Allan, could you please forward this to bdnow. Thanks.
Dear Fellow Listers,
Some of you may have wondered what happened to me. Well, I can only
say there were medical problems. I almost died. Much to the chagrin
of the BDA, Demeter and JPI, I survived. Tough luck, fellas.
CAUTION: This is a long email and I am going to speak in absolutes.
(This always scares the bejezzus out of liberals.) If the thought of
facing the Truth offends you or scares you, go directly to the next
email. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
Someone on the list mentioned that he had not seen much criticism of
the "powers that be". Let me correct that. It's part of my charm.
From what I read, the list is getting a little stale. It's time to
spice it up with some provocative comments and incisive wit (or
half-wit which may be all I have left).
There are quite a few ideas and themes going on on BDNOW lately that
I would like to add my 10 cents worth to but I won't. I'll just pick
a few.
Since last year, on my end, much has been accomplished. We have
taken Steiner's agriculture to new heights that no one ever dreamed
were possible.
For example, using Steiner's and Burbank/Carver's ideas and
remedies, I now have -
" 3 years of experience with our Agri-Synthesis� homeopathic Field
Sprays which show them through laboratory analysis, field trials and
anecdotally to be far, far superior to the use of Horn Manure and
Horn Silica on the farm and garden
" Our remedies are made in a base of purified mountain spring water,
have at least a 7 year shelf life, work instantly (lab tests prove),
are cheap to buy and cheaper to use and the ingredients are at a
concentration of less than one part per billion - although we don't
reveal the potency level since we spent over $700,000 and 10 years
making and proving them
" We've learned that if for some reason our remedies are degraded,
say, by going through an x-ray machine at the airport, adding one
drop of refresher liquid to the bottle completely restores their
potency 100%
" Working with Michael Topolos, we reduced the cost of producing
gold medal quality Sonoma County winegrapes (90 points and above) to
$500 per acre per year. Compare that to the average cost of between
$1500 and $3000 per acre per year
" Reduced the application of sulfur to control powdery mildew by 80%
to only 2 times a year
" Found the cure for Pierce's Disease and Types 1, 2 & 3 virus in grapevines
" Found that our sprays control fungus better than any other product
on the market - without the use of poisons or chemicals
" Discovered through laboratory tests that the application of our
remedies directly to seeds causes them to germinate faster and
increases germination rates
" Found that these remedies can produce the finest Skin Care
products in the world, with potential far beyond even what I
imagined, and I've got a pretty good imagination
and
" Found that we have been able to cure people of all sorts of skin
problems including foot fungi, diabetic induced numbness in feet and
toes, help burns, cuts, bruises and surgical and dental incisions
heal up to 50% faster - not to mention they make your skin softer
and on some bald people, regrow their hair
These are just a few of the discoveries and advances I have made. I
have been working on my book on viticulture and have almost,
finally, completed it. I will offer some of my ideas to bdnow in the
future.
After several furtive but failed starts, we have finally started to
sell our Skin Care products through a Network Marketing program of
our own. (If you want information, please email me directly.) We
have hundreds of customers who swear by (not at) our sprays. We have
a long list of remarkable stories of "impossible" healing that took
place, some when all conventional medicine failed.
Our Skin Care Sprays offer much hope for many people, most
especially diabetics and burn patients.
Another Subject: Re: the "illegal" making and use of the "BD Preps"
and the possible demise of Demeter in Europe, all I can add to this
is that it's Karma. The taking of the trademark by Demeter USA,
backed and apparently financed by Dornach, was, in my view, the
ultimate insult that brought them down.
Demeter USA has never achieved much success in the marketplace and
by attempting to keep all the rights to themselves, set themselves
up for failure, which has hard Karmic implications for Demeter
everywhere. Well, actually, "much success" overstates this
dramatically. They failed miserably. If they were a real business,
they'd be out of business. (Are they still fraudulently claiming to
be "nonprofit" even though they're not?)
It also has hard Karma repercussions for anyone certified by
Demeter. You certifiees, my dear friends, now must suffer from
Demeter's Karma.
I can think of one winery Demeter Certified that has had every
worsening, ever lower quality wines coming out of their place. I
know of another Dry Creek Demeter Certified winery that's losing so
much money they had to sell off some of their vineyards to say
afloat. There's a lesson to be learned here but I expect those
Demeter Certified farms and vineyards (Demeter doesn't certify wine)
will have to learn it the hard way. (See below about the trademark.)
As I said years ago, "Biodynamics is dead". The same can now be said
of Demeter itself. Sad really, since in the beginning, they offered
such great hope. They were taken over by greed, ignorance, sloth,
stupidity and arrogance.
A couple weeks ago, there was an "organic" and "Demeter Certified
Biodynamic" wine marketing and sales promotion in Santa Monica,
California called the EcoWineFest. At the show, which was extremely
poorly attended, (they must have lost a bundle) "Biodynamic" wine
was marketed and sold.
The patent and trademark laws in the U.S. are very specific about
registered trademarks. The government only confers the right to
protect your mark when it becomes registered. It memorializes and
sets a legal precedent for your first and exclusive use. It confers
nothing else. The Registrant is then obligated to defend his rights
at his own expense. In order to sustain your rights, the courts, in
order for them to rule in your favor to sustain your rights, assign
blame and set harm, require that the Registrant be vigilant and
actively seek out and prosecute all infringers of their rights. The
government does not do this for you. That's what Walt Disney, Inc.
did with Mickey Mouse a few years ago, which pissed off a lot of
people. They had to go after everybody who used Mickey's name, face,
ears and everything else that was the intellectual property of
Disney. They understood that the failure to let even one poor slob
get away with using the mark without Disney's permission would cause
all the others to file counter suits for false prosecution and
infringement of their trade rights. It's called "restraint of trade".
In the past three years, after an initial blitzkrieg of activity,
Demeter has not defended their rights. I have been keeping a file of
evidence on this. There are people today actively using the term
"Certified Biodynamic" whom they ignore. Mountains of articles in
newspapers and magazines show that the media ignores their rights
with impunity. A Lexus/Nexus search turns up literally hundreds of
uses of the term "biodynamic" without the circle "R" next to it over
the past three years, an infringement of their rights.
Check with any patent attorney and you will find that when some
person or a company registers their mark in your country, it is
considered an infringement on that mark for anyone else to sell a
product with the same, or sometimes, similar name in your country.
There are international conventions and treaties everywhere (except
China) regarding this rule.
For example, Paul Hawkin of Smith and Hawken fame imported "Bulldog"
tools under his personal trade name because "Bulldog" was taken by
another company and the Bulldog Tool Company in England was
prohibited by them from selling their tools here - even though the
company that owned the mark didn't make gardening tools. I believe
it was in the well drilling business. Doesn't matter. It's still an
infringement of their rights and they defended them.
At the EcoWineFest, some people from France and I believe, Italy
sold "Demeter Certified Wine" to the public in California. Demeter
failed to defend their rights at the EcoWineFest. Heck, even the
promoter of the show failed to identify the mark in their
promotional material on the web.
In short, as of two weeks ago, The Demeter Association, Inc., U.S.A.
finally lost forever its rights to the mark. Demeter has no defense.
They blew it. They have no recourse. They can't close the door after
the horse is gone.
As of today, everyone who wants to use the term "biodynamic" or
"certified biodynamic" in the U.S.A. is now free to do so without
fear of successful prosecution from Demeter or anyone else. You see,
if they tried to sue one person, they have to sue everyone. There
are, as I said, literally hundreds of people they'd have to sue. And
some of these big boys have lots of dough and a really baaaad
attitude. Demeter would be really well advised not to take on all
the magazines and newspapers who have used their mark freely. The
publicity would be really bad for them, let alone the cost of
lawyers in literally every state in the country. To attempt to
defend it now would bankrupt Demeter. They're already morally
bankrupt. They need to just lick their wounds, forget about it and
try to do something useful with their lives - if they can. Well,
their mark was shaky to begin with. It wouldn't have held up against
any legal challenge.
For three years, Demeter failed to defend its rights and so, has
lost them forever.
It's over. They lost their mark. The EcoWineFest was the last straw.
Other companies came into this country and sold "Demeter Certified
Wine".
The loss was inevitable. Demeter neither had the financial or
intellectual resources, nor the conviction, to track down each and
every single use and user of the word "biodynamic" in this country.
Just look in any copy of Acres U.S.A. if you don't believe me.
Furthermore, their actions were based on greed, guile and fraud,
each of which has its own reward.
(I won't go into the fraud part. Look it up in the archives.)
That ends that sad saga. So long, Demeter. Hello "biodynamic". You
lost. It's over.
Now personally, I refrain from using the term "biodynamic" since in
this country, at least, it has such a terrible reputation. I don't
want to be associated with it. I doubt that this event is going to
inspire me to use it again as I find Demeter, the BDA and JPI
repugnant in what they attempted to do to stifle the growth of
Steiner's ideas. I prefer my own term "Agri-Synthesis�" which is MY
registered trademark.
Of course, I could always go back to "Agri-Synthesis� Certified
Biodynamic". Well, we'll see.
Part of the problem, as Glen, Peter and others have pointed out
again and again, is that the DEFINITION of the term "biodynamic" has
become stuck in the past. Evolution is a force that even Demeter has
to deal with. The people who actively practice the art, have, by and
large, moved on beyond what the official definition of the term is.
The BDA, JPI and Demeter - worldwide - have become an anachronism,
lost to another century, impotent and incompetent in the new world.
This is not just bluster. This is the Truth. Look no further than
the homeopathic remedies that Glen, Peter and I have been
developing. They work better, quicker and last longer than stirred
raw preparations. They are safer and more convenient. They have much
greater flexibility than the raw preps. They probably would even
pass muster in the EU.
Stirring preps for one hour is so 19th Century. Anyone who does it
may as well be driving a horse and buggy to work. Stirring the raw
preps is like living in the Dark Ages. Remember, Steiner called it
"Peasant Wisdom". Seen any peasants lately? No? Huh.
For crying out loud. We're firmly in the 21st Century now. There are
huge advancements in science at all levels! Pollution free cars.
Genetic cures for diseases. Computers that operate at blistering
speed. SPACE TRAVEL. The Hubble Telescope showing that the Universe
is expanding at an increasing rate, not a decreasing rate. Quantum
physics discoveries that boggle the mind. New aircraft that can fly
at 4,000 MPH. A gun that can shoot one million rounds a minute! I
could go on and on.
The BDA's everywhere, Demeter' everywhere and JPI are still living
in the 19th Century. What's the new slogan for the BDA's "journal"?
"Farming And Gardening For The 21st Century". What a load of manure!
(Oops. I defiled manure. Should have said "crap".) They haven't made
it to the 20th Century yet. It's just wishful thinking and the
typical con game we've come to love and adore.
The U.S. BDA is, I estimate, now worth over $1,000,000 yet what have
they done to support real research with Steiner's ideas? Nothing.
But, Chuck Beedy and the rest all have jobs, which seems to me to be
their "Job #1", as well as a heavy BDA paid travel schedule to
Europe. Got to keep up appearances and make those contacts with
Dornach. Maybe not, but that's my impression.
(Got to tell this one. One guy got appointed to the BDA board a few
years ago. He said now he can return to Germany and have the BDA pay
for it. Not a bad gig if you can get it. But does it bring Steiner's
ideas to the world of agriculture? Does his trips home increase the
number of farmers using Steiner's ideas?)
Regardless, what biodynamics needs more than anything else is a
Reformation on the order of what happened to the Catholic Church.
At the time of the Reformation in Europe, Catholic priests taught
their parishioners that only a priest was capable of interpreting
the "Word of God". Sound familiar? The priests of biodynamics (their
word, not mind - thank you Mr. Lorand who told me so) told the the
rest of us that THEY were the only ones capable of interpreting what
Steiner said. And by extension, only the ones THEY anointed (and
still do as "biodynamic experts") were and are capable of
interpreting Steiner's Word.
What a bunch of hogwash. In the first place, they don't understand
Steiner's words, ideas, principles, concepts or anything else in the
least. What they understand is that if you put part "A" in part "B",
you should get "C". Why? They haven't a clue. But they want YOU to
think they do.
I went to one annual biodynamic conference years ago to be bored to
death by some 'biodynamic expert" telling me how the cow relates to
the ground by moving his or her head side to side and how the horns
related to the cosmos by the way they were formed, etc., etc. etc.
He didn't know what he was talking about and neither did I. This was
my first hint that something was rotten in biodynamics.
I met one of our new "biodynamic experts" recently at an organic
viticulture workshop Michael Topolos and I gave earlier this month.
He never heard of Horn Clay. Can you imagine? And he's employed by
at least two vineyard related companies as their "biodynamic
expert". I hope they don't pay him much.
When I asked him about several underlying principles on which
Steiner's work is based, he had absolutely no idea what I was
talking about. No idea at all. Clueless.
Now this is not to say that other appointed "biodynamic experts"
have this minuscule amount of knowledge. I am only making a point
which is that the public is being sold a bill of goods regarding
biodynamics. It looks to me like only the "experts" who appear to
know nothing get appointed by JPI and the BDA's. Others, like Glen
Atkinson, who knows one hellava lot, don't. And probably don't want
to. It would ruin their reputations.
Here is the crux of the problem. Biodynamic "Priests" and their
anointed "Acolytes" should not be allowed to be the exclusive
interpreters of Steiner's lectures and ideas. We have moved way
beyond that.
In my own search for the Truth, what I do incorporates everything
good Steiner had to offer but the resultant system that I have put
together bears little resemblance to the official version of
"biodynamics". And it's infinitely better.
People are extremely creative. Each person has it within themselves
to understand and interpret truthfully what Steiner said, what he
did, how it works and how it can be developed and advanced.
In the past, the heads of the biodynamic and anthroposophic movement
have crushed dissent. The Koliskos are the poster children for this
form of ignorance. There are a few others whom I will not mention -
you know who they are. It's still going on. Just as bad. Just as
brutal. Just as stupid and short-sighted.
This is behavior typical of venal, corrupt, irrelevant
organizations. It is not the behavior of open, honest, relevant
groups.
I ask you this question. Can Anthroposophy survive a secularized
Europe? No. It can't. Can European "biodynamics" or "Demeter
Certified Biodynamics" survive a secularized EU? They will not. The
forces of ignorance and evil are taking over Europe and they have
infiltrated the anthroposophic and biodynamic movements at every
level.
It is time for good people of good will, who seek Truth above all
else who believe that we are all Children of God and as such, have
access to perfect knowledge and a perfect understanding of Steiner
and all related ideas and fields to come forward. Only then, will
universal progress be made regarding the underlying principles,
concepts and ideas that Rudy tried to convey to the world but whose
message was bastardized and perverted by the self-appointed "elite"
under the guise of "protecting" the knowledge. (See "biodynamic"
trademark on the Demeter website and how they took the mark to
"protect" it from the scoundrels at Monsanto - what a crock! - if
Monsanto wanted to cancel the mark, they could write a check for
$100,000 to a lawyer and the mark would be gone in 30 seconds -
who's kidding whom?).
Each of you, as a Child of God, the highest of all spiritual laws,
has within themselves the ability to understand the bases on which
Steiner, and others, were/are able to make these things work. The
biodynamic priests must be told to step aside and let the natural
evolution of these ideas take place, instead of doing everything
they can to stop them.
(Pat them on the back, give them all gold watches, tell them they
did a great job and we'll miss them in their retirement.)
This force is inevitable, immovable and unassailable. Nether the
BDA, Demeter, JPI nor Dornach can stop it. People yearn to be free
because as souls, we are all given Free Will. It is our God Given
Birthright. Apparently this lesson is lost on Demeter, the BDA, JPI
and Dornach.
Whether or not they like it, the forces of evil are overtaking them
like a wave. Witness how the EU wants to destroy all things
"Demeterish". The Nazis are back in different clothing. And all
Manfred Klett can do is say, "gosh, gee whiz, well, I guess we'll
just have to be illegal, then".
Does this sound like a leader? Does this sound like YOUR leader?
What Herr Klett should be saying is, "Okay folks, this is the new
reality. What can all you creative geniuses out there suggest so
that we can keep this thing going without being illegal? I'm open to
any suggestion."
The European experience is coming our way too, you know. Since the
U.S.D.A. usurped the term "organic", they now define the term in
their own (ignorant) way. Call it whatever you will, but
"biodynamics" in this country, thanks to the BDA, Demeter and JPI,
is nothing more than organic farming with the small addition of
"spray the preps once a year and make some biodynamic compost".
There is absolutely nothing to distinguish it from organic farming,
unless you want to call biodynamics a religion, which some
apparently do. Then it would be protected under our First Amendment.
It's just a matter of time before the U.S.D.A. usurps biodynamic
farming and that too, would be the end of Demeter and their former
mark.
The evil that is taking over the world today, predicted by so many
people for centuries, cannot stand to see a God Centered approach to
anything, let alone farming and gardening. These evil forces, which
as I said, have infiltrated the "official" biodynamic and
anthroposophic organizations on every level, want to destroy this
Earth as a place where souls can come to learn Unconditional Love.
They want the Earth, only they want it for themselves. They will not
succeed, of course, but it will be Hell in the mean time.
What we are experiencing right now is Hell in biodynamics and this
is another reason to have a Reformation in it. We cannot allow the
self-appointed leaders to drag the rest of us, and the world, down
the same drain they're headed for. Their Karma does not have to be
our Karma.
As the saying goes, "the way for evil to thrive is for good men to
do nothing".
I am not making a call to arms. I am only pointing out the obvious.
Around the world, on every level, biodynamics and anthroposophy have
failed to deliver the promise. The fact that perhaps hundreds of
thousands, maybe even millions of people have suffered and died due
to the unavailability of spiritually enriched food is proof that
evil has overtaken the BDA, Demeter, JPI and Dornach.
This is more Karma that our leaders must now suffer. How many
children do you think died today because some Bozo at the BDA or
Demeter, or JPI, kept this knowledge to herself, Anne?
No doubt, this will offend some "true believers". I am sorry to
offend you. The Truth sometimes hurts. I am sure that there are some
hopelessly idealistic people out there who are doing their very best
to make things better. But who are their instructors? Who are their
handlers? Who are their teachers? Their appointers? To whom to THEY
look for their income (oh JPI biodynamic advisors)?
What test did these experts pass? What credentials do they have?
What proof do we have that they know what they are talking about. Or
are they simply (a) in it for the money or (b) to parrot some Bozo
back at JPI?
To me, they are the very same kind of people whose main and only
interest is the perpetuation of themselves as leaders of a failed
idea. (I refuse to call biodynamics a "system". It is nothing close
to a system. It is a bunch of fabricated ideas cobbled together
portrayed as a system.)
Like Glen, I've gone my own way and I like it. But it gnaws at me
that so many people in the world have been hurt so badly and
viciously by the self-appointed leaders of biodynamics and
anthroposophy. I know we can do a much better job. But who will
follow? You?
My only interest is in saving agriculture and my saving my sons from
the coming disaster brought on, as Steiner predicted, by eating
spiritually deficient food. I have used what I know to develop a
system of viticulture that is so superior to all other viticulture
management systems that there is no longer any comparison between
the two. I have used what I have learned to develop personal care
homeopathic products that anyone can use successfully without the
benefit of a homeopath to diagnose and prescribe their use. I have
developed a philosophy, based on spiritual and physical science,
supported by independent laboratory testing and trials, that can be
expanded to every corner of agriculture, animal husbandry and
medicine.
I have accomplished all this without benefit of guidance from or
approval of the leaders of biodynamics and anthroposophy. In fact,
one might say that I have accomplished all this despite them. One of
the main lessons I have learned is that 80% of what they say and
teach is wrong. I've also learned that criticism applies to some
"experts" who aren't even sanctioned by the BDA. (Which 80% is bogus
you'll all have to figure out on your own.)
What the anointed forget, or never learned, is that Steiner's ideas
were not new. You can find them in detail in many old scriptures
dating back as far as 5,000 years. What was new and unique about
Steiner was his ability to "see" remedies (the so-called 'preps'),
how to make them and how to use them. Everything else in his
lectures is secondary to these 9 remedies. EVERYTHING. To the end
user, nothing else matters.
His remedies work whether you believe in them or not. I've proven
that in laboratory experiments countless times.
Everything else, i.e. other than the use of the remedies, in the
so-called "practice of biodynamics" is standard, conventional or
organic agriculture. The Agriculture Calendars? Useless. A fraud.
Almost meaningless except in the lesson that each of us should do
what we can to garden and farm in harmony with Nature. Everything
else. Secondary.
The ability to create, God Given and Sacrosanct, overrides
EVERYTHING else. When you act in harmony and in concert with God's
Laws, the Universal Spiritual Laws, everything is available to you.
You can create miracles at the "flick of a finger".
(True yogis, saints, sages and masters only perform these miracles
for others or with the knowledge of others when they truly believe
that God has instructed them to do so for some higher purpose. This
is a power not to be trifled with or abused.)
When you do not act in harmony and concert with God's Universal
Laws, the Law of Cause and Effect dictates that you end up reaping
what you sow. This is what has happened to Demeter, biodynamics,
anthroposophy and all those associated with these organizations.
Like attracts like. The Evil beginning to show itself in the EU (no
mention of God or the Church in the new EU Constitution) is being
attracted by the evil that has infiltrated anthroposophy and
biodynamics for many, many years.
This evil is so entrenched that some of the BD leaders may not even
be aware of it, secularized as they are now. The emphasis is on the
word "some". I believe that the majority of the self-appointed
leaders know what they are doing is evil and do it anyway. Others
are outright trying everything they can do to destroy everything
Steiner did and stood for. This applies to some, maybe quite a few
people on the bdnow list as well. I can think of several off the top
of my head who have shown their hands.
But hey, isn't this what an open forum of ideas is supposed to be
like? Without the dark, we wouldn't appreciate the light. Everybody
serves some purpose. Some server best as a bad example.
Life is a constant, never ending search for the Truth. You have to
look for and find the Truth on your own. God, by making each of you
in His Image (or "Her Image if you prefer), has given you the
ability to do this. You can only do that if you realize that what
the "biodynamic experts" tell you to do is, by and large, wrong, a
perversion of Steiner's ideas and self-serving or self-promoting.
Back in the 60's, they said "never trust anyone over 30". Well, like
unto it, never trust anyone who says they're a "biodynamic expert" -
male or female. (I once met self-appointed BD "expert" who told me
that she traveled the world for, I don't know, a year or two, and
now she knew everything there was to know about biodynamics. What a
load of crap. She didn't know anything. Sophomore-itis.) Trust
yourself. Stick to the facts. Look for the scientific research to
support the argument. Use common sense. Learn your subject so you
know it backwards and forward, inside and out. Then learn to
meditate deeply for 20 minutes twice a day, three hours once a week.
Then you too can read from the Cosmic Encyclopedia just like Rudy
did. And that's ALL he did.
Steiner's Agriculture is simple. Very simple. So is Burbank's and
Carver's - his equals in every way. Anyone who makes it complicated
or adds a bunch of bells and whistles doesn't understand it and is
just plain B-S'ing you to control you or your thinking in some way.
They want to wrap YOU up in THEIR Karma and in their ignorance. Same
old story that's been around since the dawn of man. They want to
control you. That's their security blanket. You!
Control freaks are abusers. My lesbian ex-wife sexually molested my
sons when they were 5 and 7, then when she got caught, resorted to
physically and emotionally abusing them until they were in their
early teens when I was finally able to get custody of them after
spending roughly $500,000 to fight a venal and corrupt family law
court system. I know way too much about abusers and how they work.
And, how the system protects them. It's all in the court record.
Back in the 80's, once a year, I went to hear an anointed
"biodynamic expert" teach his little group about some aspect of
Steiner's lectures. He has a quiet voice. So quiet that you
literally have to lean forward just to hear him. After a few years
(doh!), it dawned on me that he was using this technique to control
his audience. Kind of reminded me of Nurse Rachet (sp?) in One Flew
Over The Cookoo's Nest with Jack Nicholson. It finally dawned on me
that this "teacher" is nothing more than a psychotic control freak
who, in reality, doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. I
know this because when I have pressed him for specific answers at
other times, he has to admit that he doesn't know the answers. But
he has his groupies and admirers. (And so does Charles Manson.)
I studied Steiner's lectures. The one consistent thing that I
noticed, when I got smarter, was that what this guy was teaching was
not what Steiner said. So, I asked him why the discrepancy? His
answer. He had no answer. He asked me to leave. The Emperor has no
clothes and woe to him who points it out.
It is just this kind of person, this kind of attitude, this kind of
psychotic, socio-pathic need to abuse and to control others, and the
use of Steiner and biodynamics to further their own interests, that
I find throughout the BDA, Demeter and JPI and that I find so
offensive and is so offensive to the whole world. With people like
this running things, is it any wonder that biodynamics in the U.S.A.
never caught on? Rational people flee him. In my opinion, he's
insane, or stupid, or just plain mean spirited, I don't know and I
don't care anymore. He's no longer relevant in my life.
Do you want to be his equal? Does anybody? Or do you want better for
yourself and the world? You have to break away from the mainstream
to do it. With his little group, it's been my unfortunate experience
of the blind leading the blind. And worst of all, this guy and
everyone like him do everything to convince me that they like it
that way.
Let me ask you all one simple question. Do you think Rudolf
Steiner's reputation in the U.S. and around the world is good or bad?
It is my opinion that the self-elected leaders of biodynamics and
anthroposophy, the BDA, Demeter, JPI, Dornach and the others
appointed, anointed and associated with them have done everything
humanly possible to destroy his reputation, his ideas and what he
stood for. Some of you may find this view a little extreme. Consider
this. How many biodynamic farms are there worldwide - as a
percentage of all farms? Less than 1/100th of 1%. How many
agricultural scientists consider Steiner anything more than a freak?
All but one or two. How many people actually understand what he
said, why he said it, how the remedies work, what they do and so on?
Nobody.
Now I ask you this. How many leaders in the field of biodynamics and
the so-called "biodynamic experts" believe they actually DO
understand what Steiner said, why he said it, how the remedies work,
what they do and so on? Answer: All of them.
They live in a fantasy world. If my work of the past 40 years has
taught me one thing, it is that the potential for Steiner's
remedies, and the potential for the ideas, concepts, laws and
principles on which he based his suggestions and insights, is
unlimited. We haven't even scratched the surface.
To stymie innovation, to destroy the work of such a great soul who
only came here to help people, to do everything possible to keep his
work to themselves (re: the trademark; re: not publishing his
lectures until 1953), to wrap it in an air of mystery and mysticism
(re: all that crap that Pfeiffer and the rest published), to add
"bells and whistles" that have no basis in either spiritual or
physical science (re: the fraud of Thun's agricultural calendar and
the Stella Natura), to con people into giving them farms and money
to support this kind of behavior under the guise of "saving" Steiner
is repugnant, immoral and unethical. Worst of all, it is evil. Why
don't they just go out, collect Rolls Royces, start a commune in
Oregon and try to take over the local town's government? It's the
same thing.
Is it any wonder Demeter's always crying for money? (Oh please, we
need money for our booth in Sacramento. Boo-Hoo.) Who but the
stupidest people in the world would financially support such an
incompetent and immoral bunch of lunatics as The Demeter
ASSociation, Inc.?
Well, they're dead anyway now that they've given up their rights to
the only asset they had. The U.S.D.A. is going to swallow them up in
one gulp.
We live in a world today where it appears that it's every man for
himself. We live in a world being overtaken by Evil in every
country. The whole world is being attacked by a group of thugs,
torturers and mobsters using a perfectly good religion that's stuck
in the 7th Century as an excuse. On the other hand, we have the
overeducated liberal elite, aided by (I sometimes wonder if they are
educated at all) conservatives afraid to lose what they have,
systematically destroying constitutions, governments and free choice
in every country on Earth. All in the name of personal security and
greed. The BDA, Demeter, JPI, Dornach and the rest fit right in.
They're stuck in the 19th and they are infiltrated and run by evil
on every level.
Our only salvation is, and the only salvation for agriculture is, if
we can't execute a Reformation throughout biodynamic and
anthroposophic institutions, we have to do it on ourselves, by
ourselves. It is the only salvation for saving mankind from a fate
worse than death - ignorance, greed, war, terrorism, famine, pain,
loss of freedom, loss of free thought - loss of everything some of
us still hold dear.
Steiner was very clear about this one thing. "Nutrition as it is
today does not supply the strength necessary for manifesting the
spirit in physical life. A bridge can no longer be built from
thinking to will and action. Food plants no longer contain the
forces people need for this." The lack of this kind of food leads to
greed, ignorance and all the Seven Deadly Sins (Dante's 'Inferno'
for those of you who forgot).
It leads to the kind of leadership we have in biodynamics and anthroposophy.
It MUST lead to the kind of Reformation - people taking personal
responsibility for understanding and acting on Steiner's ideas -
that will save agriculture and put the BDA's, Demeter's and JPI's of
the world out of business forever.
But hey, no worries. If we don't do it, the appointed (not elected)
leaders of the EU, and the U.S. will do it for us - and we won't
like the end result because when you take away one person's freedom,
we all lose some freedom and we'll have no influence over the result
either. Wouldn't you rather have some say in your future than have
it thrust upon you?
All this will, no doubt, piss off the BD leadership, once again.
They've come to expect if from me. They don't care. They think
they're fully insulated from this kind of criticism. Maybe they are.
I'm just one person. They're a huge organization worth much more
more than I am, with millions backing them. I'm a nobody.
Well, I'm their conscience. I'm the mirror they're afraid to look
into. What I say is Truth. That's why they hate me. I show them what
they're really like and they are afraid to face it for fear they'll
lose their jobs, their incomes, their power over the masses, that
their con game will be exposed. But face it they must, sooner or
later, or their organizations will cease to exist. They will cease
to exist because they have become irrelevant and a drag on
evolution. They failed to adapt. They will die because they cannot
adapt. They will die holding on to the last vestige of the power
they think they have. These organizations will die because they are
no longer needed and have no place or role in the world.
Like I said, if we don't do it, regardless of what we do, which
would, hopefully, move on and work to create something better,
they'll still be overtaken by the forces of evolution and Truth, and
Evil and Greed. As it stands now, the BDA, Demeter, JPI, Dornach and
all their friends and sycophants have no future. Of course, that's
not what they'll say.
Now, if any of you have taken the time to read all this, thank you.
