Inspirational Discussions & Movies

http://roderick.gaia.com — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 19:39:33 GMT

These are two aspects of the eco resort villages that are key towards building community, enjoying each other, and fostering expanded awareness and skills needed for the Zevolution :~)

Sami Sunchild, a member of our pod, has created www.peacefulworldtravel.org. It's got links to some great destinations around the world and is headquartered in San Francisco at the Red Victorian. It's a charming place and if you visit SF please do stop by and visit her - she's inspiring and has a great Bed & Breakfast there with yummy treats, awesome posters, a good internet cafe, and friendly folks. Anyways, my point is that a cornerstone of the experience there is the peaceful world conversations ~ and these now occur in more than fifty spots around the world with lots of locations in the US, so be sure to check out and see if there's a spot near you. These conversations are an amazing way to connect people from various backgrounds.

Another good way to start conversations would be to show movies and have discussions afterwards. I'd like to build up a library of all time great movies, including a bunch of documentaries and informational type movies, at our island resort. These would be especially useful for the residents and guests for entertainment value.

I've posted a few links below for some inspiration on-line movies that you can download and watch directly from your computer - but these could also be shown onsite and be starting points for discussions.

From Simple Truths, here are 15 online 3-minute movies

From the Achieve E-zine here are another 15, some of them repeats.

What discussions do you host, if any?

Do you have a library at your resort or location? What kind of movies? When do you show movies?

For those of you who don't have a place yet, pretend you do :~)

Anastasia: Healing Gardens

http://samadhi2012.gaia.com — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 22:19:41 GMT

Friends, This is some amazing new information about to spread like a wave around the world. The Anastasia books have swept Russia and have just been translated into English. Read the excerpt below and if you are interested in ordering books you can do so directly from the publisher. The link is at www.ringingcedars.com Please use the keyword 'GARDEN' when ordering. You just need to put the word 'GARDEN' into the 'promotional code' area in the order page. Blessings to all of you, Chris Iverson samadhi2012@yahoo.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anastasia stated: “Every seed you plant contains within itself an enormous amount of information about the Universe. Nothing made by human hands can compare with this information either in size or accuracy. Through the help of these data the seed knows the exact time, down to the millisecond, when it is to come alive, grow – what juices it is to take from the Earth, how to make use of the rays of the celestial bodies – the Sun, Moon and stars, what it is to grow into, what fruit to bring forth. These fruits are designed to sustain Man’s life. More powerfully and effectively than any manufactured drugs of the present or future, these fruits are capable of counteracting and withstanding any disease of the human body. But to this end the seed must know about the human condition. So that during the maturation process it can satiate its fruit with the right correlation of substances to heal a specific individual of his disease, if indeed he has it or is prone to it. “In order for the seed of a cucumber, tomato or any other plant grown in one’s plot to have such information, the following steps are necessary: “Before planting, put into your mouth one or more little seeds, hold them in your mouth, under the tongue, for at least nine minutes. “Then place the seed between the palms of your hands and hold it there for about thirty seconds. During this time it is important that you be standing barefoot on the spot of earth where you will later be planting it. “Open your hands, and carefully raise the seed which you are holding to your mouth. Then blow on it lightly, warming it with your breath, and the wee little seed will know everything that is within you. “Then you need to hold it with your hands open another thirty seconds, presenting the seed to the celestial bodies. And the seed will determine the moment of its awakening. The planets will all help it! And will give the sprouts the light they need to produce fruit especially for you. “After that you may plant the seed in the ground. In no case should you water it right off, so as not to wash away the saliva which is now covering it, along with other information about you that the seed will take in. It can be watered three days after planting. “The planting must be done on days appropriate to each vegetable (people already know this, from the lunar calendar). In the absence of watering, a premature planting is not as harmful as an overdue planting. “It is not a good idea to pull up all the weeds growing in the vicinity of the sprouts. At least one of each kind should be left in place. The weeds can be cut back …” According to Anastasia, the seed is thus able to take in information about the person who plants it, and then during the cultivation of its fruit it will pick up from the Universe and the Earth the optimum blend of energies needed for a given Man. The weeds should not be disposed of completely, as they have their own appointed function. Some weeds serve to protect the plant from disease while others give supplemental information. During the cultivation time it is vital to communicate with the plant – at least once during its growth period. And it is desirable to approach it and touch it during a full moon. Anastasia maintains that the fruit cultivated from the seed in this manner, and consumed by the individual who cultivated it, is capable not only of curing him of any diseases of the flesh whatsoever but also of significantly retarding the aging process, rescuing him from harmful habits, tremendously increasing his mental abilities and giving him a sense of inner peace. The fruit will have the most effective influence when consumed no later than three days after harvesting. The above-mentioned steps should be taken with a variety of plant species in the garden-plot. It is not necessary to plant a whole row of cucumbers, tomatoes etc., in this manner; just a few plants each is enough. The fruit of plants grown like this will be distinguished from other plants of the same species not only in taste. If analysed, it will be seen that they are also distinct in terms of the substances they contain. When planting the seedlings, it is important to soften the dirt in the excavated hole with one’s fingers and bare toes, and spit into the hole. Responding to my question, “Why the feet?”, Anastasia explained that through perspiration from one’s feet come substances containing information about bodily diseases. This information is taken in by the seedlings. They transmit it to the fruit, which will thus be enabled to counteract diseases. Anastasia recommended walking around the plot barefoot from time to time... ©Ringing Cedars Press – EXTRACT from Anastasia - Book 1 of The Ringing Cedars Series by Vladimir Megre.
