There are around 300 kin’s domain settlements in and around Russia already or in progress. Even with that there are only about five that are viable functioning communities and only one that is thriving with nearly 100 kin’s domains after eight years. In the rest of the world I know of no currently functional or thriving kin’s domain communities.

The majority of those early settlers who started kin’s domain settlements have left them and returned to the cities. To them I wish to say THANK YOU. Not for failing, not for returning to the cities, but for demonstrating to the rest of us what is needed! Without their efforts and demonstration, I and others would certainly have gone down the exact same path. Because of their demonstrations we can review their actions and results and better understand what we must do to succeed in creating the dream we all share.

What I have learned as a result of their early demonstrations is

  • I must begin the transition where I live right now rather than waiting until I am on a hectaure of land. I must begin eliminating my commercial lifestyle NOW.
  • I must spend more time outdoors NOW and less time in my cozy home disconnected from the perfection that is nature.
  • I must begin eating as I breathe NOW not after I have a hectare of land.
  • I must create a space of love where I already live. I must plant vegetables that grow for me. I must create loving relationships with all the plants that already surround my home. I must make my relationship with nature and myself my top priority in my everyday life NOW.
  • I must release my attachment to the illusions of joy NOW, and reconnect with the joy of being Man, a child of God, heir to all of God’s kingdom.
  • I must begin creating my vision of my kin’s domain and my kin’s domain settlement and then take full responsibility to create that and help others join me in this plan for heaven on earth.
  • I must enact the instruction from the Ringing Cedars Series and Anastasia as much as possible NOW rather than waiting until I have a hectare of land.

Thanks to the demonstration of so many who have tried the paths we are all tempted to follow, I know at least this much. Just applying these steps will make me more ready to successfully transition to my kin’s domain lifestyle and to participate in creating a thriving beautiful kin’s domain settlement that will be sustained far into the future.

My deepest gratitude to all those who have demonstrated my need to take these steps NOW before I move onto a hectare of land.

Wishing us all the fulfillment of the best dream we can imagine and speak,

Simon responded to a question I asked by saying
“Yes I generaly agree that desire is first expirenced as a thought ,I would add that
desire can also be first expirenced as an image or a feeling.”

I answered Simon with the following: I have explored this deeply for years and I don’t think it is quite accurate that images and feelings can be experienced separately. I have identified a cycle of mind activity that I demonstrate to my audiences with a visualizing activity that would be difficult to duplicate here. In that activity my audience can experience the thought cycle in a conscious manner and then experience that our conscious control point in that natural mind cycle is choice of language.

Mental Images appear from three sources,
Memory – of what has been seen in nature or what has been seen that another person created by the use of language.
Inspiration (also memory but from an unconscious level of activity) – even though the origin of inspired images is unclear to the receiver, every example I’ve been able to experience or research has been a result or re-arrangement of what has been seen in nature or what has been already created by another via language
Direct creating of the image via language. Except for the images created by language the only other source of image is what already exists in nature and even that may have been created with language originally. In the Bible, John 1:1 it says, “In the beginning was the word. the word was with God and the word was God.” The only change in the latin Vugate translation is the last phrase which says, “God was the Word.”

Here’s the mind cycle I referred to above:
ALL language creates a mental image (more accurately, all sound creates a mental image, even the letters of words).
ALL images and even all fragments of images are felt in the mind and therefore will be felt physically also (what you are feeling is the vibration of the sound/image).
ALL feelings stimulate more language (conscious and unconscious).
You can REMEMBER an inner feeling you have felt before but you cannot CREATE an inner feeling without the inner sound (usually language) that vibrates in such a way that it produces a particular image and feeling. The importance of feelings are that they we are nearly always conscious of them even though the language/image may be UNconscious (often is). Therefore, feelings are a VERY important access to our unconscious creating.

If you bring a feeling into your conscious mind from a memory, you will not be able to hold that feeling in place for it to manifest in your physical experiene IF your everyday language is unconsciously creating images and feelings that are in conflict with the remembered feeling that you would like to keep. (That is usually the case at this time in our collective evolution or awakening).

The same thing happens if you bring a remembered Image into your mind. You will not be able to hold that image in place long enough to allow it to manifest in your physical experience IF you are unconsciously using everyday language that is creating counter-images that are in conflict with the remembered image that you would like to keep.

That is also true if you use language to create a new image as so many of us are doing with our kins domains. We are talking about what we would like in our effort to create the details of the image (and therefore the physical experience) of our kins domain. As we fill in those details and get a clearer image that can begin to manifest, we will only manifest the preferred image of the kins domain to the degree that the rest of our everyday language supports that preferred image.

If our everyday language is being driven by old UNconscious programming, and if that is creating mental images that are in conflict with our preferred image of kin domain life, our subconscious activity (God) MUST manifest the future that will include those (unwanted) feelings as well. We’ve all experienced a LOT of that, where we actually got what we created but it didn’t feel so good or work so well after we got it.

To continue the cycle, inner feeling generates more language. We talk about our feelings, we think about them, we try to understand them, make them go away, make them stay, improve them, etc. All of that is done with inner and outer language or even with just rudimentary sounds (like crying, laughing, moaning, etc.).

In that cycle of language-creates-image-which-is-then-felt, our only true control point in co-creating, is through language (silent or out-loud or both). Language forms the old and new programs which run through our mind and conversations over and over, unconsciously. Even though they are unconscious they are continutally creating images which may be conscious or unconscious, and therefore feelings which are generally conscious but can be blocked by numbness. Even though the programming runs unconsciously, we can bring it to our conscious awareness at any time and change or tweak the programming.

At the collective level, humans are just beginning to become aware of this level of previously unconscious mind activity. I call it the beginning level of God-Self awareness. We are learning that we have always been unconsciously working the God-control panel of our lives, and are beginning to practice with consciously working the God-control panel of our lives.

Simon continued his thought about desires being created by feelings and images by saying…and then it is defined and held with more thoughts,

My answer to Simon: YES, and I would add that it is defined and held with thoughts, further images or a focus of your energy. I already talked about images. At the mind level, energy can only be focused by thought (energy is subtle electrical fields and flow in the physical expression). Ultimately, thought can only be focused (organized) by language or sound. Language is simply complex organization of rudimentary sounds.

Simon wrote: You asked for my My thoughts on 1 timothy 6,10
the normal (king james,american) translation “for the love of money is the root of all kinds
of evils etc is not my favorit translation, I think that the latin Vugate translation is best.
it goes “For desire is the root of all evils. some persons, hungering in this way, have strayed from the faith and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.”

This is the second time that when looking into a bible passage that the latin Vugate translation, to me makes more sence (you can find it at www.sacredbible.org/studybible/index.htm) ,what do you think/feel about the different translations?

My answer: Thank you for introducing me to the latin Vugate translation of the Bible, Simon. I have not known of it before and I appreciate the link. I generally do not study the bible. I read it through several times as a child and a teenager but as an adult I rely mostly on my memory of that.

I would say that wrong (not aware of god/love/perfection ) desire is the root of all evil. I am not comfortable with the word wrong without clarification of its intent. The only thing that would make a choice “wrong” would be that it results in a manifestation of experience that is other than the one preferred. There can be no true “wrong” choices (determined by a moral judgment of right and wrong.)

Simon wrote: the ringing cedars on the three paragraphs starting “So much depends on”(page 246)
the way I would say it is-
how strong the feeling/desire is: is the disire in tune/alined with your overall goals?
are the goals of a nature that forces of light/ancestors/etc want to help with it?

My answer: This line contains a very big collection of information that must be addressed. Here, I would have to ask the kind of questions that Zorak (a forum friend) asks so well. Who are you? Who are these forces of light/ancestors/etc? Answer that truthfully and the entire discussion changes. Does being a “force of light” mean they are immune from any kind of error? (as you have asked in another application) (Does error even truly exist?) If light forces are immune to error, wouldn’t dark forces also be immune to error? If not, how did that occur? Who is the “authority” who can decide what is force of light and what is force of darkness? Where is grey in that scale? Does being an ancestor mean no errors are made and their understanding is impeccable and worthy of being an “authority” in accepting or rejecting your personal attempted creation? How do ancestors get the kind of authority and power to decide if your creation will be manifested? Who grants authority to whatever “beings” or “forces” are deciding if your image will be manifested? What if ancestors are aligned with the dark forces like Anastasia’s great grandfather who was one of the six priests? Your sentence, that is referred to here, has no true meaning until you have answered all of those questions and more.

Simon continued: all the above would play a part in how effective the thought is .
how would you put it?

I would say that Anastasia was explaining to Vladimir in language and structure that he could understand and accept. The real and whole truth is present in the next paragraphs when she said that it is still Man’s desire that is first and foremost! In several places throughout the books she has referred to thought as the fundamental element of creating. In Book three (new version) page 213 at the bottom of the page it says, “Thought is the chief instrument of the Great Creator.” If one understands the Great Creator to be separate from Man then the next sentences in the book are needed to communicate a degree of understanding. If one understands that the term child of God is a way to communicate the experience of God (single universal consciousness) becoming self-aware in the collective physical experience of mankind, the words chosen to communicate that process would be a bit different. Anastasia has said that she has chosen to communicate in the language of Vladimir and to bring him to understanding from his own starting point.

On the forum when I wrote about the experience of core Self (God-Self) I didn’t say one very important thing that applies a bit to this discussion. Common to nearly everyone, after returning to everyday life from an experience of Core-Self, is the awareness that the commonly accepted arrangement of language is no longer capable of fully and precisely communicating the Truth. One automatically begins using other arrangements of language made of the same words but arranged differently because of the awareness of another level of meaning that one is attempting to communicate. When Anastasia said she was communicating to Vladimir with his language I’m sure this is what she was referring to. The truth is contained in her words but sometimes it is additionally communicated in a form that is arranged to communicate to one with a current lack of awareness of that other level of meaning.

Throughout the books I have noticed how Anastasia has carefully, slightly and steadily rearranged the words she uses to gently (almost imperceptibly) move the reader’s understanding (and Vladimir’s) closer to the real truth that is beneath every thing we are experiencing and have experienced as humans on this planet. I have been amazed and thrilled with her ability to do that so effectively.

Simon commented: two other comments
FEELINGS, are (can be) much better (quicker) than thoughts in understanding things.

My answer: The above discussion of the cycle of mind activity touched on this. When you feel something, you are feeling the combined vibration of words from the images created by that particular arrangement of words (information). As you indicate in your next sentence there is a very big difference between “getting” the feeling and assembling the proper words in the proper order to be able to effectively communicate that feeling to another.

Simon: and if you know something fully you should be able to make it simple enough, so that a child (say around 7) could be able to understand you.

My response: Are you referring to a child of 7 like most of us are familiar with, or a child of 7 at the level of Anastasia’s children (and there is a child of 7 version for everything in between.) In the manner that our collective children are currently experiencing life and themselves I do not agree that reducing information to simple enough or clear enough terms should or will result in them being able to understand it. MUCH information is typically needed to restore the child to its pristine openness and capacity to learn from within (as is also needed for adults who have learned to see themselves as separate from nature/God).

A child (or adult) capable of fully understanding what I (and many others) teach MUST experience that information from within. It cannot come from outside even though we are compelled to continually try. I have seen my role for the past 14 years as dual 1) placing signs announcing the existence of another state of Self-Awareness that is worth finding (creating). 2) Clarifying my language presentation of that other level of Self-Awareness to make my own life align ever more fully with Truth.

For 14 years I have been astride of two worlds in my awareness. First I was aware that a small part of my awareness had passed over the line into that larger self-awareness. Gradually I have moved more and more of my everyday experience and creation into that awareness.

I adored Anastasia’s demonstration of living mostly in that larger self-awareness. She has given us all some better arrangements of language to use in creating a duplicable image of everyday life in that larger self-awareness. But more importantly, she has provided within that image, the method to restore anyone to that full inner connection that will eliminate the need to teach others about the truth of Self and the Universe, including children. That method is, of course, creating and then living in a space of love where all the subtle electrical energies of that space are aligned with Love.

A gentleman named Simon has been presenting some very excellent questions to me lately.  Most of them are from his reading of the Ringing Cedars Series but they are universal questions as well.  As I was forming my answers to his questions I realized that I have been asked various versions of these questions many times. 
Simon’s questions incorporate both the Ringing Cedars information and the information I teach about humanity becoming conscious of our role as (co)creator.  So, I decided to post the questions and answers on this blog. 
The next three or so blogs will be about Simon’s questions.  Here is his first question where Vladimir was asking why all our desires aren’t manifested.  It is followed by my answer.

As I said, I would quote ring cedars when I found the bit I was thinking of, anyway here it is.  Its from  - Who Are We – Your Desires- page 246 (in Original English Edition of book)“So much depends on how meaningful the goal is. on whether the desire corresponds to the light or the dark. On how strong the desire is. The more substantial and bright the goal the more the forces of light are drawn to fulfil it.”

there is a bit more but reading it in context would make more sense.
Also do you have a comment on another quote which came to mind when reading your down load (As A Man Thinks), “the love of money is the root of all evil”
I’ve broken down the phrases of the above quotes and included them in my answer.

“So much depends on how meaningful the goal is.” What determines meaningfullness?  From the perspective of single consciousness, it would be based on how meaningful the goal is to you, the goal maker.  For example, a goal to live in a big expensive home may have great meaning for one person but have less meaning for another who would also like to have a big expensive home but unconsciously gives more value to an easier or simpler life style.
From the perspective of single consciousness, a goal’s meaningfulness would be determined by what kind of experiences it supports and whether those experiences are also supported by other goals held by the same person.  For example, a goal to get rich does not support any kind of experience by itself because the experience of “being rich” can be so varied.  One can get rich in a day and be in poverty again in a few days, weeks or years.  One can be rich and happy or rich and miserable, etc. 
If I choose to get rich so that I can be happy, one aspect of the meaningfulness of such a desire is that I hold a belief that money is the source of my happiness.  If I have another (conflicting) desire to become aware of myself as the (co)creator of my experiences, then I can not be fully aligned with the goal to get rich (because it would allow money to continue to be my source of happiness).  
“…on whether the desire corresponds to the light or the dark.” Again, from the perspective of single consciousness, the dark might well be defined as “all thought that I hold that is against my joy and experience of God-Self awareness as Love and perfection.”  The light might conversely be defined as “all thought that I hold that supports my joy and experience of God-Self as Love and perfection.” 
For example, The thought or goal that I want to get rich so that I can be happy may be against my joy and recognition of God-Self as Love and perfection in this present moment.  If one is wanting riches to bring happiness, then one may be currently feeling less than happy.  Seeing riches as the way to happiness while one is currently feeling poor or denied wealth will resul in a future experience that will have to include some element of feeling poor or denied wealth.  That could be seen as being against one’s joy. 
If I desire to take from another because I have judged them (God-other) as undeserving or evil in some way, I am attempting to create something that is against my joy, and the resulting manifestation will also be against my joy.  
 
“On how strong the desire is.” Again, that is determined by aligned thought.  The more of one’s thought that is aligned with a desire the stronger the desire is.  We have many unconscious desires that we ignore but their alignment is nevertheless critical to strengthening or weakening a desire. 
A desire to be wealthy can be weakened by many conflicting desires.  A child who is born to wealth is less like to have learned and accepted so many conflicting desires.  A person who is not born to wealth will nearly always have MANY conflicting desires that weaken the desire to be wealthy.    Often to the point that the desire is nothing more than a fairy tale-like wish.  (Neither path is ultimately or morally better than the other.)
 
“The more substantial and bright the goal the more the forces of light are drawn to fulfil it.”  Let’s first define “bright goals” as those which “increase Love in our experience.”  Some ways that can occur are by increasing our ability to recognize Love, accept Love, be present with Love, or create Love. 
From the perspective of single consciousness, the more a goal “increases Love in our experience,” the more it will be aligned with our other thoughts, beliefs and goals that support our joy and our God-Self awareness.  We can feel that degree of alignment within and can see it very quickly in the outside world we exprience.   If a goal supports the diminishing of Love in our experience, it can still manifest if the beliefs that are aligned against our joy are stronger than the beliefs that support our joy.
 
Therefore, how strong a desire is, would probably be determined by how many of your everday thougthts/beliefs are aligned with it.
 
All of that is mechanics of thought.  There’s another level of awareness that is emerging world-wide in our generation, and it is supremely important.  As the unconscious (co)creator of our experiences (which we have likely chosen in order to become conscious of self as (co)creator), we have been unconsciously giving strength to our thoughts/beliefs that are against our joy and our recognition of God-Self.  We do that by passing judgment and naming people, forces or events ”evil” or “bad.”  Everything named “evil” or “bad” exists against our joy, at least in our experience of Self.
Our creator role as God-Self allows us to consciously transform ANY experience, person or thought, to light and love simply by recognizing it as Love. i.e., a gift of Love; God fulfilling us with Love; a Message of Love; etc.  That transformation can only be done consciously and each effort increases our ability to recognize love, receive love, be present with love and create love. 
 
Anastasia called that the “fightless fight.”  She was willing to take on any collective dark energy (against our human joy) simply by holding the truth in her mind along side the dark energy’s lie (that there exists something which is NOT God).  Presumably that truth is that everything serves Love, including the dark energies; and that God had not created man in error or weakness but as the complete and full child of God, heir to God’s full domain.  (All of that is mind activity!)
 
Regardless of what we UNconsciously believe or think that appears to be against our joy, as the children of God we all have, as part of our innate unconscious mind activity, the undiminishable desire to expand our capacity to experience Love, therefore no experience can exist that fails to move us closer to that goal. 
We begin to consciously recognize that truth and allow that experience when we consciously create the recognition and the awareness of Love in events and people where we previously believed (or thought) that love did not exist. 
“there is a bit more but reading it in context would make more sense.”  I would like to point out a paragraph following the one you quoted here:  Vladimir:  And if the goal is a dark one…?”  Anastasia:  “Then the dark forces take over — Man through his desire has given them the opportunity to act.  But, as you can see, it is still Man’s desire that is first and foremost!  Your desire, Valadimir.” 
 
Desire is first experienced in the mind (thought) and defined and held with more thought.  Desire in the mind gains strength by aligning more and more of our other thoughts (language/images/feelings) with that desire.
 
“Do you have a comment on another quote which came to mind when reading your down load (As A Man Thinks) “the love of money is the root of all evil” (I Timothy 6:10)
 As I mentioned above, any time we have made money the source of our joy or happiness, we have created against ourselves.  The resulting pereception of our experience will not be about Love.  Evil would be one way to describe what we perceive as the absence of love.  In truth, Love can never be absent.  It can only be absent in our perception of our experience.  Fortunately we are beginning to understand that we have the power to create our perception however we want it to be.
 
Money is an exchange of value, a substitute for value.  It has no inherent value of its own.  Loving that substitute for love occurs only when one has placed his power to create joy and happiness in the substitute rather than in his own being (Love), which is the true source of joy and happiness.  There is a very big difference between loving wealth and loving money.
Wishing us all the very best we can imagine and speak,

If you’ve read at least the first book of the Ringing Cedars Series, you may have noticed on page 89, last paragraph (newest edition) that Anastasia tells us to…

“…take it upon yourself to gather some cereal grain, thresh it, grind it into flour and then use the flour to bake bread.  This is extremely important.  Anyone consuming this bread even once or twice a year will build up a store of energy capable of awakening his inner spiritual powers – not only calming his soul but also exerting a beneficial influence on his physical condition.  This bread can be shared with relatives and close friends.  If shared with sincerity and love, it will have quite a beneficial influence on them as well.”

I don’t know how it is in Russia but in this country the majority of readers will unconsciously ignore this paragraph entirely because we generally have no knowledge base that would allow us to gather, thresh and grind grain, even if we do know how to make a loaf of bread. 

In fact the majority of Americans wouldn’t even be able to identify grains growing wild (or cultivated) or know when the grain is ready to be gathered.  I just made two loaves of bread using flour I harvested, threshed and ground.  It’s easier than you may think.  Here are the steps.

First of all, what is a cereal grain plant?  It’s an annual grass, mostly, and it looks like grass.  Corn is the most un-grasslike of the grains and is rarely ever found growing in the wild. 

However, wheat, rye, oats, sorghum or varieties of triticale are growing wild in most meadows and fields.  If you find an area that isn’t mowed, the seed heads appear from mid to late summer, depending on the grain.  It will look like tall wild grass and will likely have lots of other weeds growing around it. 

You don’t have to worry about harvesting from a wrong plant because the seeds from any annual wild grass that is tall and sends up a tall stalk with seed heads (3-5 feet tall) are edible and nutritious.  You’ll know it’s an annual grass because it will be drying up when the seed heads are ripe.

In wild grain plants, the seed (also called a fruit) is much smaller than in cultivated grains. They are ready to harvest when the tops are dry and the grass plant is also drying – usually late summer into early fall.  If you wait too long, the wind will harvest the grain before you get a chance to. 

You can collect the grain a couple ways.  You can cut the stalk down with the seed heads attached or you can carry a bag to collect the grain.  Bend the stalk so the seed head is inside the bag then grab hold of the stalk below the seed head and run your hand up to the top of the seed head.  If the seeds are ripe they will drop into the bag easily.

For about a cup of flour you’ll need to collect about  5 or 6 cups of seed heads.

If you decided to cut the stalks down, you’ll need to beat them onto a hard surface to separate the seeds from the stalk.  It will simplify the process if you beat the stalks onto a large sheet to collect the loosened seed heads. 

Whichever way you gather your grain you’ll end up with a pile of grain and chaff (no stems).  The chaff is the straw-like cover that surrounds the grain and it must be separated from the grain by threshing.

One way to thresh a small amount of grain is to put the pile of grain and chaff into something like an old (but sturdy) pillow case or tie up the sheet mentioned above (with the grain and chaff inside it.) 

Threshing is essentially beating the grain to cause the grain and chaff to separate.  You can do that by repeatedly walking or stomping on it (with hard soled shoes), swinging the bag of grain and repeatedly smashing it on a hard surface, or beating it with a wooden club or a leather strap until the grain and chaff separates. 

After threshing you’ll need to winnow the grain which removes the loose chaff from the pile of grain.  Get two large and wide containers.  I used one large bowl and a platter with a good amount of depth.  Don’t do this on a windy day or you’ll lose your grain. 

Go outdoors and slowly pour the grain/chaff from one container to the other.  Hold the pouring container high over the receiving container.  A gentle breeze will blow the chaff away but the seeds or grain will fall straight into the container. 

Pour back and forth (slowly) many times until their is no more chaff in the grain.  You may need to thresh it a little more to release more of the chaff.  I rubbed the grains together that still had chaff, in order to loosen it.  A small amount of chaff ground into your flour will not ruin your bread (it will add fiber).

When the chaff is cleaned out of the grain, you’re ready to grind it into flour.  I used a hand turned flour grinder but I’ve also used other equipment.  You can use a blender, a food processor or even a clean electric coffee grinder (for small amounts at a time).

When you have turned your grain into flour, you’re ready to make bread.  Any good cookbook has bread recipes or you can easily find one on the internet.  You can use only the grain you harvested or you can mix it with purchased flour (preferably organic).  If you think you might have rye or sorgum, you will definitely want to mix it with wheat flour.

I spent about 20-30 minutes gathering grain from a small area of my wild growing back lot.  I spent about 15 or 20 minutes threshing it, and about 20 – 25 minutes winnowing the grain.  If you use a blender or food processor to grind the grain it will only take you a couple minutes.

It’s a good Saturday or Sunday project for once or twice per year.  I could have easily harvested enough for another batch of bread later in the year.  If you do save flour for later, be sure to freeze it as it will go rancid quickly once it is ground.

Hopefully, this will help a lot of Americans make the very special bread mentioned in the Ringing Cedars book, Anastasia.

Blessings to you and yours,
