Another of the many fun house stories by Dan Dugan In a posting on October 10 to the WC-list, Dan Dugan, secretary of 'PLANS' writes: *Steiner told his adherents that to know the truth, they had to abandon their defenses and accept everything their teacher said. After a couple of years of uncritical acceptance, they were then to ask themselves if it felt true.* The statements by the central representative of the Waldorf critics in US stands out as typical of the fun house pictures of Waldorf education, anthroposophy that he since some years, from a position as a since long secular humanist missionary, advertises as 'information' about Waldorf education as viewed 'from outside the cult of Rudolf Steiner'. The original of the fun house story about Steiner's basic
view of how to develop an understanding of not only the outside, but also
the inside of man and the world, is the first chapter of How
Is Knowledge of the Higher Worlds Attained? Conditions. The full
text of the work can be found online at elib.
