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: «Grundlage sind Aufzeichnungen, die jeweils nach der Stunde angefertigt wurden.» (The basis is records written down after each lesson.). The publisher's description of the volume, as mirrored on AnthroWiki (GA 91). The translation is the maintainer's, not a published one.
There are certain expressions that have been in use in all secret schools since ancient times to hide certain facts from the profane. For example, the expression 'on the mountain'. It means the 'interior of the temple', where the secret school is located and the secret disciple is initiated into certain things. “Jesus went up into the mountain,” that is to say, he led them into the interior of his mystery school and expounded what he had taught in parables before the multitude.
