The Ringing Cedars of Russia #8.2
Armastuse kombestik
Igapäevane kunstlikult tekitatud pudi-padi kisub alailma meid eemale iseendist - nii kipume unustama, mis on elus peamine.
Anastasia imelisest taigast, helisevate seedrite lähedalt, jätkab põliskodude mõtestamist Venemaa kirjaniku Vladimir Megre sule läbi.
Jumalik Armastuse energia tuleb ja lahkub taas, kui me teda hoida ei oska. Vaaremad ja vaarisad aga teadsid, kuidas teda kohelda. Elava jumaliku energia tundmine aitas sündida inspiratsioonipuhangutel, milles loodi oma kodu ümbrus. Ja Armastus jäi alati inimese kõrvale, sündisid suurepäraste võimetega põlvkonnad.
Eks paista see nagu kaunis muinasjutt. Ilmselt on mõnedki muinasjutud meieni kandnud esivanemate iidseid teadmisi. Kõik võib osutuda ühel hetkel tõeks. Looduse ja Universumi seadusi tundes võime vanadele tarkustele toetudes siluda saatusehaavu, kustutada negatiivsete kogemuste tagajärgi, muuta uueks ja elavaks oma kodud, ärgata Elule, leida igast ummikteest väljapääs, lihtsalt rahuneda asjatust sebimisest.
Armastusega Loodu kaitseb nii meid kui meie lapsi, Jumala loodust, liidab meid möödunud põlvedega, loob uusi mõõtmeid, taastab sideme algsete tarkustega. Hoides Elavat iseendi ümber, õnnistades tulevasi aegu oma südamest sündivate inimlike tegudega - nii täituvad aegamööda puhtad, muinasjutulised unistused.

About the author
Vladimir Megré
27 books151 followersVladimir Nikolaevich Megre (born 23 July, 1950 in Kuznichi village, Gorodnyansky District, Chernigov Region in Ukraine), the author of The Ringing Cedars of Russia book series, was a well-known entrepreneur. He spent most of his childhood with his grandmother Efrosinia Verkhusha, a village healer.
As a teenager Vladimir occasionally visited Father Feodorit, a priest of the Trinity-Sergiyev Monastery. Later he was shown there the picture «The One and Only» which he described in his second book before the picture was revealed to the world.
Vladimir started an independent life early and left the parents' house at the age of 16. Since 1974 he lived in Novosibirsk and worked as a photographer with Novosibirskoblfoto, a service company.
At the beginning of Perestroika (reforms of the late 1980s) he was the president of the Inter-Regional Association of Siberian Entrepreneurs. In 1994-5 he organized two large-scale trade expeditions with a fleet of river steamers along the River Ob along the route Novosibirsk -- Salekhard -- Novosibirsk at his own expense. On this trip, an encounter with Anastasia in the Siberian taiga changed his entire life.
It had been a secret for a long time for relatives and friends what made him, an entrepreneur with ten years experience, to pledge his property and spend his savings on unprofitable trading trips. The mystery was revealed in his books with Anastasia as the main character. Vladimir Megre brought something really invaluable from the trips.
Throughout 1996-2006 nine books were written by Vladimir Megre (The Ringing Cedars of Russia Series: Anastasia, The Ringing Cedars of Russia, The Space of Love, Co-Creation, Who Are We?, Book of Kin, The Energy of Life, The New Civilization, Rites of Love).
In 2011 the author became Laureate of Gusi Peace Prize.
By now 11 millions copies of the books translated into 20 languages have been sold. In 1999 Megre established the Anastasia Foundation for Culture and Creative Support in the city of Vladimir and launched the site www.anastasia.ru. Readers' and press conferences take place in Russia and abroad.
The author holds readers' and press conferences in Russia and other countries.
The most active readers of Ringing Cedars of Russia book series unite into public organizations, one of the aims of which is the creation of Kin's domains. In 2010 another book "Anasta" was issued. The author plans to write a scenario on the basis of his books.
The author comments about himself and his books:
Good shall prevail on the earth!
- The parade of worldly rulers, no matter what grand temples they might have built, will be remembered only by the filth they have bequeathed to their descendants. Water will prove to be the criterion; the measure of all things. With each day that passes, the water seethes with more and more contamination.
The above words were pronounced by a character from my books: a recluse from the Siberian taiga, Anastasia.
My name is Vladimir Megre. I was born on the twenty-third of July, 1950, in a Ukrainian village. Then I studied, got married and worked in Siberia, but that isn't the main thing. The most important aspect of my life emerged after my meeting with Anastasia.
It was the beginning of perestroika in Russia, and I had just gone into business. I was a leader of the Entrepreneurs of Siberia Association. I used to sail with goods on a motor ship over the Siberian river Ob up toward the Arctic circle. I enjoyed wandering around the taiga by myself, while the ship was moored.
It was on an isolated bank of a taiga river that I one day met a recluse from the Siberian taiga. Her name was Anastasia, and she would soon transform my outlook on life.

“Archaim is an academy”. I was interested in Sungir: “Upper Paleolithic…between 32,050 and 28,550 BCE”.
From the Web, 2 circular bastions: “Scholars have identified the structure of Arkaim as the cities built "reproducing the model of the universe" described in ancient Indo-Aryan/Iranian spiritual literature, the Vedas and the Avesta.” 2050-1900 BCE, period of Sintashta culture”

Interesting wedding rites

Wonderful with full of great informations as usual.

This is the final book in the Ringing Cedars series. Unfortunately, the library couldn't obtain the first book, "Anastasia", for me, or any of the others, so far, except this one, so I felt I had been plunged into Megré's somewhat otherwise world at the deep end. It was somewhat disorientating.
It's a very "Russian" book, understandably, since the author is Russian. I don't know what I mean by that adjective in the present context, except that the author's values and interests seem to differ considerably from the usual European values. There is a deep focus on traditional, cultural values going back thousands of years. The main themes seem to be "Go back to the land or country life, get some grounding and prioritize family life and Love, with a capital "L".
I nearly gave up on the book quite early on because it seemed mostly to treat of ancient Russian history.
This is an extremely "romantic" book extolling the virtues and indeed necessiry of our finding our true soul mate, conceiving our babies in the perfect way and ensuring that the unborn baby is provided with optimal conditions. A very special and unusual wedding rite should be performed, indeed both parties, the man and the woman, need not actually be present. (I think actually this was because the main personage, Anastasis, who does not directly appear in this book, changed the original rules to suit her own purposes.) The baby should be delivered by the father alone, no others being allowed to be present at the birth.
We are introduced to the quaint theory of telegony, the concept that if a woman has had a prior relationship, then the first man will exert an influence on the "appearance and character of a child fathered by another man". Howwever there is a chapter showing how this phenomenon can be overcome.
All the information given apparently stems from this mystical woman, Anastasia, whom I know practically nothing about, not having read any of the previous books. I reckon that this lady is a mythical figure invented by the author to be used as a tool by which to present his idealistic, visionary view of the world.
This book perhaps struck a chord in me, but all the same I don't feel I absolutely have to get hold of the preceding books in the series. But I understand that many absolutely love and are obsessed/fascinated with the series, its author and "Anastasia".
At any rate I think I can definitely advise any potential reader not to begin with this book. (I'm probably the only one who has.)

I am rating the series overall.
In my opinion, this series could have easily been reduced to 3 or 4 novels. By the end of it I no longer felt Anastasia's presence in the books at all. The writing never improves either, and I am still left feeling no connection to Vladimir whatsoever.
What I will take away from this series though are the insights about gardening and creating my own family domain. As well as trying to reconnect with my truest nature as a human being. I would probably recommend reading only 1,3, 4,5 & 6 in the series
