Thanks, Steve, for answering my query. I thought maybe there was a Tanis Helliwell connection in what you wrote below about Van Gogh. I'd heard that this book refers to Steiner. However, having just read Helliwell's "Summer with the Leprecauns" (passage where leprecaun meets Steiner is on pp. 82-87), I feel that the phrase "as per Steiner's instructions" you use below must be qualified.
The leprecaun tells Helliwell that he'd met a human in his realm who'd told him "I've been talking with your elder scholars about getting together a group of elementals from all castes to work with humans. We are looking for ones who think for themselves and have curiosity and courage. Interested?" At the end of the passage and chapter, the author calls to the leprecaun as he is disappearing in that scene "Who was the human you met almost a hundred years ago?"--"Steiner. Rudolph Steiner," came the faint echo. That is the only reference to Steiner in the book. The Steiner-character gives no "instructions" to the elemental Kingdom in the book, as might be construed from the remarks below. You do preface your remark saying "Heliwell, who claims to have communion with the elemental kingdom..." She has elementals working as humans (eg Van Gogh) and humans working with elementals (eg herself). I get the inkling she may have heard of "Rudolph" via Jean Houston's work (she is one of the people acknowledged as having helped bring the book to fruition, but I am unfamiliar with any particulars of Houston's work myself) or some other secondary source. The leprecaun told Helliwell about Van Gogh. The leprecaun also takes Philippine psychic surgeons at face value (p.45). Certainly we work with "the elementals." Indeed, Hugh Courtney's theme in this weekend's Biodynamic Conference was our aiding the awareness of the Christ in the realms of subnature through the use of the preps. Not to put you on the defensive, Steve, but for the sake of clarity, I just want to be sure that all understand that the above, and what is referred to below, comes strictly from Helliwell, not Steiner. _______________________________________________________________________ Barry Lia \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ Seattle WA On Tue, 12 Nov 2002 22:15:30 EST [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > << face in the Sun.
