Anastasia (The Ringing Cedars Series, Book 1)

I have read many spiritual and different types of books in the past, everything from the pillars of Buddhism & books on Atlantis, to Sungazing & Quantum Physics, and none of them could really compare to the feeling of peace and love that I have felt from reading the Ringing Cedars series. It expounds on truths that have been present since the beginning of time, in a simple and easy to understand format. Its words truly paint a picture of paradise in my mind and have changed me forever. Many people comment on the author, on his tone and writing style. Vladimir is Vladimir, and you will learn to love him. He is very rough in the first few books, but that is really not the point of why I read the books. I wasn't reading them to marvel at his personality, or his artistic writing style, or lack of, I was reading the series to learn how to reconnect, learn how to laugh and love, and understand what has been hidden for so long. In doing so I have come to appreciate Vladimir so much. Some people have commented on reading the book and saying that it doesn't provide anything new, as far as spiritual insight. I beg to differ. Many people go through spiritual books faster then they change their socks, just so they can chalk it up as another one read, and then it goes on their bookshelf. My question is, how many live it? If this isn't new information, then let me challenge you and ask how many readers have already purchased land and started to create their Space of Love all around them. How many have planted their family tree. How many are moving away from the technocratic world and started to project their own beam of light, searching near and far to help heal others. I would dare say that the number is pretty low, at least in the US. Is there something to learn from this series, YES! I say it will change your life if you let it. I disagree with a comment that was made that you have to have some sort of previous spiritual knowledge to understand this book. Granted, some things might take a stretch of the imagination if you have never heard them before, but overall the words and ideas portrayed are very simple and are meant to pierce the heart. They are all based on love, which we can all understand if we choose. I mean kids in Russia 12 - 17 years old are building schools and teaching each other by themselves... how can you put an age restriction or previous experience needed restriction on that. I believe that the information presented in these books is what the world needs right now. Many also have commented on whether Anastasia is real or not. She even comments and says "She exists for those whom she exists." As for me, I know she is real, because for me she is. Her dream has now become my dream, and I will direct my thoughts and actions to bringing that to come to pass, not just in Russia, but also in the US. May peace and love be with you, and ENJOY!

Easy to read, light and thoroughly enjoyable. Anastasia, a young Siberian sage relates divine insights into the nature and purpose of life on Earth to a Russian entrepreneur. The subjects she discusses are wide ranging but all ultimately interconnect and reflect wo/man's long lost connection to the vastness & beauty of simple living. I found her insights into growing food to be superior to anything I have ever read on the subject. I put this method into practice and the value her words added to my communion with living edible plants pre and post consumption was and continues to be monumental. There is much, much more....from plants to pain free childbirth. If you are bewildered by a technocratic loveless world, and are perhaps feeling '" this can't be what it's about, there must be something more" then this is the book for you. Unlike many philosophers who bat about 'ideas' and 'problems' intellectually, Anastasia tenderly bangs problems over the head with simple solutions. A word of warning once you have read the first book its highly likely you will go on to read the whole series (5 books+ 4 to be translated) so check out bulk deals. I wish I had.

The lifestyle this very real woman lives is just natural, pure and simple. The philosophy she puts forth is one that I have shared all of my life. How wonderful to receive confirmation and support. Think about it. Isn't it better to live in harmony with nature? Don't you feel protected by all of God's Creation and in turn feel protective of it? And doesn't it make more sense to live as a family with animals instead of abusing them and then murdering them? C'mon, did you really think God wanted you to kill His precious creatures? For me, loving animals and this beautiful earth has always seemed the right and natural way to be. And I don't know about you but I was much happier before I got into the habit of sitting in front of a computer all day. Not that there isn't a use for it. It's just every minute in front of the screen is another minute not out there with my fur friends and my trees. And look at TV. They don't call it programming for nothing. Look at all the sex and violence they're hawking. Look at society. Who's babysitting the children? The TV that's who. And what is the "babysitter" teaching these innocent sponge-like minds? Violence, sexual objectification, poisonous 'food' packed in boxes, etc. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see something is very very wrong here. Back to basics. That is what Anastasia is showing. A natural life in a natural world. These 'powers' that she posseses are there for all of us. Jeshua said that. Just disengage from the machine-like technocratic world. Don't be a bio-robot, a zombie. Go within and think for yourself. I think you'll agree that what she proposes is not at all out there. It's natural. I can tell you from experience that many times an animal, a wild animal that is supposed to be deathly afraid of humans, has come up to me and conversed and communed with me. I'm not at all special, just an ordinary human being. If these animals have befriended me, they can befriend anyone. Of course I don't eat them so maybe that has something to do with it. Reading these books has filled me with such hope for the future of mankind. I know I want to help Anastasia hold this vision and turn it into a concrete reality here in the material world of form. It's nature that heals me. It's nature that fills me with peace. Nature is well, natural. Yes? How this all comes about is a great mystery, a fascinating adventure, a story well-worth reading and even better, living. Let's all do this together. Now step away from the computer... go outside... and kiss the sky as Jimi Hendrix used to say. She's been waiting a long time. :)

THE AUTHOR, Vladimir Megre, born in 1950, was a well-known entrepreneur from a Siberian city of Novosibirsk. In 1994, having heard a fascinating story about the power of "ringing cedars" from a Siberian elder, he undertook extensive research and was one of the first businessmen to realize the commercial potential of Siberian cedar nuts and cedar nut oil. In 1995 he organized a trade expedition into the Siberian taiga to rediscover the lost technique of pressing virgin cedar nut oil containing high curative powers. However, his encounter with a Siberian woman Anastasia on this trip transformed him so deeply that he neglected his business and went to Moscow to write a book about the spiritual insights she sh
