Thomas McHugh is fighting for our country, across the globe and decades before Fallen Billow was even born. So there's no way they're soul mates. There's no way he can be desperate to see her, hold her, kiss her. Except there is. Anastasianism proposes a whole new model of social organisation, that of the "kinship homesteads", many of which constitute larger "kinship settlements". [15] The Anastasian movement has become one of the most successful new religious movements in Russia, [16] and from there it has then spread to other Slavic countries, broader Eastern Europe, and communities have also been established in the West. [17] In Russia, Anastasians have faced the hostility of the Russian Orthodox Church. [18] Overview [ edit ] Sun Birch Tree, by the Russian artist Lola V. Lonli, 2000. In the Anastasian doctrine, God, Rod, is the eternal spiritual flow of life; its thought manifests itself as the spiral of time, of the year and the solar day, and concretely as the cycles of nature, of never-ending birth–death–rebirth. [19] This continuous creation, or spiritual emanation, is symbolically represented by the tree of life, of which all entities are branches; the term Anastasia ("resurrection" and "incorruption") means being conscious of being eternal-living branches of the tree of the eternal spirit of God.

Vladimir Megre's The Ringing Cedars of Russia manuals define the ideas they expound as " Vedism" and " Paganism", implying that the latter is a continuation of the former, and at the same time they explain that Paganism, and even more so Vedism, may not be defined as a "religion" but more correctly as a "culture of the way of life". [31] Megre's books often make reference to specifically "Slavic" traditions, [31] and most Anastasians identify the "Paganism" of Megre's books as the pre-Christian Slavic religion. [32]Megre's experiences on the Ob River voyages form the central narrative of his best-selling series of books, The Ringing Cedars of Russia (Russian: Звенящие Кедры России tr. Zvenyashchiye Kedry Rossii) , written between 1996 and 2010. The first volume, Anastasia, was printed on credit at the Moscow Print Press Number 11 and the first copies were sold by the author himself in the Moscow metro.

Vladimir Megre (Russian: Влади́мир Никола́евич Мегре́; né Puzakov; Russian: Пузако́в; born 23 July 1950) is a Russian entrepreneur and writer best known as the author of the Ringing Cedars of Russia (also known as Anastasia) series of books, which since the 1990s has given rise to a homonymous socio-religious movement.

Fate has etched paths for Thomas and Fallen that even time cannot touch. A Purple Heart proclaims Thomas' valor and bravery. And his death. But Fallen dares to dream of the impossible. She wants Thomas to stay. Just stay. The education of children should contribute, first of all, to the development of the speed of thought, through a system of questions and independently found answers, and then it should be vocational as among the ancient Vedrus, and knowledge should also be transmitted from generation to generation during the major holidays, viewed as moments of "information exchange". [69] As the ideal school model, Megre proposes that of the "ancestral school" (родовой школой, rodovoy shkoloy) first established in 1994 in Tekos, Krasnodar Krai, by Mikhail Shchetinin, which follows the same ideal of a vocational education held in natural settings and through a direct involvement with the works of nature. [78] Many Anastasian settlements have established their own schools. [78] Ozhiganova compared the educational ideal of the Anastasians to that of the primitivists, especially Jean-Jacques Rousseau who in Emile, or On Education criticised urban life as "an abyss for the human race" where "races perish or degenerate over time" and advocated a renewal through the return to village life and natural education. [79] The Anastasians believe that modern urban life is a system that binds people in unnatural ways of conduct, that it is "a structure that works by itself and distracts a person from nature".

In Anastasianism, a man is believed to form only as the result of a series of "rites of creation" (обрядов сотворения, obryadov sotvoreniya), or of initiation, of which in the Vedrussian tradition, according to Megre's books, great importance is given to the "rites of love" (обрядам любви, obryadam lyubvi), which include "matchmaking", "wedding", the "creation of the three planes of existence", and the "ancestral rites". [89] According to Anastasian teachings a person is born in the "three planes of existence", coalescing into the "love space", that is the kinship homestead: the first plane is the mind of the parents, where two loves merge into one; the second plane is the astral one, the outer space, where a new star is lit up once the parents unite their bodies; the third plane is the physical one, where the child is physically born. [90] and superficial limitations that seem to separate us one from another – they simply go straight to the very core of our being.The kinship homestead is a parcel of land of not less than one hectare (100×100m) for the permanent residence of one family, where the family can build a house with love, plant a family tree, own a forest, a garden, and equip a pond. The kinship homestead is enclosed by a hedge of forest cultures: cedar, coniferous and deciduous trees, shrubs. [98] The primary concern of the series is the correct approach to planning, conceiving and raising children, which should all occur at the same location: a family homestead, or self-sufficient plot of land surrounded by a hedge with a water source, dwelling, woods, a meadow, vegetable gardens, berries, herbs, mushrooms, a greenhouse, sauna and beehives. The homestead should be created by a mother and father for the health and enjoyment of posterity. [6]
