The Essential BioDynamics: Partner With Earth & Universe

BD enters into little-known aspects of earthly life, making it a practice of truly authentic phenomena and new adventure for most of us.

being so, BD is a most-favorite subject to discuss and pass on,
by seeing how simpl it all goes at the Fundamental level,
to see our relation to the entire Cosmos-

ideas like entanglement & energetics can now be seen as intimate details of us,

now we as cosmic creations, can be recognized cousins to the soil below our feet, as well as the furthest boiling red giant, black hole or pulsar.

this recognition takes no theoretical advanced degree no calculus, no laboratory conditions. yet we can still chart our own cosmic life on everyday earth,

we are free to launch our green-growing cousins into journeys of soil root & sky,

using the long years of observation and trial already done by others.

you are evolving, faster than you can feel. these are among your tools.
engage and reach ever further....

How did WE all start?

What's the Origin of All These Dynamics at War, throughout the Grand Roil
known as The Universe?

well......don't look at ME, i don't think we're any closer to a realsitic answer NOW, then we have been before in our Dark (Modern) Ages.

butt, WHO or WHAT holds the Grand Design, to pattern all which we experience now- there's a rich path worth following...

                                     ENTANGLEMENT

"Fascinating, Captain."

From way back in Origin Times, particles created in the turbulence,
and dynamics- all the forces acting within the Vacuum or Spacetime,
affecting these particles-

were violently separated from the chunk of matter they were structural
members of, and flung out to end up on Planet Earth.

However, the relational dynamics between separated particles
were maintained through fierce vacuum fluctuations (energetic state differences between PSUs at Quantum scale) and Epochs of Time...

and this Entanglement occurs at a staggering density- most all matter
in This Energetic Universe is multiply-entangled
and well, that Story takes awhile in the telling...

have a listen-

The Radiative, or matter-related view of events- and of BioDynamics- in this Cosmos.

THIS SCIENTIFIC view, until recently the only window that humans had to explain everything, is based on the obvious, or only that which we can perceive with the five senses.

COMPARE this talk with what has been said in the lectures above, to get an idea of the scope of the paradigm shift that Science certainly is engaging now - and hopefully the human species- after beliefs and loyalties to outmoded realities are finally squelched- is soon to follow.

April 2020 UPDATE: One intrepid BD Course Enthusiast, Maria Seiter, has located the Indian 2020 BD Calendar for us, so life does continue for awhile longer. Thank you Maria!

2021 UPDATE: the BD calendar has been uploaded and is ready for use.

Enjoy!

This is a BD overview, or primer (I love this stuff!), intended to assist you with terminology & BD concepts. Of course, I recommend that you PRINT IT OUT & read it in full, to alleviate possible future confusion-

but I'm also a firm believer in personal prerogative........a fancy way of saying, download it, chuck it in your course folder- (DO keep a course folder or notes!), and plow forward. It will be there when you need it.

You may find this reference quite handy, towards the adventure of being a BD Practitioner & BioFarmer. Enjoy!

A plethora of curious stuff i've tripped over, in my cosmic wanderings. i hope you find the same piques of interest as have captured my own musings here!

This covers the first four moon rhythms:
Apogee-Perigee
Ascending & Descending Moon
Moon Opposite Saturn &
Moon Nodes.

Admittedly,  it is a bunch to take on in one sitting- you are encouraged to please, pause the video when necessary and TAKE COPIOUS NOTES, as personal tips  to remember what each rhythm means out there in the field, or in your own life.

Enjoy it well, and please remember that whenever something doesn't make sense- to post discussions in the dashboard.....

This covers the final two moon rhythms:
Moon Over Zodiac
Full Moon - New Moon

These  are both major rhythms, and take a bit of explaining. Moon Over Zodiac  gives us our elemental influences of Air, Water, Fire and Earth- in that  order- as the moon passes in front of certain groups of stars in the  zodiac.

Twelve zodiac constellations, so the four elements are each  repeated 3 times, before the whole rhythm repeats itself. 

A full cycle of 4 elements repeating 3 times each, is defined as  a month, or moonth.

Full  Moon-New Moon is the rhythm everybody knows, where we see the moon  changing phases night after night, from the disappearing new moon all  the way to spectacular full moon, and back again.

In farming, we are  mostly concerned only with the new and full moons, however, as these are  extreme days which bring particular conditions upon the earth.

Enjoy it well, and please refer to the BD Primer, at the beginning of this section, for more details.

Remember that whenever something doesn't make sense- to post questions in the dashboard!

THIS is in response to a heads-up about the Southern Hemisphere-

which blew my mind- i had no idea!
so........lecture made, problem sorted. now we can all be
made aware that the southerners get a diff perspective,

AND a reminder that, info DOES tend to get skewed in favor of
the north. lesson well learned - -

PERSPECTIVE on the crazy spin of REALITY,

the mad whirl of Sun at the brutal command of the Universe, with Earth and company as solar pulltoys....

Collaborating in our Physical Relationships, BioDynamical gifts,

Instigating life's dramas and emotions,

why the Grand Roil doesn't crush us in our very footsteps-

why the dance carries on.....

Here is a correlation between how four different traditions view the Four Elements, in a chart which i hope you can decipher. (udemy is not allowing pdf or formatting any longer). 

here you can equate different aspects of the four elements to aspects of human life & earth realtionships.......

comment on what you think!

I suppose the C word has to be used, just to break the ice.

that is to say, 'conspiracy' is apparently the Great Switch, a program-trigger at least in the Western mind, (not sure if Asia uses this one)
which shuts down the common citizens' critical thinking process, upon being uttered.

fascinating, captain. as Spock would say.

i utter it here and take my chances. so, now it's out of the way.

this diatribe, far from being quotable text of notable scientific literature,
is nevertheless a serious contemplation with implications as to our collective past, present and future.

a conclusion based on logic and observation that i am sharing with you, and your thought and response is hoped for.

what then, say you here?

The BD Calendar is a compendium of of Universal forces, elements and influences, compiled by scientists of the Cosmos and the nether-reaches,
and mapped out onto a kind of chart, transforming the Cosmic Dance into the westernized human timeframe of Gregorian days, months and years.

BD practitioners, like yourself, navigate the cosmic seas by these charts, which tell us the energetic basis of earthly experience, now and into the ever-arriving, ever-changing present.

to focus our attentions to Universe, even by so little as a brief morning glance before dashing out to onslaught our worlds, is to acknowledge the Dance of Now, to pry open the grapples of human society and his  ever-stifling human programmation-

in favor of greater truths & the indefatigable All-That-Is, and our place in it, where thoughts of our weaknesses or insignificance are irrelevant.

back here on the ground, BD is partnered as practical ally, where knowing rhythms and elements can save our fields and food, our sanity & well-being, maybe even our very survival.

wow, that's heavy, im.

well, maybe- so keep it easy and breezy, stay joyous...but please don't take it lightly.

Carrying onward, we now move to the everyday aspect of calendar use.

the intention in this, is to become day-by-day friendly with the stark white-and-blackness of symbols and time.

our neighbours the planets
of interest as well yet not mentioned in this context, is the presence of planets at the calendar bottom, and which zodiac constellation each of our neighbours sits over during this gregorian month in human time.

one example of the myriad vistas and avenues of Cosmos to explore.
although not visited specifically in this course, you may decide for yourself if engaging with planets may also be in your chosen pool of interests.....

STRATEGY,

in the context of a BD calendar, means looking ahead and knowing when to do your specific desired actions, whether that be your plans to live rhythmically, or to obtain optimal results in the farming.

with the forward knowledge of when the elements, within either an ascending or descending moon, and all the others  rhythms- are occurring,

your eyes-open approach to life-with-Cosmos may proceed in a scheduled manner- or at least without game-breaking surprises.

Our fourth installment in BD calendaring, brings us to a further understanding of how, month by month, the various  rhythms can cancel each other- or complement each other- as we chart our course of Cosmic engagement.

A SUGGESTED BD PLANNING: in your BD notebook, or in a conspicuous designated place in full view, post your monthly notes for farming and lifestyle activities,

for easy reminding of what energies are present each day, and how you have decided to engage and dance with it.

BE your own private secret agent- crack the codes of the Universe, and enjoy the dance!

A CHAT about our common everyday calendar, the Gregorian one, its structure and history,
Romans v Pagans, and how the BD Calendar is seamlessly adapted to Gregorian.

'TIS that time, to bring out the daddy. although we're talking
about a rhythm created by a slight Earth wobble.

From that lil wobble comes a cornucopia of BD and human cultural result-
a timeclock, a laser-focus on All-Things-Equinox, yugas, the sun over zodiac,
the Age of Aquarius.......

it just goes on. and, a bit complex it be. so have thy patience intact, this
one takes awhile in the telling.,,,,

THIS discusses Precession and the Equinox, and the significance of one constellation being what the Sun is traversing over, on this ONE particular day out of the year.

What happens when the Earth Shift or wobble goes all the way around to describe a full circle? and what does that mean to us, in our cultures and our humanly behaviours?

Fascinating, Captain.

The far-reaching human Cultural Imprints as influenced by Precession, and
will we in fact survive as a species to see the next Age?

well.....the answers to that debacle aren't exactly forthcoming in here, but
we can glean a bit of understanding on the process.

HAVE YOU ever gazed up at that , what, 4th brightest object in the sky, Polaris? I am sure you have, as most of us have.

Did you know that it is presently describing an extension of the Earth's Axis?

The hit parade of Precessional phenoms and features comes to a finale, with this last morsel of what Imbalance brings to our Earthly Table.

HERE IS A REAL kick in the head- after allll that talk of balance, balancing this and that to achieve that and this optimal-nesses,

NOW we come to find out that a slight IMbalance could be the driver for all of Earth's quirks and signature Dynamics, and it's called Precession. 

ENJOY this summation off the Pre sessions, hit me with your thoughts and comments - im

Dr. Rudolph Steiner, innovator, liberator, originator of concept and practice, a defining force-of-nature and gamechanger for his time.

an introduction here of this pillar of an earlier age- that we might not dismiss BD as something flippant or ill-conceived....

Relating Steiner now, as practitioner of Life in a deeper sense, whereas he operated, spoke and wrote from a whole-picture view before this "practice" had a name-

and re-introduced the vast canvas of All-That-Is, to the attentions of modern, human earth.

Sadly, the greatest and brightest among us are most often the target of fools....

Steiner, saddled with the arsenal of potential to liberate all humanity- were it only willing to be so free- oddly brought BD into existence without even intending the science...

This summarizes the works of the three icons in BioDynamics (from a SimPLife perspective) -

Dr. Rudolph Steiner, the multifacted godsend from Austria,

Maria Thun, the farming scientist from Darmstadt, Germany, who took up where
Steiner had left off, and

Peter Proctor, the gregarious communicator from New Zealand.

Today, BioDynamics is a global scientific community of independent  practitioners, and continues to grow and change, largely due to the  foundations begun by these three individuals and many others along the  way.

The way is open for YOU and your fellows, to further the explorations of this life-as-practice,
integration of the Cosmos as partner,
towards a life and planet in harmony...

This summarizes the works of the three icons in BioDynamics (from a SimPLife perspective) -

RESULTS of the world-roaming 1831 HMS Beagle trip with little Charlie Darwin, and what it meant for the West at the time-

AND how it still, irritatingly, persists today...

WHAT DARWIN MISSED- what about Cooperation and Interdependency, the most important feature of natural inter-species survival and thrival?

and gee, why we STILL DON'T recognize these most basic salient facts in the unnaturally-juvenile global culture

IT'S SIMPL-y CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY STUFF...

certain culture-wide behaviours- either organic or forced- can nowadays be graded or analyzed in terms of maturity.

HOW MATURE, do you imagine, that we look today?

         peer-reviewed, fully documented, properly proofed.

Another significant contributor to our understanding of Cosmos
and just everything, Nassim Haramein - and collaborating like-minded scientists, past and present, from around the world- have turned the human conception of science and physics on it's EAR.

Obviously, this makes him an outcast in classical science world,
yet Nassim and associates have arrived with ONE way to explain ALL of it. yes, what we used to call the once-unobtainable "Unified Field". peer-reviewed, fully documented, properly proofed.

and remember, every new concept in This Human World starts out perceived as insanity, blasphemy or the clever babblings of a con artist.

What will be known globally in it's own time is, this Unified quest for a wholistic, full-picture, energetically viable view of our Universe, has successfully displaced many of the long-held views of the darlings of Standard Science (that's what you and I learned in school), and is forging ahead with our natural evolution, by furthering our understanding of how this Universe really works.

TWO major perspectives on why BD hasn't swept this modern human world like a wildfire...presented as honest and direct perspective, without apology or disclaimer.

It is hoped here, that you as bio-practitioner, as your own decision-maker and personal secret agent, will carry a private simpl note through this, which reminds one that if Life is our own grand shopping experience, then we each walk into all pertinent lifeshops, and take away the products that we CHOOSE to reflect us, guide and shape and BE us- enroute to our preferred experience on this mortal coil.

All the spiritualists would be up in arms to hear this- but it's true. Without judgments, we cease to be unique, quirky individuals, to be the one-off me that took Creation billions of years to achieve.

and here it is just happening again. So pray tell...how do YOU judge BD?

Speaking of ENTANGLEMENT....

yeah, politics.

the gruesome creatures we see and hear about and cannot escape, much as we'd like to......

the multiple legs n eyes weaving, luring, enwebbing & ensnaring.

and here we see the unsavory subject even slither into a BD course.

entangling, indeed.

Your intro for the four-element integration to the human life, followed by the meaning of the first two elements, Earth & Air.

what happens when one element, in the form of expressed energy, arrives in our midst? this is answered via multiple sources- spiritual, astrological, pagan & wiccan.

some pointers as to our own being mindful while each energy is present, is also parlayed to you, to get this concept of the cosmos-as-guide rolling...

Summing up the four-elements in our daily repetoire,
also detailing the relationship of one element to the other:

Fire & Water- masculine/feminine, the true elements engaging and comprising this cosmos as the eternal dance of All-That-Is Air- masculine Breath of Life, separating all other elements, allowing for individual form and space Earth- feminine Cycle of Life, the unifying agent of Oneness, bringing equanimity to all cosmic manifestations

what activity is best performed or started during which element-day? this is corresponding to the nature of work:

Earth- physical labour, companioning
Air- cerebral, conceptual, design Water- caregiving, nurturing Fire- project birthing, artistic, general initiation of works

SUPERFOODS, what can be thought of as power plants delivering crucial, vital boosts, are rapidly on the rise in the mindscape, lifestyle and preference of the global human.

For some cultures and those so inclined, these foods have been known since ancient times for properties above and beyond what we might consider normal sustenance & nutrition.

NOT DIET ADVICE, (for those legalmongers looking for slackers

to fillet on the spit of medical and food industry cartel-protections)

rather these are suggestions, choices one might make to achieve lifebalance through intake.

NOT INTERESTED? fine. on to the next, then.

bon apettit!

WHAT IS A COLOUR, then.....

science-wise, colour is decribed as being those frequencies of light which are reflected back to the viewer, upon being seen.

Energetically and BD-wise, colour may be thought of as the the trumpet

which heralds the existence of a present energy in our midst.

WEARING COLOUR to express energy is about PAYING ATTENTION,  advertising our INTENTION to others and focusing ourselves.

we focus our attention on today's energy presence, re-pointed as mindful of energy & those inherent properties,
and that runs in background.

COLOUR thus is a simpl & easy balancing; attention on our source energies brings us more familiar to life's knowing.

Humans NEED activity, for clarity of heart, mind & body.

the recentmost global program of inactivity, exacted upon human populations throughout the world, threatens us with a great deal of damage- mainly towards our survival as a species.

BE ACTIVE!
exercise,
live a style which includes work projects,
volunteer in farming or building projects,
be available always to lighten the load of another.

and yes! this is perhaps the BEST way to exercise MULTIPLICITY,
as human-in-earnest:
BE of SERVICE, actively, to those in need, as a main function of
your existence.

CONTINUING on the road of re-balancing our daily life through activity.

what's this got to do with the four elements?

this video is one suggestion to you, of scheduling in a more PRACTICAL, physical use of your body-
Being in Service.

This is best started on the day corresponding to the nature of work:

Earth- physical labour, companioning

Air- cerebral, conceptual, design

Water- caregiving, nurturing

Fire- project birthing, artistic, general initiation of works

COMMUNAL SERVICE- or just SERVING OTHERS- perhaps above all other activities to result from this course,

is the most hoped-for response which you may choose for your own re-balancing.

FOR HALF of my own life, i have been a volunteer in projects involving indigenous groups, intentional community, and various ideas that seemed good at the time. never regretted a single one of those, even if results were not what i would choose;

ultimately i am the biggest student in the mix every time, still taking it all in, wanting to understand it as it is intended.

OK, time for a farming quiz on applying what you have learned about BioDynamics.

Real life, hard-hitting facts are thrown down, and your executive decision sets the whole farm process going the way YOU decide.

The Background of Place: BD in Paradise

Ladakh has been my personal favorite place to be, for the last three warm seasons. Unfortunately, I haven't the strength to tough out the extreme winters there, or I would persist year-round in Ladakh and just forget about the rest of the planet......

that's real love, when we are willing to give up everything for one ideal, one person, one place...

Here, we learn how the specifics of place affect our farming, many of which may have nothing to do with farming itself- yet we must all make decisions to deal with life, no

Responses to BD questions asked in the previous lecture.

The official SimPLife opinions are given, based on experience and highest probabilities.

However, NO wrong answer really exists- there is only your decision, setting action towards result.

This is somewhat of a hodgepodge of other factors to consider in this quizzical scenario,    and in farm scenarios in general.

One of the factors here is whether the SimPLife HOT Planting Mix is appropriately used here, all factors considered.
The Mix, to be applied either as early-season soil treat,
or same-day, urgent planting partner:
Animal Manure - may be cow, goat, horse, bird, human (humanure), pig, sheep. NO dogs or pet cats. lion ok.
Cellulose - dried cereal, like grain stalks, grasses, hay or straw.
Ash - fireplace or campfire ashes, from wood. make sure NO plastics are in there!

Urine - large mammal or human. NO dogs or pet cats. lion ok.

---------SECTION INTRO-----------

Time to Apply! the BD techniques and rhythms you have learned thus
far. In the Nepal chapter, we are in Panauti Valley, NEPAL, about 36 km
outside of the capital Kathmandu, and we've got a really beautiful,
terraced hillside farm at 5 Elements Organic Bastion, with a commanding
view of the surrounds.

Perfect stage-set for showing you how the BD work proceeds to the farm, and for you to practice what you've gained out of the course.

5EOB is owned and managed by my friend Pat Kauba (local name Charlie Baba), and we're eventually converting his entire veggie farm to BD and Ladakhi Organic farming methods. Thus far, we're seeing such great results that we are on the edge of our seats waiting for harvests, as though we could push our lovely produce to bloom and flourish any quicker...

Ready to Take Part?

The first vid is about forming cells, the next two are about planting in specific BD conditions. Have fun!

--------------This Lecture--------------

Let's Build a Ladakhi-style Farm Cell, in Nepal, using BD strategies!

This is the general idea anyway, of slamming together this lovely patch of greenhouse land- and converting it into BD planting cells using the Ladakhi Organic farming method.

Enjoy this, it was kind of a lot of work, but a labour of love, innit...

How To Plant Root Seeds BioDynamically!

SEE how the cell is formed, what goes into the cell planting area, how to plant the actual seeds, and the recommended watering.

This little action, of creating cells and furnishing them with luscious rich groundfeeds like cowdung-cellulose mix- prior to planting organic heirloom ladakhi (etc.) seeds....is a passion onto itself.

Here, two friends actually do the deal, while I gloss lazy and bossy on the camera, explaining what they're doing. SimPL and easy as you please!

But PLEASE, use these actions as practice sessions, for determining your own plantings BioDynamically. USE the BD calendar, become familiar with how to read, interpret, and strategize with it......

ABOVE ALL, HAVE SOME BLEEDIN FUN!

ENGAGE STRATEGY!

THIS is what happens here, as we negotiate what to do with leftover root crop seeds- plus a pile of flowers & herbs seeds we'd also like to plant, on a

MOON OPPOSITE SATURN rhythm.

This day is April 2, 2017, and CHECK YOUR BD CALENDAR for what the possibilities might be on this day.....

GO AHEAD and look it over now, THEN play the vid, to see how this day was strategized- see if you can agree with how the planting went......!

THIS is BD Science at its finest- scheduling our actions to best benefit, then we may best apply the beneficial energies swirling around us.

boo-yah!

- -THE BIG MOON OPPOSITE SATURN PROVEOUT- -

There is nothing like physical proof, when it comes to deciding if something works or not, hey. AT LEAST in this case, we can easily see our results, of utilizing the best planting day of the month (which is, what rhythm, folks??) for our best benefit.

In this example, our best benefit came in the form of planting different types of seeds at once, on April 2, 2017- and we see that the resultant plants are slightly larger than similar seeds planted the day before, on April 1.

CHECK IT OUT for yourself! and, know that you can trust in this Cosmos, at the very least for the planting of your own beautiful, natural foods in Divine Earth.

Another scintillating BD quiz: this time for the particular conditions of the urban farmette. A few questions or conditions are posed here, for your consideration, regarding the BD calendar, local environment, and personal conditions.

The Background of Place: Itaewon, Seoul, KOREA

This particular planting is a test scenario-
to apply BD principles to see what results what potential we can achieve,
as we endure the usual pollutions, confined space, noise,
neighbourly damages and encroachments.

second-story ground lends quite well to greens & legumes, at least.

an ecncouraging foray into food production
in an extreme DIY-unfriendly environment & culture.

Here, opinions regarding the BD quiz, are offered, based on experience, and overall
conditions that come to bear on the farmette.

Also, a brief but essential chat on rocks. Just what you always needed.
