You and Me !
Dear Friends!
Today we begin a new interactive
live section of SOL magazine. It is a live diary where we are going to
tell you sequentially, step by step, about the co-creation of a real,
live Space of Love. We, the authors of the Diary, are a newly born
family, your publisher Yuri and Irina, together are in the process of
co-creating a beautiful Space of Love according to the principles
described by Anastasia. In this section we are going to share our plans
and efforts to sincerely and honestly tell you not only about our
successes and achievements but also about our mistakes and failures. We
hope that sharing our story may help those who decide to join us and
co-create a beautiful space filled with joy, love, light, health and
welfare for themselves, for their children and grandchildren for
centuries - for many generations of Kin.
We believe that a Space of Love
co-creation is like childbirth. Two people, a man and a woman, meet.
Each of them has their very own inner imagery, and so, two minds meet,
with two dreams and two visions. And if they match in general, a deep
mutual attraction arises based on mutual feelings, inspiration and the
strong desire for a joint creation. Then, the two sets of visions merge
into one joint vision and complementary thoughts of each begin to
further strengthen this joint image-making activity. Thereafter comes a
period of further comprehension, assimilation and development, joint
planning, refinement and the adjustment of the now combined
dream-imagery. And at last, when the dream has matured, it comes to
birth in the world and the dream’s realization and embodiment begins.
We
believe that nothing in our material world comes into existence
accidently, or by chance. Everything is preceded by a sincere, pure and
strong dream-desire - or just by the, oftentimes unwanted, unconscious
effects of manifestation. Our conscious dream initiates a chain of
events in the material world, tying together dream and reality, and will
in time result in the dream's realization. We usually don’t know exactly
what kind of events are going to happen, and therefore we should keep
our eyes and ears open wide and pay careful attention in order to notice
those events and react appropriately and in time. The more sincere and
pure our dream-desire is, the faster its material realization will
proceed. All we need to do is to observe everything that comes our way,
take those pieces and build a beautiful picture-puzzle, which may not be
quite clear at first glance but aspects of one whole, embodied vision
can frequently be observed early on and it becomes more clear and
beautiful with every day.
The Beginning.
We are happy that we can
start from the very beginning, from our joint dream, from the meeting
which took place on New Year's Eve 2008-09, although the process of
co-visioning did begin a few months before we met in person, namely soon
after we had met on the "world-wide web". As a result of such
co-creation, an image of our Kin’s Domain was born and we are happy to
bring it forward so as to share it with you
 (see
full image below).
Of course, the Space of
Love imagery is not only limited to the Kin’s Domain sketch. It includes
much more, for instance ideas about life-style, about our own
relationship and also relations with respect to our children, to
neighbors and to the outer world. This imagery includes living creatures
(dogs, cats, horses, chickens, etc.) we would like to have with us, it
considers the work each of us would love be engaged with, and of course,
ways of providing our family with food and vital products for a
sustainable life.
Therefore, even before we met in person, we spent many
hours together online discussing all those questions and consequently
created an integrated image/vision of our joint Space of Love. Now we
will be unveiling our imagery before our readers, issue by issue, as it
is being realized.
Of course, there are still many practical questions
that are not clear to us yet and will need our attention. One of those
unclear questions is how to organize education for our children in a
Kin’s Domain. For instance, children who have absorbed the best of a
natural life style, in touch with living Nature, also do need to gain
knowledge and skills to successfully express themselves in more formal
social circumstances, so they will be able to blend into a city
environment and not appear out of place.
So, after meeting on the eve of
the brand-new year of 2009, and assured of the genuineness of our mutual
feelings, we already had a newly created vision of our Space of Love and
a sketch of our Kin’s Domain (see outside back cover). Our next step was
to find a place, a piece of land for the realization of our dream. It
appeared that Irina and I have had the same criteria in mind regarding
our future hectare of land. We both believe that the first consideration
must be people, the neighbors you are going to live with in proximity,
and only after that comes the location of the land. According to
statistical data from the largest Anastasia-related website,
www.anastasia.ru, there are more than 140 eco-villages of Kin’s Domains
in Russia up to date. Irina and I decided to learn more about those
located not too far from Moscow and the surrounding region. And once
more, but this time together, we went on the “world-wide web” and
browsed, looking at descriptions, pictures, regulations and projects of
various eco-villages in our chosen area. Of all of those, we chose one
which we both liked the most – the eco-village Lyuboistock located in
the Smolensk region.
From the very first moment we liked the fact that
the territory of the eco-village covers five small, old, former
villages, deserted and abandoned for a long time, which is quite typical
for remote rural areas in Russia. This usually means that there are many
old fruit trees and orchards on the territory of the eco-village to
harvest fruits for the families. Neither of us wanted to start with an
empty field. What appealed to us next was the fact that Lyuboistock is
located far enough away from any factories or industrial plants that may
pollute the environment (60 km away from Smolensk town). In addition,
there is an old dense forest which reaches right up against the
eco-village and a river runs nearby. And finally, we both have been
impressed by the project of the eco-village Lyuboistock itself, as
suggested by the organizers. We also noticed that unlike many others,
the project does not insist on a long list of requirements for its
dwellers and new-comers – only the most reasonable and sensible
expectations. The primary principle of administration is that of
equality and respect for any person, any inhabitant, regardless of the
time they arrived there.
After having a telephone conversation with the Lyuboistock organizers we felt a kinship of like-minded people who value
their freedom and are able to value freedom and the individuality of
others. We were inspired to meet them in person and of course, see the
eco-village, to walk around the place and to feel and listen to the
space with our souls.
In conversation we discovered that the organizers
Victor and Lyuba were planning to come to Moscow soon, where they would
introduce and share the vision for their eco-village Lyuboistock with
Anastasia readers clubs. At the end of March, right before completion of
our next issue, Irina and I visited one of the Anastasia clubs and met
Victor and Lyuba in person. As Bards and creative people, they both
presented their Eco-village vision in a Bard’s manner - they sang songs
that created wonderful images in the listeners' hearts. Have you ever
met a new person you had never seen before but who made you feel like
you have known each other for ages? Our meeting with Victor and Lyuba
was just like that. We could not part with them and spent a few hours
talking and laughing together, sharing our plans and ideas. Then we took
them off to the train. It was not easy to part, but we have hopes for a
meeting in early May, this time in the Smolensk region in our future
ecovillage. If everything we will see and feel on the land and in the
village will match our inner feelings and our dream, we shall make a
final decision about obtaining/buying the land for our Kin’s Domain.
We
so sincerely want to share with you, our dear readers, those feelings
and the Spirit of Creation that resides in us. We sincerely wish for
this Spirit to touch everyones heart, so that having looked around one
would also wish to consciously touch the Earth and master a living
picture of your own happy Eternity. And who knows, maybe sooner than you
thought, you too shall shar e with us your joy of creation and your
dreams and ideas in your letters. And maybe one day we shall greet you
all together in our Kin’s Domain, at the big round table, where we shall
treat you with aromatic herb tea and living food grown in our garden,
which is healthy and healing for your body and soul. All together, we
shall talk and laugh a lot, we shall sing beautiful songs accompanied by
guitar, together with cheerful Sunny Bards, and we shall dance in
circles around a big campfire all night long until dawn breaks over the
horizon. And of course, you shall not leave us without our living gifts
that later shall grow up on your own land and shall bring you joy and
health with their fruits and shall remind you of our meeting.
For those
of you interested in the result of our next trip and meeting, and in
what happened next with regard to our new Space of Love co-creation,
look for our living story in the next issue of SOL magazine. We are
going to share all our news with you. We kindly invite you to write to
us via letters or emails - your questions and opinions are important to
us!
