Profound intelligence on “smart parenting” – from the remarkable “forest recluse” Anastasia…
It all starts at birth…Anastasia states that the natural learning process is being halted at birth by well-meaning parents who unwittingly perpetrate the ways of our technocratic world. She reveals how a child can develop all its latent mental and psychic powers and how even adults can regain what they have lost! A manufactured “reality”…“The world of technocracy, however, does not allow parents to do the right thing. What does an infant see with his first conscious glance around? He sees the ceiling, the edge of his crib, some patches of fabric, the walls — all attributes and values of the artificial world created by a technocratic society. And in this world he finds his mother and her breasts. Senseless rattling and squeaking…“‘This must be the way things are!’ he concludes. His smiling parents offer him toys and other objects that rattle and squeak, as though they were priceless treasures. Why? He will spend a long time trying to make sense of this rattling and squeaking. He will try to comprehend them both through his conscious mind and his sub-conscious. Protected…or cut-off?And then these same smiling parents will try wrapping him up in some kind of fabric, which he finds most uncomfortable. He will make attempts to free himself, but in vain! And the only means of protest he has at his disposal is a cry! A cry of protest, an appeal for help, a cry of rebellion. And, from that moment on, this angel and sovereign becomes an indigent slave, begging for handouts. “One after another, the child is presented with the accoutrements of an artificial world. Some new toy or item of clothing is offered to him as the latest summum bonum1. And the thought is thereby drummed into him that these are the most important objects in the world where he has arrived. Born perfect…In his infancy, despite his status as the most perfect being in the Universe, he is already pandered to and treated as an imperfect creature, and even in those institutions you consider educational, he is constantly reminded of the values of this artificial world. Not until the age of nine does he hear a passing mention of the existence of the world of nature, and then only as an adjunct to that other, more important world of manufactured objects. And most people are never afforded the opportunity to become aware of the truth, even to the end of their days. And so the seemingly simple question ‘What is the meaning of life? ’ goes unanswered… Natural Law underpins it all…“A nine-year-old child brought up in the natural world has a far more accurate perception of creation than all the scientific institutions of your world or, indeed, many of your prominent scholars…” “… For someone who has learnt at the right time what constitutes creation (mathematics, physics, chemistry) …are mere trifles. If he wants, or considers it necessary to prove himself in some scientific field, he will easily surpass all others.” “Man in the world of technocracy has never yet invented anything that is not already present in nature. Even the most perfect manufactured devices are but a poor imitation of what exists in nature.” Let them play with bugs – NOT blocks!According to Anastasia a bug is a more perfect mechanism than any manufactured product. A child provided with the opportunity to communicate with these perfect beings, will himself become more perfect than through communication with primitive lifeless objects… Every blade of grass, every bug is interrelated with the whole of creation and subsequently aids the child in becoming aware of the essence of the Universe and of himself as part of it to become aware of his innate purpose. Artificially created objects have no such connection and do not arrange priorities and values in the child’s brain in the right way. Our natural inherent abilities…“Nature and the Mind of the Universe have seen to it that every new Man2 is born a sovereign, a king! He is like an angel — pure and undefiled. Through the still soft upper part of his head he takes in a huge flood of information from the Universe. The abilities inherent in each newborn child are such as to allow him to become the wisest being in the Universe, God-like. It takes him very little time to bestow grace and happiness upon his parents. During this period — amounting to no more than nine earth-years — he becomes aware of what constitutes creation and the meaning of human existence. And everything that he needs to accomplish this already exists. Only the parents should not distort the genuine, natural order of creation by cutting the child off from the most perfect works in the Universe. |
A practical learning example…“So, these parents arrive with this three-year-old child at their dacha3 plot and bring along his favourite toys. Artificial toys which displace the true priorities of the Universe. Oh, if only they would not do that! Just think, the child could be occupied and inspired with something far more interesting than senseless and even harmful interaction with manufactured objects. Ask the child for help…“First of all, you should ask him to help you, only ask him in all seriousness, without any pandering, especially since he will actually be able to offer you assistance. If you do any planting, for example, ask him to hold the seeds in preparation for sowing, or rake out the seedbeds, or have him put a seed into the hole you have prepared. And in the process talk to him about what you are doing, something like this: “‘We will be putting the little seed into the ground and covering it with earth. When the Sun in the sky shines and warms the earth, the little seed will get warm and start to grow. It will want to see the Sun, and a little shoot will poke its head out of the earth, just like this one.’ At this point you can show him some little blade of grass. ‘If the shoot likes the sunshine, it will grow bigger and bigger and maybe turn into a tree, or something smaller, like a flower. And I want it to bring us tasty fruit, and you will eat it if you like it. The little shoot will prepare its fruit for you.’ Lessons in living and dying…“Whenever you arrive with your child at the garden-plot, or when he awakes in the morning, have him look first and see whether any new shoots have come up. If you should notice one, show your delight. When you are putting young plants rather than seeds into the ground, it is just as important to explain to your child what you are doing. If you are planting tomato seedlings, for example, let him hand you the stalks one by one. If he should inadvertently break a stalk, take the broken stalk into your hands and say: ‘I do not think this one will live or bear fruit, since it is broken, but let us try planting it anyway.’ And plant at least one of the broken ones right along with the others. “A few days later, when you visit the garden bed again with your child and the stalks have firmed up, point out the broken, withering stalk to your little one and remind him that it was broken during the planting, but do not use any preaching tone of voice in doing so. You need to talk with him as an equal. You should bear in mind the thought that he is superior to you in some respects — in the purity of his thought, for example. He is an angel! If you succeed in understanding that, you can then proceed intuitively, and your child will indeed become a person who will happify your days. Don’t “fill in the spaces”…“Whenever you sleep under the stars, take your child with you, lay him down beside you, let him look at the stars, but under no circumstances tell him the names of the planets or how you perceive their origin and function, since this is something you do not really know yourself, and the dogmas stored in your brain will only lead the child astray from the truth. His sub-conscious knows the truth, and it will penetrate his consciousness all by itself. All you might do is to tell him that you like looking at the shining stars, and ask your child which star he likes best of all. Allow his brain cells to awaken…“In general, it is very important to know how to ask your child questions. The next year you should offer your child his own seedbed, fix it up and give him the freedom to do whatever he likes with it. Do not ever compel him by force to do anything with it, and do not ever correct what he has done. The only thing you can do is ask him what he likes. You can offer help, but only after asking his permission to work along with him. When you are planting cereal grains, have him throw some grains on the seedbed for you” “It is not just a matter of having a knowledge and feeling about what grows and how. The main thing is that the child is starting to think, analyse, and cells are awakening in his brain which will operate throughout his life. They will make him brighter and more talented compared to those whose corresponding cells are still dormant. Genius will develop naturally…“As far as ‘civilised’ life goes — what you call progress — he may well turn out to be superior in any field of endeavour — all the more so since the purity of his thought will make him an exceptionally happy person. The contact he has established with his plants will allow him to constantly take in — and exchange — more and more information. The incoming messages will be received by his sub-conscious and transmitted to his consciousness in the form of many new thoughts and discoveries. Outwardly he will look like everyone else, but inwardly… This is the kind of Man you call a genius…” |

Raising ChildrenChildren sense the artificiality of a false union. This will make them skeptical about everything their parents tell them. Children can subconsciously sense the lie even during their conception. What individual would want to come into the world as a result of carnal pleasures alone? We would all like to be created by a great impulse of love and intention. People who have come into this world into a ‘false union’ will look for true satisfaction in secret, apart from each other. They will have lover after lover, relationship after relationship, realizing intuitively that they are drifting farther and farther away from the happiness of a true union. (pp 64) When we are born we take in a huge flood of information from the universe through the still soft upper part of our heads. All children born are already the wisest creatures on Earth. They are God-like. The technocratic world makes it very difficult for parents to do the right thing. When a baby is born and first looks around, what does he see? He sees an artificial environment in his crib, with its bars, walls and pieces of fabric. These are all attributes of the artificial world that has been created by a technocratic society. (pp 93) Then the parents offer him toys and things that rattle and squeak. Why? He will try and try to make sense of these things and their noise. He will try to understand them through his God-like mind but won’t. His parents will then wrap him up in restrictive blankets and diapers of which he tries to fee himself. The only thing he can do at this moment is to cry and cry. He cries for help from parents who don’t know how to help him. From that moment on this angel and king becomes a slave to his parents. For the next few years this child is given object after object, toy after toy in hopes of making him happy. He is rewarded with these things. He comes to know these things as being the dominant objects in the world where he exists. Even though he is an angel and a king, in his infancy he is treated as imperfect and is pandered to by his parents and everyone around him. Even in schools and other respected institutions that are considered ‘educational’ he is always reminded and exposed to the makings of an artificial world. According to Anastasia, not until the age of nine does he hear a passing mention of the existence of the world of nature. Most people never become aware of the truth, even on their deathbeds. The meaning of life escapes them. “The meaning of life is found in truth, joy and love.” (pp 94) Anastasia gives an example of how a family could raise their child. She talks about parents who bring their three-year old to their dacha plot and bring along his favorite ‘artificial’ toys. “Oh, if only they had not done that”’ she says. The child could have been entertained by nature instead of some plastic manufactured object. Anastasia says to ask the child to help you do something. Ask him in all seriousness, without any pandering, because the child will be able to offer you assistance. When working in the garden ask the child to help by holding the seeds in preparation for planting. Or have him help rake out the seedbeds or put a seed into the hole you have already dug. Talk to him about what you are doing. Really explain things to him. Explain things so he can understand. Tell him that you are putting the little seed into the ground and covering it with earth. Then the sun will shine and when it is warm enough the seed with start growing. You will see the seed poke its head out of the ground where it hopes to catch a glimpse of the sun and feel the suns energy. Then the seed will grow bigger and bigger until it becomes a flower, tree, vegetable or fruit that we can eat. The seed will prepare everything for you.

 Whenever you visit the garden plot and when he awakes in the morning, have him take a look at the garden to see if any new seeds have sprouted. If he notices a new sprout coming up then show your delight. If you are putting young plants into the ground and not seeds it is important to show and explain to your child the difference. If he breaks a plant or branch when planting then take the broken plant in your hands and tell him that you don’t think that the plant will grow because it is broken, but that you will plant it anyways next to the healthy one and see if it grows or not.When you visit the garden a few days later point out the broken plant and how it is (probably) not growing. Remind him that it was broken during the planting and this is the reason why it is not growing. Do not use any kind of preachy or derogative tone towards your child. Talk to him as an equal. Remember that he is superior to you in some respects – in purity of thought for example.Whenever you sleep under the stars you can bring your child with you. Let him lie down and sleep next to you. Look at the stars together. Under no circumstances tell him the names of the planets or what you think their functions are. Let him decide for himself. Just ask him what stars he likes the best and let his subconscious mind take over.You need to know the best way to ask your child questions. For example you should give your child his own garden plot in the second year of his learning about plants and gardening. Let him do whatever he wants with it and plant whatever he wants. Do not force him to do or plant anything. Simply ask him what he likes. You can offer help but only after asking his permission to help him. When you are planting your cereal crops in the garden let him throw a few seeds on it.Once the child starts to think for himself and analyze, his cells will awaken up in his brain and will make him smarter and more talented than those children whose corresponding cells are still dormant.
His purity of thought will make him an exceptionally happy person. The contact he makes with the planets and all living things will allow him to take in – and exchange – more and more information. The messages coming into his sub-conscious will be transmitted to his consciousness in the form of thoughts and discoveries. His appearance may be that of others, but this is the kind of Man that will be a genius. (pp 95-98) In Anastasia’s culture older generations treat an infant or young child like a deity or God. They use the child’s responses to their interaction with him as a check on their own purity. (pp 99) What do plants growing in a garden have to do with raising children? According to Anastasia, as a child is getting to know the plant world and is starting to understand how they are a part of the universe, the child is also having contact with his planets. With the help of his planets and his parents he can quickly know the truth. He will develop skills in the fields of psychology, philosophy and the natural sciences. Once artificial manmade objects are introduced and used as examples of something, the child will become lost. Nature and the Universe cannot help him if this happens. (pp 107) Anastasia tells Vladimir that he can’t be there when his son’s eyes first take in a conscious awareness of the world. She says that his son doesn’t need any kind of senseless toy or plastic object and that he will take in and make sense of kinds of information that will make “your” kind of education seem ludicrous. She tells him the only way that they can be brought together is through purity of thought. (pp 139-140) taken from www.anastasiasgarden.com |
