Anastasia and the Ringing Cedars
http://www.consciousmedianetwork.com...sharashkin.htm The story began in 1994 on the bank of the River Ob amidst the endless expanses of the Siberian taiga. The well-known Siberian entrepreneur Vladimir Megre met with two elderly gentlemen who told him about the amazing properties of the Siberian cedar (also known in the West as the Siberian pine). At first he didn't pay much attention to what they told him, but as he continued to reflect on it, Vladimir began to discover, in the historical and scientific literature he examined, more and more evidence supporting their words. Finally he decided to organize an expedition with a fleet of river steamers. The expedition was ostensibly for commercial purposes, but in actual fact his overriding motivation was to find the elders again and learn more about the secrets of the cedar. This incredible series of books has already been a massive seller in Russia and we interviewed the publisher of the English translations, Leonid Sharashkin, at the Science and Consciousness Conference in Santa Fe, where everyone was spell bound by the information. Many people ask if Anastasia is "real". Leonid answers simply, that it doesn't really matter whether there is a human being called Anastasia somewhere in the Siberian Taiga, as long as the information connects with the part of all of us that is all-knowing. Once you read the books, you will "know". |

What are the books about?
Well… we can safely say like nothing you've ever read before! A mysteriously powerful woman… She lives in the wilderness—for the most part without warm clothes, food cultivation or man-made shelter—and survives on fruit, nuts, berries and mushrooms, brought to her by "wild" animals with which she lives in peaceful harmony. She displays the most developed psychic and mental powers including remote viewing and healing, mind reading and seemingly perfect memory. When challenged to solve some of society's most complex problems, after only a few minutes lying on her back on the ground, with eyes closed and just her fingertips twitching, she has provided answers in such incredible detail, that witnesses have been left flabbergasted. A "mind-blowing" read… Prepare to plunge into Anastasia's wild and brilliant world as the author takes us on an extraordinary real-life adventure deep into the remote Siberian wilderness. Here, in a paradise-like glade in the forest, your understanding of everything you thought you knew will be turned upside-down! You'll discover… An 117 year old Siberian elder and his father, who will introduce you to the remarkable 'ringing cedar' tree of Siberia (also called Siberian pine, Pinus sibirica) that over its 500 year lifetime has accumulated so much cosmic energy that it has started emitting a vibrating 'ringing' sound. You'll visit… A school deep in the forest, designed, built and decorated entirely by students 7 to 17 years old, without adult supervision. Here students cover a 10-year math syllabus in just one year, while learning three foreign languages, martial arts and ballroom dancing. The students come and go as they please, and their parents pay no fees. With a waiting list in the thousands, this school completely redefines the word "education"! You'll meet… Anastasia's son—raised naturally in the forest by his mother. Rest assured, you have never met a five-year-old like this! This young boy's profound intelligence will force you to take a totally fresh look at education, science, history and… well… just about everything! You'll be blown away… Anastasia's vision of the future in which she exposes the extraordinary process by which all armaments—from nuclear missiles to handguns—will be removed from the planet in the days to come. And totally inspired… Anastasia paints images of exquisite beauty, abundance, peace and harmony—images which will fill you with renewed hope and inspire you to begin creating a very different life for yourself—one far better than anything you might have previously imagined. After reading the Ringing Cedars Series many readers have completely rearranged their lives to reflect a more spiritually connected existence. She will melt your heart! What makes these books so very unusual is the mysterious "energy" that Anastasia's words contain, and her remarkable ability to strike a chord in the heart of the reader. The purity and power in her words is provoking an outpouring of joy and hope in people from all walks of life. Thousands of readers have felt a huge creative upsurge and started writing poetry and songs and creating works of art. Thousands more have been inspired to begin planting trees, growing healing food and flower gardens in their cities as well as their homes. You'll learn dozens of secrets about… Everlasting love & happiness Co-creating with the Universe Finding a higher purpose Deeper sexual connections Raising brilliant happy children Vibrant health & vitality Self-mapped healing gardens Living in harmony with Nature The emergence of a new civilization and much more… How did this happen? In 1995 a Siberian trader discovered a beautiful young woman living alone deep in the forest. He spent 3 days with this woman during which she displayed such "mind-blowing" power and knowledge that he totally abandoned his business to write a book about her. She told him she would encode his books with "an energy" to raise readers' spirits and make the books sell in the millions. The trader began to tell his story of "Anastasia" in a series of books he called The Ringing Cedars. The first and each successive print-run sold out in days, or weeks as readers returned to carry away cartons of books to share with friends and loved ones. Over the next 3 years the author received over 40,000 readers' letters of gratitude. The books have since sold over 10 million copies—with no advertising except word-of-mouth. They have been translated into more than 20 languages and sold a million more. Some bookstores have reported them to be their most stolen books. 1000's of readers have quit their jobs after reading these books, and begun to completely rearrange their lifestyles. Top scientists, military officers, senior government ministers, even heads of religious orders have been singing praise, writing poetry and creating works of art—all inspired by the Ringing Cedars Series. In 2004 a young Russian scholar obtained the English rights, and came to the USA to produce the English edition. During the 3-year translation by a senior scholar at Ottawa University over 100,000 copies of these books have sold to English readers world-wide. All nine books have now been translated into English and Ringing Cedars Press has just released them as a complete series in this superb new revised edition. |

Spaces of Love
FROM BOOK ONE (from the new version that came out in April 2007) Anastasia talks about every one of us creating what she calls ‘spaces of love’. These spaces are usually about one hectare (2.8 acres) per family. When several of these spaces of love are joined together they create a ‘Kin’s domain’ or eco-village. Many beautiful and amazing things happen in ones space of love. While with Vladimir in her space of love Anastasia says that every living thing in her space of love, every blade of grass and insect reacts to a change in the rhythm of her heart. She then shows Vladimir how this is done and slows her heartbeat down. Immediately the rhythm of sounds all around slows down to match her heartbeat. (pp 136-137) |

Healing Gardens
Everything on Earth, every blade of grass, every insect, has been created for Man, and everything has its individual appointed task to perform in the service of Man. The multitude of medicinal plants is a confirmation of this.” (book one - pp 75) FROM BOOK ONE (from the new version that came out in April 2007) * Much of the following information has already been confirmed by the experiments of the biological science expert Mikhail Prokhorov. (pp 76) Anastasia stated: “Every seed you plant contains within itself an enormous amount of information about the Universe. Through the help of these data the seed knows the exact time, down to the millisecond, when it is to come alive, grow – what juices it is to take from the Earth, how to make use of the rays of the celestial bodies; the Sun, Moon and stars, what it is to grow into, what fruit to bring forth. These fruits are designed to sustain Mans life. More powerfully and effectively than any manufactured drugs of the present or future, these fruits are capable of counteracting and withstanding any disease of the human body. But to this end the seed must know about the human condition. So that during the maturation process it can satiate its fruit with the right correlation of substances to heal a specific individual of his disease, if indeed he has it or is prone to it.” Anastasia describes a process to ‘imbue’ or ‘load’ information into a seed and communicate more consciously with plants; The following steps should be taken with a variety of plant species in the garden-plot. It is not necessary to cultivate more than a few of each kind of plant. “Before planting, put into your mouth one or more little seeds, hold them in your mouth, under the tongue, for at least nine minutes. “Then place the seed between the palms of your hands and hold it there for about thirty seconds. During this time it is important that you be standing barefoot on the spot of earth where you will later be planting it. “Open your hands, and carefully raise the seed which you are holding to your mouth. Then blow on it lightly, warming it with your breath, and the wee little seed will know everything that is within you. “Then you need to hold it with your hands open another thirty seconds, presenting the seed to the celestial bodies. And the seed will determine the moment of its awakening. The planets will all help it! And will give the sprouts the light they need to produce fruit especially for you. “After that you may plant the seed in the ground. In no case should you water it right off, so as not to wash away the saliva which is now covering it, along with other information about you that the seed will take in. It can be watered three days after planting. “The planting must be done on days appropriate to each vegetable (people already know this, from the lunar calendar). In the absence of watering, a premature planting is not as harmful as an overdue planting. “It is not a good idea to pull up all the weeds growing in the vicinity of the sprouts. At least one of each kind should be left in place. The weeds can be cut back…” According to Anastasia, the seed is able to take in information about the person who plants it, and then as it grows its fruit it receives from the universe the optimum blend of energies needed for a given Man. The weeds serve another function and should not be rid of completely. Some weeds protect the plant from disease and others give the plant supplemental information. During the time the plants are growing it is crucial to communicate – and meditate with the plant at least once, but preferably more. It is also desirable to meditate and touch the plants during a full moon. Anastasia says that plants cultivated from seeds germinated and planted in this manner and eaten by the person who has grown them is capable of curing him of “any diseases of the flesh whatsoever but also of significantly retarding the aging process, rescuing him from harmful habits, tremendously increasing his mental abilities and giving him a sense of inner peace.” The fruits must be eaten no later than three days after harvesting to be most effective. When the plants are grown like this they will be different from other plants of the same species. They will not only differ in taste but will also be different in their makeup and the substances they contain. When planting seedlings (trees) it is important to use ones fingers and bare toes to soften the dirt where planting. This is because toxic substances are excreted through the bottoms of the feet containing information about a person and any diseases they suffer from. The seedlings take in this information, which in turn transmits it to the fruit. Anastasia recommends walking around the garden plot and wherever the seedlings are planted barefoot from time to time. When asked what kind of plants to cultivate she says to plant the same kind of things that are found in most gardens. One can plant raspberries, currants, gooseberries, cucumbers, tomatoes, wild strawberries, any kind of apple tree, sweet and sour cherries and flowers. It doesn’t matter how many plants there are or how big the garden plot is. She says there are a few “definites” that need to be planted in order to have a “full energy micro-climate”. There should be at least one sunflower plant and about two square meters of cereal grains such as rye or wheat (for making special bread later), and an “island” of wild growing herbs that grow there naturally and already. If there are no wild plants and weeds growing in the area then you can bring some turf in from the nearby forest. When asked about planting these (what she called) ‘definites’ (plants that ‘definitely’ need to be in the garden) she responded that it is not just the variety of plants that is important, but also how they are planted. They need to be planted in such a way that they can take in the information they need. The main thing is to infuse the garden with information about yourself. If this is done correctly then the plants will be much more effective at healing. She says that “nature really is not wild, it is just unfamiliar to you – there are a great many plants that can help us cure all – and I mean all – existing diseases. These plants have been designed for that purpose, but Man has lost, or almost lost, the ability to identify them”. The “chief physician” is our own body. From the beginning it knows what plants and herbs should be used for healing and when they should be used. Our body knows how to eat, drink and breathe and is capable of preventing dis-ease even before any physical signs are present. Nothing can do this better than your own body, for it is your own personal physician given to you by God. “If you make connections with the plants in your garden-plot, they will take care of you and cure you. They will make the right diagnoses all by themselves and prepare the most effective medicine especially designed for you.” (pp 77-81) Anastasia tells Vladimir that the society he is living in can learn a lot about communication with plants from the dachniks and their dacha plots. The dachas know every plant personally in their garden. They feel better and act kinder when they are in working in their gardens. They live longer and are healthier. It is the dachniks who can show us the path towards becoming aware of how destructive the technocratic path can be. (pp 73) Anastasia describes a morning routine where a person wakes up at sunrise, walks barefoot out to the garden and visit your plants. She says to be sure and touch them. They love human contact. This does not have to be done everyday, and not even at the same time, but try to do it as much as possible. It should be done as one feels moved to. One thing that is important is to be sure and not wash or shower before visiting the plants. The plants sense the fragrances of the substances emitted by a person’s body through the pores of the skin during the night. If the morning is warm then find a small grassy patch (very helpful to have nearby) and lie down and stretch out for a few minutes. If some bug or insect crawls on your body don’t chase it away. The bugs can open up the pores causing toxins to be expelled and healing to happen. If there is a river, lake or pond nearby then wash yourself in it. Or pour water over yourself as you stand barefoot close to the plants and garden, or you can stand in between the beds if possible. It is a good idea to alternate places in the garden where you wash off with water. Do not dry off with a towel. Use your hands and shake the water from your body off onto the garden. After this a person can bathe or shower. At nighttime it is good to wash your feet with pure water before going to bed. You can use some saltbrush plant or nettles or combine them together, but don’t use any soap or shampoo. Pour the water you have just washed with out on the plants. This will allow toxins to be removed through the pores of the feet and the water that is poured over the garden will give supplemental information to the plants. We must follow this routine as much as possible in order to give the environment a chance to help us heal. (pp 86-87) *** IMPORTANT NOTE Please make sure to use only organic seeds. Store bought commercial varieties can be sprayed with poisons and make you sick. Buy the highest quality heirloom, organic varieties from reputable sources or better yet, produce the seeds yourself. copied from the Resource Library at http://www.anastasiasgarden.com/library/healinggardens/ |

Thanks, LISW.
 I've read all the books and I'd like to see this interview.

Wow.
I am about one quarter of the way through the first book already. It's amazing. I feel as though I've found something I have been building up for and searching for my whole life. Whether the story is factual or not....is irrelevant. The book definitely resonates. I'd like to think the story could indeed be true. The words in these books......I feel are my destiny. I even have a user name on another forum which is "listens to trees".   Gotta get meself some cedar! One needs not to visit the pub in order to become uplifted and intoxicated by "spirit".  It vexes me a little if people tell me, in a patronizing manner, to "live in the real world".  What the hell is "the real world" anyway? Something I sure want to help heal and change!! I am not going to change for anybody.....I am not going to try and be something I am not. This is who I am. |

Sometimes I get told to "live in the real world", by people who train at work and get promotion. I ask them "Why is it better to do this promoted job than my one"? And they go "Er... I don't know it just is." I don't know- it just is- that's just the way things are And they accuse ME of not living in the real world!? I'm knew you'd love Anastasia. It may not be relevent to you, and it certainly is not a factor in my enjoyment of the book, but I think Anastasia is real. If you look at Megre's background and what happened in his life it is inconceivable for him to have made the whole thing up.

Her psychic abilities remind me of Mary Summer Rain's teacher, "No-eyes", who also may or may not have been real but was beautifully written. I hope Anastasia is real. I'm going to read some more of it today. |

I can see how some people who are more logically inclined might see these books as a disappointment after reading all the hype.
I can see how to begin with, what is written within them may appear far to idealistic, fantastical, wishy-washy. But many native people do have true abilities of being able to communicate with nature, tune into their higher consciousness, etc. Many people can communicate with animals. Anastasia just may be real. God, I wish I could get away from here, into the forest. This is what I've always longed to do, in my heart, ever since I was a child. I wish I could live in such gentle, peaceful harmony with nature, to be close to the trees and elements, breathing them in, each day of my life. I don't feel I belong to this "civilized" world who have cut themselves off and separated themselves from our Mother.

  It's tempting to go and try to join folk like Anastasia, jump into her forest and just live in peace and harmony with nature for the rest of my physical life here... But unfortunately, the way this world is going, that's a bit like climbing up the mast on a sinking ship! How long will it be until the Illuminati corporations move into the wilderness? In fact Book 3 of the Ringing Cedars tells how some government scientists try to kidnap Anastasia. Rather than escape into the wilderrness that still survives I'd like to bring that wildernerss here, to the rest of the wortld. We need it! More than anything else!

Not at all . Anyone and everyone can play a part. Bring Anastasia's philosophy into the world around you. Be a true Free Liberated Human Being; a person, not a statute law asset of the corporations. Create your Kin's Domain, your Space of Love. Everyone can do this in whatever place they are. One of the later books tells the story of some prisoners in jail who did it!

Anastasia on astrology
"God has created everything we can see, including the planets. They serve to guarantee the order and harmony of all life- not only plants and animals, they also help human flesh, but there is no way they have power over Man's heart and mind. It is not they who control Man, but Man controls their movements through his sub-conscious.
"If a single individual wanted a second Sun to flare up in the sky, it would not appear. Things are arranged this way so that planetary catastrophes do not happen. But if everybody together wanted a second Sun, it would appear. "In making up a horoscope, it is necessary first of all to take into account the basic dimensions- the level of Man's temporal awareness, his strength of will and his spirit, the aspirations of his soul and the degree to which it participates in the life of here and now. "Favourable and unfavourable astrological signs, magnetic storms, high and low pressure- these are all subject to will ans conscious awareness. "Have you ever seen a happy, joyful person on a cloudy or stormy day- or, on the other hand, a sad and depressed person on a sunny day with the most favourable astrological prediction?" wow.

LISW: Did you get the new edition of the book? If you order from the UK supplier now you get a book with a completely new design. The exquisite paintings by Alexander Roboinikov have been replaced by rather insipid conformist photo and copperplate writing graphic design, akin to magazines!
 Is this the one you got? I much prefer the original ones; here's Anastasia:
