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.
The Sun: the first round of the Sun forms the repetition of Saturn. In the second round, the human being enters deep sleep consciousness; the etheric body is formed. During the fourth round, the spirits of the sons of fire become 'human', and they use the etheric body of man to incarnate in it. In the fifth round, the Asuras claim the physical body again. During the seventh round, the human physical body is again at its densest, the etheric body relatively so, and its counter-image arises in the spiritual: Budhi.
