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: «Frühe Vortragsreihen und Einzelvorträge für Mitglieder in Berlin 1903–1904 nach ausführlichen und z.T. fragmentarischen Mitschriften.» (Early lecture series and single lectures for members in Berlin 1903-1904, from detailed and in part fragmentary listeners' transcripts.). The publisher's description of the volume, as mirrored on AnthroWiki (GA 90a); the description calls them "Hörermitschriften", and the served text carries the note-taker's gap marker "[Lücke in der Mitschrift]". The translation is the maintainer's, not a published one.
In the continuation of this path, man must not only be brought to experience the world of thought as his own, but in order to be able to connect with reality at a higher level, he must also transform the entire world of feeling. Then the ability to see things directly in the higher worlds during the waking day consciousness begins, for example the human aura; initially only in the lower stages. When a person has reached this stage, he has basically already opened up a source of extraordinarily profound experience. Then he lives just as consciously in the spiritual as the ordinary person lives within the sense things.
