Ding ding ding ---I know Rudoph Steiner - been aware of him since the 70s -brilliant man. gregg, look him up and all his books.
I mean a skin care line even follows his findings or teachings!! -Dr. Haushka Cosmetics sp? - found in Health Food stores now. The best line made imo.
Of course, - very expensive - all organic herbs and flowers, but harvested at certain mooncycles for optimal properties --stored for a year if not the best quality - thrown out. Girls, please try it sometime from the samplers!!
But I digressed. Oh, the Montessori schools are based on his methods. A real Renaisance Man. Digressed again...

gregg, Yes, yes, yes, thank you for this subject - this and mainly this is is what I want to scream to strangers about, that is how excited I am about this subject.
I have found that so many fellow Christians have no idea how to really apply all that Jesus came here to show us. Again, I am a new Christian - the Bible is all new to me and full of wonders. I try to say to my intellectual friends ---that could tell you every aspect of every doctrine of every religion AND spout names of books and their authors on their view on any particular religion..."Could you just seek the Kingdom of Heaven for a week?"
And they never can.
If a brother or sister could just REALLY contemplate what it means to give Jesus your burdens -or to NOT worry ----even for a week. Just contemplate what that would be like ---THEN actually do it for a week ---what changes would happen! (As they have in my life.)
My thing is ---we are like foot soldiers or students ---our Commander or Teacher came with instructions --from our Maker!
If we were in battle and we got an order to aim and fire and we did not - we could die!
Same with a student - you must do what the teacher says or you don't pass! Or if it's a mechanic teacher - you never learn how to really rebuild a carburetor. See what I mean? Or your cake will never rise!
We must follow Jesus' teacings/instructions precisely - with total confidence that they work.
When we don't - it seems to make Jesus' reason for coming here a waste. I mean we've had 2000 years to not worry Matt 6:25, be anxious for nothing Phil 4:6, give Him our burdens Matt 11:28, delight in the Lord Ps 37:4 , Be still and know He is God Ps 46:10, to be in perfect peace. Is 26:3, cast your cares on Him 1 Pet 5:7.
Focus - if Man could but focus. Direct his energies, place his mind on what has been instructed -oh, the changes in one's life - and then this world.
