Thank you for refinding the relevant posts (I know that can be hard work!). It all makes sense now, that Slavic vibe. Although you are nothing alike post-wise, there is a hint of the tyger-tyger emotional-intensity and social engagement about you which has to have come with the early waters you drank. Steiner put all his hopes on the Slavic people, by the way: their attitude was suited to world leadership in the New next era (after the anglo-teutonic stream had run its course). He never mentioned the Asians or Africans much.... Interesting how your karma took you east and then back west. Such long lines of mobility are significant in the entire connective tissue of Consciousness always.
