Living on Earth Sensibly

This is the website of Glen Atkinson , Astrologer, Homeopath, Gardener, Philosopher. His endevours have been focused on developing the agricultural and medical work of the turn of the century German philosopher, Dr Rudolf Steiner.

Glen began working with Dr Steiner's indications in 1976 and has since made developments in several fields .  His innovation and understanding of Dr Steiner's suggestions have come firstly from recognising the fundamental similiarity, between the traditional Astrological world view and Steiner's suggestions. Then from experimentation and observation. A simple yet innovative theory of manifestation - The Atkinson Conjecture - has become the basis for his many practical activities.

Glen accepts that all the forces and energies talked of in the Dr Steiner's Agriculture Course exist within the electro magnetic spectrum, and that the physical Universe is big enough to be 'God'. Hence his approach relies on what can be known and proven, while rejecting faith based solutions. The 'Online Books' section, contains several free books outlining the basis of this world view.

The homeopathic system, that arises from this study is available to agriculture and humans through BdMax ltd, in several countries.

'Case Studies', has formal and informal plant research studies, undertaken to support our theoretical strivings.

The  'Pictures' section provides artistic images that summarise many of the chapters in the books. There are three 'Biodynamic Thought Puzzles' available there, that provide a visual observational pathway to a new approach to seeing the world, through Steiner's Agriculture and Glen's Chemistry. His research into Chemistry has lead to the online book 'Biodynamic Chemistry' in which the Periodic Table of chemical elements was first re-organised into a 'Circular Periodic Table' and then into a '3D Gyroscopic Periodic Table'. A plastic three dimensional gyroscopic sculpture is available to animate this 'being'.

Dr Steiner's agricultural indications are contained within a series of 8 lectures known as the 'Agriculture Course'. To aid in their understanding and appreciation, we have provided these often difficult lectures with a commentary, that seeks to harmonise them into a cohesive comphrehensible whole. More recently Glen has reorganised and lightly edited the theoretical parts of the original text, to enable an easier appreciation of the message contained with in. ( see the side box )

Within the Books section there are a series of 'Articles', that comment on many contemporary issues, often with Astrological indicators as their basis. A  blog area for discussion of anything you find on this site, is also available

We trust you will enjoy your visit and find something of interest.

Why Garuda?

Garuda is a Hindu god, who as an incarnated EAGLE manifestation of the primary god Vishnu. He performs several essential functions in life.

In India he is represented as a protector of the godly and all that is good for life.

In Indonesia he is represented as the Eagle who carries Vishnu to the Earth, thus he is "Bringing Spirit to Earth".

The Eagle also represents the ability to fly high and gain a far seeing vision , or large overview perspective of Life, while being able to also see the specific details of the environment.

This last quality I see mirrored in a suggestion by Rudolf Steiner (RS)

"... when we want to understand the plant, we must bring into question not only plant animal and human life, but the whole universe. For life comes from the whole universe not only the Earth. Nature is a unity and her forces are at work from all sides. He who can keep his mind open to the manifest workings of these forces will understand her. " R.S. Pg 70 1938 Agriculture. (1)

'This statement has long been a 'guiding thought' for me in my working with his indications, which so beautifully brings Spirit to Earth and help life processes function at their optimum.' (GA)
