BdNow'ers, <<< In reply to L. Charles's past message about Chapter X. >>>
I'm re-sending this post because it is possible that the last time it got <<cut>> from the thread. This time I'm sending the 'smallest entity' format. Chapter X THE CALCIUM PROCESS IN NATURE I like the concept of going back in earth's geohistories for gaining a deeper understanding of minerals and how they interact with life organisms. Kolisko plunges all the way back to the "archaic" ; a geological term where old layers are void of any fossils. His statement that the whole of earthly matter was living substance, reminds me of the Gaia hypothesis; that earth is a living organism. The slight difference being that back then it was in a liquid state. We can go even further back into time! Anthroposophy teaches us that in ancient times the sun, earth, and the moon were united into one single cosmic body. The moon being inside the earth, and earth being inside the sun. At the time earth's atmosphere contained prussic acid and carbonic acid. What's also interesting is that humans lived there, not corporeally, rather as spirits. When the earth separated from the sun we received nitrogen from prussic acid, and oxygen from carbonic acid. This is way nitrogen is a sun element, and oxygen belongs to the moon. As for the origin of carbon, it also comes from the sun and moon. She left us coal inside the soil (formed from carbonic acid) and carbon in the exterior, and he left us small quantities of carbon that lives in plants. Calcium was excreted from the sun and gave us lime. Kolisko also mentions that: "... If we want to understand calcium as a substance,then we must observe, for instance, how it slowly crystallizes out of the water...". My feeling is that we should perhaps try this experiment in January and February, when earth's crystallization forces are in full effect. I agree with the statement that: "... We must grasp the whole process: the silica-process, the calcium-process, the sulphur-process, the nitrogen-process, etc.; a "process" embraces much more than substance alone.". For me, this is the essence of Anthroposophy, BD farming, and gaining spiritual knowledge. Your turn, Robin
