" When the sound and wholesome nature of man
acts as an entirety, when he feels himself in the world as in
a grand, beautiful, worthy and worthwhile whole, when this harmonious
comfort affords him a pure, untrammelled delight: then the universe,
if it could be sensible of itself, would shout for joy at having
attained its goal and wonder at the pinnacle of its own essence...
For what end is served by the expenditure of suns
and planets and moons, of stars and milky ways, of comets and
nebula, of worlds evolving and passing away, if at last a happy
man does not involuntarily rejoice in his own existence?"
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe. (1749-1832 AD)

The Alchemycal Pages
An Anthroposophical- Macrobiotic Web Site
by Kaare Bursell,
since June 6, 1996.
This photograph was taken at the Spring 2002 PMC,
Phoenix, by Rodney Thomas.
Age 54, after 27 years of macrobiotic and 20 years
of anthroposophic living!
December 22, 2004.
Over 1,348,467 visitors from over 100 countries.
Kaare passed from this earth on February 9, 2019. He had
been increasingly withdrawing from the physical world, focusing all his
attendtion on spiritual aspects of life and life after death.
He missed experiencing the gobal reaction to the COVID Pandemic. While he
could have been of great help in life, we have to think that he is
doing a greater service on the spiritual plain where he can have a
more far-reaching benefit.
He was reworking a book he had began 35 years
ago Laughing with Doomsday. It was published in November 2021 and
is widely available online or ordered from local bookstores. Informaion for it can be found on
on this site, the Emporium page, or from Xlibris Publishing.
As you can observe, this is an old website using outdated programs.
Kaare, himself, forgot how to log on as an editor and it's been a struggle
to regain access for updates. His first wish was to publish his latest book,
Laughing with Doomsday, which took up my efforts until it was published at
the end of 2021. He also wanted to keep this website running for use by
any interested. He wanted his work to continue to be in the world.
The intention is to update the format and remove the deadend links. Eventually I want to make his
audio and video lectures and cooking class videos avaiable here and add any missing on his U-Tube channel.
He also wrote amagazine, News from the River, I want to upload here. This requires a knowledge about
website creation and editing which is a daunting exercise.
Please excuse some of the errors that have already been introduced due to that lack of technical
understanding. They will be corrected and the sitemade more presentable over time.
Few changes will be made to the contentsince he was satisfied with it. Bear in mind that some data is from times past
but still provide information that can lead the interested reader to search for the latest data.
It is important to know these pages contain a tremendous amount of valuable and unique information.
A note to say additions to the website will be fewsince fundamentally all the information is presented which
will allow anyone to start a macrobiotic life on a sound basis.Also I am busy researching the answer to the question
"What Is Money" and the fruits of my labors will appear in audiolectures or U-tuve videos as they are uploaded.
I was a regular contributor to the "Alternatives"Column of the publication: HEPATITIS Magazine.
This was a nationally distributed quarterly out of Houston, Texas. The seventh and last column appeard in the
Winter 2004 Issue.
