Hi Gil: Not strip mining anyone or anything here, in fact, adding to the great circle of life if you hadn't already noticed. What was meant by "bringing the ancestral inheritance forward and baptizing ourselves with it " is through the water element, breath and sound we can reclaim and honour all the wisdom of our lineage(beginning in the ocean) and have our decisions come from that wealth that is available to us would we just get a little more lateral , wave like, and sensitive to the chaos that is our only true birthright. Now are you a cosmic citizen Gil? I consider myself one, and the children and the mothers and the fathers and on through the descendents and ancestors. Now if we could have those amongst us stop stripmining our spirits... Many Blessings, Barbara Aurora Farm is the only unsubsidized, family-run seed farm in North America offering garden seeds grown using Rudolf Steiner's methods of spiritual agriculture. http://www.kootenay.com/~aurora
