The atmosphere at the Living Seed was unlike anything I had encountered previously. At first contact, I knew that the place was very special and I felt a deep connection. It was particularly magical to see how many other people had a similar experience, even though their spiritual orientation was very different. In retrospect, my life at the Seed was a Whitsun experience - seeing how the Spirit touched people in so many different ways.
As a contrast, I sometimes reflect on my first visits to Hill House. I remember a talk by Dr. Katz about the Supersensible School in the spiritual world. I felt this Imagination go sailing right over my head...figuratively speaking. As the months passed, I began to experience the spiritual warmth of the esoteric community and decided to join the Anthroposophical Society. This decision has led to many rich blessings.
One can experience these two moods as a polarity, and there is always potential for conflict and separation. We can also see this as a creative tension - leading to wonderful new social impulses.

By way of bringing together your two worlds, Mark, I remember meeting Bruce one time at Hill House. The door was locked, and when I knocked, Bruce answered the door and asked me "Are you a member?". Apparently there was a members meeting in progress. That was my first realization that there was something to become a member of, that something being the Anthroposophical Society. I felt it like a revelation at the time.
Having lived through this period when my father was starting this business was for me a very special experience.
