Greetings and peace to John, Carlo, Ana, and all the dear friends of Professor. The address John gave is correct. The Swallow doesn’t use email, so snail mail is the only way I know of for communications. They’re having mountains of snow up there this year, so please expect to wait a couple of months. That notwithstanding, you’ll be so pleased when you see Swallow’s letter arrive.

I feel the deep heart with which you’ve expressed your intent to start a community based on biogenic living and essene principles. It’s a joyous moment for us all when people such as yourselves commit to this “spiritual banquet”, as Professor used to call it. All the best wishes to you in this journey. My heart goes with you.

Comment on Carrots in the Car Park. Radishes on the Roundabout. by johnhaines

Thanks so much for your comments. This idea may not work so well where you are but we all have to do what we can. Educating the youngsters would be a great start, as you say.

With dirt under my nails and hope in my heart,
John

Hi,
That all sounds great but I dont think that would work in my area. They would be vandalised. Even our allotment sites are not safe. I’ve had my greenhouse stolen along with others on our site, Some of the plot holders have had their chickens stolen, I would be devastated if mine was stolen or worse, We constantly get vandals smashing things up and pulling up veg just for the hell of it. We have our site patrolled by the police if they arn’t busy with something else.
It sounds a wonderful idea and it would make sure children got their 5 a day because there would be no excuses from parents saying they can’t afford to buy fresh fruit and veg. Also the homeless could have a bite to eat. Maybe the government should look into this and make it compulsory for people to grow veg on waisted areas almost like it was in the war. The teachers should teach our children from a very young age how to grow veg because I dont know of any youngster that doesnt like to dig and they would be far less fussy about eating greens if they were to grow it themselves, perhaps this should be compulsory in the schools weekly lessons, I think they would look forward to that lesson.
We have a childrens centre who have an allotment on our site, they are all young children and I know they love getting their hands dirty, the parents love it as well. This is held throughout the school term on a Monday morning for a couple of hours, when school is out there is a couple of teachers who keep the allotment going, but I have also noticed that parents still bring their youngsters to do a bit.
I wish we could change the outlook of the bored teenagers who think vandalism is fun. You are living in a great place I wish our place was like this.

Hello John,

my name is Carlo from Bavaria/Germany. Actually we are organising a german group of “biogenic living people” bases on the essene way here in south of bavaria. – After studying the essene gospels as well as the “Professor’s” books since 1974, now it seems the time to realise this deep wish of my heart…- especially, you can find all the quantum physic statements in the essene way of living as well. – So it’s quite easy to get in touch with “modern thinking people” – showing a simple but responsible way of life (style) to them. That’s what people need by heart and urgently are looking for (here in SouthGermany).

Therefore we kindly ask for an E-mail contact to somebody in the IBS who can give us information if we are allowed to use the terminus “biogenic living” – with all the deep respect to the tradition of the essene way. – How would they live today ? – Probabely right that way we are intended to do ?
Thank you for any answer !
With our very best regards
in peace – from heart to heart.

Ana & Carlo
