An interesting phenomenon took place as the calendar rolled over to the year 2000. We moved from an influence of the mental/will/individuality/Patriarchy dominance that is represented by the #1, and is a necessary component to the building blocks of life, to the nurturing/connecting/intuitive/Feminine principal that #2 represents. And since the change in millennium, we’ve seen some gradual indications that the feminine aspect of existence is beginning to stand center stage.
We see the fermentation of outrage against the way women and children throughout the world have been treated, with actual programs that are helping to raise awareness and offer basic things like education to girls in third world countries. We have also seen female candidates running for the highest office in countries where that has not been possible. In Germany, the first female Chancellor has been elected. In France, a woman ran a close race, and in the United States, there is a strong possibility that a woman will be a candidate for President.
Amidst this, in the spiritual realm, we’ve seen the rise of female gurus in the Hindu tradition. We see more and more vocal female nuns in the Buddhist tradition, and we watch the struggle as conservative Christian churches face the demand by people for female ministers and priests.
Times they are a-changing, and with them, the backlash, resistance, and fear of what opening doors to the Feminine will mean. But make no mistake, this tide of change is happening, and we will all be touched and transformed through the years by the inclusion of this important contribution to our wellbeing and quality of life.
During 1996 in Russia, something untoward was happening. A businessman who visited the taiga of Siberia was introduced to a young woman named Anastasia, who had remarkable abilities and knowledge that far surpassed anything that modern man or woman exhibits. Through a series of meetings that border on fanciful fiction, this man began writing about his experiences with the enigmatic individual who told him about life, about love, about what human beings were meant to be, and where we got off track in our evolutionary process.
Anastasia introduced the author, Vladimir Megre, to a life of complete integration and interdependence with nature, where human beings and animals related to one another in love and care. He saw how children were brought into life to be nourished and allowed to bloom into the incredible beings they were meant to be, and he was shown how governments and educational systems have fallen into a mindset that traps human potential and keeps it from creating the Garden of Eden that is ours for the making.
The books that emerged from Vladimir Megre’s series of interactions with Anastasia are riveting. One does not know whether to take the whole thing as fantasy, or to see beyond our own pre-conceived ideas to a fresh perspective of what indeed is possible for us as a species.
There are seven books now available in the United States that have been carefully translated to give the English reader the full impact of the Russian context. In Russia and other parts of the world, over eleven million of the books have been sold, and there are movements of people forming communities to create a place in which children are nourished as God given gifts, where nature is held as a partner, not enemy, and where life is filled with mutual respect and appreciation for the gifts of each person. This flies in the face of the industrial revolution model. It calls upon us to reach to a higher octave of our innate abilities, and to the Divine aspect of our nature. It calls us out, and Anastasia challenges us to wake up…to reawaken the blueprint we were given as an original intention.
As I read the books, I would have flashes of clarity. “Yes!” Somewhere inside, I sensed the validity of what this woman shared. Her lineage went way back thousands of years to the Vedas. Her people had ancient wisdom that modern humans have lost, and that predated Egypt’s golden age. When the great library of Alexandria was torched, we lost contact with our roots, yet, the wisdom of the ages was handed down generation to generation through Anastasia’s lineage. She demonstrated gifts that seem impossible save through the art of special effects. Yet, they are real. And they are possible for us all when we reactivate centers within ourselves and remember who we truly are.
Technology is shown as the shallow arbiter of human interaction that it is. Related to what is possible, we are engaged in child’s play – and we do not recognize the destructive energy we’ve released within the technology we’ve created, because it was not crafted through our Divine nature, but through logic and the intellect alone. Anastasia’s message is heart centered. Yet, this is not love and light in a mushy sense of the word. It is dynamic, powerful, and life altering stuff.
To get a better flavor of the books, I suggest you go to the publisher’s official website, www.ringingcedars.com , where you can read excerpts of each of the seven released books.
If you are ready for a different life view to add to the one you now hold as sacred, read these books. Your perception of life, society, and the way we raise our children will never be the same. This information is transformational, and worthy of consideration. After all, where are we headed now as a world? Might there be a better way? Anastasia believes that there is, and that is why she has given this information to us all at this pivotal moment in history. Perhaps it’s time to begin enacting life through herstory!
