Re: Kolisko's work
Hi! Lloyd, I am most interested. I understand that under Oz Law one can copy up to ten percent of a copyright work, for personal use or study on any one day and it is then understand that on another day one can copy another ten percent etc. I suggest that if the largest section posted on a site is no more than ten percent and as long as the whole thing is not on the one site at the same time, there should be no great problem. If half was on one site and the rest on an unrelated site, it would be hard to make a case. As you know, we have cheap access to the net here and size is not much problem, so it would be up to those for whom it is a problem, to speak up. I am sure Allan knows this sort of detail about those on the list. Gil Lower, Central Oz.

Two possibilities - convert the graphs into lists of numbers, boring for the reader and a lot of work typing, or scan as attachments send to you and you put them up as officially sanitised virus free attachments to be downloaded if desired??(this way we also maintain the format meaning of the text passages) Would this work ?? Also what is the limit as far as size of quoted material posted - my thinking on this is if it goes up as complete chunks then readers can download and print out relevant bits of the book (chapter at a time) whereas if we hack it around thats not then possible. Is the interest out there to make any of this worth doing???

This work, Agriculture of Tomorrow, needs to be read by everyone and discussed and re-examined as much as possible. We need to perform trials based on the Kolisko's suggestions.

Re: Koliskos
At the wizards workshop it was stressed by some speakers that homeopathic applications of lime had to be backed up by actually physically spreading lime, I pushed this line BUT I only advocate fertiliser quantities of physical lime to be spread. Thats say 10 to 20 percent of the normal recommended rate - in most cases you would be told a ton + per acre - I think 200 to 500 kg per Ha is workable. there are several reasons for this , first is cost, next is without good microbial activity and organic carbon calcium will drop through the soil system like a stone in a pond and in a few years we will find it accumulated way down the soil profile out of the root zone - Hugh Hi Loyd, I agree with on the above and for the same reasons, I have tried a potetised calcium spray in a friends garden about a year ago and it certainly woke the snails up. So according to them it certainly was effective, but not nescesarily the best thing for that time and place. I would see it as being more usefull in dry or drought conditions. Cheers, Peter.

Forms of Clairvoyance

Re: Forms of Clairvoyance
Robin, No you are not 'off the the wall.' Just as clairvoyance leads to 'imagination' so clairaudience leads to 'inspiration,' which is a step higher on the path to higher knowledge. Don From: Robin Duchesneau [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2002 14:03:08 -0700 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Nicola McEnroe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Forms of Clairvoyance Hello, Spiritual science tells us that we can develop other forms of clairvoyance, such as clair-smelling (clairsentant in French). Steiner gives the example of smelling a sweet sent in the forest being related to astrality coming down from the canopy of trees. That one could develop this organ to perceive the subtle nature of the spiritual atmosphere that surrounds us. I was wondering if one could be clair-listener. Ears being the spiritual organ. My example is simple. These past days it's been so damn HOT and humid in Quebec. Yesterday the temperature went up to 40 (over 100). When this happens a large homopterous bug of the family Cicadidae makes a loud shrill buzzing sound. Anyway, since insects are said to be linked to the astral quality of trees, I got the impression that the sound of the male cicada was essentially manifested astrality. With this spiritual knowledge, it becomes clear that fine tuning our ears could potentially lead to what would be clairhearing. I would also think that the cicada would be one of those insects that is closer to birds, seeing that they are one of the rare insects that LOVE the astral qualities of trees. I say this because, while other species are hiding in the shade (remember that it is very very hot), this little bugger is climbing all the way to the top of the trees where it is ever hotter, and activating its body like there is no tomorrow. Is this funny, interesting, deep, or off the wall. Regard, Robin

Kolisko and Hoof and Mouth
Foot and Mouth Epidemic By Bernard Jarman Outbreaks of Foot and Mouth disease have recurred at regular intervals since the late nineteenth century. Each time, the disease strain seems to be stronger and more virulent. Despite the success of the UK eradication programme for many year,. infection has once again spread rapidly across the country. Modern agricultural systems are clearly extremely vulnerable to such outbreaks of disease, a fact exacerbated by liberalised trade and the relentless economic pressure on farmers. As the funeral pyres of countless livestock darken Britain's skies, we could do well to ponder what we as a nation have inflicted on our domestic animals. Foot and Mouth disease and BSE are not natural disasters but come as a direct consequence of a disregard for the intimate relationships existing between soil, plant, animal and the whole of nature. Sir Albert Howard, working in India during the 1920's, experienced how important healthy humus-rich soil is for plant and animal health. In his book Farming Gardening for Health or Disease, he showed how, through caring for livestock in the best possible way, providing them with healthy, natural food grown on the farm and without using any artificial fertilisers, his animals could be resistant to many of the prevalent diseases including Foot and Mouth. Indeed, so convinced was he of their resilience and health that he allowed his animals to come into contact with infected animals and contaminated pasture. This experiment was repeated 13 years running during which time none of his animals became infected. In his own words, This long experience of foot and mouth suggests that an important factor in the prevention of animal disease is food from humus filled soil. Lady Eve Balfour in her book The living Soil confirms this in a reference to an observation made to her by the government veterinary department in the early 1950's, that outbreaks mapped across Europe indicated that the disease did not spread into areas still being traditionally farmed. In the Agriculture Course, Rudolf Steiner states. The cow has horns in order to send into itself the astral-ethereal formative powers, which, pressing inward, are meant to penetrate right into the digestive organism. Precisely through the radiation that proceeds from horns and hoofs, much work arises in the digestive organism itself. Anyone who wishes to understand Foot and Mouth disease - that is, the reaction of the periphery on the digestive tract must clearly perceive this relationship. Our remedy for Foot and Mouth disease is founded on this perception. During many years of extensive research on the nature and treatment of Foot and Mouth disease, Eugen and Lily Kolisko(1) developed a comprehensive picture of it. They came to recognise that the disease has the effect of increasingly separating the animal's nervous system from the rest of its organism as a result of severe disturbances in the rhythmic (breathing, circulation) system of the animal. As it develops and takes hold the Foot and Mouth virus can attack and eventually destroy the heart. This illness picture very much supports the findings of Sir Albert Howard in that, due to over stimulation, incorrect feeding, one sided breeding and an overall lack of consideration for the animal's true nature, the organism loses its living connection to the earth and hence its resistance to the virus. Following indications given by Rudolf Steiner, the Koliskos went on to develop a remedy for the disease based on coffee. Coffee stimulates metabolism and brain activity and hence a remedy based on it can provide the possibility for counteracting the deadening effect of the virus on the nervous system and redirect the circulation of blood towards the brain. Initial vials showed promising results although with the necessity for repeated intravenous applications it proved extremely time consuming. They also had some success with its prophylactic use. Other preventative treatments that have had some measure of success in the past, involve stimulating the mucus organs in the animal. Weeping and saliva formation keep the glands of the head active. The feeding of onions and lemons has proved particulady helpful for cattle, as has the use of formic acid formulations released as steam vapours in cow sheds, according to Wolfgang Schaumann, an experienced vet from Germany. Homeopathic remedies which have been recommended as preventative measures include: Arsenicum, Belladonna and Mercurius, all of which are used in the treatment of skin complaints, sores and ulcers. If administered when the symptoms of dullness and lack of appetite appears, Arsenicum has been repeatedly effective, according to the Pocket Book of Homeopathic Veterinary Medicine (published ca. 1950). Graphites is an effective remedy for hoof sores and may also be helpful as a preventative measure. The use of Borax 30C was used

Hi! Roger, If you have the actual book and modest scanner for say $A150 will do the job. I have neither, but have a friend who is archiving a lot of art photography, such as all the entries in competitions and exhibitions at our local cultural centre.
