5.0 out of 5 stars
The beginning of almost everything, April 16, 2007
There are few books available which seek to answer the big questions in life: Where am I from? Why am I here? Where am I going?
And even fewer are the numbers that ignite the inner empathy of primal recognition.
From the first page to the last, this wonderful little book is packed full of delicious insights and understanding of `who I am'. The chapter devoted to the Creation story is a monumental description, if it were a painting it would equal the `Sistine Chapel' in majesty; the penetrating depth and softness are unparalleled in anything I have read or heard.
But there's more and more and more.

Quote from Book 5 as a series summary, June 1, 2008
Just started reading book 5 (for the second time! I never read books more than once...) and it kind of summarises what you get out of these books. The following is quoted from page 1 of Ringing Cedars book 5 (Who are We?) by Vladimir Megre:
"We are always in a hurry to get somewhere or get something. There is hardly a single one of us who doesn't desire to lead a happy life, find love and establish a family. But how many of us will actually achieve our desire?
What determines our satisfaction or dissatisfaction with life? What determines our success or failure? What constitutes the meaning of life for each and every Man and for all mankind as a whole? What kind of future awaits us?
These questions have been around for a long time, but nobody has managed to come up with an intelligible answer. But I wonder: What kind of country will we be living in five or ten years from now? What kind of world are we leaving to our children? We really don't know. And, let's face it, none of us can ever picture our own future, because we are always hurrying off somewhere... but to where?
Strange, but true: the first clear glimpse I ever had about the future of our country came not from statisticians or politicians but from Anastasia, a recluse living in the wilds of the taiga. And not only did she present a picture of marvellous future, but showed step-by-step its feasibility even for our generation - a design, in fact, for the development of the whole country [and the world as a whole]."

Creation and inspired co-creators, January 27, 2009
This review is from: Co-Creation (The Ringing Cedars, Book 4) (Paperback)
This is the best and truest interpretation of Earth's and Man's creation I have ever read. It echos the voices of so many of the Earth's greatest teachers, while weaving, in a simple and direct way, the intricate tapestry of how we came into being. Our creator is presented as an inspired, passonate, compassionate, and loving God - a true portrait free from the dogmatic view of a God who embodies the basest of human emotions, revenge, jealousy, anger, and severe punishment. It has opened my understanding of who humans truly are, and why we were loved into being.
