RINGING CEDARS MOVEMENT

## **Birth of a beautiful phenomenon in society: Ringing Cedars Movement**

Anastasia's characterization of our modern day reality and her story – or more precisely, the image she has created of the beautiful future of Russia and of the whole earth – have given birth to a beautiful phenomenon in society. Without waiting for decrees to be handed down from on high, or for government financing, tens of thousands of people have independently set about turning this image created by Anastasia into actual reality. You can understand the main idea for building our future country by reading the books in order. But if I were to try to briefly – not in its entirety – present the idea that is helping these positive transformations take place, I could characterize it using the following words.

### **Family Homestead/Kin Domain/Space of Love**

Anastasia thinks that every family should have its own plot of land that’s no less than one hectare in size. The family needs to transform this plot, which the taiga hermit calls a family homestead, into a heavenly living oasis that can provide for all of man’s material needs. The external appearance of the person’s living creation and the way the creator himself lives on it are indicators of the person’s spiritual makeup. She considers it unacceptable to bury family members in a cemetery. They must be buried only on the family homesteads. Then the souls of relatives who have passed on won’t suffer because their bodies seem to have been tossed into some deep hole in a cemetery, far away from their loved ones. People who are buried on the family homestead will – with their spirit – help and protect those living on it.

   Cemeteries analogous to our modern ones did exist back in antiquity, too, but they were intended for animals that dropped dead from disease, criminals with no family, and warriors who died in a foreign land.

   Anastasia has told us how to set up our own family homestead so that we can free ourselves from physical ailments with its help.

### **Ancient Rite of marriage**

   She has talked in relatively great detail about the ancient and very lovely **rite of marriage** that helped newlyweds – along with the power of their thought – create the design for their future family homestead, and about how at the moment of marriage, with the participation of the parents, relatives and friends, what they had conceived in thought would materialize in the space of several minutes. I think that this rite is one of the greatest discoveries of our millennium. After all, by using it, newlyweds even today can acquire a house, a garden and a family homestead right during their wedding.

### **Love never fades, but actually grows stronger**

   Anastasia also asserts that for newlyweds who create their family homesteads in this way, love never fades, but actually grows stronger over the years. And she explains why this happens: “When a husband looks at his wife, he subconsciously associates her with his glorious homestead, too, and also with his child, who must also be born on the homestead.” And one can believe in this. After all, the very best place on earth for each person is always his small motherland. His child will always be the most beautiful and best of all children.

### **The whole earth will be transformed**

   And Anastasia also asserts that if all people, or the majority of them, begin consciously creating their own family homesteads and turning them into heavenly oases, then the whole earth will be transformed. Natural disasters and wars will not occur on earth. Man’s inner spiritual world will change, and new knowledge and capabilities will open up to him. Man will be able to create beautiful worlds resembling the earthly world on other planets.

### **Hundreds of large and small settlements that have arisen**

   Official critics might respond to the subjects of the books and to the taiga hermit’s statements in any of a number of ways, but their opinions aren’t really so very important. The people – the most important critics – have already expressed their approval in tens of thousands of letters and hundreds of thousands of emails. They’ve expressed it not only in words, but in concrete actions, too, and the hundreds of large and small settlements that have arisen and continue to arise throughout all of Russia are confirmation of this.
