In a way Rudolf Steiner was like Jezus. ItÅ› not that he walked on water, and lets face it, Christ is a mythological character that represents psychological aspects of ourselves, but both dudes wouldn't want their words being made in to dogma.
Some people will grasp onto fixed ideas and make it into dogma, because it makes them feel safe from drowning in the ocean of chaos that is the world of information. It is just a thing some people tend to do. It would be nice if people could stop blaming whole groups for behaviours of some.
I am very much interested in this topic as I am about to start a journey as a CSA farmer with a good friend of mine who did his bio-dynamics degree. I myself did 2 PDC's so consider myself more into permaculture. As some others here I too have seen spirits and feel all that, but I am also allergic to dogma, so take things at face value. I'm very much interested in the merging of these 2 philosophies as both make valid points.
Thanks for all the sensible comments in this thread. It's kind of refreshing to read!
