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.
Let us note: Pitri whole force without matter; in contrast to this we have man in his material arrangement. In a sense, similar. After the seventh round, when man will have reached nirvana, he will again have seed nature, but a different one. Everything he has experienced here, he will take over into the seed. We have the state where everything is rolled up into one point: Involution; and the one where unfolded is: Evolution.
