I'll have to check that out. I've been
very impressed by Alan Chadwick, not so much with Rudolph Steiner
though. I've read a LOT of his books, he seems pretty arrogant to
me. The agricultural ones were interesting but the tone was far too
arrogant and dictatorial and not very informative as to how to use the
information in an adaptive way. Some of the practices seem more like
religious rites and I never really got a good explanation, as to why the
practices work or not, in fact I got a refusal to even address why it would
work, only that its supposed to work, like the manure or silca in the cow
horn business. I've also read some of his more occult books, again
interesting but not very convincing. His attitude toward race is
particularly disturbing. Some of my experiences with the Boidynamics
people also have been very good but a lot of them very bad. Seems a lot of
them look at Rudolph Steiner as some sort of god and many of them treat
biodynamics as some sort of religion, not open to any sort of questioning, a lot
of them literally showed me the door when I started asking questions
about the mechanics and scientific nuts and bolts of their
assertions. Don't even think about talking eastern philosophy to them , I
practically got lyched doing that LOL. Don't get me wrong, I think there
is an underlying basis for a lot of what is taught, like the adding of herbs and
other components to compost for various problems, but the attitude of most
the people I had experience with was a little too much like very religious
stuborn blind faith and a clan mentality which usually clashed
with my attitude of inclusive consideration of possibilities but also
of critical thinking. That said I don't believe in throwing the baby out
with the bathwater. Biodynamics would be a lot more helpful without the
smoke and mirrors routine.
Sorry for the rant, sorta been
through a lot on this subject.
