    Amanda, I LOVE that you are bringing this up! Just the other night, I was thinking about possibly writing a children’s book version of the Anastasia books. I’m a decent writer but a lousy artist, so I would need to work with a skilled illustrator. But I think there is a definite use for that! Making Anastasia‘s words digestible for little ones and with absolutely beautiful and inspiring imagery. Nothing of this sort exists yet, but who’s to say that it will be that way for long?

    Hello, Sarah!
    Seeing as you are in Arizona, and I am in Georgia… I’m not certain as of yet if I could be able to afford both the course itself as well as traveling expenses. I have a book on cob building… but I am much more of a hands-on learner. Would you be willing to record the workshop and then sell that at a different price? Just weighing my options. Thanks in advance.

    Having attempted polyamory once myself, (and even before I attempted it, I knew it was a bad idea) I can say from experience that the desire to be with multiple partners comes from a conscious or unconscious dissatisfaction with the partner you already have. If you were truly satisfied with your partner, you wouldn’t be seeking another, for any purpose, including bearing children. The problem is that we have been deeply misled… We have not been shown through the history of society how to properly love… none of us. Who among us had parents with a truly healthy relationship? Who among us was born from those who had a false union? How many of us grew up watching shows and movies where we were tricked into believing that love is based off pleasure-oriented sex? JT, it’s not personal. Most people are lost. I don’t think polygamy is evil: I think it is a temporary and illusory “solution” that comes from living in a false world. Just like men are going around calling themselves women and women are calling themselves men. It is a perfectly natural response to HIGHLY UNNATURAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND CONDITIONS. Psychopaths and sociopaths are becoming more and more common… all a result of just how far off the path of truth we have gotten. Just like Anastasia says that one cannot kill when one is in touch with one’s soul… I think a lot of people are disconnected from their souls… “We had to go to sleep in order to survive…”

    and when I sit with the thought of having multiple partners… my soul does not accept this as the truth. My soul regards this as infidelity and betrayal. I am not you and you are not me. You presented this on the community forum and said, “What say you?” You openly invited the opinions of others. Well, this is what people are saying. People feel very strongly about these topics, and we have every right to feel strongly about it. People’s experiences are what they are. If that’s the path you choose, you’ll see where it leads you. But asking for people’s opinions on a topic and then getting mad at them when they give their opinions… where has that gotten you?

    If you truly are not seeking the pleasure of sex with multiple partners, and have pure thoughts, and pure intentions, then by all means use your free will to try and find others who agree with your standpoint who also have pure thoughts and intentions. Report back and tell us how it goes. As for me personally: my heart does not feel right about it.

    I agree with Matthew!

    I admit I did have a little beef with Anastasia for having a child with Vladimir when he already had a wife, but Anastasia states very plainly that any certified “marriages” in our society are entirely illegitimate — but Vlad and his first wife had had “normal sex” (ie for pleasure, not out of a mutual inspiration of Love and Co-creation), and therefore the union was not sanctified. Anyone, married or not, who has sex for pleasure and not for love and co-creation, does not have a True relationship.

    Sex for pleasure is not how God intended it, it is not truly satisfying, and so anyone who participates in it will end up seeking satisfaction elsewhere — in other words, cheating. Vladimir was already cheating on his first “wife” because their bond was “legal” but illegitimate. After he and Anastasia “co-created,” and he became a Real Man, she had saved him from that “harmful sex” — and they had a true and lasting union. I do not believe this Bond is something we are meant to share with multiple people. It just sounds like an excuse to openly cheat on each other.

    “My doubt and confidence feel out of balance. Is effort required of me here?”

    I find myself in this conundrum often. Yet: I’m still detoxing and a part of the technocratic system. For now, I still eat meat, I still experience lust (even if I’m consciously acting on it less and less), I still am exposed to wifi and screen time. I still have bills to pay and have to drive my car to the store so I can feed my child and I. I still feel so much emotional pain from how backwards society is that I often feel debilitated in my daily efforts of raising him. All these things interfere with my clarity… so yes, effort is required on my part to help clear out the things that feed my doubt. But that takes time! And consciousness! And patience! And trust in the process and long-term vision.

    It’s only very seldom that I experience the bliss of merging with the dream of the Divine, because I am still encumbered by what’s laughably called “real life.” I hold tight to the objective, but that doesn’t always take away from the present moment’s discomfort, or even downright pain. I believe confidence unfolds, however, when we behold the truth of the energy of Love. It grows more and more, the more we align with natural law. We are already on the way and we are already loved HERE and NOW, no matter how battered and bruised we are. I think that Love can hold us all the way there, no matter how much time it takes to arrive.

    April 6, 2025 at 8:12 pm in reply to: Here is who I am today.

    Wow, Arthur. I resonate with this deeply. I, too, tend to be a perfectionist and tend to battle between who I want to be and think I should be, versus who I am in current limitations. Oof. There’s so much power in being authentically and unabashedly you. Now matter how “misaligned” that may be.

    In this technocratic world, when we are born, I believe a fracture within the self occurs. You have needs that were originally met thoroughly by the world that God created… But in the world that exists today, if you ask for your needs, not only do you not get them met, but you get punished for asking. So you have your true self and your adaptive self that will do anything it has to do to survive. This adaptive self survives through coping mechanisms… whether it’s through narcissism, addictions, or seemingly unsolvable behavioral patterns. But they are perfectly natural responses to a totally unnatural environment and circumstance. It is inescapable and it exists within every single person. But so does the God particle. My prayer lately has been to see beyond the beast and into the Man… in us ALL. Anastasia could simply ignore the false self that is driven by instinct, and speak directly to a person’s soul. But I’m not Anastasia. She even professes that she was born in God’s cradle. I still have my own shadow and detrimental patterns and I get triggered as fuck at the drop of a hat because I am absolutely loaded with trauma. We all are.

    It’s a dichotomy. A balancing act. Holding a bright vision of the future, while also being present and immersing oneself unconditionally and utterly in the present moment, which is far less than perfect.

    I really appreciate your vulnerability and honesty here. I didn’t know I needed to read this, but I did. Thank you. You aren’t alone. Remember, you are a micro of the macro. I think we are all experiencing this on some level, in a big way. Don’t beat yourself up too much because you’re literally carrying around billions of years of your ancestors’ trauma. But also their love and their power! The fact that you’re here despite ALL THE ODDS… is NOTHING SHORT of a miracle. People are waking up. It’s all a part of the process. We are already on the way. It’s just going to take time. Don’t lose heart!

    I was wondering the same!

    I just happen to live in a region where nettles absolutely thrive, and so I was planning on creating a patch specifically for them (far away from my actual garden so they don’t choke everything out).

    I was also wondering where to find seeds to plant the celandine she refers to for aiding the cleansing of thoughts…

    Alyssa, you aren’t alone!

    I remember reading the bit about the cherry tree… how it was the runt, so to speak, but since Vladimir saw something in it, it strove even harder to produce those three little cherries to love him back…. It made me cry. 😅🥲

    YES. Later in the series, Anastasia explains how there is two types of knowledge… I forget the proper terminology. First, there is the knowledge of the mind… “The Earth is flat, the Earth is round…” This information can be tampered with… But there is another kind of knowing. Knowing that exists in the body, the soul, and we call it intuition. Everything that Anastasia says is like a breath of relief for me. Like someone else out in existence finally spoke what I never knew how to say. I personally believe she is real… But even if she isn’t, this book has brought immense relief to me knowing that I’m not all alone in the world.

    I’m thrilled for you to continue the series! It only gets better! Prepare to be blown wide open!

    I am continuing to eat meat for now, until I have my garden up and running, hopefully by the springtime. It is a big source of nutrition, until I can plant the seeds in the ways the books specify to heal my individual body. Most if not all of the publicly produced food is poisoned or dead… so, you literally have to pick your poison until you are in a position of self sustainment. I try to buy more from the farmers markets, simply bc it is grown by people I actually know, still not perfect but much better than any corporation can offer. We are all doing what we have to do to survive right now. As worded in the books, abuse in numerous forms has become normalized. Circumstances are still far from ideal. We have a long way to go before everyone is on the same page and we can put things right. I’m so thankful for Anastasia and the communities her teachings have created, so that we may begin leading by example.

    Hi Gabriel! I dislike being a pain, but I have clicked the “Read Me” file that has the link to the printing service, but on both devices I have attempted to open the file with (both phone and computer) were unable to retrieve anything. Nothing loaded. Do you mind sharing the link directly? Trying to print Ansta. <3 Many thanks!
