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.

We can pursue this meditation further by trying to perceive the color of the face and hair of the people facing us, as well as their eyes and any redness in their cheeks in complementary colors; also, what appears as an elevation should be seen as a depression, and vice versa. If, for example, a person has more red cheeks, they will have to be perceived as light green, and this is a sign that the person is still very much in (outer) life. If we perceive a dark green coloration with a slight redness of the face and a bluish shimmer spreading over it, the clairvoyant will be able to recognize the degree of spirituality from this more or less intense coloration. This is the beginning of where a person begins to see an aura.
