I think most of the people on this board are familiar with Steiner, even if they haven't read his books. The problem is your quote of him is correct, but it is a lot further down the road than you and me too. The problem comes when you try to let insults run off you like water, when in actuality you are hurting and just pretending. This was discussed precisely by Ra and Don in one of the sessions.
Are you asking questions out of a genuine desire for helpful answers or are you just fishing?

think of it as a battle between 7 billion people in the swamp trying to stay afloat. you can fight to stay afloat and keep yourself relatively clear but dirty or you can fight for the top and get all dirty. of course getting out of the swamp and cleaning onself up would solve all problems but the difficulty lies in getting out of it first without getting all dirty in the first place.
i hope that analogy makes sense.
You seem to have already decided on your beliefs and are here seeking validation while asking questions. There are multiple misconceptions in your statement and your analogy.

when using my analogy, you would simply drown.
Do you already know the answer or are you seeking the answer? One of the hardest lessons to learn, is to empty your cup, and realize to learn you have to forget what you thought you knew. It took me a long time to learn that. I don't have all the answers either, that is why we discuss them on here to learn from each other, but we only learn if we are open and listening.
