Re: Trees as broadcasters
Greetings Deborah, I use a relatively small tree, ask its permission first, I haven't done any investigation as to how small one can go and still be effective. My Guess would be about 8ft. I pick one with a balanced form. I don't know what there limmits are but have reason to believe that they can work from one continent to another if that is the wish of the sender and the receiver. You can set the preparations / remedies at the base of the tree for soil radiation and a secure crook of a branch or knot hole for the atmospheric broadcast. You can set the boundaries by asking when you do your start up prayer or meditation, then check it by dowsing. I use a forked stick or L rods. I think that the same rules should apply as would be valid for any other type of spraying. Keep it to your place, and allow special friends to draw from it for their place if they wish. Talk to your tree and the elementals that live in it, from time to time. Best wishes Peter. >From the land of the Lord Of The Rings film set. - Original Message - From: "Deborah Byron" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The Tree as Cosmic Pipe
If we observe the physiology of the tree and apply the words of Steiner,
that the tree trunk proper is simply a more enlivened form of soil;
Schauberger, explaining that the growth rings from winter to summer create a
dielectric and are capable of absorbing and generating energy [please also
refer to the work of Wilhelm Reich {orgone energy and the orgone
accumulator}]. It becomes obvious that a tree is more than it appears. I,
among others believe that trees belong to another kingdom of Nature, [Ents]
set aside from plants like vegetables, perennials, or annuals. If we want to
use the tree for this purpose you can do several things. If you dowse, use a
pendulum, you would first ask permission, and then ask "What is the proper
orientation of this tree in the earth?", the pendulum will respond. Next you
would ask, "What is the current orientation of this tree in the earth?", the
pendulum will respond. Chances are that if the seed landed or if planted by
an unconscious human the tree is not properly oriented. It is not oriented
to the group soul of the trees, the physical and etheric bodies are out of
syncronisty with the astral body of the group soul and ego or overlighting
Devas of the species of tree. This may be observed through "corkscrewing" of
the trunk, or an obvious imbalance of the branches of the tree. If you do
not dowse you may go right to this aspect. You would next say, " In
accordance with God's will and the Christ Jesus let this tree have it's best
possible orientation for its best possible future growth {and for the
reception and roadcast of the biodynamic earth healing remedies}". I added
the part in parenthesis. I encourage each person to personalize the prayer
of intent.
What is done next is that the biodynamic remedies are placed within the
energy field of the tree. They are loosely packed in small vials, about the
size that tinctures come in, lids down tight to keep water out. The horn
manure is place about three to ten feet from the trunk on the north side of
the tree [depending on size, use your intuition], barrel compost on the south
side, equisetum tea on the east side [2/3 full in case it freezes]. Depth
should bd from 6-18 inches deep, a core soil sampler works good for this.
The horn silica gets hung in the branches above the ground on the west side
of the tree. If using a pendulum you can ask what the broadcast radius of
the tree is, let each swing be ten or one hundred miles.

I have many trees thus rigged. The Crypotomeria has a world wide broadcast,
there are some 300-400 year old copper beeches that go 1200-1500 miles. If

FW: [globalnews] [starhawk] Why we Need Women's Actions andFeminist Voices for Peace
Title: FW: [globalnews] [starhawk] Why we Need Women's Actions and Feminist Voices for Peace Why We Need Women’s Actions and Feminist Voices for Peace By Starhawk Among the hundreds of groups and actions being mounted against the war on Iraq are a significant number called and organized by women. Code Pink: Unreasonable Women for Peace has disrupted Congressional hearings and mounted an ongoing women’s peace vigil at the White House since November 17. Women in Black hold vigils in hundreds of communities around the world on a regular basis. Women Rising for Peace and Justice, the women’s caucus of United for Peace, has issued a call for January 17 to be a day of women’s actions against the war. Women are deeply impacted by war, racism and poverty—the three evils named by Martin Luther King. But when we stand for peace as women, it is not to make a case for our special victimhood, but to represent a different vision of strength. Women-initiated and women-led actions have a special energy and power. That power comes not from excluding men—most of these actions welcome men as participants—but because of the joy and visionary potential that arise when we come together as women to defend the values of life and caring that we hold dear. To defend those values, we need not just women’s voices against the war, but specifically feminist voices. For feminism allows us to analyze patriarchy, the constellation of values, ideas and beliefs that reinforces male control over women. No set of qualities is innately or exclusively ‘female’ or ‘male’. Men can be compassionate, loving and kind, as women can be tough, brave, or callous. But patriarchy assigns the qualities associated with aggression and competition to men, and relegates to women the devalued roles of nurturing and service. Patriarchy values the hard over the soft, the tough over the tender; punishment, vengeance and vindictiveness over compassion, negotiation, and reconciliation. The ‘hard’ qualities are identified with power, success and masculinity, and exhalted. The ‘soft’ qualities are identified with weakness, powerlessness, and femininity, and denigrated. Under patriarchy, men are shamed and considered weak if they exhibit qualities associated with women. Politicians win elections by being tough—tough on terror, tough on crime, tough on drugs, tough on welfare mothers. Calls for cooperation, negotiation, compassion or recognition of our mutual interdependence are equated with womanly weakness. In the name of ‘toughness’, the power holders deprive the poor of the means of life, the troubled and the ill of treatment and care, the ordinary citizen of our privacy and civil rights. Force, punishment, and violence are patriarchy’s answer to conflicts and social problems. Patriarchy finds its ultimate expression in war. War is the field in which the tough can prove their toughness and the winners triumph over the losers. Soldiers can be coerced into dying or killing when their fear of being called womanlike or cowardly overrides their reluctance to face or deal death. War removes every argument for tenderness and dissolves all strictures on violence. War is the justification for the clampdown that lets the rulers impose control on every aspect of life. Wise feminists do not claim that women are innately kinder, gentler, more compassionate than men per se. If we did, the Margaret Thatchers and Condoleeza Rice’s of the world would soon prove us wrong. We do claim that patriarchy encourages and rewards behavior that is brutal and stupid. We need raucous, incautious feminist voices to puncture the pomposity, the arrogance, the hypocrisy of the war mongers, to point out that gorilla chest-beating does not constitute diplomacy, that having the world’s largest collection of phallic projectile weapons does not constitute moral authority, that invasion and penetration are not acts of liberation. And we need to remind the world that modern warfare never spares the civilian population. Rape is always a weapon of war, and women’s bodies are used as prizes for the conquerors. Women and children and men, too, who have no say in the policies of their rulers face death, maiming, wounding, and the loss of their homes, livelihoods, and loved ones in a war. Patriarchy is the brother of racism, which sets one group of people above another, dehumanizing and devaluing the ‘other’, who is seen as deserving of punishment, fair game for violence and annihilation. We need feminist voices for peace because the issues of women’s freedom and autonomy are being used cynically to justify anti-Arab racism and military takeovers of Arab countries. The U.S. and its allies, who now pose as the liberators of women in the Muslim world, are the same powers which gave the Taliban, Saddam Hussein, and Al Qaeda their start-up funds, supported them and put them in power, with no consideration for their impact on women.

Also let us not forget the salubrious efforts of Hugh Courtney, without whom we would have little in terms of availability of the Steiner remedies, to say nothing of availability of literature and presence at conferences auch as ACRES. I do not agree that what Alex Podolinsky has done in Australia is any model to copy, as he has run a rigid and even hidebound program where those who venture outside of his box can be excommunicated. But at least he has created a support system for farmers who want to put BD into practice. The BDGFAA (Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association of Australia) arose in response to the need for more openness than Podolinsky allowed, and it wouldn't do to give Podolinsky full credit for their efforts. They have really done a lot--perhaps more than Alex--to spread BD in Australia. Here in the US it has always been my impression--though for a brief period we did have a national extension agent--that there was no real support for farmers from the central organization. If anything there was a cult atmosphere coming from the central offices and I think it discouraged and turned off people right and left. In my own case I have let my membership in the BD Association lapse after 25 years of trying to pull biodynamics forward against the inertia, resistance and cult atmosphere of the central offices. Maybe Greg is being extreme in his criticism, but when Demeter excommunicated him and prohibited Victor Landa from using the term "biodynamic" on any products not certified by Demeter I had my fill of wrongheadedness. I'm calling what I do Quantum Agriculture and I only use the term biodynamic in a transitional way. I don't support the BDA or Demeter in any way at this point. Probably I'm one of those Greg refered to who dropped out because they cannot stomach the dogmatism, obstructionism and cultishness any further. I believe I'm pretty thick skinned or I couldn't have taken it as long as I did. The whole fumble of claiming to be the focus of the CSA movement and then doing nothing--even terminating the CSA conferences--was vexation enough and I should have left then. But there have been enough other blunders, including terminating the national extension program, that I should have identified the BDA as non-viable long ago. As far as I'm concerned they are baggage--excess baggage in my case. I can't see any reason for name calling or getting upset or any of that jazz. I have noticed that I'm reaching a wider audience with field broadcasters by calling my work quantum agriculture instead of BD. I suspect BD has a notorious reputation as being inscrutable, cultish and a big turn-off to many farmers. Really most farmers don't understand quantum mechanics either, but I don't seem to face anything like the rejection of my message by couching it in those terms. My lecture room at ACRES was full this time. I seem to be getting further by leaving BD behind. Does that tell you anything? It's still the same remedies, still the same insights into how nature works, I still talk about Rudolf Steiner and the whole nine yards. I just leave the terminology of biodynamic behind. Quite frankly I think it is just fine that Demeter owns the term. Let them have it. As far as I'm concerned it was a big lead anchor around my waist.

I know of one or two practitioners, but I was unaware of any teaching facilities. When Peaceable Kingdom was going strong in Brenham, it's (then) director used biodynamic methods to some extent. He has since moved to Dripping Springs may be involved in a similar enterprise there as well? Interesting note, when I went to Fredricksburg (alt energy convention), they had a short seminar on an intro to biodynamics. Two guys had purchased land that once was a military base (cement, hard packed dirt, barren, inhospitable.) In 2 - 3 years, they had turned it around to become one of the more productive farmsteads in the area. They were at the seminar, explaining their techniques. I don't think I ever converted my notes to the computer, but I probably have them around in one of my bookshelves. (must go dig now!)
Personal Security vs National Security
Given that domestic espionage is in the vogue, Given that everywhere I go I run into avid readers of BD Now! who never post to BD Now! because they do not want a permanent GOOGLE searchable record of their spiritual and agricultural insights Given that yours truly was recently refused entrance into a public building because a web search revealed that my 'world view does not coincide with ours.' And given that so very many people read the archives but never contribute to the list. (Last time I logged it, the colo archive was getting 2000+ hits per week) It seems to me that it would be best to move into a more 'member oriented' archive instead of a public archive. The major purpose of this list is to speak openly and to share our experiences in some fairly unusual realms. I think everyone is feeling this shyness. I think this holding back is hurting the list. What say, folks? -Allan Balliett moderator, BD Now!

"Given That"
Allan, you need to elaborate on the "refused entrance to WHAT public building?" And, a couple of other lists I have are mandating NO LURKING rules, maybe for the very same thing. If someone audits a list, that's fine, but they need to post occasionally if nothing more than to say, 'explain more, please', or "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?" NO, seriously, don't all the non-chatty folk post that! Allan would personally come to Texas and beat me over the head with a broadcasting treetrunk! !
