Michael,
My talk was a few months ago. I know Dr.J Barker real
well. HE WAS ONE of the few professors who came to my
talk. That day he impressed many students who did not know that he
was open to esoteric traditions. So was I. Yes I'm talking about the
old dairy farm at Oyster Bay. I was under the impression that a student
movement from the Faculty of Agriculture was taking over and writing up a
proposal. I was asked to participate, but since I was leaving the
province, I declined.
I wish them success.
Small world I guess..

Robin-How long ago did you give the talk at UBC?
The latest info. I assume you mean the old dairy farm at Oyster Bay?
That being the case, the latest is that they want to get rid of it. One
of the parents of one of our companions at Camphill (Dr. Johon Barker) is on
the faculty of Forestry, UBC. He alerted us and BD Glenora Farm, etc.
and we were interested in taking it over. Nothing much there except a
couple of old decrepit buildings, grass and forest. Our BC BD AGM was on
the premises but, the meeting regarding using the property was a total
flop. Michael

SStorch,
Perhaps this is true. But, I must say that I've observed positive
change in the 'so called' scientific community. For now, change
is difficult to see because of its state of
condition. I'd say its more internal then
external. Many of the younger scientists are freely
admitting that spirituality needs to be incorporated in their professional
lives, including research endeavors. Unfortunately, many
'leaders' in the scientific milieu are very materialistic. This
makes it very difficult for the younger crowd to manifest the internal
change into something more observable. But things are
brewing. No doubt. For example, last year I gave a talk
about biodynamic agriculture and forestry at the University of British
Columbia. It was very well received as students come from both
the forestry agriculture departments came. They are now interesting in
managing their UBC farm with some BD concepts.
I'm certain that spirituality is slowly permeating other Universities
in the world. Is your glass half full or half
empty...
Regards,
Robin

Lily destroyed much of her
life's work because it was not accepted bythe scientific community;
they were not ready for it. What a shame, not much has
changed...sstorch
