Glen Atkinson, Astrologer, Gardener, Homeopath and Philosopher. His endeavors have been focused on developing the agricultural and medical work of the turn of the early 20th century German philosopher, Dr Rudolf Steiner.

Glen began working with Dr Steiner’s indications in 1976 and has since made developments in several fields. His innovation and understanding of Dr Steiner’s suggestions have come firstly from recognising the fundamental similiarity, between the traditional Astrological world view and Steiner’s suggestions. Then from experimentation and observation. A simple yet innovative theory of manifestation – The Atkinson Conjecture – has become the basis for his many practical activities.

Glen accepts that, all the forces and activities talked of in Dr Steiner’s Agriculture Course exist within the electro magnetic spectrum, and that the physical Universe is big enough to be ‘God’ . Hence, what can be known and proven, forms the basics of his observation, reference and practice. There are several free books outlining the basis of this world view available on Glen’s webpage.

Dr Steiner’s agricultural indications are contained within a series of 8 lectures known as the ‘Agriculture Course’. To aid in their understanding and appreciation, we have provided these often difficult lectures with a commentary, that seeks to harmonise them into a cohesive comphrehensible whole. More recently Glen has reorganised and lightly edited the theoretical parts of the original text, to enable an easier appreciation of the message contained with in.

“Garuda” is Glen’s brand. On his website he shares why he picked this name:

Garuda is a Hindu god, who as an incarnated EAGLE manifestation of the primary god Vishnu. He performs several essential functions in life.

In India he is represented as a protector of the godly and all that is good for life.

In Indonesia he is represented as the Eagle who carries Vishnu to the Earth, thus he is “Bringing Spirit to Earth”.

The Eagle also represents the ability to fly high and gain a far seeing vision , or large overview perspective of Life, while being able to also see the specific details of the environment.

This last quality I see mirrored in a suggestion by Rudolf Steiner (RS)

“… when we want to understand the plant, we must bring into question not only plant animal and human life, but the whole universe. For life comes from the whole universe not only the Earth. Nature is a unity and her forces are at work from all sides. He who can keep his mind open to the manifest workings of these forces will understand her. ” R.S. Pg 70 1938 Agriculture. (1)

This statement has long been a ‘guiding thought’ for me in my working with his indications, which so beautifully brings Spirit to Earth and help life processes function at their optimum.’ (GA)” (The above is from Glen’s web pages. Links are in the Resources section)
