To whom it may be of a concern

I ve
found Lievegood and Glen Atkinson s concepts of primary and secondary processes
helpful, but still find it hard to sort out what s happening.
The primary cosmic silica forces from the outer planets work down into plants (enhanced by 501?) and into the soil, are held by silicate rocks in the earth, then clay facilitates their uptake into the plant by the Secondary Si process, giving form and pulling the plant upwards how? through activating auxins ?
With regards the above there is a bit of a
confusion of words going on here. Your use of the words 'primary and secondary
silica forces' are being used in a different manner to how I and I believe
Lievegeod has presented them.
Your use of the names cosmic and earthly and
primary and secondary are as one would expect them to be from the apparant
experience of nature, however if we look at Lievegeod he gives indications
which suggest we need to look further. One would expect Cosmic Silica
to be coming in the atmosphere and Earthly Si from the Earth however does
primary translate into Earthly and does secondary translate into
Cosmic.
All the words used in this discussion are most
confusing and I find it better to draw pictures, than try and describe it all,
and so hence my books at my website. Please refer to the chapter " Biodynamic
Plant Growth" http://rimu.orcon.net.nz/garuda/books/index.html .
In Biodynamics Decoded.
One of the primary issues I see is happening in
Hughs combining of his perceptions and mine can be resolved once we see in the
chapter I have outlined the way the forces work at the different layers of
manifestations spiral. To observe plant growth as RS describes I have found it
necessary to clearly differentiate teh activites of each level , 2 fold, 3 fold,
4 fold etc.
Hugh talks a lot about how the forces work at level
2 and level 3, however from there he is becoming confused.
In the book I have described how we have to sets of
polarities. What I call a macro polarity which lives in the World bodies of
creation and then a micro polarity which mainifests as the way the forces work
internally in lifeforms.
Level 2 - which exists externally to our human
forms.ie we are not androgonous or bisexual we are monsexual and we need an
external partner to mate with to produce life. Once we internalise the level 2
of polarity fully we will be androgonous hermaphidites. The point is at this
level we have the Cosmic pole in polarity to the Earthly pole.
in this instance I see the Cosmic as the male Si
stream up the spiral via the nerve sense system , the elements of light and
warmth adn the outer planets, while the Earthly is the female Calcium stream
through the mode (3) of metabolism, elements of Water and Earth and the
inner planets. see the chart http://rimu.orcon.net.nz/garuda/BDDecoded2.gif
So at level 2 we have a Cosmic and Earthly.
These should that not be mixed up with the use of
Cosmic and Earthly later on up the spiral.
Hugh talks alot about level 3 in his descriptions
of 500 501 and horn clay. He also describes level 4s interaction in this process
as well, however some confusion appears, be it only in the use of the words
possibly. We are saying essentially the same thing, although Hugh so
eloquantly adds the details. Once we come to level 4 and 7 - via Lievegeod we
come into a much more complex picture where we again meet the words Cosmic,
Earthly, Primary, secondary, Matter, & Forces and Calcium &
Silica.
Best read what I have written under the 7 fold
section. I first give Lievegeods diagram of primary and secondary
processes, ala Goethe. In his book he outlines how the primary / cosmic/
Being and secondary/Earthly/ Manifest processes work in plant growth.
The primary are the building up forces while the
Secondary Earthly forces are those we see manifesting in plant growth.
These are outlined under Lievegeods chart. We can see from this that the last
stage of seeding occurs in the Saturn 2 process.
To get to what RS is talking about in the
agriculture course we have to take a step through dimensions to come to what he
says in lectures 2, 6 & 8 in the way he outlines the planets
activity.
We need to take the archtypal picture of how the
planets externally influence manifestion and take them one step further towards
matter to the laws standing closer to yet behind matter. This is achieved by
twisting a lemniscate turn into Lievegeods diagram ( see http://rimu.orcon.net.nz/garuda/books/index.html
Equinoctial and Seasonal Zodiacs) The 'being" pole of
Lievegeods diagram spins over. At this point we have what RS describes in
Lecture 2 and Lecture 6 . In lecture 8 he provides the links for placing the 4
fold activities we have active in lec 2 & 6.
This lemniscating process RS uses can be found in
his work on the 12 senses.
Wild stuff I know
Lievegeod describes the archetype, RS , in
agriculture, describes the layer behind matter and a further spin of the
planetary diagram and it will describe a significant patterning for
organising more physical matter. Thus we have these three layers of
activity to be aware off.
Same planets , same processes just in a different
relationship to one another, due to WHAT is being described. This is a basic
phenomena of the Biodynamic / Astrological spiral as we move around
the layers, the relationships change. Sh�s a wild and movable ride this
cosmic science stuff.
The long and the short of it is, this is where Hugh
and I converge and the misunderstanding shown between Hugh and Gill occurs.
I call the Silica process active in the atmosphere
and moving towards the Earth ( at 4 fold and 7 fold), the Earthly
Forces in lec 8 speak. These relate to the physical forces of ripening
light and warmth, active in nature, in this present season. These are the
Si forces active in the metabolic sphere of the plant - lec 8. They exist
above the earth and work in with the Cosmic Calcium, active as homeopathic
calcium in the atmospheres moisture- to make the metabolic area of the
plant. If these Si forces are weak, then no ripening or seed set or
photsynthesis, will occur. The above does not meet what is the thrust
upwards from below, carried by the Cosmic as in primary / lievegeod outer
1, forces which have been embedded in the Earth pole, in the same way they
are held in the maintanence of our brains. These are the Cosmic forces RS speaks
of in lec 8. in the head nerve sense sphere and thus the Earth. This
is where the archetype is condenseded in the seed, by the inward moving Earthly
Si forces of the season, from the Summer to mid winter just passed. Mid
winter is the beginning of the new cycle not half way through. A season is
not complete till the following mid winter. This new archetypal impulse (Saturn
1) to fulfil its purpose, of next the seed (Saturn 2),
works upward in the spring, thrusting outwards to be met by the light and warmth
of that season. If it is not there the plants may not even flower, especially
cuccurbits. They will just grow leaves. The upward saturn 1 cosmic silica
/forces are not met by the secondary earthly Saturn 2 forces and seed can not be
set or ripened.
Similarly the Saturn 1 cosmic si force must be
upward moving strongly via clay. If it does not then fruit will set, due to good
Earthly Si outer planets 2 forces, but will not fill out to their possible
size. We need both to be working well.
I must say I suspect 501 works to strengthen the
Earthly Si 2 / atmospheric processes hence the ripening and shrinking as it
pushes inwards so strongly, which leaves other siicates and definitely
clay to fuel the outward Si. Hence Quartz and Clay I see as a possible
key polarity. There is no doubt Quartz can also form good tap roots as our
trials have shown see Gill Coles report ( in case studies) which shows quartz
crystal is probably the closest element to being a base carrier of
both processes, however other elements such as clay (1) and energetically
more dense silica sand (2) act as the activiators of the individual processes,
which ride on quartz silica in our environment.
All very confusing I know. Oh to have some months
to teach this stuff, to folks.
So Hugh and I are saying similiar things but mixing
our words up.
The question is what are the silica elements moving
upwards, minerals and so on, these are carried on my Primary Cosmic Silica
stream. What are the elements moving downwards such as sugars these are carried
on the Inward moving secondary Si 2 Earthly forces.
Its all in RS's lemniscate twist. Tricky stuff.
As I say I would love to have the opportunity to
teach this in a proper course format.
My experiments as much as my theorising have
led me to this conclusion. To date it is producing wonders. Yet I appreciate I
may have it all wrong and some day may see it differently. Such is life.
