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 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.

REVIEWS

"The Ringing Cedars of Russia invites us to step into a world where love is the primary creative force behind real physical events. This energy of love shows us how to focus on the here and now, in which happiness is revealed. It also guides us in the healing of our relationship with the whole planet."
-- Dr Richard Bolstad, New Zealand psychologist, author of RESOLVE: a new NLP model of therapy and Creating a cooperative world

"The Ringing Cedars Series will impact a new generation of readers, like the works of Carlos Castaneda did for a previous generation -- only this time through awakening the latent spiritual connection each of us has with nature. This is not about a walk in the woods, rather these books catapult us to an entirely new way of being on planet Earth."
-- Steven Foster, American naturalist, author of A field guide to medicinal plants and herbs

ABOUT THE RINGING CEDARS SERIES

In 1994 a Siberian elder told entrepreneur Vladimir Megre a fascinating story about 'ringing cedars' -- trees respected from Biblical times for their power to re-connect Man with the Divine. The elder told him where such a ringing cedar was growing in the Siberian backwoods. Vladimir Megre set out on an expedition to find the tree, but his encounter with the elder's granddaughter, named Anastasia, transformed him so deeply that he abandoned his commercial plans and, penniless, went to Moscow to fulfil his promise to Anastasia and write a book about the spiritual insights she so generously shared with him.

What happened next has thrilled and inspired millions. With no advertisement other than word of mouth, books of the Ringing Cedars Series have sold over 10 million copies in Russia alone and have been translated into 20 languages, making Vladimir Megre one of Russia's most widely read authors. Inspired by the Ringing Cedars, thousands of people are now planting trees, changing their lifestyle and, in search for a spiritual re-connection with the Earth, relocating to new eco-villages sprouting all over Russia and beyond. Thousands of readers have felt a huge creative upsurge and started writing poetry and songs and doing paintings.

These mind-stirring books read like a fascinating novel, have the authenticity of a documentary account and present spiritual insights of incredible depth. Spanning dozens of subjects from child-rearing to gardening, from adventure to the meaning of human life, from megalithic science to breast-feeding and from sexuality to religion, they present an incredibly beautiful and equally practicable vision of humanity's spiritual connection to Nature that helps us understand ourselves and heal our Earth.

As Vladamir Megree, the transcriber of Anastasia's Truth would say: "Wow, Anastasia you are living in tune with nature!" And as we have been warned both by Luddites and sensitives, our mechanical/electronic inventions, one by one erode away our innate abilities to be in contact and communicate with all that is. Two examples: The mature cedar trees of the Siberian Tiaga wish to be cut down and distributed as little discs for folks to wear so that the cosmic radiation they have stored up over 500 years can be reradiated back to mankind. When you plant your garden, stand barefoot in the soil and put some of your seeds under your tongue for a few minutes so that the seeds can read your energy field and bring forth fruits that will heal your weaknesses and make you whole. A delightful and inspiring book. It is the first of a series of 10

The books in this series are so good that the people I've lent them to have ordered their own copies, knowing that they would want to read them again (and again). They are books that you want to live with; they are books you want to live. After reading the ringing cedars series life can never be the same. Book 2 follows the skeptic's journey back into city life, where he asks all the questions the first book may have left you with...and proceeds to answer them.

The only thing being "sold" here is a better life. This is not a religion but a simple truth raised to the 10th power. I had to push myself forward due to my distaste of the author being such an incredible jerk. I kept reminding myself that he is writing the books and therefore must be learning, as am I, as I read. This is a life changing read.

This review is for the whole series of "Ringig Cedars" books: The main message of these books is brought forth in an extremely powerful way, and has changed my perspective on life forever more. I resonate deeply wth Anastasia's perpective on the value of creating our living space within the splendor of nature and feeding ourselves from our own gardens. I wish I had read these books sooner, so that I could have started on this new course of life earlier . . .

Anastasia is a highly advanced spiritual recluse of the Siberian forest of Russia who is perfectly capable of practicing conscious astral projection and instant remote viewing all built on her close contact with her higher self which surpasses anything I have ever seen except the Masters of the Far East.

This second book explores the struggles of Megre in Moscow who abandoned his merchant marine business to start a group of spiritual entrepreneurs. Yet because of this he made the mistake of postponing the writing of the first Anastasia book as instructed by her. Yet after a few mishaps in Moscow he turned around deciding at last to start writing Anastasia's first storybook.

How in the world did she reach such high level of understanding and her evident dominion over limitations, and the power to soften the resistance of people to yield to something spiritually higher?

The answer lies in the fact that she has been living since birth in absolute harmony with nature, a life based on a lucid conscious contact with her higher self, and other constructive powers.

Anastasia appears to descend from a family line of non dogmatic people who trough thousands of years of isolation in the Taiga have preserved the purity of their emotions through contact with nature, vegetarianism, clean water, pure air, and free from: electronic radiation, medical drugs, greed, fear, rivalry, antagonism, competition and other evils.

This series of nine books is mysteriously able to steer the thought, to motivate the reader to do better and the positive evidence points to the fact we are in the presence of a highly developed spiritual psychic.

I recommend this second book and the whole series to everyone.

I am writing this as an avid fan and supporter of the Anastasia series, but please do not read the translation that is in the Black Covered books. The encoded language that Anastasia uses in the books has been distorted in these versions. If you want the true, authentic language order the books that have green covers. These black cover books are another method used by the powers that be to distort the truth and keep everything "in the dark."

Reading this book brings fresh insights into the nature of reality. One example is a quote from an article by Anatoly Akimov which distinguishes between the two ways of perceiving nature. The Western model is based on evidence and experiments, while the Eastern approach receives knowledge from an external source through meditation. Realizing that we can once again connect with this esoteric approach which has access to what he calls the Universal brain brings hope for a direct connection to the Absolute. The new field of Energy Psychology does just this--plugs into this universal knowledge bank through kinesiology, also called muscle-testing. Anastasia says, "All essential information has been included in...every man right from the start."
While the parts of this volume about the author's difficulties establishing an association of entrepreneurs is a bit tedious, the gems of wisdom around this section are well worth the read. An important point Anastasia makes is that all the mechanical devices we are inventing are supposed to make our life easier--but instead, they make us into biological robots who do not have enough time to contemplate the essence of our being or to reflect on our own destinies. Reconnecting to nature by gardening brings us back into connection with our true essence.

I personally wanted to know everything concerning Anastasia and Vladamir, therefore, I felt Book 2 was necessary to the whole story. Mostly it is about Vladamir trying to get his book published. He doesn't do things exactly the way Anastasia laid it out for him and he creates some very difficult times for himself.
So, for me, I enjoyed the book. And let me tell you that Book 3 more than makes up for anything you may think is lacking in Book 2. Continue on with the series . . . . .
Anyone reading this review, remember that this is a TRUE account of Anastasia and Vladamir. It's hard to keep that in mind all the time because you are reading of things you didn't realize were possible. This is a most remarkable series; it will change the way you view our Reality.

I HIGHLY recommend reading all the books in this series for all who are seeking spiritual growth.
