Best books of his to start with are "Knowledge of Higher Worlds" and "The Philosophy of Freedom". Christopher Bamford is editor of Steiner Press and is also good to read. He seems to have been going in a more catholic mysticism direction of late, as evinced by his 'Parabola' articles anyway. And there is also our 'anonymous' friend from "Meditations on the Tarot" - he was Steiner's star pupil for a while, and although he eventually embraced catholicism he tried to retain and integrate what was good from anthroposophy into his faith, Peace, KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497078.post-39078192036539293662007-05-09T08:51:00.000-04:002007-05-09T08:51:00.000-04:00Will do.

I can't say I buy into his entire spiritualist structure but clearly the guy was quite thorough in his approach to life in general and educatoin and agriculture in particular. I think I need to do some more reading of his lectures and books. I also suppose I'd rather deal with artistic yuppies than the money grubbing banker types.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606902928721266606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497078.post-61647966533663664122007-05-08T16:20:00.000-04:002007-05-08T16:20:00.000-04:00Call me about the Waldorf/Steiner stuff - when the...Call me about the Waldorf/Steiner stuff - when the wee woman was coming I did a lot of reading and research on this. And we have been looking into it down here for the fall. Steiner was a genius and mystic, but not infallible, as some of his more dogmatic followers seem to view him. Montessori stuff is also great. One negative is the high tuition. Plus, that you will have to put up with a lot of yuppie parents. In the case of Montessori more mainstram yuppie types; with Waldorf, the trustafarian 'artiste' type<BR/><BR/>KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
