Record: unknown. How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here. Unknown is not an assurance of a stenogram: check the edition's own notes before resting an argument on one word.

The world-spirit-word must speak. From it, thoughts stream forth. But the thoughts are formative, the thoughts are infused with force; the thoughts stream forth and world beings and world events thereby come into being, becoming all that is.

It is not a simple sort of thinking; it is not a simple sort of speaking; it is formation, That which is creating forceful crafting, forces streaming forth in words. Forces imprint the thoughts out into world-beings, into world-events.
