Ringing Cedar Books, Part 4

I've given a few details from my book report on Vladimir Megre's nine books. Now I'll give you my views on the positives and negatives.

First, the negative. Parts of the writings are quite fanciful and unbelievable. Anastasia has more power than is credible. If she truly had such powers then she alone could bring peace on earth pretty much by herself.

She attributes her great intelligence to being raised in the wild away from corrupting influences yet in real life those raised apart from much human contact usually suffer from stunted development.

It is fairly incredible that she is one of a kind and there are not more of her. She also does not mention the Masters. She may not agree with them if she did know of them for she doesn't believe in hierarchy. At the same time it is ironic that she is becoming a hierarchical head of a new world movement that many are looking to for guidance.

She teaches that our planet is the only place in the universe with humans like ourselves. There is life on other planets but they are not in the image of God.

This does not register with me correctly as I believe that there are many worlds out there with humans equal to ourselves, though such worlds may be somewhat far apart. The concept of the spiritual Hierarchy is built on the principle that many solar systems have passed away that were inhabited by humans that evolved into higher beings that now nurture the lower lives.

Her accumulating the power to physically teleport herself to any place in the universe, a power she acquired on her own with no teacher, is pretty fantastic. The coming alien invasion also stretches the imagination and looks like it was modeled after the television series "V".

If she is an advanced spiritual being then why did she seduce a married man? Another mystifying thing is that Vladimir rarely mentions his wife and her reaction though he does say she was not jealous and accepted what happened. Doesn't sound anything like the reaction I would get from my wife or any other wives I know.

Overall Anastasia seems to be against technology and teaches that living close to nature will make you smarter and more developed. I conceded that being close to nature has its virtues but so does technology. If one compares those closest to nature in our real world with those who have the most advanced technology there is quite a difference. Obviously those who live in the wilds as does Anastasia are the tribal people and these people do all kinds of things at we would not want to incorporate. They practice everything from cannibalism, to mutilation, to deforming their bodies to human sacrifice. As these people are introduced to our civilization along with technology they cease doing these things.

In our country, those living closest to Anastasia's ideal would be the Amish. These people do not seem to have any spiritual or intellectual advantage over the rest of us except that their society as a whole is fairly peaceful. But they are fairly dogmatic and their main source of learning is the Bible to exclusion of many things civilization has available.

The detailed story of one little girl in the future forcing the nations to lay down their arms is very fanciful. A lot of people with a belief similar to Vladimir present the idea that children are really smarter than we are and we should listen to them. While it is true that there is a time and place to be childlike the hard truth is that children need direction from adults much more than the other way around. He does have a point though that the way we educate our children needs reform and they are capable of self-learning much more than educators realize.

He writes that we all should have a hector of land, which is about two and a half acres. This actually is possible in Russia since there are about 30 acres available for each person or about 100 for each family if all the land were equally divided. Russia has about four times the land per person as the United States. Other nations are so densely populated that a hector of land for each family would be impossible. For instance, Monaco has about 66 people for each acre available and Singapore has about 29. The United Kingdom has about one acre per person.

One must also keep in mind that much of the land on the planet is not usable for farming.

Overall I am prone to believe that the books are a combination of fact and fiction. He may have met a person who inspired him to create the character of Anastasia but I do not think she is to be taken literally. In fact he hints at the idea that Anastasia is what we want her to be.

Does this then mean that Vladimir is not fulfilling the prophecy of creating the great new religion that is promised to come out of Russia?

Not necessarily. I'll explain more in my next installment.
