Well,as far as I am from Eastern Europe,my perspective is East European,I guess?
Look Destiny,all I am trying to do here is to share my information in a non-sectarian and constructive way.Nobody is forsing on anyone else his opinion or proving this or that sourse right or wrong.
The sources I am presenting here have been studied for years from me and have proved again and again their value.And believe me,I have been studing everything under the sun in the esoteric field before I anchored in them,from yoga,chinese or ancient native american philosophy,through the old jewish philosophy and greek philosophers to medieval mystics and more contemporary thinkers and mystics like the german philosophers,theosophy or Kastaneda and the modern Russian authors or western spiritual leaders like Krishnamurty or Drunvalo Melchizedek and alike to hawaiian kahunas...
These sources also have been proven their value in the practical daylife application.Do you know for example,that Weleda and Wala(or Hauschka) are some of the oldest modern pharmacological and cosmetic companies,making their wanderful natural medicines,who have been benefited milions of people around the world almost a centurie already? They have been for a long time and continue to be more and more a name for quality in Germany,as well as the trade mark Demeter,the highest standard,ensuring the quality of the products,coming from the bio-dynamic farms(I have been working personaly on such farms and I am telling you,they had DELICIOUS veggies and milk products...and I have grown in the communist Bulgaria,when the tomatoes were tomatoes and the pairs were pairs,so I know what I am saying
!).All this,as much much more,is springing from the personality of one man-Rudolf Steiner.He gave the impulse of all that and lived his life according to the highest ethical and humanistic standarts,burning himself in the process of giving everything for the others(according to some accounts overloaded with work,he was sleeping for some periods for 2 hours a night,trying to equilibrate between his public lectures,personal meetings with people,making architectural plans,writing books and leading the beginnings of the first Waldorf School in Stuttgart,between the other things).
I am writing such an apologetics for last time because I prefer to concentrate on the topic.One of the reasons I liked this forum since the beginning is that it has been a meeting place of people,deeply concerned about our common future and discussing perspectives and strategies in a mindful and concentrated way.Not giving opinion on things on what dont have a clue about and atacking others.Love and Piece!
