Ringing Cedars of Russia

"I exist for those I exist for" These are the words that a young woman told Vladimir Megre, a Russian entrepreneur, in 1995 during his commercial expedition down Syberia's Ob River. The woman, whose name was Anastasia, appeared to be not only healthier and more attractive, but also much smarter and well-informed about many aspects of modern life, than ordinary people of towns, despite the fact that she lived deep in the taiga for her whole life, far away from big cities and even small settlements. But this was just a tiny part of a surprisingly deep and philosophical knowledge of our Universe, that the woman possessed. The way her kin lives in a taiga, the way they can understand surrounding nature and a meaning they put in every day of their lives, makes a reader ask himself, "Why do I live? Who Am I? Does humanity go the right direction in its technocratic development or not?" Later on, after complying with the young woman's request and writing the first book of the 'Ringing Cedars Of Russia' series, titled 'Anastasia', the author said the following to his readers. Not being a writer, without any experience in writing creatively, I have to apologize to my readers for the narrative style. This book does not belong to social and political journalism or fiction, fantastic or adventure stories. In spite of all the phenomenal and fantastic events which have been described, I have failed to determine its genre. This book is a story about an extraordinary woman possessing a gift of healing a soul and a body of a man.

The Ringing Cedars of Russia, the second book of the Ringing Cedars Series, in addition to providing a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the story of how "Anastasia" came to be published, offers a deeper exploration of the universal concepts so dramatically revealed in Book 1. It takes the reader on an adventure through the vast expanses of space, time and spirit from the Paradise-like glade in the Siberian taiga to the rough urban depths of Russia's capital city, from the ancient mysteries of our forebears to a vision of humanity's radiant future.

The Dimension of Love, the third book of the Ringing Cedars Series, describes author's second visit to Anastasia. Rich with new revelations on natural child-rearing and alternative education, on the spiritual significance of breast-feeding and the meaning of ancient megaliths, it shows how each person's thoughts can influence the destiny of the entire Earth and describes practical ways of putting Anastasia's vision of happiness into practice. Megre shares his new outlook on education and children's real creative potential after a visit to a school where pupils build their own campus and cover the ten-year Russian school program in just two years. Complete with an account of an armed intrusion into Anastasia's habitat, the book highlights the limitless power of Love and non-violence.

Co-Creation, the fourth book and centerpiece of the Series, paints a dramatic living image of the creation of the Universe and humanity's place in this creation, making this primordial mystery relevant to our everyday living today. Deeply metaphysical yet at the same time down-to-Earth practical, this poetic heart-felt volume helps us uncover answers to the most significant questions about the essence and meaning of the Universe and the nature and purpose of our existence. It also shows how and why the knowledge of these answers, innate in every human being, has become obscured and forgotten, and points the way toward reclaiming this wisdom and in partnership with Nature manifesting the energy of Love through our lives.

Who Are We?, the fifth book of the Ringing Cedars Series, describes the author's search for real-life 'proofs' of Anastasia's vision presented in the previous volumes. Finding these proofs and taking stock of ongoing global environmental destruction, Vladimir Megre describes further practical steps for putting Anastasia's vision into practice. Full of beautiful realistic images of a new way of living in co-operation with the Earth and each other, this book also highlights the role of children in making us aware of the precariousness of the present situation and in leading the global transition toward a happy, violence-free society.

The Family Book, the sixth book of the Series, describes another visit by the author to Anastasia's glade in the Siberian taiga and his conversations with his growing son, which cause him to take a new look at education, science, history, family and Nature. Through parables and revelatory dialogues and stories Anastasia then leads Vladimir Megre and the reader on a shocking re-discovery of the pages of humanity's real history that have been distorted or kept secret for thousands of years. This knowledge sheds light on the causes of war, oppression and violence in the modern world and guides us in preserving the wisdom of our ancestors and passing it over to future generations.

Volume 7 of the Ringing Cedars Of Russia Series re-asserts the power of human thought in our lives, in the destiny of planet Earth and in the Universe, and presents ways to consciously control and build up the power of our creative thought. The book sheds further light on humanity s forgotten history, religion, the roots of inter-racial and inter-religious conflict, ideal nutrition, and how a new way of thinking and a lifestyle in true harmony with Nature can lead to happiness and solve our personal and societal problems.

"The New Civilization", the first part of eighth book of the Series describes yet another visit by Vladimir Megre to Anastasia and their son, and offers new insights into practical co-operation with Nature, showing in ever greater detail how Anastasia's lifestyle applies to our lives. Describing how the visions presented in previous volumes have already taken beautiful form in real life and produced massive changes in Russia and beyond, the author discerns the birth of a new civilization. The book also paints a vivid image of America's radiant future, in which the conflict between the powerful and the helpless, the rich and the poor, the city and the country, can be transcended and thereby lead to transformations in both the individual and society.

"The New Civilization II - Rites of Love" compares today's attitudes toward sex, childbirth, family and education with those of our forebears. Their depth of understanding may cause you to wonder when and how we lost this extraordinary knowledge. Anastasia assures us that it can be regained. Through the fascinating life-story of one family, Megre portrays the radiant world of the ancient Russian Vedic civilization, documents the drama of its destruction and then reveals its rebirth-millennia later-in our present time.

People will find it hard to believe such things. So what? What will be left to one who has no faith in power? Birth? Yes, it's so! But for what purpose? If life has no sense, then the death comes. And the question is: what is the meaning of your birth? So many teachings have been existed for millions of years. And all of them speak about the same: the mankind should wait for something from somebody. So it was waiting with thought and mind been locked, not reflecting on meaning of the stars the Universe is lighting for a man.
