Dear friends,

I mentioned before that I am living in Järna .

7 km from Jaerna to the west is Hare Krishna farm and temple.

7 km from Jaerna in opposite direction to the east is Steiner Seminary,and other Anthroposophical institutions..

I was like pendulum (Osho was talking about it somewhere..)

moving from one extreme(Hare Krishna) to the other, Anthroposophy..:)

and after some time I stopped in the middle, in Järna.



Steiner Seminary,and other Anthroposophical institutions..

 

If you like to see some pictures of Anthroposophical place Steiner Seminary (in file section subfolder " Anthroposophy" in Hello from sweden).

Steiner Seminary is a high school (accepted officially ,students can get loan for study in this school too like any other ).

Students can study:. Waldorf pedagogy,Biodynamic farming,Eurythmi (movements like dance..'visible talk ' ),Painting.

Basic of Anthroposophy is common to all sections.

People have been creating this place 60 years according the teachings of their 'spiritual master' Rudolf Steiner.



teachings of their 'spiritual master' Rudolf Steiner.

 

To apply knowledge from 'higher worlds' in everyday life...

To live in harmony with nature..

(Many German people have been in this activities..) 

I was cycle with my friend Suada.She is from Bosnien.

(She was before member of Hare Krishna .)

 Her 'pendulum' moving from Hare Krishna stopped in Järna (still with Krishna ..)

 without going to the other site...)

So I wanted to show her Steiner Seminary where I feel familiar..



I was cycle with my friend Suada.

 

( I studied waldorf pedagogy there after leaving HK).

There is nice surounding..

We found one little bird on the road.The bird didn't know how to fly...

Suada kept him on her finger and he was not afraid.We put him on one tree-branch..

when we opened pictures in the evening..look of this bird was like furious child..

we were laughing...with sympathies..

This is for me participation,

and I understood even more  Osho's words after this experience..



The bird didn't know how to fly...

 

 I could watch long time this beautiful ,majesty  bird -swan,

his different positions ,movements with grace and I was  lost in it..

 flowers in garden.... goats.. water dancing in flowforms...

this is for me participation.

(My friend Suada was sitting on some bench chanting Hare Krishna..waiting for me to stop watching swan...:)

(Thank you, Eva,that you gave attention to this word -Participation, through your 'glasses'...

Now it is clearer to me what Osho says..

and  I can only tell you how I see it through my 'glasses' ,(experience.:)



 I could watch long time this beautiful ,majesty  bird -swan,

 

.... to watch water dancing through flowforms to the ponds and listening her song..

(attached file with water movments..)



... to watch water dancing through flowforms

 

..more about Flowform and revitalizing water read

 Look at this unusual buildings!..(pictures in file section)

If you ask people from Södertälje ...' who are this Anthroposophers...?'

they can say ...."ah,they are this people with strange houses."

(you can see blue unusual form houses from high-way because of open fields)

Steiner said that houses should have individuality..not to be like 'match-boxes'..



."ah,they are this people with strange houses."

 

Interesting coincidence that in front of the door to architects house

I saw little snail with his house on the back..

This house is of another style..

and not according anthroposophical or any human construction..

House where anthroposophical architects work making projects for millions DM

is the same from outside like 50 years ago when they bought this place..

Big red wooden house which was some storage or barn..

they like to work here more then in glass palace in Stockholm,(one of them said once to me.)

..and see this tree lying on the ground with branches  growing upwards..

and so huge..(what kind of 'soul' is this?)



This house is of another style..

 

Aren't this goats beautiful?

They are special Swedish race for giving milk.

I have newer before seen such a goats.

(again my Suada was patiently waiting for me

 while I was waiting for goats to catch them with my camera..and this was difficult task..:)



Aren't this goats beautiful?

 

I forgot my age and start climbing and playing on Waldorf-schools' playground..:)

Everywhere  you can see different flowers and plants..

There is a story I heard 20 years ago ..

that when prime minister from Bulgaria visited Sweden ...

he was asked what he would like most to see in Sweden?



I forgot my age and start climbing

 

He answered :Uppsala (an old university town) and Steiner Seminary..

After visiting Steiner Seminary and after some time he went back to Bulgaria..

he sanded 300 different sorts of roses to be planted on Steiner Seminary..

Many of roses could not survive in Swedish climate...

but I have seen 50 sorts of this sending 20years ago.(now is maybe 5..left)

enjoy some pictures from visiting Steiner Seminary in Jaerna (in file section-subfolder Anthroposophy,folder 'hello from Sweden).

love
