I learned about this remarkable book in passing research on the web, and talked about it to a friend and colleague. She and I routinely discuss the latest scientific principles and how they validate spirituality rather than disprove it. On any given day we will discuss String Theory, Cosmology, Neural Physics, or any other interesting tidbit we've read or seen. (Not surprisingly our favorite shows inclue 'Through the Wormhole, TED talks, etc.)
Upon hearing my description of the book, we both proceded to look up the 'Ringing Cedars Press' and find out more about this incredible outpouring of natural knowledge. I was astounded to learn that much of what was talked about was in line with what I had been taught by the spirit of my Grandfather. This validation of my beliefs and works resonated very clearly through this manifestation. So my co-worker set about arranging with the library loan system to get us two copies to read.
The first book arrived and my friend let me read it first since she had other things she wished to read. Upon opening the book and delving in to the first couple of chapters, I was even more astounded that many of the principles I've worked with, including thought-form realization, resonance with nature, and much more were spelled out in the pages of this book. Many of the principles that I've begun to describe in this blog are put in to a riviting story of a man's journey and unexpected meeting in the Siberian Taiga (forests).
My initial reaction was of wonder that such an outpouring of knowledge and light could come from Russia. Like many of my generation, we have been taught to believe that Russia was a place of darkness, yet from there has come an incredible light. A movement brought about by this series of books that will change the face of this planet. Yes, I believe the message is that powerful and I recommend this book and series highly to anyone who will read it. If you are already a believer in the power of good and love, it will be an affirmation and validation empowering your works. If you are not, this series may just change your life. This is a book both Christians and Non-Christians alike can appreciate.
I will warn ahead of time, though, it is very strongly slanted towards Christianity, but as I have emphasized, we are all working for the good and this philosophy is not in conflict. Being a druid, however, I have to take a slight exception to the implication that Man is the only creature with a soul from the creator. All life is a manifestation of the soul of the creator. We are all connected with this life force, all a part of the greater whole. We need to acknowledge this fact that within the creatures around us is the same living soul as gives us life. It is the principle which Anastasia represents and why the creatures and plants acknowledge and assist her, not because of her 'dominion' but because of her one-ness of being with them.
That said, I pretty much agree with the message presented and whole-heartedly support the movement to go back to nature. I highly recommend this series to anyone upon the path of enlightenment.
