I'll have to read it again a time or two.<br /><br /><i>Anthroposophy is yet another instance of a spiritually gifted but erratic occultist whose fluid ideas are reified by his generally mediocre followers into an orthodoxy ...</i><br /><br />Steiner himself kind of put me off. I read part of his "occult science" book -- can't remember the title, and got bogged down fairly early on. It seemed as though Steiner had the connection but could not communicate it. <br /><br />The use of the Tarot symbols seems to help me better follow along what UF is saying. It's all "biblical", but it's a good example of using something de-saturated to route new synaptic pathways. <br /><br />I had forgotten that he had been a Steiner disciple or it didn't register that it was <i>that</i> Steiner.mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.com
