| In a discussion on the WC-list, a Sharon Lombard has
commented on a mail I sent to her, pointing to a page I have set up at
my site, describing how Rudolf Steiner viewed the actual reincarnation
of people in successive lives, as exemplified by some examples he describes
in some lectures from 1920.
As answer, I sent her the following mail:
Subject: Reincarnation globally
Hi Sharon, I see that you recently in a posting (http://www.topica.com/lists/.../message.html?mid=1713151028) commented on a mail I sent you at one time, pointing to a translation I have put up at my site at http://hem.passagen.se/thebee/Steiner/reincarnation-globally.htm You comment that you didn't post it because it seemed like a set-up. The quotes that I have translated and put up at http://hem.passagen.se/thebee/Steiner/reincarnation-globally.htm are quote 137, 138, 141, 142, 143 and 144 found on the pages 290-91 and 292-95 in the Dutch interim report on Anthroposophy and the question of races (http://hem.passagen.se/thebee/comments/Holland/index.html). Peter Staudenmaier probably has the report in German. You can ask him for info on the existence of the quotes in question according to the report, and if he has any comments on my translation in terms of not being correct. You need not take a note claiming copyright to the translation as being threatening, Sharon. It's just a matter of principle, that the one who has copyright to a text has the right to decide where his or her specific words are allowed to be published. But the text is fully available and accessible to anyone who uses the link to it. It is free to describe and comment, but not quote the translation. Nothing strange about that, as it is available for free to anyone to read at the page at my site, if you give the link to it. Feel free to quote this mail in full on the WC-list. Greetings, Sune
