Hi Dan - I agree that it's probably best to withdraw from this philosophical
confusion.
When I have worked ( quite a bit) with Anthropops. I have done it on an
individual basis as they are drawn to it and have not advertised it in a
Anthropop journal or antything.
Just fliers at my local Waldorf (Steiner school).\
Let those who come come and leave the others to their own Soul "KARMA"
Blessings - Helena

For all who remain interested in the saga of Dan's encounter with the San
Francisco Anthroposophist, here is the final chapter.
I woke up this morning, New Year's Day to the realization that I needed to
extricate myself from this off-track event. My co-producer supplied the
rationale when he sent to my In-Box a 1,500 word polemic on the topic of the
laws of social exchange. The prose was dense. Here's a 1% sample: "The basic
form of such conversation (I call it "pure conversation") is thus etheric
unity, and the corresponding etheric levity, and astral relatedness or
ontological (astral) force."
When I scrolled to the bottom to find out where this was all going I read
this: At the beginning of the event, if anyone in attendance has strong and
principled objections to Constellations, "the focus should go to the one
objecting, to the one attempting to exercise a veto, until either that person
is convinced to go along with the program freely and willingly, or that person
is shown to be out of step with everyone else." If you knew my father, the
late Henry Cohen, this statement would be particularly hilarious. His tribal
name was, "One-Attempting-to-Exercise-a-Veto-Who-Will-NOT-be-Convinced." He
has a place in my heart, but I flee from designing an event to manifest his
presence.
I responded: "I take it as a given that those who have not responded
positively to the purpose of the program will exercise their veto by not
attending. Those who are in the room, by their very presence, are voting to
proceed as advertised. I have been clear that "debate and vote" is not an
activity I am willing to engage in under these circumstances. That I even have
to explain myself on this point leaves me flustered, as if I were arguing with
you why you should not help yourself to the first slice of wedding cake."
I'm withdrawing from the event and moving on. Thanks to all for your support
and comments. They have served the essential purpose of Constellation Talk,
which is to create a forum for facilitators to seek support, guidance and
insight.
A healthy and fulfilling 2006 to everyone!
Thanks for all.
Dan
