Good afternoon people.

It’s hard to know where to start anastasia. The book is a very fun read, but the central question is: is Anastasia real?

The Ringing Cedars series consists of nine books written by a Russian businessman. The series documents his encounters with a very unique and talented girl in a remote forested area of ​​Russia. What the businessman, Vladimir Megre, discovers is that the incredibly beautiful Anastasia grew up in the forest and is able to communicate and command animals, and this is just the beginning.

Anastasia is exceptionally intelligent, and despite being raised in such an isolated Siberian location, she has highly informed and thoughtful views on our modern world. In addition to being a stone cold vixen, Anastasia doesn’t wear many clothes and never sits down to eat proper meals, instead she snacks throughout the day on berries or nuts brought to her by her animal minions.

Strange? Yes incredible? Maybe, but I really don’t care. What matters most to me is whether there is any useful information in the book that can contribute to a more sustainable human species.

Now I have to admit something here. Strange and fantastic stories have always attracted me. I love how these stories broaden your horizons and ask you to go against the grain of common wisdom. Frankly, common wisdom is all too common sometimes. As I’ve gotten older, my attraction to stories like this for the sake of entertainment hasn’t diminished, but I’ve seen weird stuff before. I’ve been there and done that. What I want to know is what I can get out of it. The translator describes the series as a cross between Star Wars and the Bible, so what are the deep nuggets we can get out of The word according to Yoda?

I think there are many. More than anything else anastasia it shows us what we can become once we free ourselves from ourselves. I am completely convinced that this planet is the madhouse of the galaxy, and the doctors have pretty much let the patients go insane to cure themselves, or not. As a species, we are fighting with all our might to do so, but we still think it’s an acceptable plan to dress up in fun green outfits and go kill complete strangers. We still allow our dreams to die inside of us while we work boring jobs in boring corporations because everyone else is doing the same. If anything, Anastasia’s story highlights these facts by sheer contrast.

It might be a stretch to think that going to the nearest woods, taking off your clothes, and engaging in a telepathic conversation with the first squirrel you see is a recipe for happiness for most of us, but I don’t think that’s the moral of this story. .

We live on a living being, the Earth, which has provided us with everything we have. Everything. This incredible planet has sublime and impressive life systems that we are only beginning to understand. Our technological gadgets are toys by comparison. When our creativity and inventiveness works in line with these systems, we touch infinity, but when we ignore nature, we tend to run into some drawbacks, like being tied to a dirty, messy, polluting, inefficient power supply system. and outdated. or cataclysmic wars to control the aforementioned antiquated energy system. (ie World War I, World War II, the Gulf War, the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, ad nauseam…).

This book was written in Russian and has inspired millions of Russians to leave the city and establish ecovillages in the vast hinterland of the Motherland. Small private gardens represent 54% of that nation’s agricultural production, and this represents 7% of the total land used for agricultural purposes. Food independence is extremely efficient and very possible, and as I said in my square foot gardening review, I think it’s the greenest thing to do.

One of the more interesting passages relates that the seeds can be charged to restore a particular human’s health and fantastic taste if that human places the seeds in their mouth for at least nine minutes. I don’t know if this has any validity, but I’ll have it in a few months. I planted my greens yesterday, and damn if I didn’t give every one of those seeds a spit soak. Like I said before, I don’t care if it’s weird. I only care if it works.

The mystery of whether or not Anastasia is real adds to the book’s appeal, but it is ultimately an aside. As fact or fiction, anastasia It is a valid and timely call for all of us to get rid of the corporate boob, rediscover ourselves with the rhythms of nature and enjoy self-sufficiency.
