The most puzzling and disturbing matter in
this topic about people like Stronzenmaier (pardon Studenmaier),
Dugan and their brainwashed companions is the following. If they
gained the "awareness" that Steiner is a pompous charlatan
and Anthrop. is a whole ball of shit why are they wasting their
"preciuos" time with this matter ? Have not they got
something better to do or are not they able to see themselves
like the prisoners of some obscure compulsive complex of "love
and hate"?
For myself: in my twenties I studied in deep
Esotericism of "traditionalist gesture" like the one
of Guènon and Evola and, at last, I judged it to be, as
a whole, a kind of crap.
Well, I cannot imagine myself, now, strugglin'
on some "Evola list" in order to "demonstrate"
he is a "pompous charlatan" and so on, doesn't it ?

Those people have been asked that quastion
many times, also by me, and they always respond by explaining
the need for their crusade to continue. Otherwise, society would
be duped and seduced by deceptive and creepy anthropops, and
the children of unsuspecting parents who have not been warned
by PLANS will be abused and their minds poisoned and their future
ruined. This is why they also have a closed list called "Waldorf
Survivors" consisting of people who have suffered
at the hands of Waldorf teachers and administrators. They exchange
Waldorf horror stories and give each other comfort and encouragement.
Waldorf/Anthroposophy/Steiner, which is a racist cult, is the
enemy and the perpetrator of evil, and it is PLANS' mission to
rescue humanity from this moloch.

Peter S. has a talent with words, but he is
less of an asset to the critics than they seem to realise. For
a group which uses as one of their main arguments the allegation
that Anthroposophy and Rudolf Steiner are "weird",
having the anarchist crusader among them takes a big chunk off
their credibility. The man is as weird as they come.
As to what keeps him and the other fellows
there tightly embraced to Anthroposophy despite their apparent
loathing of it, here goes my theory: It is a deep, unconscious
and very revealing fascination with it; it is as if they are
in love with Anthroposophy. Sadly, they can't have it, because
they can't "get it". They are unable to understand
it, to penetrate its mysteries. Therefore they feel rejected.
Unable to perform in a love level, they turn to the other face
of love, which is hate - in a romantic realm such as this is,
the true opposite of love would be indifference. And like the
fox, they mumble the grapes were green after all and they don't
want them. And by the way nobody else should have them because
they are dangerous - enter the green jealousy monster. It is
their alleged dislike of Antroposophy that provides them with
an excuse to stay close to it -thus illustrating my point that
they do love it.
As it was mentioned here, they may very well
come back as Anthroposophers in another life. This being the
case, there's no reason for the WC'eers to despair. There's still
hope. They may be able to make love to Anthroposophy one day,
although in this existence they obviously lack the necessary
equipment.

Tks a lot,Tarjei,
I live in Italy and here, since the Waldorf
orientted school are very few we have not such a kind of problem.
(I have the opposite, just to pick up money in order to let my
children become "waldorf-anthro addict.!!). I followed the
thread in France,Netherlands ,Germany and, especially in France,
I had the impression - as others have had- that there was a kind
of "little masonic hands" behind the French "anti-Waldorf
crusade.
On the same time, in Germany, most of the
"eco-fascist =anthropop" hoaxes' campaign seems to
spring from some problems insiide the German Grren Party, namely
the attempt of neo-marxist wing to gain power over the ecologist
wing., somewhat concerned with Steiner's teachings, mainly in
Waldorf and Byofarming areas.
But what's behind the US campaign ? Is it
only a spontaneous matter of social mental illness and disturbance
or is something else behind ?
What is your insight about it ?

Dear Andrea,
There is an additional way that this can be
viewed. In my opinion we do a disservice to ourselves not to
include this view.
Within the individual biographies of many
individuals of the modern age, materialism still plays a role
it is meant to play. Such individuals need the materialistic
outlook because they have yet to have those experiences from
which they will learn the necessary freedom from a previously
dominate traditional religious view.
Materialism in this sense performs a necessary
service in the development of the "I-am". In order
to be free to choose the spirit, we need first to be free of
our traditional and karmic links to the spirit.
When the paradigms of materialism (in whatever
form, whether natural science, or secular humanism etc.) encounter
the paradigms of the new mysteries, the resulting conflict creates
social problems of no small significance. This is part of what
we experience in the coming into existence of PLANS - that is
a collusion of paradigms, with each paradigm having a valid significance
in each individual biography.
The views of Dan, and Peter S. and Sharon
(for example), in the general sense of their partaking of the
general paradigm of materialism, are necessary to their biographies.
In a like way, the manifestation of the shadow elements of the
soul life (their doubles) are also a necessary part of their
biographies.
We experience these excesses (their paradigms
and shadow impulses) in different ways. Mostly we "defend"
because we experience their efforts as "attacks". We
forget to live inside their biographies, we forget to walk in
their shoes, and assume because we don't like what they say that
they are "wrong" and we are "right".
My view would be that our assumptions of their
flaws and our correctness results from a failure on our part
to understand the practice of anthroposophy.
Failing to be appropriately empathic, we then
fall into "argument" taking what is essentially an
intellectual soul response to what is basically a consciousness
soul dilemma. We seek to convince them of their intellectual
errors, and seek to bring them into conformance with our more
correct views.
This mostly results from a failure within
the anthroposophical movement to appreciate the social implications
of the Philosophy of Freedom. In the Philosophy we are taught
concerning the creation of mental representations, which if we
really penetrate to what this means socially will show us that
every individual today lives within such mental representations
(whose meaning and significance is wholly linked to the karma
of their biography). We are meant to live within this darkness
(the mental representations), cut off from the spirit, until
such time that we ourselves choose to find our particular way
forward.
Dan, Peter S. and Sharon (to continue the
example) have those mental representations that belong to their
biographies, and we really have no basis (in terms of the Good)
to demand their inner life be any different than it is. Each
has their path to freedom, and it is not ours to insist they
walk any other way than the way that they walk.
This does leave us with a dilemma, for we
also know clearly the harm being done by the excesses of their
shadows. What this comes down to in the end, is not so much pointing
out what we believe to be the truth in contradistinction to what
we see as the confusion of PLANS, but rather how to treat those
whose biography results in such views and actions that are harmful
to what we have come to love.
In the long run, it is my view that anthroposophists,
who wish to lead people away from the errors we observe in PLANS,
will do better by making the following distinction. There is
a considerable difference between Dan, Peter S. and Sharon as
human beings (including what manifests as their shadow nature),
and what manifests in their biographies as mental representations
with which we do not agree.
If we dehumanize them in any way, we do them
a disservice as human beings, and fail ourselves. Dan's rule
against ad hominem arguments (personal attacks) is valid in this
sense.
As to "arguing" with their views,
we may well do a disservice there as well, if we assume malicious
intent. All of us have character flaws, and if we as anthroposophists
are going to approach the situation from a "spiritual"
moral view, then imagining we know the moral intentions of another
human begin, based upon the fact that they disagree with our
mental representations, just won't work. Difference does not
mean moral wrongness.
If we believe ourselves purer in our intuitions
of concepts, and then judge their mental representations as moral
failings, we also miss the social meaning of the Philosophy.
Consider the various introductions to different
editions of Steiner's Occult Science. Again and again he describes
how he expects most who read that book to find flaws with it.
He has understood that we live in a time of conflicting (individualized)
mental representations, and he does not expect but a few to be
ready yet to understand what he has offered. Can we do less?
Yes, horrible words are written about what
we love. Does that justify us using horrible words back, describing
others in dehumanizing ways? Is that an aspect of the practice
of anthroposophy?
warm regards,
joel

Hi Joel
happy to read you again !
Well., you're surely right suggesting to look
into those people's biographies, aka trying to realize the difference
between the mistake and the human being who is "the bearer"of
it. Neverthless here on the web, I meet difficulties in order
to perform this noble spiritual gesture.. Before talking about
these difficulties , letme step back for a while..
I have the task to defend what a good karma
gave me in form of Anthroposophy. When i say "defend"
I mean to tell it in a double way, and one of them is precisely
"rearrange the mistakes" especially when they spring
from a bad faith standpoint ,by the means of a whole lot of falsehoods
, legitimate as you like on a "legal" point of view,
, but entirely built on precoinceved ideas in a way able to remember
me of the same twisted way of thinking typical of Shoah's ""denialists".
(The other -and main- way of "defending
Anthroposphy"- is basically to enforce inside myself the
inner development path in order to help the building of the right
foundation for the Social life, but it doesn't mean that I have
no more the task to defend- IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD- the "word"
from the liars!)
"Defending anthroposphy": I certainly
use the tools of my own "choleric" character , but
i always keep on trying to mantain the right epistemological
correctnes ( conceptual framework, inner "ear for truth"
and quotes,references, and so on).
Then. what about the "forgiveness gesture"
in it ?
Dear Joel I am here on the web and I'm not
discussing "face to face" with RS' "denialsts"
so my field of perception of the "other" meets in this
case big limits.
So I know PS and DD only for their continouos
twisting of Spiritual Science and I have no further chance to
know something else of their biographies (maybe some of them
was abused by an anthro-uncle...) and , to say it in harsh frankness,
i don't care very much about it....
Ad majora

Dear Peter,
I love and respect the universal aspect of
our humanity that we both share, even though we might not agree
as to what that might be. I respect that you have a right to
your opinion, as do I, and that even though we disagree allot
about the central tenants of anthroposophy, our shared humanity
is not thus diminished. I will try to believe that you have the
best interests of all those involved in your discussions at heart,
and from now on will try to keep our shared humanity at the core
or our discussions. Even if we don't actually discuss anything.
I will try not to make monkey faces at you, if you stop making
those stupid Amiman faces at me. I promise to stop making stupid
allegations as your motive and intent, as soon as you stop making
all those stupid allegations that you make. And I will not be
disrespectful anymore about your blatant disrespect for the religious
nature of Steiner's work....
Ahh shit. It's a start anyway.

The PLANS-WC cult and hate group originates
with Dan Dugan's own 1987 Waldorf Horror Story, when his children
were attending a Waldorf school in San Francisco and he discovered
"racist" texts by Steiner, and the Waldorf teachers
seemed bewildered when he pointed this out and they said Steiner
was complicated and they wouldn't refute Steiner's "racism".
This is why DD, seventeen years later, is very insistent that
anthroposophists must refute "racism" in anthroposophy.
His demands amounts to that anthro's must abandon their entire
Weltanschauung, which DD consideres obscene and immoral and compares
to the beliefs of Nazi war criminal Alfred Rosenberg. So naturally,
Peter Staudenmaier and Dan Dugan have found each other. Before
the arrival of PS, DD was soing his Nazi war dance against anthroposophy
solo. With a little help from people like Sharon, Newpaul, Diana,
Debra and the rest, they have elaborated an entire theology of
sorts with some kind of sinister Protocols of Steiner plotting
racial wars in the future, brainwashing and psychic violence
and child abuse.
