Goethe, Etheric Vision and Propaganda
Переглядів 1,8 тис.10 місяців тому
The capacity to see more deeply into the subtle patterns in nature was described by Rudolf Steiner as etheric vision. He also used the term living picture imagination that has its roots in what the poet Goethe called higher beholding. Human physiological development of organs in pre-birth times is a template for what later becomes the life of the soul. Perceiving the dialogue between organ syst...

Thank you for sharing your craft.
Thanks Dennis, is warmth similar to 4th phase water? As in ez water (exclusion zone)? Per Gerald pollack work? Seems to be the action of energy transformation, including human energy. Thanks
Hello Dennis I have to say I have to agree with a lot of people in your comments by far this is one of the best examples and explaining on extracting the oil from your herbs 4 essential oils. Thank you for taking the time out to explain this and share this with us I hit the like button I hit the subscribe button
Nice presentation. Very clear to the points.🎉
I don't know you, but I love you. Thank you for being you!
We can't keep outside at sunlight?
You certainly could. I live in a humid environment near the ocean and if they are too moist, they grow mold. The drier air inside the house helps with that.
chama!
Thank you. My first try was really good. I'll make some again !
Worried about vacuum grease in oil? Wondering if there is a non-chem way of getting a nice seal
Thank you dad for the video but i wanna know how many mls do u get on each distillation like this one?
Great video... Where would you get the glass components?
if someone sees this.....i have a problem with the system being a sealed system? with the way the clevenger is mounted were is the steam pressure going or is it condensing fast enough to create equilibrium? or is the condenser opened at the top?
Will that Glassware part work in Distillations where Water is lighter than the Oil of the Material.... (For Example Sandalwood Chips or Oud Chips etc) I think for that the normal without the finger one glassware would be better Kindly Suggest your Opinion Sir
Thank you for your video. Do you leave the roots in the ground? Not sure if they will grow back year after year esp in Ontario where the temperatures can be harsh in the winter.
Cheers mate .... Nice
thanks dennis
I will have to watch again. I have found that MCT oil does not turn rancid and absorbs well. So I use that in my salves. Thank You. I also have your book on The Wedding..................
All I can say is WOW!!!!! I may end up learning how to make this contraption.
Thank you Dennis.
Dennis, I have purchased and set up all the equipment you spelled out in your videos about distilling essential oils. I have already made several runs .. some Melissa, Perilla, and Beauty Berry. Thank you for the information and inspiration!
Excellent video! Thanks!!!!!
i love it! my first still was a pressure cooker and a home made copper coil condenser in a 5gal bucket. i like how yours is a hybrid of a hydrodistillation and a soxhlet condenser. very cool
does this work for pot ...?
When the fennel goes to seed, does that change the taste and texture of the bulb?
Thank you very much for making these videos. I have just discovered how to make my own essential oils and the rabbit hole has led me to your videos. Thank you for showing us how to create the device without going to Amazon and ordering stuff that is more problematic then needed. You are amazing and your information is perfect.
Now distill the plant matter to collect the alcohol. Burn the plant matter to a white ash. Wash the ash with clean water and evaporate it and collect the salts. Recombine the salts, alcohol and oils and you have a powerful medicine called a spagyric.
This is what I want to be like when I grow up.
Very nice Thank you
Thanks so much Dennis for sharing this. Very inspiring!
Hey Dennis THANKYOU so much for info you provide. As more of us are seeking natural medicine again now, knowing this sort info & info from yr other videos (I've reviewed, but will go through another time), are useful indeed! THANKYOU SO MUCH you've got yourself a new subscriber! 😊
Yep this man also does other distilling he seems very relaxed.
Thank you.
This is brilliant. Probably sums up two semesters of pharmaceutical lab practice. Very well explained, concise and easy to follow. Also beautiful editing, no nonsense and very atmospheric! Thank you!
Oil content of plants are much higher when harvested on a full moon.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing. Your video has helped me set down much self doubt I've carried. ❤
Thank you so much for the excellent explanation. I am glad to find your channel. Greetings from Germany 💞
I wonder if you could distill truffle mushrooms. 🤔
Wow amazing video! Thank you so much I've always wondered how essential oils are made!! Very interesting!
Beautiful video and set up, thanks for sharing. Great explanation too, quality. Just like your lemon balm oil.
Thank you for this presentation. Pretty sure I will never do this in this life, but leave some hope I might do it in another.
Thank you for passing on your knowledge
Hi! I truly appreciate this video!! Almost every distillery vid I've seen they use distilled water to avoid any contamination. Would it be a good idea to purify &/or distill the rain water first B4 using for essential oils? Sorry if this is an inept question but I'm a newbie.🤷😁 Also... I know for a fact that the rain water here is FULL of chemtrail poisons....js😮
THANK YOU!❤
I love this video. Dennis, Should I use a pharmaceutical grade vacuum grease since it might be in contact with the oils just to be safe?
If possible, it can't hurt.
This is so very interesting mate, thank you very much.
Very interesting and you are very knowledgeable about such an amazing process! I’m going to watch it again. :-) Thank you 🙏
Absolutely beautiful work. I loved the whole process. Thank you for sharing.
Very interesting. Good Job!
