Record: listeners' notes. Written from listeners' notes, summaries, or memory rather than a shorthand transcript. The wording is the note-taker's as much as Steiner's: weigh a single striking phrase here far more cautiously than the same phrase in a stenographic volume, and do not rest an argument on one word. Evidence: «Gedächtnisaufzeichnungen von Teilnehmern» (Participants' records written from memory). Rudolf Steiner Verlag Gesamtverzeichnis 2022, volume subtitle. The translation is the maintainer's, not a published one.

(Working our way into the supersensible world [is] connected with the feeling of being moved by the hierarchies that want to work through us, which in the sub-sensible world [is] connected with the feeling of being moved; keep the two separate. For example, when meditating into the Saturn state, if the thrones and spirits of the personality appear in association with the element of fire, this is incorrect and misleading. One must clearly perceive the two as separate. Up to the hierarchy, a descent into the elemental realm and back up again.)
