A man way ahead of his time! Good ol’ Rudolf Steiner! Born on my birthday. 2/27.
My kid graduated from a Waldorf School & I home schooled him for 6 years with a Waldorf curriculum before he went back to school in the 7th grade. And finished out there. I love the Waldorf curriculum for child development, & Steiner himself discussed the vaccines we would one day be faced with. The mark of the beast. He warned us! Way back then! Unfortunately, the schools have all gone woke, & are pushing the jabs, masks, & social distancing! It’s insane! Not at all in line with what Steiner taught us. Such a bummer. Glad our kid wasn’t there for all that! He came home & finished up college online in 2020. Whew!
Why do you think the schools went woke? Dont they care what Rudolf wrote about vaccinations? Our local Waldorf went completely off the cliff with die hard covidians, hard to believe!!??
I think the Waldorf Schools are populated with lots of good smart people who believe, unquestionably, in vaccines. I think the school administration doesn’t like being seen as a weird anti vaxx school. They want to mainstream this subject, & have high vaccination compliance rates to demonstrate they’re not weird nor anti vaxx. Maybe AWSNA gets federal dollars for compliance rates? I don’t know. But there is a push for this in the Waldorf schools that was never there before 2020. Dawn Richardson is the Director of National Vaccine Information Center & was at our Waldorf school when we were there. Her girls went to school with my kid. Our school campus was largely anti vaxx until our kids graduated & many of us were no longer there. Then 2020 happened & they went bonkers for the covid vaxx! Held inoculation days on campus & got 80% compliance! I believe there was money behind this push. Always is. But Steiner would never be in favor of money over children’s health. Indoctrination is real & good folks are duped into thinking the government has their best interest at heart. LMAO!
You appear correct, Denise. Perhaps not all the schools have succumbed but a number have. I've viewed some of Douglas Gabriel's videos on Steiner, a noted authority and author on Steiner. I also saw one video where he described the hardships many Waldorf Schools are facing today.
Evidently, many have become "woke" and actually no longer subscribe to anything Steiner wrote. In fact, some actively distance themselves from Steiner because those who want to discredit him misinterpret (as they do with Blavatsky) the idea of "root races" and label him a fascist. Here's one video if others are interested. Censors who denigrate him must fear the power of his ideas.
Note that Gabriel began with the original Waldorf Schools in America shaping a great deal of the original curriculum and training Waldorf teachers. The German Waldorf Schools invited him to act as a consultant. He left the system years ago after many years of teaching and training, but people still teaching began coming to him after many years for advice on the changes they were seeing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGZcJ9nsiDY
If you prefer reading, here's a great article. Dr. Gabriel, Master Waldorf Teacher and Trainer, explains the problems he sees. The "WALDORF SCHOOL OF TAMPA BAY UNOFFICIAL Blog" explains " Master Waldorf Teacher and Trainer, Douglas Gabriel, after 40 years of committment to Waldorf Education, severs his ties with AWSNA."
Thanks for the links you provided. Their allegiance to DEI comes from the World Economic Forum (WEF), & George Soros, who is helping fund this big push in public & private schools. Adhering to DEI means yes, they’re receiving money for signing on to this. And the whole DEI/ESG agenda is nothing short of evil. It’s purpose is to cause division. Not unify. Evil is the inversion of what it purports to be. AWSNA should do more research on this before agreeing to any of it, & only thinking of the money. It’s clear they no longer think about the students anymore. Our local campus has gone way downhill in terms of quality faculty, & the parents seem very woke! The ones still going there. Many families have left. Some formed their own schools. There’s at least two I know of that have formed Waldorf inspired schools nearby. They’re small, but are full of ex Waldorf School families who don’t subscribe to the woke narratives. It’s ironic that the Waldorf Schools are prejudiced against white families because the schools have always been largely populated with white students. Their families have been mostly high income & were the original backbone of this educational model. It wasn’t cheap. We were considered a poor family in the school, although we’re upper middle class. Most of our son’s classmates came from 7 figure income families. The school here in our city was built up by funds from these families. They received very large donations to build & supply the high end campus they enjoy. Waldorf school supplies are specific & expensive. We forked out over $100,000 towards this education for our son, on meager incomes. It was a major stretch for us! To say the least. I am so disappointed with AWSNA & school faculty signing on to the fraudulent DEI scheme. That’s what it is. Steiner is rolling over in his grave right now! He totally warned of this happening. And it’s so true. The families in Waldorf schools now, do not know a thing about Rudolf Steiner. The wokesters running these schools now under mass delusion. What a shame! I’m appalled & disgusted. Glad we got outta there when we did!
Yes, Happy Birthday to you too! I was actually due on the 29th! And it was leap year in 1968. I would’ve loved that, but my Mom was induced on the 27th to avoid a birthday on the 29th! Bummer! I’ll take it though. Pisces is a beautiful sign to be born under. 🙏🏽😊
Psalm 25 speaks about what Dr. Nass is going through. Let this be a reminder that she will triumph over her enemies by staying alive and prospering. Yet what is planned for the world will happen, so the task is to remain in Christ, otherwise the satanic mind control operation going on through web3, smart phones, and any other commercial software application, will defeat any person who is not saved. Psalms Chapter 25 תְּהִלִּים
א לְדָוִד: אֵלֶיךָ יְהוָה, נַפְשִׁי אֶשָּׂא. 1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto Thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
ב אֱלֹהַי--בְּךָ בָטַחְתִּי, אַל-אֵבוֹשָׁה; אַל-יַעַלְצוּ אוֹיְבַי לִי. 2 O my God, in Thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed; let not mine enemies triumph over me.
ג גַּם כָּל-קֹוֶיךָ, לֹא יֵבֹשׁוּ; יֵבֹשׁוּ, הַבּוֹגְדִים רֵיקָם. 3 Yea, none that wait for Thee shall be ashamed; they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.
ד דְּרָכֶיךָ יְהוָה, הוֹדִיעֵנִי; אֹרְחוֹתֶיךָ לַמְּדֵנִי. 4 Show me Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths.
ה הַדְרִיכֵנִי בַאֲמִתֶּךָ, וְלַמְּדֵנִי-- כִּי-אַתָּה, אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעִי;
אוֹתְךָ קִוִּיתִי, כָּל-הַיּוֹם. 5 Guide me in Thy truth, and teach me; for Thou art the God of my salvation; {N}
Meryl, Meryl, Meryl!! You have made my weekend, even my week maybe my month! I have been a student of Rudolf Steiner's for most of my life, and find this verse so perfect for our time! I've shared it with others over the past years and to suddenly find it in your posting today is so wonderful. Thank you thank you so much!
I also know Waldorf schools and none of the ones I know are into injections of any kind (it helps to live in Florida). Healthy foods, outdoor activities, critical thinking skills, yes! Thanks for this little table of Steiner quotes. Blessings!!
This is the second time the word courage came up today. The courage to be authentic and go beyond the pale has been a lifelong lesson for me. It is so much easier to go along to get along and be a part of your tribe. It is courageous to stand one's ground and to change one's mind when it isn't acceptable to the tribe. Thank you for your courage. You are an inspiration.
Thank you for sharing this, Meryl. It’s so easy to get caught up in the noise that comes at us continuously (if we let it) and lose focus on what’s important. Any words of wisdom to help keep me grounded are always welcome. And thank you for your efforts to swiftly cut through the noise on the “virus of the week” aka MPox. You seem to have a gift for reading the types of documents that make my eyes roll back in my head. The world owes you a round of stiff drinks for that service alone!
But Rudolph Steiner doesn't speak about the issue of human sin and salvation in Christ. These dangerous times we are living in are a reminder that we must look forward to Christ's 2nd return and His renewal of all things. If we do it, we can then look forward with confidence, knowing that the things that are happening are for the purpose of making people be in such hard situations that they will finally seek God and kneel before Him, to find salvation, peace, and abundant supply for our needs, even in the thoughest of situations. There is no turning back on the things that are planned in the world, but we can know that ourselves will be spared to see Christ's return alive. But we must serve Him with all our mind, heart, and strenght to accomplish this. God bless you mightily, Meryl.
Thank for your thoughts and I respect your views. This young lady accomplished that by her very life actions as I have read about the depth of the effect that she had on those around her and still does to this day; even 30 years after her death.
And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.
~ 1 Chronicles 28:20
The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie.
They praise God with their lips, but inwardly they promote idolatry. They hide by using Christian verses, while promoting the very opposite they are saying. Beware of ravening wolves.
What's so disastrous about our courage failing us?
Is sitting on our glutes, glued to the latest CNN video of some horror somewhere, any less passive and irrelevant to solving problems, than sitting on our glutes because we lost our courage?
At Omaha Beach on June 6th, 1944, the first wave of US troops to cross the beach lost their lives in a hail of machine gun fire at a rate of 95%. Their courage was squandered in the calculus of war. Out of the 5% who survived the run, about 1/8th of them had been issued a Browning Automatic Rifle. Those 0.0625% of the attacking force, when Second Wave waded off the landing craft, began spraying bullets at German machine-gun emplacements. Their fire became less accurate and the survival rate of Second Wave was much higher.
In the midst of such a hellish event, one has no time to read a bunch of platitudes meant to encourage us to keep our courage. It is our actions, and not the word salad of beliefs we repeat, that make all the difference. Absolutely courage does fail us and events continue to happen
Do good, for yourself and for mankind. Support others who do good (like Meryl Nass) and shun those doing evil. There is a network by which humans are connected. We gain a collective strength by supporting each other. There is no limit, that I can see, to what we may become.
I love that. I've been looking for his book The Cosmic Dream. I think that's the name. It's hard to find his books. My younger daughters kids were going to Waldorf and now they are changing to homeschooling 👍🧡💛 thank you Meryl
Within the last few years, I became acquainted with Steiner and truly admire his work. He's right. The state of being which is unafraid of anything is extremely powerful.

Are you part of 'GIGI Young ' members' ( who also study anthroposophy )? Your 'name' seems familiar.
Yes, I am. I use the same name throughout the internet on many accounts.
Hi Honeybee. ❤️ I'm Miaja on that account. So good to see you here.
Happy Birthday 2/27 I love seeing 27 reminds me
That was my preparation day 2/28 birthday 🎂
Yes, Happy Birthday to you too! I was actually due on the 29th! And it was leap year in 1968. I would’ve loved that, but my Mom was induced on the 27th to avoid a birthday on the 29th! Bummer! I’ll take it though. Pisces is a beautiful sign to be born under. 🙏🏽😊

We can live correctly but that is no assurance that we'll be here for His return. Just live as if we will knowing we may well not.
I try and do that not so much by what I say as opposed to how I live.

Deeds not words, true. But what motivates courageous deeds? The spirit and its values, expressed (however dimly) in words.
I liiiiiiike it. Def gonna print it and place it in many places. To faith 🙏
