Record: listeners' notes. This text is a newspaper's or a listener's report of the lecture, not a transcript. The wording is the reporter's: do not quote it as Steiner's own words. Evidence: «The text is based on Lory Maier-Smits' notes for GA 277a '1965', supplemented in part by descriptions from her essays (the note to the Dionysian course, GA 277a of 16 September 1912)». The unit's own header line in the edition served.

How the soul, once standing outside in the sensory world as the I, experiences through hearing and feeling, connects what it experiences with its own being, carries it back into itself and becomes ever richer and broader through this interplay; but how this soul also seeks a relationship with the other soul, the you, without giving up itself – there is no you without an I. And how the soul finally faces a third party, revering or contemplating, observing and describing from the outside.
