ALPHABETICAL INDEX OF ASSOCIATIONS, GROUPINGS, AND ALTERNATE NAMES Go to http://www.santacruzspirituality.net/namelist.htm. 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The basic format of this book is electronic. It can be reached two ways, through www.santacruzspirituality.net or the Santa Cruz Public Libraries website. There are non-commercially printed copies in libraries that have particular use for it as a reference, and anyone can print a copy from the PDF of the whole. The Santa Cruz Public Libraries’ electronic version is identical in content, but has been adapted for the convenience of online users. Santa Cruz spirituality is listed in WorldCat; its OCLC number is 94531155; its Library of Congress classification is BL2527.C2; its Dewey Decimal classification is 200.0979. 7 Chapter 1. Background and method of this study The purpose of this study is to promote knowledge and understanding of the group spirituality expressed in associations that are or have been in Santa Cruz County. My intention is to distribute and make available for public and private use, for citation or quotation, the content of this work free of charge on the Internet. I understand this method of distribution to constitute publication as described in the second sentence of the terms set forth in the U. S. Copyright Office circular 01, Copyright Basics, "'Publication' is the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending. The offering to distribute copies or phonorecords to a group of persons for purposes of further distribution, public performance, or public display constitutes publication." I ask only that this work be mentioned by those who cite it. One matter which I think the user of this study will find helpful here in the beginning is a working definition of spirituality. Let us, then, say that the spirituality of people includes the conviction that 1. there is more to the world they live in than what the eye sees, 2. they themselves can relate to the unseen aspects of it, 3. in so doing their own being is enhanced. Thus conceived, spirituality, no matter how diverse the forms it takes, is shared by all the groups listed below. The notion of spirituality is treated at length in Chapter 5 Particulars. 8 Background of the project This project owes its origin to Researchers Anonymous, a non-incorporated, non-codified group of Santa Cruz County people who care enough about local history to delve into it, share their findings with one another, and commit the findings to one or another permanent, retrievable form. The home of Researchers Anonymous is the Santa Cruz County Museum of Art and History. Retiring to Santa Cruz in 1996, my wife and I found ourselves to be captivated by local history, and we soon joined Researchers Anonymous. After gaining some experience in using local resources, I realized that I was in a position to make a special contribution because of my education and professional activities. Besides being a Catholic priest for 15 years I had earned the Ph.D in philosophy from the Pontifical Gregorian University of the Vatican City, and I had taught college level philosophy with a particular interest in ethics over a period of 35 years. Thus I suggested to Researchers Anonymous in 2002 that I could do the history of local spirituality. Noting that this has never been done, the group received the proposal enthusiastically and has given me nothing but encouragement and fruitful suggestions ever since. By the end of 2004 I had sufficient material to want to make it available to others and did so on a personal website and in a few copies distributed to libraries and historical museums. A year later I had so much new information that I put out a second, revised and amplified, edition in the same way. At the end of 2006, however, I had so much more material that I not only added it, but I rewrote large parts of the second edition and rearranged others to make the whole more user friendly. The third edition went out publicly on the Worldwide Web as a form of ebook. I wish to thank the Researchers Anonymous members who have been particularly helpful in one way or another: Amy Dunning, Ross Gibson, Rachel McKay, Bob Nelson, Frank and Jill Perry, Marion Pokriots, Phil Reader, Judith Steen, Stanley Stevens, Wayne Thalls. My deep gratitude also to the Santa Cruz Public Libraries for using this book at the reference desk, for cataloging it, and for including the present edition in their website.

  • Becoming a Member of the General Anthroposophical Society
    Becoming a member of the General Anthroposophical Society “Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge, to guide the spiritual in the human being to the spiritual in the universe.” Rudolf Steiner: Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts, GA 26, Rudolf Steiner Press, London 1999 Dear Reader! It is likely not by accident that you came to be reading this booklet, and we hope that you find in it a welcome introduction to the Anthroposophical Society as initiated by Rudolf Steiner. This booklet is intended to serve as a kind of overview of and roadmap for the many aspects of the Society. With the Anthroposophical Society at the heart, Anthroposophy and its practices around the world extend far beyond the Society itself. We hope you will consider becoming a member and are interested in exploring what Anthroposophy has to offer you in your own path of development. Anthroposophy recognizes that each individual human is a physical, soul and spiritual being, and that we each find meaning and purpose through relationships to each other, to the world around us, and to the wider universe. Rudolf Steiner’s life achievement is that through Anthroposophy as a scientific method of acquiring knowledge, the reality of a spiritual world and its connection to the evolution of the human being can be known. Further, there are many practical initiatives based on a distinct understanding of people and the world through Anthroposophy as researched and made known by Rudolf Steiner. These include among others: Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, natural cosmetics, values-based work with economics, organic architecture, and anthroposophical medicine. Within the Anthroposophical Society there are numerous paths and levels of commitment, which you are free to explore and choose based upon your own interests and capacities.
