That sounds about right.

I always wondered how the guy into Rosicrucianism, OTO, and peasant wisdom ended up so stuffy. I am very big on anthro-centrics looking at the history of RS and the different groups he learned from and shared with and the previous sources of that stuff. If people understood that Steiner didn't just pop up out of a vacuum as the only one of his kind, there would be much less confusion and blind dogmatism around this stuff. And, thus, we also wouldn't have to listed to Greg Willis' bombast about the same. Chris __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
