Some of them apparently think I'm Catholic, while others think

of atheism, I'm not even an atheist), some think I'm an anarchist,
while others think I'm a marxist, and so forth. All this attention
is flattering, I suppose, but it's still hard to see what any
of it might have to do with Rudolf Steiner's views on Jews.
The apparent reason for this guesswork is
that you keep your deeper convictions, views and opinions about
religion and philosophy and politics hidden. That's unusual for
someone who posts as voluminously and writes as prolifically
as you do. You give the impression that you're only here for
the game, for the fun of it, for a hobby that won't bore you.
It looks as if people are trying to discover a grain of sincerity
in all this, which is why they're trying to guess where you're
coming from. You should consider that a compliment, and you probably
do, but instead of amusing yourself with what others try to guess,
why not play with open cards?
Incidentally, when I "think" you're
an anarchist, it's based upon your
own words on the WC Jan 24, 2004:
"In any case, I think
that what this theme points to is that movements and worldviews
that are relatively far from the mainstream often get extremely
protective when outside analysts decide to study their doctrines
and traditions. This certainly happens among anarchists, a far-from-the-mainstream
tendency that I belong to, and it seems likely to me that something
similar is the case with anthroposophists."

That's silly. I am an anarchist, I don't believe in god, my politics
are far to the left, and so forth. I've said all those things
right here on this list several times. I don't like capitalism,
monogamy, the state, or asparagus. Philosophically I'm a social
ecologist, a dialectician, and a consequentialist in ethics.
What exactly is it that you think I am keeping hidden?

Well that's a start. And it's actually not
silly of Tarjei to comment as people are trying to understand
a bit where you are coming from and trying to find a bit of sincerity
in the ongoing discussions.
These things above have not been stated by
you rather they seemed to have been picked out by others as they
try to come to understand the man they are debating. I like to
see why it is that I find your views so entrenched in an uncomprimising
word war fare that defies logic to such an extent that you are
unaware of how easily one with an open mind can see through.
I am also trying to hold onto the idea that
you actually truly do not understand your chosen subject, versus
are lying about it, but it gets harder each day that you remain
immovable even when shown a different perspective of the man
by the students that study his work whether it be one year, ten
years or thirty. You think you know better and you do not. And
your work in the end portraying Dr. Steiner is going to be just
a lie and not a legacy. And that will be what you leave to the
world: a lie. But it is as you wish Peter, only you can live
your own life and only you will be held accountable for it. So,
if you don't mind continuing in this ill concieved notion of
yours, against all odds, so be it. And that kind of makes me
sad for you but that's just the way it is.

Tarjei:
You debate in a manner that is evasive in
many ways, sidetracking the issue raised by someone else by finding
ways to revert to your old worn-out repetitive polemical arguments
about racism and anti-Semitism. You ask for views and perspectives
by others, and then you ignore what is being said and respond
only to the letter of the select words that contradict your own,
and if the going gets tough, you argue syntax and grammar and
definitions as if to avoid a recognition of the other person's
central grasp of the issue at hand.
This is clever, but it's also dishonest and
insincere. You never compare Steiner's views on racial evolution
with your own views, offering your explanations as to
how we have evolved into what we have become. You say you don't
believe in God, but you don't say whether or not you believe
that biological life originates from chemical processes, if the
universe is the result of blind chance in a primordial soup.
You appear to have no interest whatsoever in Rudolf Steiner's
cosmology or epistemology, and although you may throw off some
remarks about your position, it's all generic labels, such as
"anarchist", "ecologist", "atheist-agnostic"
and so on - labels that tell us absolutely nothing about your
real self. Not a single conviction about the origin or meaning
of existence; not one reflection, wonder, feeling is expressed
in any of your long texts.
So who knows what you're hiding and why?
Tarjei:
That's unusual for someone who posts as
voluminously and writes as prolifically as you do.
Peter:
But I do write prolifically about those
topics, except for god and asparagus.
Tarjei:
The topics you choose are peripheral and superficial
in relation to the central theme. Always. The main topic in anthroposophy
is origin of life, meaning of existence, the mission of love,
the mystery of the Christ. And related to the mystery of the
Christ is the mystery of the Jews. You write about "the
Jewish question" and how it was discussed in the 1880's
and 1890's and the early years of the 20th century, and you write
about what Steiner said or wrote about this "Jewish question",
but you would never consider that to Steiner, this topic may
not just have been what is contained in the expression "the
Jewish question", but something much much deeper, namely:
The Jewish Mystery. From the mind-blowing wealth of insight concerning
the history of the Jews that Steiner expressed throughout his
25 years of lecturing, it is obvious that to him, the Jewish
question was something much more profound than the socio-political
ideas among Jews and non-Jews in Europe at that time. I did try
to approach this Jewish Mystery in my recent post entitled "Hebrews".
(By the term "Hebrews" I mean the Jews of Biblical
times, not of modern times, although the Hebrew language is still
in use.) But you seem incapable or unwilling to try to apprehend
any concepts involved in such mysteries, so instead, you revert
to your old rhetoric about anti-Semitism as though this perspective
had never been suggested at all. And you do write prolifically
on your old track which sounds like a broken record, but which
is a very boring pursuit in addition to being a dead end, intellectually
and spiritually. The latter seems to be something you call "god
and aspargus" which seems to reflect your take on spirituality.
Perhaps "god and aspargus" has something
to do with your dialectics, and perhaps your incessant insistence
that Steiner was an anti-Semite has something to do with your
ethical consequentialism, but I find it difficult to consider
these indications address any of the unanswered questions touched
upon in this message.
Peter:
What are you talking about?
Tarjei:
I'm talking about the absence of clear concepts
from you that can grapple with or relate to those realities we
are trying to describe when we answer your requests to explain
why we defend Rudolf Steiner's views.

It wasn't detective work, Diana. It was something

Yesterday
Peter wrote on this list that he is an anarchist.
Was there anything wrong with the reference
I quoted? If so, what was wrong with it? In one of his latest
posts, PS wrote that "anarchist" was one of those things
some people thought he was (as if such notions about him were
wild).

You know, I really did give you more credit

mundane reason, or do you think it's a conspiracy to prevent
A_T list members from learning the secrets of Peter Staudenmaier.
Try it again, then click on the "Home"

into their search box. You will get a list of Peter's articles
that are found on the site, as well as replies to them. I clicked
a couple of those too, to see if the links were working. They
are. Or at least they worked for me. Maybe there's some fearful

Diana, you wrote:

None of those articles reveal anything at
all about the author's philosophical worldview. But even
if they had revealed this, which psychological theory are you
using when you claim that failing to discover them is evidence
of paranoia? Can you explain this?
and he answers all such questions patiently,
no matter how many times the same person has asked the same question,
and even when the questions are infantile.
Can you please quote an infintile question
by me and explain why you would characterize it as such?
You know, I really did give you more credit

You're dodging the issue, here, Diana. The
point is not what PS writes; it's what he does not
write. Half of the articles listed on this site (which I have
visited before btw) are based upon the false notion that Rudolf
Steiner and Anthroposophy belong in the same basket as Adolf
Hitler and his cronies. That does not speak well for the credibility
and honesty of his writings. And frankly, Diana, I'm completely
indifferent to how much or how little credit you give me for
anything. I couldn't care less.
Maybe there's some fearful reason you personally
are denied access.
"Some fearful reason you personally...."
- What is that supposed to mean? What do you mean by "fearful"?
Incidentally, I've been to this site before,
and the articles are not new to me. I've published four of the
rebuttals and completed the English translations of three of
these. Searching on his name on Google does not provide answers
to the questions at hand, which you will find in my other message
posted simultaneously with this one.

Hey Diana,
It's not paranoia rather it is a decent question
to ask of a man writing on a subject he has no understanding
of. And Peter hasn't offered anything up willingly when asked,
it's just a merry go round and that's about it. Yesterday was
the first day he actually fessed up a little about his background
that he keeps saying is irrelevant. And that is because our wonderful
Paulina made it plain to everyone with a little writing of Peters
where his sympathies lie. And boy do they lie:) sorry.
This man has no understanding of the very
subject he writes about which I find absolutely assinine. What
stupidity to claim the things he does. Truly ridiculous. Wanna
keep following a lie go ahead be our guest but don't expect thinking
people who do not adhere to his non spiritual world view to cop
to his version of the story. Not even a learned Rabbi will.
Peter wants to try and separate a thing and
he can not. The essoteric learnings of the Hebrews are not to
fault for the Nazi regime are they? And what I find mostly Steiner
shares are these same mysteries the ancient Hebrew sages found
and they would recognize that in an instant. The seeking spirit
will find this in the spiritual worlds, well at least one of
Dr. Steiners caliber anyway.
Blaming Steiner's world view, based on his
spiritual findings, is like blaming the Hebrews for the Nazi
regime. Why do you think the Jews have not come out and outrightly
blamed Madame Blatvaski? Because they have a very similar cosmology.
The only difference is that they do not share it out loud in
the way that Madame Blatvaski or even Dr. Steiner did. The Hebrews
keep it in the synogogue for the most part and that is where
it will stay, other than in the teachings of the Zohar. And one
day according to my very, what I call ultra conservative, Jewish
friend Mathew, they will return to the Priestly aspect in order
to share God with the world.
Ridiculous, how the knowledge Peter is twisting
to make his story work, is the mirror image of what Dr. Steiner
taught. If you are going to blame Steiner for initiating the
ideals that formed the Nazi regime you would have to look further
back in history to find the occult beginnings of his work: the
Hebrews. And then where do you go Diana? Where?
Intuitive Thinking As A Spiritual Path, formerly
known as Philosophy of Freedom, is a good place to begin realizing
whether you are the master of your own thoughts or if your thoughts
are the master of you, and if so where do they come from and
what? Are you riding the horse or the horse is riding you

Exactly.
I do like the idea of living in the question, so to speak, which
is what "living thinking" is to me, but Peter's mode
of questioning is all to often derisive or diversionary.
And thanks Tarjei for using the word "sincerity." This
is a character trait that I have come to admire in many people
over the years. I've heard so many bullshit stories, and told
a few too. But a few years of going into jails and state penetenteries,
to talk to drug-addicts about a possible spiritual solution to
the problem of addiction, has givin me the opportunity to experience
what I would call sincerity, or humility. Plunking my ass down
to speak to a group of 300 convicts, all dressed in numbered
jonnies can be quite a soul stirring experience; and if your
not sincere, they know it, and you can see it in their eyes,
and on their faces.
A while back I picked up on Peter stating that he uses empathy
in his historical research and posted this to open-waldorf:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter:
Good historiography requires the capacity for empathy and putting
oneself inside the mental world of one's subject,"
Mike:
Empathy - 1 : the imaginative
projection of a subjective state into an object so that the object
appears to be infused with it.
This sounds to me more like
the kind of empathy that you are talking about in your articles
on Steiner's Racism, your own "imaginative projection"
of your own "subjective state". If you don't think
so, please elucidate.
Empathy - 2 : the action of
understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously
experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another
of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts,
and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit
manner;
I'm sorry, but I don't see
in your writings this kind of empathy toward RS. You state that
"putting oneself inside the mental world of one's subject"
is a requirement for such empathy. That seems like only part
of the picture to me (thoughts). I can't help but wonder if you
have ever vicariously experienced what Steiner might have been
feeling on occasion, say like during the talk he once gave on
"Love, and it's meaning in the world".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of course, it seems somewhat oxymoronical
to argue as to weather or not someone truly expresses empathy
. Kind of like desiring serenity I guess.
And hey, I love to play mind games too, sometimes - it's kinda
like intellectual masturbation. And you know what I found? That
if I do it to much, I'll go blind.
All the best
Mike

I started reading about Peter after he first

only this year I was able to satify myself that I was being fair

He finally confirmed this for me when I quoted
directly from Maxist philosophy and he responsed "That sounds

Paulina, sorry if I sound impatient, but what
do you think people are supposed to do to be "upfront"
on a particular mailing list? Stating all one's political affiliations
and opinions is not required before joining the discussion on
the WC list. Politics are sometimes discussed when relevant to
the topic. Excuse me for finding all this supposed mystery silly,
but Peter's politics are, um, hard to miss. If in doubt a few
mouse clicks will take you to some of his writings and asking
him questions seems to work pretty well too. Why did you spend
2 years wondering about the scary "C" word – asking
him cleared it up in about 5 minutes, didn't it? He tolerates
a lot of crap and remains polite. (Which I suppose is very suspicious
behavior, given the culture of this list.)
Anyone found his "varietism" article
yet? :)
There is no way to satisfy most people here
out for a pound of flesh of Peter Staudenmaier, or for that matter
anyone, since people aren't treated as people, but as reincarnations
of various other people, or pawns in weird occult plots, which
is ultimately a way to dismiss them spiritually. You all know
the explanation for everything that's ever happened in Western
civilization anyway, right? Can't Bradford just go into a trance
and divine who Peter was in all his former incarnations?
Sorry for the rant, Paulina, I don't really
mean you; you and a few others are unfailingly polite and generally
sensible but that certainly isn't the case with some people here.

much much deeper, namely: The Jewish Mystery.
On the contrary, that is very much how I think Steiner viewed
the "Jewish question". In fact the most thorough explication
of Steiner's views on this topic is Ludwig Thieben's book The
Mystery of Jewry.
By the term "Hebrews" I mean
the Jews of Biblical times, not of modern times
Yes, that's why I have little to say about your posts on that

or wrote about this "Jewish question", but you would
never consider that to Steiner, this topic may not just have
been what is contained in the expression "the Jewish question",
but something much much deeper, namely: The Jewish Mystery.
Peter S:
On the contrary, that is very much how
I think Steiner viewed the "Jewish question". In fact
the most thorough explication of Steiner's views on this topic
is Ludwig Thieben's book The Mystery of Jewry.
Tarjei:
http://www.perseus.ch/MF_E_AboutUs.htm
Quote:
"Several Perseus publications
have given rise to controversial debate by the public in general
as well as among anthroposophically oriented readers. For example,
when we published the book Das Rätsel des Judentums (The
Enigma of the Jewish People) by Ludwig Thieben, an anthroposophist
of Jewish descent, the absurd charge was levelled at us that
we were anti-Semitically oriented. This superficial accusation
could not only be unmasked by anyone with ordinary common sense;
its emptiness was also confirmed by the result of an investigation
by the Basle Attorney General . (In the meantime, the book has
been sold out)."
Tarjei:
I assume that you agree wholeheartedly with
those who stood behind the absurd charge in question here. If
that is the case, it is obvious that you not only seem to have
an obsession with stapling anthroposophists as anti-Semite, but
that you have stretched the very definition of "anti-Semitism"
far beyond the limits of common sense and common usage.

Paulina, sorry if I sound impatient, but
what do you think people are supposed to do to be "upfront"
on a particular mailing list? Stating all one's political affiliations
and opinions is not required before joining the discussion on
the WC list. Politics are sometimes discussed when relevant to
the topic. Excuse me for finding all this supposed mystery silly,
but Peter's politics are, um, hard to miss. If in doubt a few
mouse clicks will take you to some of his writings and asking
him questions seems to work pretty well too. Why did you spend
2 years wondering about the scary "C" word – asking
him cleared it up in about 5 minutes, didn't it? He tolerates
a lot of crap and remains polite. (Which I suppose is very suspicious
behavior, given the culture of this list.)
Diana,
You do sound impatient, but, not my problem.
I'm only responsible for controlling my own impatience.
If you believe that PS has been up front about
his communist ideology since first coming on to WC, perhaps you
will be good enough to show where you find this indicated in
any of his WC post?
As for why it took me two years before labeling
him a communist?
The answer is that I did not want to fall
into the same catagory of Peter and others at WC who slander
and smear by careless association and manipuation of distorted
facts. I consider to call someone a communist to be a really
serious matter. I wanted to be very certain I was not looking
and seeing something that was not really there.
Anyone found his "varietism"
article yet? :)
There is no way to satisfy most people
here out for a pound of flesh of Peter Staudenmaier, or for that
matter anyone, since people aren't treated as people, but as
reincarnations of various other people, or pawns in weird occult
plots, which is ultimately a way to dismiss them spiritually.
You all know the explanation for everything that's ever happened
in Western civilization anyway, right? Can't Bradford just go
into a trance and divine who Peter was in all his former incarnations?
Diana, I believe the problem with the failed
correspondences here and elsewhere has to do with what another
posted said on another list, as being a problem without resolution,
arising from different paradigms: "When even the basic concepts
used in a discussion can mean different things, it is hard to
come to some reasonable conclusion".
Additionally, thre are psychological issues on the part of ex-WE
parents at WC. It is not easy when feeling one has been deceived
or had a child hurt to continue to remain objective about a world
philosophical view one feels to be the reason for the deception
and or harm experienced. I am very sympathetic to what you and
others have expereinced of an unhappy nature via Waldorf, and
although firmly committed to an Anthro-paradigm, will not defend
what is not defensible. I personally feel that Steiner would
be incredibly disappointed with much that has been etched into
stone in Waldorf (and misunderstood) causing so many of the problems.
But, I won't discuss spiritual realities with a communist, and
to misrepresent oneself as being interested in Waldorf rather
than being up front about their ideological agenda is something
with which am totally unsympathetic. I was actually having what
I thought was a very positive exchange with Dan on the issues
of the Nazis and Aryan racial views until Peter showed up. I
do, indeed believe that people should be up front and forthcoming,
and the games played by Peter S. about Steiner, Aryan supremacy,
racism and anti-Semitism to be dishonest and based on untruthfullness.
As for being in a group who thinks that we
"know everything that happened in Western civilization",
I'm unsure what you mean? My own life journey has been one of
questioning and doubt. In Steiner's worldview I have found the
most satisfactory answers for myself and answers that have stayed
me through some very very difficult, even tragic life expriences.
Even so, I continue to question everything and strive to stay
firmly planted on terra firma.
I cannot speak for Bradford or his trances.
:-),
I do not find myself in agreement with many
of the things said by others on a number of topics and threads.
I'm on my own journey and can not be held accountable for what
others say, nor is it fair or reasonable to try and attatch by
way of association what I might believe from what others post
here.
Kind regards, as always,
Paulina

It's the one I focus on. Is there something that puzzles you
about that?
What I'm getting at is that is seems as if your obsession
with racism, anti-Semitism, and Nazism and your tireless endeavor
to smear anthroposophy with it may have a deeper cause, namely
that the anthroposophical epistemology and world conception is
offensive to dialectical materialists.
That doesn't make sense. I'm not a dialectical materialist, and
the parts of the anthroposophical world conception that are "offensive"
to me are precisely those parts that I focus on here. I have
lots of critical things to say about anthroposophical epistemology
(which, by the way, has some significant dialectical elements),
but I don't think they have anything to do with Steiner's racial
or ethnic doctrines, thus I haven't addressed them here.
If you have expressed an interest in those
topics, I must have missed the relevant posts.
Joel and I have discussed Steiner's epistemology at some length
on the waldorf critics list.
So why are you on this list? Is it to see how many racists,
self-proclaimed or not, you can find here?
No, I think a couple of you do a fine job of that yourselves,

Steiner's teachings about Jews, as well as his teachings about
race, if we get around to those.
I assume that you agree wholeheartedly

No, I don't think it makes sense to claim that the publisher
is antisemitic (though I do think that a number of Thomas Meyer's
expressed views on Jews are moronic) simply for printing the
book. But Thieben's book itself is antisemitic. If you think
otherwise, let's discuss it.

You wrote:

that puzzles you about that?
Tarjei:
Yes. What puzzles me is that your apparent
extensive study of Steiner's works through a number of years
has kept you spellbound on one topic only that you abuse in order
to misrepresent Anthroposophy and its founder. I am not less
puzzled when you subscribe to an anthroposophical email list
where all kinds of anthroposophically related topics are discussed,
only to insist upon this obsession of yours that is not even
a part of Anthroposophy.
Peter S:
I have lots of critical things to say about
anthroposophical epistemology (which, by the way, has some significant
dialectical elements), but I don't think they have anything to
do with Steiner's racial or ethnic doctrines, thus I haven't
addressed them here.
Tarjei:
But those are the topics most of us here are
interested in. Anthroposophy is a worldview and cosmology, and
it rests upon the epistemology outlined in the PoF. For this
reason, we are interested in Christian theology, Judaism, Islam,
Buddhism, folklore, mythology, atheism, agnosticism, Marxism,
Platonism, the New Age Movement, etc. We are interested in how
various worldviews compare to Anthroposophy, what they have in
common and how they differ. We are curious about how different
members stand in relation to the many spiritual and philosophical
paths and views that are available to us all. But you're not
interested in any of this because you don't think it has anything
to do with "Steiner's racial or ethnic doctrines",
which might have been interesting if they could be discussed
in a normal manner. You discuss this only topic in a manner
that is not normal because your approach is not intellectually
honest, and for this reason, the result is blind alleys and endless
boredom.
Peter S:
Joel and I have discussed Steiner's epistemology
at some length on the waldorf critics list.

I wish he was back. He bores me too, but you

Interesting. Who among us have done such a
fine job of proclaiming ourselves as racists? If you have some
quotes to illustrate your point, feel free to share them with
us and explain why they represent racism.
Peter S:
I'm here to discuss Steiner's teachings
about Jews, as well as his teachings about race, if we get around
to those.
Tarjei:
We haven't gotten around to it? I believe
I've contributed my ample 2c about RS and the Jews.

Tarjei:
I have not read that book, but i find it curious
that you label a Jewish Anthroposophist an anti-Semite, especially
when the allegation looks spurious. From the looks of it, the

just the publisher.

Bradford;
Now that was warm, funny, lovely and a good
gottcha! It is the wide span of being human that gives everything
back to the heart. By the way, I still admire Philospophical
Drag Queens who dress up and speak like 19th century Victorians
and make coquettish little squeals of pleasure when they think
they are getting deep.
My complaint is you have little understanding
of how wonderfully deep and profound the heart of the world and
the reality of the I AM is. Massive vaults, full of humor, joy,
humanity, compassion, but of course there is the "narrow
room".. a broom closet where witches party. They sometimes
are afraid to come out into the Great Hall of human spiritual
history and take in the view, enjoy the company. Rather they
form little clubs in the janitors closet, and whine that nothing
is every cleaned up and how little respect anyone gives the clean
up crew.
Most of us are in jeans and would rather be
mopping floors than sniping at bluejays and cats. Bluejays and
Cats have always done what they do. They fundamentally disagree.
We call this air patrol with their feathery Prussian helmets
the sky police...and those snarling little misfits with whiskers,
