Dear Graeme,
I do not know what response is being referred to here. But I think it would be fine to post it.

Dear Brian,
I quite agree that homeopathic remedies and biodynamic crops produced with the use of radionics should be labeled as such. I don't know how others feel about it, or what the perception of the buying public is. My perception is the radionically prepared medicine is preferable, all other things (such as handling, environmental effects on the medicine under storage and handling, etc.) being equal. I didn't used to think so, but over the years I've become convinced. Likewise the radionically produced BD food has the potential of being preferable, though, of course, farmers vary and so do crops and conditions. I didn't used to believe this either, but the past 10 or 15 years I've learned to accept it. I think that as long as we remain open-minded and don't crusade against what we know too little of we stand a good chance of developing a very keen appreciation of how preferable radionics is.
It is wrong to imagine that radionics is lifeless or soulless or that one can avoid self-deception (you put your finger on the spot there!) by taking an amoral or immoral approach. Radionics is maybe 80% dowsing, and how does one avoid self-deception dowsing? For sure, one has to work on integrity. Anyway, organization is the basis of life and when radionics is used to copy, transpose and super-impose organizational patterns it is working with life as far as I'm concerned.
I'm always intrigued with the argument that we aren't ready morally for radionics. I see people use heavy tractors and pollutive fuels, electricity and even all the agencies of death in agriculture from methyl bromide on up--and it is accepted that we don't have much moral conflict. Oh, if you're Amish you might have a conflict, but there's a sizable proportion of BD folks who want to use stirring machines and tractor driven spraying and they have no moral conflict, whereas they have one with radionics.
Steiner said the most important thing was to get the benefits of our preparations out over the widest possible areas of the entire earth for its healing and the improvement of its produce in every respect. Stirring and spraying has so far proven woefully inadequate in this regard. With radionics much more is being done both inside and outside of the biodynamic movement.
I would think biodynamic practitioners might have a moral conflict between the need to get the preps out over the entire earth and the fact that stirring and spraying is a hopeless way to get there. So what next? I should think it a moral imperative to find a successful means. And yet when one raises its potential head it is treated like a moral crisis and given a cold shoulder. Not by everyone, of course, but by some.
Actually I might expect such a stance to be taken by those comfortable with their position in regards to status quo. If things change they could lose their ascendancy. That position, of course, is not coming from the moral high ground in the first place.
Well, keep up the good work. I expect to be in Queensland at the end of July.
Best, Hugh
