Anthroposophy Tomorrow is the place to be,
where topics are open and speech is free.
It's aimed at the future, but anything goes -
And where we are headed, Lucifer knows :)
If Steiner and Waldorf is something for you,
and you'd like a nice trip to Lemuria too,
You've come to the right place where action is wild -
You can write like a scholar or play like a child!
Christ calms the storm every once in a while,
but choking its life out is not quite his style -
So the waves go a-roarin', the winds keep a-blowin',
and where it's all headed is Lucifer's knowin'
Our ship is on course, though, with foodstuffs
and spices,
surrounded by vessels in cloaking devices -
Enemies, pirates, and sharks in the ocean
are waiting for blood dripping from the commotion.
Someone complains, "Let's sail home,
Mama Mia!"
"Get your ass off my bridge!" yells Captain Sophia,
"Get out on the deck; you can walk off those planks
"and get eaten by sharks if you don't join their ranks!"
Our sybils hear voices and write their long
tomes
about visions experienced far from their homes.
Our poets chime in and quote Byron and Keats,
and Shakeapeare's onboard showing off a few feats.
But then comes Christine, another loose cannon
whose forwarded warnings are never abandoned -
She flies like a fireball up in the air
and crashlands full blast in the reptiles' own lair.
Welcome, says Dugan, I'm so glad you came
-
You're invited to dinner, our course is the same:
Some stew made of roaches, a huge roasted rodent,
and a shot of Critics' Brandy; it's awfully potent.
To rescue Christine, our ship hits the Nile
where the crocs float like lumber and give us a smile,
hopin' to pound once you touch the fresh water,
By the banks are the snakes waiting for their next order.
"Hey Christine!" we shout, "Come
let's pull you on deck!!
"I'd love to," she says, "But I can't; I'm a wreck!
"Leave without me! Get going! Sail back to your sharks!
"You cannot stay here in Jurassic Park!"
Diana is puzzled, because she's been told
she's a snake or a goblin or something else cold -
She keeps lookin' around and ponderin' aloud
if being a Tyrannicus would make her more proud?
(That's how far I got. Could someone else

CHAPTER XII
Alice's Evidence
`Here!' cried Alice, quite forgetting in the
flurry of the moment how large she had grown in the last few
minutes, and she jumped up in such a hurry that she tipped over
the jury-box with the edge of her skirt, upsetting all the jurymen
on to the heads of the crowd below, and there they lay sprawling
about, reminding her very much of a globe of goldfish she had
accidentally upset the week before.
`Oh, I beg your pardon!' she exclaimed in
a tone of great dismay, and began picking them up again as quickly
as she could, for the accident of the goldfish kept running in
her head, and she had a vague sort of idea that they must be
collected at once and put back into the jury-box, or they would
die.
`The trial cannot proceed,' said the King
in a very grave voice, `until all the jurymen are back in their
proper places-- all,' he repeated with great emphasis, looking
hard at Alice as he said do. Alice looked at the jury-box, and
saw that, in her haste, she had put the Lizard in head downwards,
and the poor little thing was waving its tail about in
a melancholy way, being quite unable to move.
She soon got it out again, and put it right; `not that it signifies
much,' she said to herself; `I should think it would be quite
as much use in the trial one way up as the other.' As soon as
the jury had a little recovered from the shock of being upset,
and their slates and pencils had been found and handed back to
them, they set to work very diligently to write out a history
of the accident, all except the Lizard, who seemed too much overcome
to do anything but sit with its mouth open, gazing
up into the roof of the court.
`What do you know about this business?' the
King said to Alice.
`Nothing,' said Alice.
`Nothing whatever?' persisted the King.
`Nothing whatever,' said Alice.
`That's very important,' the King said, turning
to the jury. They were just beginning to write this down on their
slates, when the White Rabbit interrupted: `Unimportant, your
Majesty means, of course,' he said in a very respectful tone,
but frowning and making faces at him as he spoke.
`Unimportant, of course, I meant,' the King
hastily said, and went on to himself in an undertone, `important--unimportant--
unimportant--important--' as if he were trying which word sounded
best.
Some of the jury wrote it down `important,'
and some `unimportant.' Alice could see this, as she was near
enough to look over their slates; `but it doesn't matter a bit,'
she thought to herself.
At this moment the King, who had been for
some time busily writing in his note-book, cackled out `Silence!'
and read out from his book, `Rule Forty-two. All persons more
than a mile high to leave the court.'
Everybody looked at Alice.
`I'm not a mile high,' said Alice.
`You are,' said the King.
`Nearly two miles high,' added the Queen.
`Well, I shan't go, at any rate,' said Alice:
`besides, that's not a regular rule: you invented it just now.'
`It's the oldest rule in the book,' said the
King.
`Then it ought to be Number One,' said Alice.
The King turned pale, and shut his note-book
hastily. `Consider your verdict,' he said to the jury, in a low,
trembling voice.
`There's more evidence to come yet, please
your Majesty,' said the White Rabbit, jumping up in a great hurry;
`this paper has just been picked up.'
`What's in it?' said the Queen.
`I haven't opened it yet,' said the White
Rabbit, `but it seems to be a letter, written by the prisoner
to--to somebody.'
`It must have been that,' said the King, `unless
it was written to nobody, which isn't usual, you know.'
`Who is it directed to?' said one of the jurymen.
`It isn't directed at all,' said the White
Rabbit; `in fact, there's nothing written on the outside.' He
unfolded the paper as he spoke, and added `It isn't a letter,
after all: it's a set of verses.'
`Are they in the prisoner's handwriting?'
asked another of they jurymen.
`No, they're not,' said the White Rabbit,
`and that's the queerest thing about it.' (The jury all looked
puzzled.)
`He must have imitated somebody else's hand,'
said the King. (The jury all brightened up again.)
`Please your Majesty,' said the Knave, `I
didn't write it, and they can't prove I did: there's no name
signed at the end.'
`If you didn't sign it,' said the King, `that
only makes the matter worse. You must have meant some mischief,
or else you'd have signed your name like an honest man.'
There was a general clapping of hands at this:
it was the first really clever thing the King had said that day.
`That proves his guilt,' said the Queen.
`It proves nothing of the sort!' said Alice.
`Why, you don't even know what they're about!'
`Read them,' said the King.
The White Rabbit put on his spectacles. `Where
shall I begin, please your Majesty?' he asked.
`Begin at the beginning,' the King said gravely,
`and go on till you come to the end: then stop.'
These were the verses the White Rabbit read:--
`They told me you had been to her,
And mentioned me to him:
She gave me a good character,
But said I could not swim.
He sent them word I had not gone
(We know it to be true):
If she should push the matter on,
What would become of you?
I gave her one, they gave him two,
You gave us three or more;
They all returned from him to you,
Though they were mine before.
If I or she should chance to be
Involved in this affair,
He trusts to you to set them free,
Exactly as we were.
My notion was that you had been
(Before she had this fit)
An obstacle that came between
Him, and ourselves, and it.
Don't let him know she liked them best,
For this must ever be
A secret, kept from all the rest,
Between yourself and me.'
`That's the most important piece of evidence
we've heard yet,' said the King, rubbing his hands; `so now let
the jury--'
`If any one of them can explain it,' said
Alice, (she had grown so large in the last few minutes that she
wasn't a bit afraid of interrupting him,) `I'll give him sixpence.
I don't believe there's an atom of meaning in it.'
The jury all wrote down on their slates, `She
doesn't believe there's an atom of meaning in it,' but none of
them attempted to explain the paper.
`If there's no meaning in it,' said the King,
`that saves a world of trouble, you know, as we needn't try to
find any. And yet I don't know,' he went on, spreading out the
verses on his knee, and looking at them with one eye; `I seem
to see some meaning in them, after all. "--Said I could
not swim--" you can't swim, can you?' he added, turning
to the Knave.
The Knave shook his head sadly. `Do I look
like it?' he said. (Which he certainly did NOT, being made entirely
of cardboard.)
`All right, so far,' said the King, and he
went on muttering over the verses to himself: `"We know
it to be true--" that's the jury, of course-- "I gave
her one, they gave him two--" why, that must be what he
did with the tarts, you know--'
`But, it goes on "They all returned from
him to you,"' said Alice.
`Why, there they are!' said the King triumphantly,
pointing to the tarts on the table. `Nothing can be clearer than
that. Then again--"Before she had this fit--" you never
had fits, my dear, I think?' he said to the Queen.
`Never!' said the Queen furiously, throwing
an inkstand at the Lizard as she spoke. (The unfortunate little
Bill had left off writing on his slate with one finger, as he
found it made no mark; but he now hastily began again, using
the ink, that was trickling down his face, as long as it lasted.)
`Then the words don't fit you,' said the King,
looking round the court with a smile. There was a dead silence.
`It's a pun!' the King added in an offended
tone, and everybody laughed, `Let the jury consider their verdict,'
the King said, for about the twentieth time that day.
`No, no!' said the Queen. `Sentence first--verdict
afterwards.'
`Stuff and nonsense!' said Alice loudly. `The
idea of having the sentence first!'
`Hold your tongue!' said the Queen, turning
purple.
`I won't!' said Alice.
`Off with her head!' the Queen shouted at
the top of her voice. Nobody moved.
`Who cares for you?' said Alice, (she had
grown to her full size by this time.) `You're nothing but a pack
of cards!'

Thank you for your contributions to this epic
thread. I especially appreciate Christine's quote from Lewis
Carroll. John Lennon considered Lewis Carroll the most brilliant
author ever. The man who discovered the imagination of little
girls and wrote about it. Through this imagination, we get a
glimpse of the spiritual. When Alice goes through the looking
glass, the mirror, everything is reversed. John Lennon was deeply
influenced by this concept, not only in lyrics like "Strawberry
Fields Forever" and "I Am the Walrus," but in
how new music could be composed by playing tracks backwards on
the tape recorder. One day Yoko was playing a Mozart sonata on
the piano, and in a moment of inspiration, John asked if she
could play it backwards. She did, and that was how the stunningly
beautiful song from the Abbey Road album, "Because"
was born.
I'm getting ahead of myself here. Back to
Alice as the anthro-girl, whether we call her Christine or someone
else, in Criticsland. Jurassic Park? Maybe, but I've got a better
idea.
I don't know how many of you non-Scandinavians
are familiar with Henrik Ibsen's most famous play, "Peer
Gynt." It's extremely reminiscent of Goethe's "Faust"
btw. Ibsen captured the very essence of the Norwegian character
in Peer Gynt, and the story is a metamorphoses and encounter
of spirits and of karma that makes it look like Faust. Naturally,
it wasn't too much of a surprise to me when I learned what some
Ibsen scholars recently discovered, namely that the playwright
was reading Theosophy (Blavatsky) Take that to the bank, PLANS,
and shake your heads in paranoid disgust. Try proclaiming to
the world that Henrik Ibsen was a racist, a pre-Nazi, an anti-Semite
and nuts in his head and all the rest of your usual crap and
see where it gets you.
Anyway, the PLANS-WC lair is reminiscent of
a lot of things. A toilet or sewer inevitably comes to mind first
(WC remember), but if we are to think about something more imaginative
and exalted, we're brought to The Royal Hall of the King of the
Dovre-Trolls (Peer Gynt, Act 2, Scene 6), where a large assembly
of troll-courtiers, gnomes, and brownies await Peer. The Old
Man of the Dovre on the throne - let's call him Deedee just for
the hell of it - crowned, and with his sceptre in his hand. His
children and nearest relations are ranged on both sides. (Fill
in the blanks as you please.) Peer Gynt is replaced by Christine
or Alice or the Anthro-Girl, who stands before The Old Man of
the Dovre. Violent commotion in the hall.
http://home.c2i.net/espenjo/home/ibsen/peergynt/pg_2f_e.htm
I'm not going to quote from the play (but
by all means, help yourself to a morsel from the webpage above).
I'd like to continue with Christine's adventurous journey, and
I do like to call her Christine, because our Christine Natalie
shares her first name with my stepsister and her last name with
my late mother, Julia Natalie. So Christine is Lewis Carroll's
Alice and Henrik Ibsen's Peer, and she has gone off into the
air like a fireball because Diana played with matches, and she
crashlands in......
This is where I wish to edit what I wrote,
inspired by Bradford's keen interest in the old Rolling Stones
song, "Sympathy for the Devil":
But then comes Christine, another loose cannon
whose forwarded warnings are never abandoned -
She flies through the air like a fireball
and crashlands full blast in the Dovre-trolls' Hall.
Pleased to meet you, says Deedee, You do know
my name -
Getting anthro's in here is my specialty game.
Say hello to my cronies; they've followed your scent
Let them punch you around if you're still anthro-bent.
I was around in the formative years
when St. Rudy dared not yet speak
and I made sure that his science peers
labelled him as a freak.
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around in Dornach
When I saw it was a time for a blaze
Made sure it gave Rudy a fatal blow
when he saw all that work was in vain.
I rode a tank
Held a general’s rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While Ita and Marie
Fought for several decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who called them Nazis?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for Waldorf schools
Who get closed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
As Deedee finished his welcome song,
he offered Christine something strong -
Some stew made of roaches, a huge roasted rodent,
and a shot of Troll Brandy that's awfully potent.
OK, now someone else has to take over - again.)

CHAPTER XII
Alice's Evidence
<snip>
`What do you know about this business?'
the King said to Alice.
`Nothing,' said Alice.
`Nothing whatever?' persisted the King.
`Nothing whatever,' said Alice.
`That's very important,' the King said,
turning to the jury. They were just beginning to write this down
on their slates, when the White Rabbit interrupted: `Unimportant,
your Majesty means, of course,' he said in a very respectful
tone, but frowning and making faces at him as he spoke.
`Unimportant, of course, I meant,' the
King hastily said, and went on to himself in an undertone, `important--unimportant--
unimportant--important--' as if he were trying which word sounded
best.
Some of the jury wrote it down `important,'
and some `unimportant.' Alice could see this, as she was near
enough to look over their slates; `but it doesn't matter a bit,'
she thought to herself.
At this moment the King, who had been for
some time busily writing in his note-book, cackled out `Silence!'
and read out from his book, `Rule Forty-two. All persons more
than a mile high to leave the court.'
Everybody looked at Alice.
`I'm not a mile high,' said Alice.
`You are,' said the King.
`Nearly two miles high,' added the Queen.
`Well, I shan't go, at any rate,' said
Alice: `besides, that's not a regular rule: you invented it just
now.'
Bradford comments;
There is a point to this Ask Alice, when she's
Ten Feet Tall paradigm. First the selfish character of knowledge,
must be retranslated into the unselfish STREAM of intelligence.
Objective insights from how the Michael School is STREAMING INTELLIGENCE
often takes a little while to see how intuitions arise and fall
in the background of human consciousness.
We develop, like photographers in a darkroom,
thoughts and intuitions that use the three day and sleep rhythm
process before we experience how Michael answers in the minds
and hearts of others, what we saw and developed in our own intuitions.
Selfishness in the process sometimes wants instant fast food
verification at the drive in window, as if true thinking and
thought digestion is a drive through window of fast intellectual
small change exchange. It certainly is not for those souls involved
in the Michael School.
There is a great deal of selfishness in our
connection to our research. But, for my part, I enjoy collaborating
with the World Idea and the World Thought. It is wonderful to
see what strangers are thinking. Suddenly, from the wide world,
they don't appear so strange.
Certainly the Stream of Intelligence that
lives between the sleeping and waking intelligence of the breathing
process of Michael and the Starry world, as day turns to night
and back to day again, carries the tide of global consciousness
with it. The Dead, if we are true, also would have something
to say about the wonderful pictures, the collaboration of the
picture with already established writers who had faithfully left
their trails for us to review and relift into perspectives that
unfold even more deeply than they suspected at the time. I will
give you an example or two.
Such novel insights in Goethe's "Green
Snake and Beautiful Lily" or "The Blue Flower"
by Novalis, a tale of Henrich von Ofterdingen as well as the
current rich terrain of "Lord of the Rings" reveals
Michael School kernels that have been secreted under the skirts
and kilts of such ilk as George McDonald and Goethe. Here Imagination
and cool intellect managed to dance together and in that dance
the Spiritual world glistened through in buried kernels. So here
I produce, out of the hat, a hat trick that has to do with actual
Watching the Horizon all along the Watchtower and connecting
unselfish imaginations ideas with real unselfish flowing insights.
Please remember dear readers; America currently
represents much more than a Fairy Tale threat, we are engaged
in debunking the entangled and deeply rooted Ahrimanic crisis
we are in, and Spiritual Science is much more than the window
opened through the tiny, lost in translation text of "The
Green Snake and Beautiful Lily". Just ask Alice, when She's
Ten feet Tall.
President Bush: Six impossible
things, all before breakfast
By DON WILLIAMS
February 13, 2004
About half of all Americans
still embrace the many surreal policies of Bush/ Cheney, and
a recent morning - as this is written - it occurred to me how
they do it. Like the queen in "Alice in Wonderland,"
they've perfected the art of believing six impossible things
before breakfast. To refresh your memory of the Lewis Carroll
classic, here's an excerpt:
"Alice laughed, 'There's
no use trying,' she said, 'one can't believe impossible things.'
'I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen.
'When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day.
Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things
before breakfast.' "
I decided to give it a try.
Here they are, six impossible things before breakfast.
Saddam Hussein is/was the
most dangerous man on earth since Hitler. It's impossible to
believe, given new revelations that Pakistan's most famous scientist,
Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, not only gave Pakistan the bomb but supplied
nuclear technology to North Korea, Libya, Iran and others.
Yet there's been hardly a
peep from Bush against Pakistan's national hero, even as Khan's
boss, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, publicly pardoned him. Thanks to
Khan, several nations now have nukes. Still, read our leaders'
lips, and it's possible to believe Saddam, not Khan, was the
world's most dangerous man.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia
are our friends. It's possible to believe if you close your ears
to reports that we allowed Pakistan to airlift hundreds of radical
Pakistanis out of Afghanistan as the Northern Alliance closed
in on Taliban forces near the Pakistani border in 2002. While
you're at it, pretend that neither Pakistan nor Saudi Arabia
have been complicit in spreading anti-American propaganda.
Big media makes it easy to
ignore pesky stories that we flew a couple of hundred Saudis
out of the United States on 9-12, just as the media has mostly
failed to investigate reports that Bush's father was speaking
to Saudi businessmen, including a brother of Osama bin Laden,
on 9-11 when airliners struck those towers.
Lesson: To believe the impossible,
turn away from disturbing reports.
Just shut your eyes, take
a deep breath and you can believe the following run-on sentence:
Dick Cheney had only the national interest at heart when, as
secretary of defense under Bush's father, he set up a system
of awarding Army contracts to Halliburton and others, then left
government and became CEO of Halliburton, which located subsidiaries
off-shore in order to profit from rebuilding rogue nations like
Iraq and Iran while avoiding U.S. taxes; then Cheney became vice
president, banged the drum for another war against Iraq, gave
Halliburton the Army supply contracts while he received deferred
salary and company stock.
Now exhale, while telling
yourself, "No conflict of interest there, not even the appearance
of such."
It's possible to believe this
administration isn't selling out the public interest if you ignore
Cheney's closed-door meetings with lobbyists for Enron and other
companies while writing official energy policy. If you believe
the way to beat terror is to hand tax dollars to giant energy
corporations.
If you believe nuclear contractors
should write their own safety regulations. If you believe the
government shouldn't use collective bargaining to hold down prescription
drug prices and that half- trillion-dollar deficits and lower
taxes for the rich is the way to go, why then it's easy to believe
no one's selling out the public interest.
It's possible to believe Bush
is good for the environment by telling yourself: It's OK to blow
the tops off mountains and dump them in Appalachian streams to
get at the coal. Fewer rivers should be protected under the Clean
Water Act. Depleted uranium should be made into artillery shells
and used in Iraq and elsewhere. We should be immune from arms
treaties and nuclear regulations. Global warming isn't worth
mentioning.
Our president's military record
is hunky-dory for a man busy sending others to kill and die if
you forget that the National Guard was a place people went to
avoid Vietnam in the 1960s and if you take it seriously when
people say you're being critical of guardsmen now in Iraq if
you bring up Bush's record in the Air National Guard back then.
And if it's perfectly feasible that none of Bush's commanders
would remember his reporting for duty or taking certain required
flight exams.
If all this makes sense, then
you're on safe ground in admiring the flight suit he wore when
landing on the aircraft carrier at San Diego. Heck, it's even
possible to believe he flew that plane.
See? Six impossible things
before breakfast."

Bradford hugs Alice;
Lets see through the looking glass.
R.S.
March 4, 1909
"In the choleric, the ego and the blood
system predominate. Cholerics come across as people who must
always have their own way. Their aggressiveness, everything connected
with their forcefulness of will, derives from their blood circulation.
(snip)
"The varying combinations of the four
members also manifest themselves quite clearly in external appearance.
People in whom the ego predominates seek to triumph over all
obstacles, to make their presence known. Accordingly their ego
stunts the growth of the other members; it witholds from the
astral and etheric bodies their due portion. This reveals itself
outwardly in a very clear fashion. Johann Gottlieb Fichte, that
famous German Choleric, was recognizable as such purely externally.
His build revealed clearly that the lower essential members had
been held back in their growth. Napoleon, another classic example
of choleric, was so short because his ego had held the other
members back. Of course, one cannot generalize that all cholerics
are short and all sanguines tall. It is a question of proportion..."
Bradford asks Bach:
I have been accused of being Choleric. I was
Choleric. However my "Well-Tempered Clavier" understood
my melancholic side, my home body phlegmatic side and my massive
gemini moon, Virgo Sun mercurial and sanguine side. It was my
Mars in Leo that drove me towards fiery confrontation and my
Cancer rising and Virgo sun that calmed me.
All four temperaments are in everyone of us.
Some dominated by Water, Some Fire, Some Air and some Earth...you
have to be a Goethean observer to see just how the gods put together
the mixing of the Spirit kernel with the hereditary stream. You
can SEE it when you SEE the human being before you and begin
putting together the pieces of the puzzle. Luckily the puzzle
takes time. It takes brotherhood and interest. I am no prophet
of selflessness, in fact I guard my precious privacy in very
peculiar ways.
How do Rising-Sun-Moon and the shifting daily
terrain square with the size of the various constellations? That
would indicate that from grounded Capricorn Sun we booted ourselves
into Aquarius Air Sun, this also can be seen in the movement
of stirring forces either in a classroom or in the bing-bang-boom
of everyone jarring together on the Internet. Stope shaking the
Seltzer bottle, be careful with that axe handle Jethro!
Frank Smith obviously has dealt with this
'Sophia' babette before. And any enuch will tell you that dicklessness
gives the vertical a chance to germinate. God knows horizontal
fun and games, (I have the photos from Frank's computer which
I hacked) showing Sophia in all her starry nakedness. On the
photo was the signature, a pictograph really, that said, "Sophia
you are NUT" and let me tell the position she was in, made
starry romance pale and bedroom antics pale. It kind of reminded
me of the normal artwork that graces the Frank Jo site. NUT was
Naked as Hippie on bicycle.
Now the final aspect of this rough contemplation
is very much to do with the Sanguine shiftiness of Michael School
souls who unsubscribe at the drop of a Hatters Hat. Dottie and
I have seen this all before with various tantrums.. I can't speak
for JoAnn for she is the one who throws most of the tantrums...
I mean that passively aggressively. And JoAnn knows exactly that
I am full of Shishkabobs!
One thing about Passive Aggressive behavior
is how the double 'GG' sound adds something to the Snake hissing
sounds. What I like is very radical manifestations with a Well-Tempered
Clavier. That means that self-knowledge slowly grows, we hope,
like the skill of a Well-Tempered Clavier. A piano that can contain
passion, Clare De Lune, the beautiful Cancerian thingy or pounding
Choleric Beethoven.. Sweet Bach or wild and entrancing Mozart.
A Well-Tempered Clavier is something that is indicated in the
catalogue of KOHW. How to Attain a Well-Tempered Clavier or;
HAWTC. You can oder it from the warehouse, however it may take
a half a lifetime to ship, ask Frank.
So unsubscribing out of honor, out of insult,
out of lack of comprehension and misunderstanding means that
the piano tuner has been away from your Clavier for sometime.
Mind you, my choleric need to be top dog has slunk behind the
rich melancholic nature of depth, Love and tragedy. That a Michael
School List sometimes fails to understand itself let alone others,
sets a very strange example. No, as anyone knows, I never require
perfection. No Waldorf Teacher will ever require perfection,
but the real thingy that the person is, is a real jumble of metabolism,
nerves and blood circulation is also a real spiritual revelation.
You have no idea how wonderfully Goethean and Greek this revelation
of the moving human being is, the speaking human being is, until
you have raised the observation to the level of wonder.
I am not in the business of meeting everyone
without first having destiny knock. But I have met Harvey because
my own Father and sister had disappeared into the wilds Arizona.
I met Harvey, took the time to meet Harvey in the wilds of Arizona.
I took to the time to meet Tom Mellett in the wilds of TN; and
took the time, destiny offered to meet one of the finest little
anthros in the wilds of New Orleans Bobby Matherene.
Love and opinion has a chance to form from
a distance. I have a general brotherly and sisterly love for
those who have heroically remained stunned by Spiritual Science.
I call these and many others friend and sister as my companions.
Don't let our mere temperaments get in the way of the bold ideals
we live with. We are nor required to set an example, we are not
Initiates. We are required to appreciate our journey and worlds
journey towards self knowledge.

"A Crazy Blueprint for
a Crazy Time
by Tom White
"I struggle against wishful
thinking, but it is hard, hard. There are so many wonderful signs
that this evil administration is on the edge of deconstruction
(you see how one has learned to fling the word "evil"
about) that hope and happiness leap up, despite all one can do
to keep them down. Oh, merciful Lord, may it be that D.C. shall
be cleansed as Hercules once cleansed those stables.
One wants the utter rout of
these wretched human beings who send young citizens off to mad
wars telling them they are to "end evil in the world."
The assumption has to be that these young people are stone ignorant
of even the most rudimentary classical and Christian psychology,
which has always recognized that there are two in each of us,
one good, bright, honest, true; the other, "the deceitful
man," wicked, selfish, crafty, lying. The line between the
two, as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote, goes right down the middle
of each human heart. And we have each to decide, over and over
again, for the right thing, if, with God's help, we can.
I find myself in a mood to
take stock as we wait to see the denouement of the various investigations,
commissions, inquiries, and continuing new revelations. Will
it be a release from this ghastly thralldom the nation has entered
– a war state, a police state, a detested rogue state –
or will it be a vindication for these architects of ruin."
Bradford comments;
Debunking the Ahrimanic Imperialism of the
Neocon West requires both "Alice" and Goethe. Goethe
would say, 'alas two souls reside within my breast'. Steiner
would add that at least three souls reside within our breast.
Potential Christ-active Lucifer and active Ahriman. Solzhenitsyn,
Milton, Goethe, Lytton were giving us curious and wonderful paradigms
to dislodge and shake out the Ahrimanic in us. It's shook out
alright.
The wonderful complexity of how the Sentient
Soul is a measure, no less invisible than the temperaments, which
can easily be observed by watching the reactions to Janet Jackson
and the U.S. Superbowel is obvious to most. But further complexities
that reach into time dating the entrance of ahrimanic forces
into the Intellectual Soul, gives us both Sade and his dialogue
with "A Priest and a Dying Man" or "The Grand
Inquisitor" and the Bacon vs Shakespeare time line that
awakened science into an Intellectual Soul confrontation with
the wonders of Technolgy and the deep coolness verging on cold
fusion of the intellect.
Stopping for a moment in the Intellectual
Soul we understand that after the Michael Battle of exiling the
Ahrimanic into the heads of humanity and lodging them as well
in the "Will to Power", around 1879 Edison, Light Bulbs
and film begin to carve a path towards the 'Matrix' of fallen
Light, magnetism and electricity. Niccolò Machiavelli
(1469-1527) awards us insights into the historical symptomology
that Steiner indicated as enhanced encroachment of Ahrimanic
thinking into a history of Political intrigue and catastrophe.
We can choose Death in our Intellects over
the Etheric Christ but we must struggle with Pauline Schizophrenia
and rabid denial. Nothing in either the Bible or current Science
Myth or Steiner allows us to squirm off the hook of this choice.
Having researched the 10,000 odd case examples of Near Death
Experience, we understand that the Life Tableau is a real experience.
But Kant drew a line in the sand of what we and medical science
wish to consider as 'REAL' and or brain chemistry.
We sweep back to Goethean Science and understand
the metamorphosis of leaf unfoldment, and seed, stem, leaf, blossom
and move to four part divisions, 4 1/2 divisions of mineral-plant-(insect)
animal and human and begin retraining our faulty, subjective
broken Rainbow Bridge of thinking, to see. We see Sentient Soul
levels of perception, Intellectual Soul ranges of perception
and Consciousness Soul layers of perception. The invisible becomes
part of the natural capacity that humans have as a reality of
Consciousness. Or Not!
We can look at the Ahrimanic Prophets and
compare them to Christian Prophets. We can say clearly that Nietzsche
was a sort of John the Baptist figure for Ahriman. Make Way for
the New Zarathustrian paradigm is at hand. Change your thinking
to Cloning and the Superman. Even if those who played Superman
usually have suffered horrible accidents and death. This radically
differs from the paradigm of Jesus bearing both Zarathustra-Nazara
and also bringing in both Krishna and Buddha into the mix.
We can see how the Pauline experience is countered
by the Pauline prophet of Ahriman, Oppenheimer. Plus we have
the added value of seeing how Stephen Hawking and Newton both
get to sit in the chair of Science while Steiner gets a dunce
hat and must sit in the corner. Even if Newton really had a profound
christian track running through his veins. But Steiner must sit
in the corner and suck his thumb. He was a bad boy. Like many
today, he told the Truth! Not very comfortable truth, but vision
of the Truth from the aspect of the Spirit Self.
The power and god of Fallen Light can be very
clearly traced back to Manichean doctrines of at least seven
different aspects of light. One of the lower rungs of Light is
secreted in matter. In this Light, Ahriman opened his new church
of Dr. Strangelove. Now we see Dr. Strangelove was incarnated
again in Pakistan as the hero of Pakistan's bomb. We truly can
understand the classic experience of the military industrial
complex and Stanley Kurbrick's Dr. Stangelove. It's all a matter
of bodily fluids... etheric juices. I'm sure most of you might
miss this reference.
Light burst forth and along with it the Church
of Fear. Here we see the 33rd President of the U.S. Truman give
us the fabled number 33, (33rd President) that brings us back
to the Prophecy of 1933 and the Etheric Christ. These 33's and
the 33 notches of the spine and 33 year old Jefferson all tell
us an invisible tale about the New Key note number of 33. Search
our hearts as we may, we cannot fathom how such potent force
can be attached to a number.
We have no proof. We have immortality and
we have growing ourselves into higher vision. Steiner towers
above Jung, but we had to live through Freud for the Sentient
Soul - Jung for the Intellectual and Consciousness Soul- Joseph
Campbell and towering with a vast number of souls, Steiner brought
forth his mission as Spirit Self, the mature plateau. But Steiner
was a bad boy, he should not be counted. He should stay after
school and write 33 X's 1000 33 on the blackboard, "I will
not mislead and bring false hope and hallucinations into Ahriman's
realm." Those who we tend to worship, like Lazarus John...
make great copy for Science Fiction. They must be discounted
along with Steiner for no future mature prophets are allowed
to speak from the higher developments of future soul conditions.
After all Steiner didn't know what he was talking about and was
a rabid -------.
Now we are in the Consciousness Soul. These
complex regions where 'alas two souls reside within my breast'
have been widened out to vistas and scaffoldings of the entire
human potential on up to the Seraphim. Almost any one of us here
could outline the 12 to 13 layers of Being, where man is placed
at the 10th level of the graduating classes with animal, plant,
(insect) and mineral pulling up our rears. But what we get is
the clinically absurd and spoiled, we don't like Dr. Steiner.

Dear Dan,
I hope you get more donations than President Clinton's Legal
Defense Fund, but I'm curious. If I were to donate $1,000, you
would declare me an "Angel." But in the Steiner/Waldorf
panoply of angelology, there are 9 distinct hierarchies of angels.
So which one of the 9 would I be? (And would I get a T-shirt
or coffee mug with a picture of that angel?) And as long as we're
on the subject of angels, perhaps I could aid you in marketing
strategy. There is a big gap between $100 for a Patron and $1,000
for an Angel, so may I suggest a correlation between the 9 hierarchies
of angels and 9 hierarchical amounts that people can donate.
I'll bet you'd get a lot more money this way!
Angel $250
Archangel $500
Archai $750
Exousiai $1,000
Dynameis $1,250
Kyriotetes $1,500
Throne $1,750
Cherub $2,000
Seraph $2,500
God: $3,000 and above
Tom.
(of the hierarchy known as
"mortal human being," sometimes referred to by Rudolf
Steiner as the "10th Hierarchy.")

you could choose which Angel you wish to be. For a $1,000, you
may even get a bumper sticker that reads: (Dumb joke alert)
Old Waldorf teachers never
die - they just reincarnate.
I agree with you, Tom. There
is too much of a jump between $100 and $1000.

"Aristotle was famous
for knowing everything. He taught that the brain exists merely
to cool the blood and is not involved in the process of thinking.
This is true only of certain persons."
Will Cuppy (The Decline and
Fall of Practically Everybody)
Bradford concludes;
'Fair and Balanced' news or stunning insights
into human history and the revelation of Humanity is in pitched
battle in the Intellectual/Consciousness Soul border and trench
warfare that is much more akin to the trench warfare of WWI.
Dislodging the Ahrimanic grip on the Intellectual Soul when the
Sentient Soul is poisoned, immature and disenfrancised, allows
us to confront time and time again from the 20th to the now 21st
century, pitched battle with Ahrimanic Death forces in the Intellect.
Ahriman is a COOL OPERATOR.
It certainly is not bad to have these death
forces in the intellect, it wakes up the individual heart and
forces us to feel the pain. Very few souls have attempted to
look as far back to matter and the human spirit as TAO and TAOTL.
Very few have strode forward through history to reveal in prophetic
facts, fully founded prophetic facts, that in 1933 the Etheric
Christ would rise and the Industrial corporate supported efficiency
of ethnic cleaning, smoke belching furnaces resembling the wonders
of the Industrial age..would 'let the dogs hidden in human brains-OUT'.
So the question you have to ask yourself is who let the dogs
OUT?
