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.

Another secret became clear, that of the returning Elijah in John the Baptist; he taught reincarnation here in its entirety. That he did not teach it outwardly has its good reason in the task of Christianity: to sanctify the personality. — In ancient times, people said to themselves: This life is one of many that I endure here, will benefit me later — Egypt, laborers. Now people should learn to appreciate the individual life, to recognize its full value; Christianity is 1900 years old; all people have gone through it once. Because about one reincarnation time has passed, the reincarnation doctrine is now being taught again. Once people felt the value of the individual life. Now they have to return to the higher self.
