21. Gnosis and the Apocalypse

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: «Auch wenn die Mitschrift noch nicht die später übliche Genauigkeit aufweist» (Even though the transcript does not yet have the accuracy usual later). The publisher's description of the volume, as mirrored on AnthroWiki (GA 87), which calls the cycle the earliest of which a listener's transcript exists. The translation is the maintainer's, not a published one.

Christ once called himself the cornerstone, the highest point of the pyramid. He is the one who has reached the highest. - "And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." She is the new bride who is to be married in the new spirit. The Spirit is to unite with the church and it is to present the temple. "And he who sat on the throne said, 'Behold, I am making all things new! And he said to me, 'Write, for these words are true and certain. And he said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the thirsty from the fountain of living water freely." The living water is the way up. Man has to make his way upwards through material things, he has to turn upwards. "He who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God and he will be my son." The new Jerusalem, the bride of the Lamb is the new church.
