Unable to attend the Future of the Preparations workshop I am sending this
along as a contribution to the meeting in Copake NY as to the biodynamic
remedy making in Eastern Long Island...sstorch

I have come to realize the role that the biodynamic remedies play in our
lives and existence. Before elements or substance may manifest in a physical
expression they must first be realized in a spiritual plane. Only after this
realization occurs may it begin to fulfill its potential. In this spiritual
plane exists the blueprint for substance, the possibility for base elements
to be raised up into highly organized matter. The biodynamic remedies
provide a refined substance and the pattern energy for the spirit to work
with within the physical and spiritual realms. [inspired by sharon ingersoll,
em working group]
Human participation in the raising of livestock and the eventual harvest
and gathering of the sheath material from this livestock raises the substance
to a higher spiritual and physical plane, a higher vibrational energy. Human
cultivation of the preparation plants treated with the biodynamic remedies
compounds this synergy, again raising physical substance to a higher
vibrational realm. The removal of the stag’s bladder reminds me of Arthur’s
extraction of the sword from the stone making us not king’s; but
farmer-priests in service of the Earth Mother. When we stir the water and
create the vortex, the eternally creative intelligence of the Universe is
imprinted into the ever malleable substance of water along with all of our
love, divinity and human striving. The suctional energy of the vortex
pulling in, pulling down the information of the moment streaming in from the
universe, the home of the Logos. And the biodynamic remedies, becoming one
with the water and the cosmic information coming down into the earthly realm.
So the biodynamic remedies call forth this spiritual information from the
cosmos and bring down to earth a new substance expressed in the form of grass
or our foodstuffs and livestock. Eventually this reaches into earth’s
humanity, for those who consciously choose to participate and live in this
process.
Over the thirteen years I have studied and worked with the biodynamic
methods I have come to understand that it is a multifaceted discipline.
There are things other great minds have said that ring true and help bring me
to a deeper understanding of the potential that we call biodynamics. Wilhelm
Reich, a researcher whose work describes orgone energy, bions and how humans
and earth are effected by this pattern energy. My investigations under the
microscope show an incredible expression of the bion energy in the biodynamic
remedies and compost teas made with them. Bluish, vibrating bacterium in the
teas exhibit the phenomenon. Blue particles of silica in earthworm castings
bring it forth in another realm.
Incorporatiing the theories of Viktor Schauberger into making earth
healing fructigenic fertilizers with biodynamic remedies have brought
astounding and dramatic results. For two years I have made horn manure and
put the horns into an egg shaped urn buried in the earth to its rim back
filled with barrel compost. The resulting humus substance is just like
bd500, but used at the rate of one teaspoon per acre. Last year I had the
opportunity to initiate the healing of twenty five acres of land in
Southampton on Head of Pond Road just west of the intersection on Scuttlehole
Road. It was chemically farmed since the war years without rest and what we
would call care. It was not properly limed, rested or subsoiled because it
was rented land and the potato farmer did not care. A horse barn was raised
and a pasture planted. Late in the Spring of 2002 I did one spray of this
“new” horn manure with equisetum, barrel compost and Agnihotra Ash. The
pasture grew beautifully all summer with no irrigation and no rain. The
roots quickened in the earth as if under bd care for three to five years.
The urn acts as an amplifier and increases the effectiveness of the cowhorn
vessel. The visual and physical evidence cannot be denied. This method
merits further attention. Horn silica was also made this way. Similarly
astounding results were noted on brassicas, strawberries and raspberries.
We are also making yarrow, chamomile, nettles, and dandelion
preparations. We will be creating an artificial “creek” for making oak bark
and have several valerian plants to grow and propigate this spring. The vi
neyard where I consult in Mattituck, Long Island keeps a herd of Texas
Longhorn cattle. Here we harvest sheathe material several times a year,
really more than we can use. Last summer the dandelion was collected dried
and made into a beautiful pillow and hung in the summer sun before Fall
burial. This will be exhumed in the Spring and results of its quality and
use carefully observed. This fall we will make every effort to make the Hugo
Erbe clay preparation. It is a prepared clay in the esophagus of the cow.
For me biodynamics has been a wonderful evolution. As I have worked with
these earth healing remedies I have had powerful intuitions too do many
different and new tasks. Our spirit friends on the other side of the
threshold watch our striving and work and want to give us help which we can
take or dismiss. I choose to listen to the voices and go the extra mile with
these efforts. We are now faced with grim choices and we are being swept
along by spiritual powers not known to the average person. “As above, so it
is below”. It seems it was only yesterday when Hugh Williams and I would
dialogue about the real reason for the use of genetically prostituted seed [I
refuse to call it engineered]. Now here it is, released in the evironment
threatening the integrity of an already precarious food supply and an already
ailing Earth. So, we are faced with large, soul sized affairs, we cannot
waiver in our efforts or dedication, so, press on.

Press On
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not;
nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is
full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are alone all
powerful.
