The speaker of this passage is not asserted. Q&A / discussion session: interleaves participants' questions with Steiner's answers. A given passage may be a questioner, not Steiner — confirm the speaker before quoting.
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.
That is essentially the finding. We are dealing with an etheric body that is atrophied in the most diverse places and does not absorb the effect of the astral body in the atrophied places.
