There is a series of books by a Russian author named Vladimir Meg that has sold 10 million copies and is making a big impact on the world so I thought I would make a few comments.
One of the reasons this caught my attention is Djwhal Khul [DK] predicted that a great new religion would come out of Russia. Therefore, anything that may develop into a religion from that area is worth checking out. So far this is the closest thing available that could fulfill the prophecy.
The interesting thing about the series of nine books is that it is quite similar to "The Immortal" in that the man meets with a supernatural character who teaches him the material for his books. But where I say that my books are a combination of fact and fiction he maintains his is all true, though he does seem to give hints here and there that this may not be the case.
The series starts out with the author in search of a special wood called "ringing cedar" that is created from rare cedar trees that actually emit a ringing sound and has healing properties. (Another correspondence here to the ringing bells in my books.)
In the Siberian wilderness he came across a beautiful young blond female who lives in the wild. Her name is Anastasia and she is quite the gal. She speaks to animals and all the animals and plant life there are dedicated to serving and pleasing her. Her parents died when she was young and she pretty much raised herself in the forest with a little help from animals and her grandparents.
After spending a little time with her, even though he was married, he was so captivated with her that he made a romantic move in her direction. Suddenly he was overcome with some supernatural force that stopped him in his tracks. He found he could not invade Anastasia's space without her permission.
As the story progresses Vladimir discovers that this female has all kinds of powers and knowledge. She has superhuman physical strength and agility and more. She has power to teleport herself anywhere in the universe. She has visited many worlds and familiar with all that goes on upon the earth. Even though she lives in the wilderness she can access anyone's thoughts or project herself to any location. She can speak any language and has read many books through powers of psychic reading.
Her main message that she wants to send to humanity through Vladimir's books is the importance of getting back to nature and live as did the ancients. She says that man has been here for billions of years ad has destroyed himself many times and then started over. During most of our existence we lived in harmony with nature and each family had is own piece of land that they cultivated with their own hands.
She says that to save the world we must go back to this type of living again -- that each person or family should have one hector of land -- which is approximately two and a half acres. This she says is plenty to take care of a family if they work the land themselves.
She maintains that by growing our own food we place our own energy in it as we cultivate it and this makes the food much more health giving.
She then gives tips on what we can do to increase the healing potencies of our garden foods. She says to place the seeds in your mouth for nine minutes before planting and then water the plants with water in which you soak your feet. She maintains that this allows the plants to tune into your body's specific needs and produce food that will heal anything wrong with you.
Then after a time of getting to know each other Anastasia warms up to Vladimir and decides she wants to have his son. They make blissful love and she becomes pregnant. Before he leaves Anastasia tells him to write a series of books about her. He then leaves her in the wilderness and returns home and starts writing.
I'll add more comments in a future post. In the meantime here is a synopsis of the nine books:
"Anastasia," the first book of the Ringing Cedars Series, tells the story of entrepreneur Vladimir Meg's trade trip to the Siberian taiga in 1995, where he witnessed incredible spiritual phenomena connected with sacred "ringing cedar" trees. He spent three days with a woman named Anastasia who shared with him her unique outlook on subjects as diverse as gardening, child-rearing, healing, nature, sexuality religion and more. This wilderness experience transformed Vladimir so deeply that he abandoned his commercial plans and, penniless, went to Moscow to fulfil Anastasia's request and write a book about the spiritual insights she so generously shared with him. True to her promise this life-changing book, once written, has become an international bestseller and has touched hearts of millions of people world-wide.
"The Ringing Cedars of Russia," the second book of the 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. 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 Space of Love," the third book of the 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. Megr 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 programme 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 centrepiece 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?" -- Book Five of the 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 Meg 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 Book Of Kin," 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 Meg and the reader on a shocking re-discovery of the pages of humanity's 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.
"The Energy Of Life," Book Seven of the Series, re-asserts the power of human thought and the influence of our thinking on our lives and the destiny of the entire planet and the Universe. Is also brings forth a practical understanding of ways to consciously control and build up the power of our creative thought. The book sheds still further light on the forgotten pages of humanity's history, on religion, on the roots of inter-racial and inter-religious conflict, on ideal nutrition, and shows how a new way of thinking and a lifestyle in true harmony with Nature can lead to happiness and solve the personal and societal problems of crime, corruption, misery, conflict, war and violence.
"The New Civilisation," the eighth book of the Series, is not yet complete. The first part of the book, already published as a separate volume, describes yet another visit by Vladimir Meg 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 civilisation. 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.
"Rites of Love" -- Book 8, Part 2 (published as a separate volume) -- contrasts today's mainstream attitudes to sex, family, childbirth and education with our forebears' lifestyle, which reflected their deep spiritual understanding of the significance of conception, pregnancy, homebirth and upbringing of the young in an atmosphere of love. In powerful poetic prose Megr describes their ancient way of life, grounded in love and non-violence, and shows the practicability of this same approach today. Through the life-story of one family, he portrays the radiant world of the ancient Russian Vedic civilisation, the drama of its destruction and its re-birth millennia later -- in our present time.
To be continued...
THE AUTHOR, Vladimir Meg, born in 1950, was a well-known entrepreneur from a Siberian city of Novosibirsk. According to his account, in 1995 -- after hearing a fascinating story about the power of "ringing cedars" from a Siberian elder -- he organised a trade expedition into the Siberian taiga to rediscover the lost technique of pressing virgin cedar nut oil containing high curative powers, as well as to find the ringing cedar tree. However, his encounter on this trip with a Siberian woman named Anastasia transformed him so deeply that he abandoned his business and went to Moscow to write a book about the spiritual insights she had shared with him. Vladimir Meg now lives near the city of Vladimir, Russia, 190 km (120 miles) east of Moscow, devoting himself to writing.
