source file: mills2.txt Date: Thu, 17 Apr 1997 11:04:16 -0700 Subject: Steiner From: John Chalmers Steiner broke from the Theosophy movement following Annie Besant's deification of Jiddu Krishnamurti, a young Hindu boy more or less kidnapped from his parents by Besant and Leadbetter. In his maturity, Krishnamurti denied he was a deity, but did set up a headquarters in Ojai, California, a town in a valley near Santa Barbara, California. Ojai (pronounced Oh-HI) seems to be inhabited primarily by occultists and chiropractors, including my sister. Besant, I might add, was an amazing person. She was a founder of the Indian Congress Party, an early feminist, a friend of George Bernard Shaw, etc. According to a Theosophical book catalogue, a woman named Annie von Lange introduced Steiner to JI. Brian Lee and I have been researching the connections between Steiner's Anthroposophy movement and Kathleen Schlesinger's friend and collaborator Elsie Hamilton. While we have located some of Hamilton's scores (in KS's diatonic harmoniai), we have not been able to find the ones mentioned and excerpted in "The Greek Aulos." --John Received: from ns.ezh.nl [137.174.112.59] by vbv40.ezh.nl with SMTP-OpenVMS via TCP/IP; Thu, 17 Apr 1997 22:01 +0200 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA02564; Thu, 17 Apr 1997 22:01:14 +0200 Received: from ella.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA02562 Received: from by ella.mills.edu via SMTP (940816.SGI.8.6.9/930416.SGI) id MAA27702; Thu, 17 Apr 1997 12:59:36 -0700 Date: Thu, 17 Apr 1997 12:59:36 -0700 Message-Id: Errors-To: madole@mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@ella.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@ella.mills.edu
