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 addition to the significant work of “Secret Doctrine” by H.P. Blavatsky, the book “Light on the Path” has also been inspired, which really is a light on the path that humanity is to follow from now on into the future. When this path is trodden, or at least understood, only then will it be possible to know something of how this knowledge and this will, which are to lead to our goal, can be attained and how they must be attained in the future. For only a few today may the path be passable. This should not be talked about further. But we can be clear about the fact that that human experience in which the appearance of meaning ceases and higher experience occurs cannot be attained other than through a certain development of the spiritual life.
