Any of you ever get the thought , that you are the perfect one, the only that really matters and that life is one big game, everyone else around you is not from the same place,not really human, kinda like components in the game, put there..... you're going through a test, kinda like the Trueman show........( I don't think I got this message across the way I meant to!)

Georg, there is so much more to Rudolph Steiner than his communities for handicap and schools.

He did hundreds of lectures on reincarnation, general philosophy of life, development of children, Karma and etc

Find a book and read slowly with an open mind.

Sure Barb. I was trying to say, that there's quite a big movement in Germany. The people call themselves "Anthroposophen" that liv and work according to RS.
I didn't like the athmosphere in the pkace we visited. Some of the people moved about, talked and had gestures as is practicing for a bible movie. Seemed a bit creepy. Kind of artificual.
In a way they also reminded me of the Jehova witnesses you find in our pedestrianzones at times. With an expression of suffer in their face and a slight hint "your to blame for all the wrong in the world" It's okay to me for anybody to believe in what he wants to, but they must leave me with my belief. The only way we can realy aproach each other is by living in a process of dialectic. (hope that doesn't sound to German) An experiance one must make oneself. Nothing I can expect from anybody else. I see it this way when it comes to belief.

Brings a laugh to my belly Georg jnr ... your description of the people taking the reading and the philosophy of the book too seriously .. spooky .. artificial .. I get image of the Stepford wives movie ...
Too many books .. too many experts .. I dont read them as they might flavour a free way of thinking , instead I allow what drifts in through various means to settle into my conscience .. and not be of the >>>> " this is the way to go " ... " therein lies your salvation " club ...

There is a bit of good in every philosophy , belief , religion ... yes indeed a show .. and yes we as the actors have once again choice ... what sits comfortably in your heart , go with it . one proviso , no harm to you , fellow beings or your surroundings ...

The point being, that people in general are very gullable...... What was that line.... the bigger the lie, the bigger the number of people will believe it.....

I remember two elderly women trying to "teach" me right in a train about 25 years ago. The cheeky young man I was at that time, I told them I believed Jesus was the greatest communist of all times. That cured them. From then on, I knew all I had to do is try an absurd statement and I'd live in peace...

forgive me oldman. But I think I know who I got these methods from.

SandyB · February 20, 2008, 10:25:17 AM

Gullible .. yes thats soo true .. too many out there that are vulnerable in this aspect .. More so nowadays ... I laugh, I get this regular email newsletter from Rochelle and Bethea .. your horoscope .. yes I casually scan through it always noting that it is so generic and one can pick what you want from it , but then it helps give some people hope if they having a shitty day or life I suppose .. but what irks me is the improve your life and luck attract wealth happiness etc part of their communiques .. buy this " cross of malta ", "magic birthstone" etc etc .. while I acknowledge the latent power of "talismans' be it a St Christopher , Holy cross , Crucifix , Ank , I get this mental picture of if one was gullible and ahd to succumb to the temptation of all these offerings one would actually be broke and weighed down with all the charms and the sellers would be rich ..
One has to try have the innocence of faith combined with a healthy dose of cynic to remain on a level with ones soul ..

georg ruf jr. · February 20, 2008, 11:26:52 AM

But carefull. Being to cynical will turn you "bitter". But still, I suppose you're right.
Being all the sh*t will make the sellers reach a "higher level" in life and they'll be happier thanks to you...

SandyB · February 20, 2008, 12:44:11 PM

Context context context .. slap my wrist .. rephrase ..

One has to try have the innocence of faith combined with a dose of healthy cynic to remain on a level with ones soul ..

reminds me of the old latin saying .. something to do with " its not so much the poison that kills but the dosage " So watch that dosage .. Georg Snr help here please with that saying !!

"healthy cynicism' indeed possibly a hard act to follow ?? maybe even too harsh a word ?? .. should I maybe say as lifewise and streetwise as a hooker ?? take your pick .. I try to surround myself with honest friends who will speak their truth to me , and I return the same favour to them , we each have something good to give each other .. again always with good intent ..

When the Jahova's come to my door I tell them I'm catholic and ask them to say the rosasry with me first then I'll be prepared to listen , this gets them moving on.

SandyB · February 20, 2008, 01:14:42 PM

My sunday morning treat ... I got the knock on the door from the watchtower couple .. I had been out jolling till early hours so looked the part , secondly I was pissed off at being woken up when I was trying to sleep off a bad hangover .. so I opened the door , stood there starkers and said in my best croaky voice that I had been out till the early hours in the fleshpots of the city debauching myself so was feeling a bit rotten but they were welcome to have a cup of coffe with me .. it was decided there and then that I was "beyond saving " and they fled never to come near my house again .. the gypsies leave secret marks by houses that are good to them or bad to them .. maybe they had same system cos I was never bothered again...

Michael Alexander · February 20, 2008, 01:19:41 PM

R u sure you never arrived home starkers?
