EASE OF VIEWING NOTES [INCREASE FONT SIZE or ZOOM for Easy Reading]:

FONT SIZE for REVIEWS:
NOTE: For IE9 Browsers, DIGESTWORLD is best viewed at 100% Zoom using OPTIONS: Page, Text Size, Larger

The font size of new reviews has been increased to make reading easier. In IE7&8, you may wish to use 90% ZOOM if the text seems a bit large. (Older reviews will be upgraded as time permits.) In IE9, DIGESTWORLD Photos may overlap, if so, try the Larger TEXT SIZE, a new feature in IE9, which should have been standard in earlier versions.

If you have been enjoying the photos in DIGESTWORLD, but have wondered who or what you were looking at, in Internet Explorer simply let your cursor fall stationary over the photo and the photo's description will appear. If your Mozilla Firefox or Netscape 7 browser doesn't provide this handy automatic display, you will need to Right Click on the image and Select the Properties box to view the description. We spend a lot of time providing these descriptions and hope you will read them.

For Firefox browsers here is a simple procedure for viewing DIGESTWORLD which will let you view descriptions by simply placing cursor over the photo. Note: If you did not choose the Open Link in IE Tab option when you installed Firefox, you will need to install the add-in now.

Open the DIGESTWORLD Reminder email while in Firefox.
Right click the link to DIGESTWORLD.
From the drop down menu choose Open Link in IE Tab.

Firefox will open the newsletter in an IE tab and the photo captions will appear when you let your cursor rest on the photo. This allows you to have a feature of IE while using Firefox.

MAC users will be able to view captions if they use Firefox, but not if they use Safari. This is according a Good Reader who values the captions.

EASE OF READING TEXT:

We strive to make DIGESTWORLD issues viewable in all browsers and window sizes. Internet Explorer 9 has finally separated TEXT or FONT SIZE from the ZOOM function! With Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), the ZOOM function was fixed to keep text on screen as you ZOOM to larger sizes. That's good news as my ARJ1 Reviews were never upgraded to fix this problem and now that is not necessary. If you put things off long enough, you don't have to do them, my German professor told me. If some of the photos overlap in your browser try setting your text to a larger size. We use "Larger" setting in IE6 browser, and note that smaller sizes of text in some window sizes cause photos and text to overlap. In IE7/8, you can use CTRL+ to increase font size and CTRL- to decrease it using ZOOM function. If you use IE7's ZOOM function and have problems viewing a page, return temporarily to 100% and problem will disappear. Many of the alignment problems for ZOOM'ed pages have been fixed in IE8/9.

• Praise for a Good Mountain Press review posted by jmd on 16-11-2003, 20:59:
  Reviewing a series of lectures by Rudolf Steiner titled True and False Paths in Spiritual Investigation, it reminded me in so many ways of the dichotomy between what is at times referred to as faith and reason (as a friend also reminded me), and of how this materialism versus spiritualism also finds its reconcialiation as the two become appropriately internalised and equally valued. Reflecting on this, an internet search yielded this wonderful (http://www.doyletics.com/arj/trueandf.htm) opening paragraph:

  There are two false paths: the path of materialism and the path of spiritualism. In the former, the material world is considered to be the only reality and all else is illusion; in the latter the spiritual world is considered to be the only reality and all else is illusion. Each of these approaches to reality is like a chariot driver powering his chariot with only one horse. The materialist driver places one horse on the left and moves in counter-clockwise circles. The spiritualist driver places one horse on the right and moves in clockwise circles. Each one is like a dog chasing its own tail. They use up a lot of energy to stay in the same place and make no progress. Only if humanity harnesses two horses to its chariot will any progress be made straight away. The two horses are materialistic investigation and spiritual investigation — harnessed in the right way, these two will move forward the chariot of humankind into a future that is worth having.

Movies we watched this past month:

Notes about our movies: Many of the movies we watch are foreign movies with subtitles. After years of watching movies in foreign languages, Arabic, French, Swedish, German, British English, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, and many other languages, sometimes two or three languages in the same movie, the subtitles have disappeared for us. If the movie is dubbed in English we go for the subtitles instead because we enjoy the live action and sounds of the real voices so much more than the dubbed. If you wonder where we get all these foreign movies from, the answer is simple: NetFlix. For a fixed price a month they mail us DVD movies from our on-line Queue, we watch them, pop them into a pre-paid mailer, and the postman effectively replaces all our gas-consuming and time-consuming trips to Blockbuster. To sign up for NetFlix, simply go to http://www.netflix.com/ and start adding all your requests for movies into your personal queue. If you've seen some in these movie blurbs, simply copy the name, click open your queue, and paste the name in the Search box on NetFlix and Select Add. Buy some popcorn and you're ready to Go to the Movies, 21st Century Style. You get to see your movies as the Director created them — NOT-edited for TV, in full-screen width, your own choice of subtitles, and all of the original dialogue.
P. S. Look for HD/DVD format movies which are now available from NetFlix.

“Legend of 1900" (1998) 1900 is a piano player, not a date, in fact he never had a date in his life, born, raised, and never left a passenger ship where he played the piano. Tim Roth bleeds over the piano-keys as he plays in lighting-fast original compositions. After one of those he lights a cigarette by holding it to the strings and places it in Jelly Roll Martin’s mouth to accentuate 1900's win in the piano duel with Mr. Big Ego. Watch this amazing movie and learn how 1900 converts the feelings he gets from watching people into music in real-time. A DON’T MISS HIT ! ! ! ! !
“The Greatest Game Ever Played” (2005) refers to one game of golf in 1913 US Open which was won by an amateur and former caddy, Francis Ouimet, who beat the greatest golfers from Britain after all the other US Pros and amateurs had been eliminated. This is a riveting tale that is about human values versus societal values and the triumph of the human will against all comers. A DON’T MISS HIT ! ! ! ! !
“The Shooter” (2007) Mark Wahlberg stars in this story of a skilled sniper who is called back for a special duty, hunting for a sniper and ends up becoming the hunted, and then the hunter. Gripping story till the very end. A Jason Bourne story with an easier pace. A DON’T MISS HIT! ! HD/DVD FORMAT
“Copying Beethoven” (2006) in which Ed Harris plays the Beast, Ludwig himself. A young female copyist is sent to convert his scribblings into printable scores and the relationship between them becomes valuable to both of them. Time centers on the last days before the first performance of his 9th Symphony. The music is the hero of this amazing piece of choreography between the deaf conductor, his copyist, his publisher, and his public. If you hate classical music, watch this and be prepared to love it. A DON’T MISS HIT !!!!!! “After the Wedding” (2007) is when the drama begins. Jacob returns to his native Denmark to ask for a donation to save his failing orphanage in India. The donor invites him to his daughter’s wedding, only his daughter happens to be really Jacob’s daughter, one he did not know exist. A DON’T MISS HIT ! ! !
“The Bourne Ultimatum” (2007) Jason seeks to uncover his dark roots, but the CIA Director and Deputy Director has even darker roots to cover up and Jason is in the way. Car crashes, rooftop chases, battle in the bathroom, and the “You’re looking a bit tired, Pam” phone call. The usual unusual stuff to make for this Hit Man another Hit.
“Opal Dream” (2006) in rural Australia, men who dig in holes like rats looking for opals are called “rats” if they do it immorally on another’s claim. When Kellyanne, a 9-yr-old girl loses her two playmates, Pobby and Dingan, she has her dad Rex go out at night to look for them at his mine. During his search, he encroaches on his neighbor’s claim, who brings charges on him. How can Rex defend himself by claiming he was looking for his daughter’s imaginary playmates. Thereupon hangs an imaginary tale that will warm your heart. A DON’T MISS HIT!
“Fur — An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus” (2006) An extraordinary portrait of an extraordinary photographer.
“Lucie Aubrac” (na) During 1944 in Paris a woman’s husband is picked by Nazis and scheduled to be executed for being a terrorist. This is the story of how she managed during this time, always hoping to get him freed.
“Life According to Muriel” (1997) Muriel is a ten-year-old girl traveling with her mother in the mountains of Argentina when their car and all their possessions rolls down a cliff into a lake. They beg for lodging with a local family who also lacks a father. The song plays, “When is Daddy coming home?” in the background as these two women strive to survive.
“The Healer” (2002) A mother of twins takes her kids and moves to her father’s home when she catches her husband in bed with another woman. Boy of the twins gets sick with tumor. She and husband get back together. She finds a healer who heals boy. She goes to bed with the healer and the boy gets sick again and gets his parents back together again. An amazing look at a Russian healer who pressed his hands against trees.
“What Dreams May Come” (1998) Had been wanting to watch this one again and the HD/DVD format just out made it irresistible. The colors and scenes in this movie are so fantastic. Robin Williams lives after death in a dream world made of living paint colors. Max von Sydow as the Tracker leads Robin to find his beloved wife who committed suicide and is unreachable because of her deep despair. Anyone contemplating suicide should view this movie and it may disabuse them of any notion that it is a noble end to one’s life. A DON’T MISS HIT ! ! ! HD/DVD Format
“Bread and Tulips” (2000) Think “Shirley Valentine goes to Venice.” This gal misses her tour bus during a rest stop and hitchhikes, ending up in Venice instead of her home town. She misses her train the next day, gets a job, and begins to bloom — and that’s a one-way trip.
“Everybody Says I Love You” (2nd viewing, 1996) A smash hit for Woody Allen with each of the actors, Julia Roberts, Ed Norton, Goldie Hawn, Alan Alda, Tim Roth, and even Woody singing their own songs. Funny, poignant, uplifting, and insightful. A DON’T MISS HIT! See digest28 for 1st viewing.
“Sweet Land” (2005) An elegy to German immigrants to Minnesota in the years following the Great War in 1920.

“Dangerous Beauty” (1998) Veronica Franco, reluctant courtesan to the prominent men of Venice is accused of being a witch by the Inquisition — can telling the truth set her free? You will see a resemblance of Venice to New Orleans that you may have missed before. A DON’T MISS HIT !!!
“High School Musical” (2006) is a new generation “Grease” with new music, actors who seem to be school age kids, and the tension here is between the jocks and the brains who strive to find common ground on the musical stage. Great music, upbeat dance rhythms, and an uplifting story line.
“Shakespeare in Love” (1998) Undaunted by the theater owner who wanted a comedy with “love and a bit with a dog”, Will falls in love with a woman who subs at the last moment for Juliet. Look for enactment of idiomatic expressions of today: “holding his feet to the fire” and “cooling his heels”. A DON’T MISS HIT ! ! !
“Saving Grace” (2000) is what the locals in a small seacoast town in England go about doing for Grace whose philandering husband died and left her with a huge debt and a mortgaged mansion. She lets no grass grow under her feet, only in her greenhouse. And goes about restoring her life with the help of Craig Ferguson. Funny, touching, and uplifting, a natural high.

Misses (Avoid At All Costs): We attempted to watch these this month, but didn't make it all the way through on most of them. Awhile back when three AAAC horrors hit us in one night, I decided to add a sub-category to "Avoid at All Costs", namely, A DVD STOMPER. These are movies so bad, you don't want anyone else to get stuck watching them, so you want to stomp on the disks. That way, if everyone else who gets burnt by the movie does the same, soon no copies of the awful movie will be extant and the world will be better off.

“Eragon” (2006) this dragon fantasy barely reached my low expectations for it. Kid stuff, poorly written, and a waste of John Malkovich’s talents as the supremely bad guy.
“Red Dwarf” (1988) should bring back the time-honored Aussie sport of Dwarf-Tossing — into the rubbish bin! Not worthy of wasting time tromping on the DVD STOMPER! ! !
“A Real Young Girl” (2001) who cannot seem to keep her panties up, things out of her orifices and the camera out of her bathroom. This is a sad sexploitation movie and should be stomped on a dirty bathroom floor. DVD STOMPER! ! !

Your call on these — your taste in movies may differ, but I liked them:

“Open Your Eyes” (1997) was a real eye opener, Penelope Cruz, starred in this Spanish precursor to “Vanilla Sky”. Identical plots, but a better movie with only one “Cruz” in it. Don't recall any other movie in which one actor plays the identical part in two different languages.
“Apocalypto” (2006) With a name like a Harry Potter spell, Mel Gibson conjures up a vision of Mayan culture before the Spaniards arrived. A peaceful people except for the “Stone-builders” who kidnaped the men from villages for human sacrifice. Billy Bob Briggs would need a calculator to tot-up the number of “Heads Rolled”. Pre-civilization, bloody in tooth and claw. Makes what the Spanish did afterward look tame. Braveheart in Yucatan.
“All Night Long” (1981) with Gene Hackman and Babs Streisand as the philanderer and philanderee. Gene gets demoted from front office to night manager of a pharmacy outlet at the same time his son, Dennis Quaid, is schtuping Babs. Trying to stop his son gets Gene accused of infidelity before he’s actually done anything. A hilarious look at leftover mores from the 1970s.
“Playing by Heart” (1998) is full of Hollywood stars and Hollywood messages. Sean Connery and Gina Rowlands heads an all-star cast in this movie of trouble-plagued singles and couples who all come together in the end. “You are the tenant of my heart, often the rent is late, but I cannot bring myself to throw you out.” Gina says to Sean.
< strong>“Russian Dolls” (2006) seems more about French gals and the writer who is servicing them serially and in parallel at times. Until Wendy catches him at a weak point in his life, “30 and alone.” A fun romp through Paris and St. Pete with a close-up of modern Russian life.
“Lady Jane” (1986) a young Helena Bonham Carter plays Lady Jane Grey who ruled as Queen of England for nine days against her wishes and was summarily beheaded so Bloody Mary could marry her Spanish lover. A surprising love affair blooms in the mix of events.
“Bad Santa” (2003) with Billy Bob Thornton at his seedy baddest as a Santa who robs the store who put up with his drunk, dirty-mouth foulness as Santa for two weeks. This is his annual gig, each year a new store, same elf, same attitude, same safe getaway. But this year an 8-yr-old fat boy gets under his unshaven skin and there’s a new ending. A movie about kids, but not for kids. Send them to “Happy Feet” or some other cartoon drivel while you laugh your way through this amazingly bad but good movie.
“To the Lighthouse” (1983) was where the characters (including a young Ken Branagh) of this Virginia Woolf potboiler were always heading, but never quite got there. What they did get (and give us) was a close look at each other during the summers in the cottage on the beach.
“Reservoir Dogs” (1992) Tarantino debuts his repertory company of Keitel, Buscemi, Roth, Madsen, Penn, himself, etal, in a tarantella of blood and bullets. Tim Roth bleeds over the warehouse floor in this one.
“Fargo” (1996) I’d seen bits and pieces of this one over the years and it was time for a full viewing. Buscemi in another blood bath killing spree ala “Reservoir Dogs”, this time in the snow-covered killing fields of Minnesota. If you’ve missed it, it’s worth a watch.

And for my Good Readers, here’s the new reviews and articles for this month. The ARJ2 ones are new additions to the top of A Reader’s Journal, Volume 2, Chronological List, and the ART ones to A Reader’s Treasury.

1.) ARJ2: Anastasia — Book 1 of The Ringing Cedars Series by Vladmir Megré

When you read a truly innovative work, you find that it is difficult to fit it into some pre-canned category. A new work creates its own category. For example, was Isaac Newton's Principia Mathematica a work of mathematics or philosophy? Neither or both. It laid the basis for an entire new way of approaching our understanding of the physical world and laid the basis for our current technological progress of over 400 years. There was no category for his landmark work because it shaped new categories of thought that had not existed at the time of its publication. Anastasia is such a work. We have no way of categorizing it that will make sense for many years. John Woodsworth, the translator, discovered this right away.

[page vii] Some of my friends and colleagues have asked: "What kind of book are you translating?" -- no doubt wondering whether they could look forward to reading a novel, a documentary account, an inspirational exegesis on the meaning of life, or even a volume of poetry.
       But even after completing the translation of Anastasia, I still do not have a definitive answer to give them. In fact, I am still asking myself the same question. My initial response was a rather crude summary of a gut level impression -- I would tell them: "Think of Star Trek meets the Bible."

It is all of those things mentioned above, and even more. What it is not is revealing. It is not a book channeled through an individual like A Course in Miracles or a Seth Book. It is not a fictional account of a spiritual adventure as The Celestine Prophecy. It is not a fairy tale. It is not an epic by some apocryphal author. It is not a scholarly text.

This book is simply written by a Russian entrepreneur, Vladmir Megré, as a chronicle of the time he spent with a young Russian woman, Anastasia, in a section of the Siberian taiga, a large forested area which stretches across Russia. This woman lived alone in a taiga glade, with no house, no cooking implements, used no fire, wore light clothes, and knew from personal experiences of solutions to the major problems of the world, and had already begun implementing some of them. This book is part of her plans for further implementation of her solutions to problems of disease, cruelty, and other ills that afflict humankind today. What is the ringing cedar? When the author first hears of it, an old man described it as an 500-year-old cedar about 130 feet high which was begging to be cut down. It had begun ringing and if no one cut it down in 3 years, it would burn itself up and be lost to humankind. It had been absorbing health-giving beams from the stars which it wanted to pass onto human beings.

The explanation the old man gave for the healing power was that "God created the cedar to store cosmic energy." (Page 6) Only bright rays of light can travel into the cosmic reaches, he said, and they return to be collected by the old cedars for later release to human beings. The dark rays never make it off the surface of the Earth.

Who can deny that humans seem to have as many malicious feelings as there are eruptions, earthquakes, wars, and the like? As to whether the two are intimately related, one should withhold judgment until one has read further of what the old man's grand-daughter was to reveal in the course of this series of books, which stands at nine volumes, up until now. Vladimir met her on his next trip to the taiga region and she introduced herself as Anastasia, and suggested he accompany her to the heart of the taiga about 16 miles inland. They were to walk together the entire distance. At one point Vladimir asked her how she could walk alone so far with no fear. She didn't answer him, but when he attempted to draw her close to him, he suddenly lost consciousness, and awoke to find her bending over him on the ground. All he remembered was an intense fear before he passed out. He got his answer in process, in a demonstration of how she protected herself non-violently.

When they arrived at where Anastasia lived, she astounded him with her announcement. Vladimir was incredulous when he looked around at what she called home.

[page 29] "Here we are at home!"
       I looked around. A neat little glade, dotted with flowers amidst a host of majestic cedars, but not a single structure to be seen. Not even a hut. In a word, nothing! Not even a primitive lean-to! But Anastasia was beside herself with joy. As though we had arrived at a most comfortable dwelling.

How she lives makes Thoreau's tiny room at Walden Pond seem like a yuppie pad in comparison. She drinks the pure, living water from a small taiga lake, and squirrels bring her nuts to eat in their jaws when she is hungry.

Her way of life is remarkable enough, but what she reveals about the "Seed as physician" in Chapter Eleven should make everyone come alert. In the USA where so much of our food is grown in areas completely disconnected from our homes, we rarely eat food whose seeds we have planted, up until now. The dachniks in Russia are leading the world in this area by growing so much of the food that they consume. I saw an estimate somewhere that over fifty percent of all vegetables consumed in Russia comes from dachnik gardens.

Can one buy a sense of inner peace from the supermarket? Or produce which will cure diseases, stave off aging process, correct unhealthful habits, or increase one's mental abilities? And yet from reports of dachniks in Russia, they are finding all these things coming from the weekend garden work and food they eat back in the city which they grew in their dachas' gardens. Anastasia puts the matter plainly -- the plants will become your physician and pharmacist:

Imagine if you were alive in the 1930s when "Gone With The Wind" and "The Wizard of Oz" were first written and you never bothered to read them. That is the way it is for all of our children today, they only know of these great classics because of watching the films made from them in 1939. Someday a film will be made of Anastasia's life and it will undoubtedly be as great a classic as these two movies. Will you wait for the movie to learn about Anastasia and her tremendous spirituality and suggestions for improving your life? Or will you be one of those who will be doubly graced by having immediately read the books her life inspired? The choice is yours. Click below on the review to get started in freedom and light.

2.) ARJ2: The Ringing Cedars of Russia Book 2 of The Ringing Cedars Series by Vladmir Megré

This book contains what happened to Vladmir Megré after the events he portrayed in Book 1. He recalls two things that Anastasia predicted:

[page 8] When I was in the taiga, Anastasia told me: "I shall make you a writer. You will write a book, and many people will read it. It will have a beneficial influence on the readers."
      You may remember me writing in Book 1 what she said two years earlier: "Artists will paint pictures, poets will write verse and they will make a movie about me. You will see all this and think of me...."

All of these things and many more have become reality by the time Vladimir was writing down these thoughts. He visited an exhibition of paintings by Alexandra Saenko dedicated to Anastasia and Nature and he was amazed.

[page 9] From the many pictures Anastasia looked out at me with her kindly eyes. And the scenes! I couldn't get over it — some of the pictures showed scenes from this second book, which hadn't been published yet. And there was this glowing sphere, sometimes appearing right next to Anastasia. Later I learnt that the artist painted not with a brush but with her fingertips. Most of the pictures had already been sold, but left hanging for the duration of the exhibit, since more and more people were coming to see them. The artist presented one of them to me as a gift, depicting Anastasia's mother and father. I couldn't take my eyes off her mother's face.
      Offers started coming in from various film studios about making an Anastasia movie. And this was now something I was already accepting as a matter of course.

Plus he reported that there was already a Moscow Research center investigating Anastasia phenomena. Its conclusions reported on page 9 are included in my review of Book 1. The evidence that Anastasia is real and affecting lives all over the world is mounting up and even the author who experienced her directly is taken aback by how quickly this began to happen, and happen even before the book itself became available. If one compares Anastasia to Don Juan Mateus in Carlos Castaneda's books, one main difference is apparent. We heard of Don Juan only in the books and never knew if he were a real person or not.

At one point Vladimir asked Anastasia, "Why did you rid me of my diseases?" She explained that unless he changed his life style, they will come back. Vladimir was still upset that she had rebuffed his business plan for her, so she explained how people might cure themselves of their diseases without the undesirable side-effects which accompanies others healing them.

[page 25] "There are several main causes underlying the diseases of the human flesh, namely: harmful feelings, emotions, an artificial dietary regime — an unnatural meal schedule and food composition, the lack of short-term and long-term goals, and a misapprehension of one's essence and purpose in life. Positive emotions, a variety of plants and a reappraisal of one's essence and purpose in life — all these are capable not only of counteracting diseases but also of significantly enhancing one's physical and mental or emotional state.
      "As far as bringing back — under the conditions of your world Man's lost connection with plants, I have already told you about that. After Man has established a direct personal contact with these plants, it is much easier to make sense of everything else.
      "The Ray of Love, too, is capable of curing many diseases of one's fellow-Man and even prolonging his life by creating around him a Space of Love.
      "But Man himself, once he has managed to arouse positive emotions in himself, can use them to extinguish pain and cure the diseases of the flesh -- even the effects of poison."

Vladimir wanted to know how "one can think good thoughts if one has a toothache or a stomachache." Anastasia mentions Guardian Angels as a solution, recalling what she said in Book 1 that people who fill their minds constantly with things and thoughts are beyond the help of even their own Guardian Angels. Vladimir asks her, "How does one get enough pure and clear moments to arouse positive healing emotions?" (Page 26) Her answer is clear and practical: treat others with genuine Love and in return, you'll receive exactly that.

"Material things won't bring you love." That's something we've all heard over the years. Anastasia tells that to Vladimir in this way:

[page 29] "Genuine Love, Vladimir, could not possibly be under the control of artificially created objects. Even if you owned all the objects in the world, you would not be able, just with their help, to gain access to the true Love of even one woman."

He told her that his ship had done exactly that, it brought him the love of a woman. So she asked for details about what happened after he lured her aboard his large, luxurious ship. But why did Vladimir get drunk and end up sleeping alone in the cramped crew's quarters below deck? The truth was too painful for him to recall, so Anastasia told him what had happened. This is a story played out over and over again in soap operas and movies. It is a ploy still used today because men will go for the short term gain and remain mostly ignorant of the long-term consequences of using material goods (cars, boats, etc) to attract women to themselves, up until now.

[page 30] "The moment came when you noticed a strange expression on the face of that beloved young woman of yours — a preoccupied smile. Intuitively, even subconsciously, you realized that she, your beloved, was thinking how happy she would be if only it were her own beloved that was sitting across from her in this bar, instead of Megré. Your precious girl was dreaming of someone else, someone she really liked. She fantasized that it was he, and not you, who was master of the ship. You were at the mercy of inert matter, to which you had tied your living feelings and aspirations, and were choking them to death."

Later Anastasia explains how the unrequited love of Vladimir's crippled cherry tree reached her and brought her to Vladmir's ship and to him. The cherry tree he had tenderly planted, whose branches he kissed, and whose cherry he ate, reached out to return his love and found Anastasia. Here was Vladimir's bootstrap into discovering Anastasia, he performed an act of love to a living cherry tree, something Anastasia herself does in her daily life and it resonated with her and led her to find him on his ship.

[page 35] "You mean to say," I queried, "that your relationship to me arose out of your desire to help the tree?"
      "My relationship to you, Vladimir, is simply that: my relationship. It is difficult to say who was helping whom here — the cherry tree me or I the tree. Everything in the Universe is interrelated. To perceive what is really going on in the Universe one need only look into one's self. But now, by your leave, I am giving an embodiment to this, to what the cherry tree desired. May I give you a kiss from the tree?"

She kissed him. It was a tangible expression of the cherry tree's love for him returned by the Universe in the form of Anastasia. The full story of the cherry tree is itself worth the price of this book.

Vladimir relates a long conversation he had with Anastasia's grandfather who visited him in Moscow. They covered many subjects in Chapter 26 and succeeding chapters, including the idea of a "Space of Love" which will be the title of the next book in the Ringing Cedars Series. Grandfather gave more details on the glade in which Anastasia lives and reading it made me think of the Space of Love into which my parents brought and raised me. Grandfather explained to Vladimir why he and his father walked away and left Anastasia alone as an infant in the glade after burying her parents.

[page 148] "To Anastasia the little glade is literally a mother's womb. The glade is her living Motherland. Powerful and kind. And inextricably tied by a natural, living thread to the whole Universe. To the whole creation of the Grand Creator.
      "The little glade is her living Motherland. It came to her mother and her father. And from the One and Only, the Original Father. We could never be a substitute for it. That is why, after burying her parents, we walked away."

What was your Space of Love, dear Reader? Ponder that a while as you click on the link below and read the entire review. Recall in detail where you were born and spent the first seven or so years of your life. Did you make contact with the Earth during that time?

Perhaps by reading Anastasia you will grow to understand and appreciate the space of love you grew up in, and then you will re-create that space of love for your children by allowing them to come into contact with the Earth free of fears or worries so that growing up will infuse them with deep connections to Nature and to Love.

3.) ARJ2: My Editor by M. B. Goffstein

How can I create a blurb of a 26-page book which averages 21 words a page? The blurb on the back of the hardcover book is almost as long as the book itself:

[Rear Book Cover] My Editor will fascinate anyone who has ever wondered what really goes on between a writer and an editor. It re-creates the sometimes frustrating, sometimes rewarding dialogue that develops during the crucial stages of a book's evolution. And with unfailing humor, it offers the suggestion that behind every great writer there is a pretty good editor.

Goffstein writes and illustrates children's books, and this book is written like a children's book, but about an adult subject. Using single geometric figures, such as a circle for herself, a triangle for her editor, and a rectangle for the editor's desk, she illustrates each page. Then she pens a short poem for each page.

[page 2] I sit across
      from his desk,
      torn with love
      I can't express,

The person sitting in front of the editor is not the writer, but someone who represents the writer. Someone all dressed up, prim, proper, and alert — not the writer who while working is usually disheveled in comfortable clothes wearing slippers, with the phone off the hook, deep in thought. Goffstein illustrates her neat self on the last page. We see a circle, her circle, filled with plaid markings and this descriptive text:

[page 26] freshly showered,
      in a plaid shirt,
      trying to act
      intelligent.

This is why I chose for my photo of the author on the masthead of the review, a circle filled with plaid. Go ahead and read the entire review, it's only a few more circles and squares, and a divided triangle, among other things.

In this section I like to comment on events in the world, in my life, and in my readings which have come up during the month. These are things I might have shared with you in person, if we had had the opportunity to coverse during the month. If we did, then you may recognize my words. If I say some things here which upset you, rest assured that you may skip over these for the very reason that I would likely have not brought up the subject to spoil our time together in person.

1. Padre Filius Reads the New Orleans Times-Picayune this Month:

Padre Filius, the cartoon character created by your intrepid editor and would-be cartoonist, will appear from time to time in this Section of the Digest to share us on some amusing or enlightening aspect of the world he observes during his peregrinations.

This month the good Padre reads a Headline in the Jerusalem Post.

2.Comments from Readers:

• EMAIL from Winston:
  Winston Riley wrote: I've read some of your reviews and find your prolific reading to be amazing. I also share an interest in Steiner and will return now for your reviews to lead me to certain works by him.

My Guestbook has been FUBAR for about a year and I didn't know it. Then I complained and a flood of entries came pouring out. Among them were about two dozen emails from students of Prof. Kevin Dann's class at SUNY in Plattsburgh, NY. Here are some of them. Each one began with the curious word "Pakwanonzian!!" When I took a bite out of a Reality Sandwich I found out that it is a Wonbanakiak greeting which means literally, "You look brand new to me!" To all the gracious readers who love-bombed my Guestbook, I offer a sincere and heartfelt Pakwanonzian!!!

• EMAIL Jennifer:
  We had to check this out for a class. After reading what I had to I got interested and now I find myself reading more and more. This is so awesome!

  By the way... Pakwanonzian!

• EMAIL from Ashlie:
  Pakwanonzian!! I loved your review on Rudolf Steiner's "The Destinies of Individuals and of Nations." The points about love and hate, evil as good out of place and remember the future it hums in the present were my favorite!

• EMAIL from Danielle:
  I think you have really managed to make the works of Steiner come alive and really give people something to think about in regards to a more spiritual way of thinking. I skimmed through your review of The Guardian of the Threshold and I especially liked how you claimed what happenings in our life seem to be, to us, accidents, are actually actions planned out by our unconscious spirit for the best. It made me really think about my own life and the path that I have come down. Thank you for such insightful information!!
• EMAIL from Timmy from Dr. Dann's wild safari:
  Comments: Pakwanonzian! although i have only seen a picture of you..still brand new to me... awesome page.. very inlightening..
• EMAIL from Evan:
  Pakwanonzian! I thought that the portal of initiation was pretty interesting. thanks for writing about it so I could read it!
• EMAIL from Brooke:
  Greetings,
  I am a memeber of Kevin Dann's History 132 class. He gave us this link to do research on one of Rudolf Steiner's works. I read through the piece titled: The Karma of Untruthfulness. It was an interesting piece, and I enjoyed the thoughts of the spirtual aspects. Interesting and Informational site.
• EMAIL from Sara:
  I just finished reading your review of "Self-Consciousness, GA# 23 by Rudolf Steiner The Spiritual Human Being." As one who has never read Steiner until recently, I find it fascinating that this man had so much clarity. Your review of Steiner's work makes it easier to understand what he is trying to impart to those with which he spoke. Thank you for the clarifications about human supersensory abilities.
• EMAIL from Tim:
  What a fantastic site, good interesting information. Thanks for having this site, great job!
• EMAIL from Dave about my review of Anastasia:
  Dear Bobby:
  What a great review! My firm desire is that all those who CAN and WILL make a difference in the upliftment of consciousness will not only read this, but will put it into "action." Good show! — and thanks for all you do!
  Blessings to you and Del,
  Dave

3. JUMPING GENES and SEEDS AS PHYSICIANS

I have been doing some study of neuroscience with Prof. Robert Sapolsky of Stanford, and have found the process by which the gardener, the garden, and the soil are interconnected in an exquisite feedback loop.

Plants have lots of transposable genetic events, what Barbara McClintock's work predicted ("jumping genes"). When you plant a seed it receives chemical information from your body which causes the internal genetic structure of the plant to modify itself in order to provide in the food you receive from the plant exactly what your body needs to be healthy. Professor Sapolsky has no clue, so far as I know, about the complete feedback loop which goes from gardener to seed to plant to produce to gardener, and how it creates health in people who garden and eat their own produce, but Anastasia knows it and speaks about it in Book 1 of the Ringing Cedars series in the chapter on "Seed as Physician". Luckily I was taking the course Biology and Human Behavior from Prof Sapolsky at the same time as reading and studying Anastasia. Yesterday I got it that science already knows how it's possible for the world to be such that plants will provide us everything we need to be healthy and free of all diseases, if we will only get out of the way — i. e. stop intefering with the exquisite feedback loop already in place between the gardener, the garden's plants, and the soil.

How do we stop interfering? By planting and eating our own food as much as possible. The food we eat in restaurants or buy in groceries stores are often grown hundreds and thousands of miles away, in California or Chili or Argentina, and that long supply line ensures a break in the feedback loop from gardener and consumer of the food. When you plant the seed or the seedling, it receives chemical information from the moisture in your breath, the perspiration of your hands, among other things, and that information acts as a "stressor" on the plants and leads to the moving of sections of genes around so that they code for new proteins exactly designed to re-balance whatever incipient imbalances in one's body could lead to illness. Plants, in other words, can act as our personal physician if we allow them to by planting and eating food planted, nurtured, and harvested in local gardens.

My grandfather, Clairville Pierre Matherne, worked as a barber for 60 years. Every time we went to visit him, he always took us outside to look at his garden. He lived in good health to the age of 82, and his wife, Belle, lived well up into her nineties. His son, Hilman, my dad, will celebrate his 90th birthday next month. He also had a garden when I was growing up, even in the postage stamp lot of our first home in the city of Westwego, and later for fifty years in a lot-size garden area next to his home in suburban Mimosa Park. It amazes that I chose so well the family that I came to be a part of for this lifetime. Both Hilman and Anette came from families with local gardens adjacent to their homes. Pierre Gabriel and Daisy Babin were my maternal grandparents and much of the produce we ate and canned came from their garden as I was growing up. I am also amazed that it took a lifetime of learning for me to come to understand the value of the world in which I grew up, especially the importance of growing and eating one's own food, something I did not understand or appreciate fully, up until now.

4. RECEIVED WITHOUT CONTENTS

The latest SteinerBooks Catalog arrived today delivered by my United States Postal Service postman. A break in the clouds overhead shines light upon beautiful of a field of yellow flowers receding to the distant mountains — this is the image on the front cover. On the rear cover is a closeup of what appears to be the side and base of a red tulip bloom. And at the book is a rectangle containing the address information with my name and address on it. Stamped carelessly in bright red are the words:

           RECEIVED WITHOUT
              CONTENTS

Inside the front cover was a description of the latest volume of The Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner, "Becoming the Archangel Michael's Companion" which I may buy for my library. It is billed as Rudolf Steiner's Challenge to the Younger Generation, of which I consider myself to be a member.

Inside the rear cover was a blurb for "The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily" — A Fairy Tale by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and information about Sturbridge College (for becoming a Waldorf Teacher) and The Barfield School for those who wish to ingrate academic research, meditative inquiry, and artistic exploration.

To complete my description of what I received in my mailbox, it is necessary to describe the two gaping holes in the place where staples were placed to hold the contents of the catalog to its beautiful cover, which contents were clearly removed by some USPS automatic mail handling equipment which tore the cover off and sped it on its way, and tossed the contents on the floor to be thrown away.

Any proprietary business, such UPS, DHL, FEDEX would have had an employee pick up the contents, re-attach it inside its cover and then speed it on its way. But the USPS is an agent of the Federal Bureaucracy and thus it operates OUTSIDE OF THE LAW of HUMAN DECENCY and MORALITY. Instead of a stamp apologizing for its mistake, I received a stamp expecting me to believe that the USPS received this catalog cover to be mailed WITHOUT ITS CONTENTS! ! ! ! What kind of fool am I if I believe that stamp? The evidence to the contrary is in my hands. The USPS charged full price for a delivering a catalog and then delivered only its cover!

Once I loaned a couple of shirt studs to a friend and when he mailed it back the USPS machine had spit the two studs out the edge of the double envelope, and some caring USPS employee had taped up the end of the EMPTY ENVELOPE and sent it along to me. At least this time I got the beautiful cover.

Does America deserve a proprietary Postal System to the replace the coercive agent of the Federal Bureaucracy which cannot get the simplest things right and when it makes a mistake, blames it on someone else? ! !

5. Thomas Jefferson on Taxation of Incomes as DOUBLE TAXATION

Quote in italics is from The Patriot Post for August 16, 2007, Founders' Quote Daily:

For example. If the system be established on basis of Income, and his just proportion on that scale has been already drawn from every one, to step into the field of Consumption, and tax special articles in that, as broadcloth or homespun, wine or whiskey, a coach or a wagon, is doubly taxing the same article. For that portion of Income with which these articles are purchased, having already paid its tax as Income, to pay another tax on the thing it purchased, is paying twice for the same thing; it is an aggrievance on the citizens who use these articles in exoneration of those who do not, contrary to the most sacred of the duties of a government, to do equal and impartial justice to all its citizens.
       — Thomas Jefferson (letter to Joseph Milligan, 6 April 1816)
Reference: The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Memorial Edition, Lipscomb and Bergh, eds., vol. 14 (465)

Jefferson made a very strong case against taxation of one's incomes. We are taxed on our incomes and then every item we buy is taxed in one way or another at a local, state, sometimes Federal level. Jefferson would be appalled to see what mischief the U. S. Constitution has been put to by those who forget it was a document intended to prevent those very abuses.

There is some hope, however. Recently a wage earner won a case in court against the IRS by claiming he had no income because he exchanged his time at work for the wage he earned. Let the IRS dare to take this case to the Supreme Court, which would have to rule on the matter. We could suddenly find a more equitable form of taxation which does not require the current sham of "voluntary compliance" to a coercive IRS.

6. The Advertiser, Lafayette Newspaper asked if Cajun is still cool.

Read all the answers here. My answer is a little over halfway down the webpage page.

Or you can read my answer here:

You asked, "Is Cajun cool?"

Mais, I don' t'ink so, me! Cajuns are hot!

I liked it better being a Cajun when nobody outside of Louisiana knew what they were.

Example in 1972 my California plate was CAJUN . Then when I moved to Massachusetts a year later, we got this plate there: CAJUNS

And when we found a restaurant back then which had Cajun food, it was authentic Cajun food, not some skewed, over-spiced and mostly tasteless concoction as you find in nine out of ten Cajun dishes today.

I grew up in SE Louisiana and my Babin grandmother did not prepare spicy foods. We only spiced up our boiled seafood and oyster sauce. Any spicy-ness on our gumbos came from the boiled seafood we used in it. That's how I cook still today, using only a capful of liquid crab boil to soak raw shrimp if I don't have time to boil them. [My recipes for Bobby Jeaux's Kitchen are at http://www.doyletics.com/recipes.htm]

What it means to be a Cajun today to me is that I enjoy the joie de vivre that my Cajun ancestors taught me. Enjoy food, family, and fun after my work is done, and do all with my full heart, mind, and soul.

To me our Acadian heritage is just that: ACADIAN — not FRENCH per se.

We can see it first of all in the Cajun language. It is NOT a dialect of FRENCH! Cajuns speak the 17th century language spoken in Brittany, a pure French, not a dialect, not a lesser French, not a bad French as some people, ignorant of the origin of Cajun French, might believe, up until now. If there is a mongrelized French, it is the language spoken today by the French people because the Parisian spoken French in the early 19th century was proclaimed by edict from Napoleon to be the language of France from that time forth. So Brittany farmers thereafter had descendants that spoke the French of Napoleon, but my Acadian ancestors living on the great peninsula of Acadia still spoke the pure French of original Brittany before Napoleon.

And they still speak that French today, with the addition of many English words and phrases, of course.

Be Proud, Cajuns, of the pure French you speak and do not make apologies for speaking your native language.

Secondly, it means that our French heritage skips everything that happened in France since the 17th century. All the events of the 18th century is a French-only heritage, not an Acadian heritage. This is another fine point that is lost on many people, especially some involved in CODOFIL. I see that organization's function in encouraging French speaking in Louisiana as valuable and useful. Whatever French language we learn, we will be able to speak with other French people around the world. But celebrating Quatorzes Juillet or Bastille Day which happened in the latter part of the 18th Century is NOT a part of Acadian Heritage and for my part, I could care less, AS A CAJUN, to celebrate that event. It brought freedom to French people, but also resulted in massive deaths by guillotine and led later to rule by a tyrant, the Emperor Napoleon. The National Anthem of France, the Marseilles, is thus, not the anthem of Cajuns, but of the French people who remained in France after the Brittany potato farmers migrated to Acadia in peace.

As an American I thank the French for their help in the Revolutionary war. But I am most proud to be part of my peace-loving folk who find war-like behavior obnoxious, something to be avoided unless one is forced into it at the point of a gun. Folk who would rather move elsewhere than live under tyranny.

Be Proud, Cajuns, and imitate the peaceful nature of your Brittany ancestors who loved God, family, friends, and food above all things!

Thanks for asking, — Bobby Matherne, Gretna

Thanks to all of you for providing the chemistry which has made this site a success. — Especially those of you who have graciously allowed us to show your photos on this website — you're looking good!

In 2011, its tenth year of existence, the doyletics website will top the EIGHT MILLION VISITORS MARK ! ! !

Our hits are averaging about ten times the number of unique visitors. A unique visitor is defined by our collection agent, Urchin, as a visitor who reads at least one page, leaves the website, and doesn't return for at least 20 minutes. So multiple page reads by the same person are not counted as new visitors. This is a conservative way of counting visitors.Our Hits average over 10X the number of Visitors.

As of February 1, 2012 we have received over 8.8 MILLION VISITORS to the Doyletics Website since its inception in August 1, 2001, over TEN YEARS AGO. Over 1 Million in the past 12 months. We are currently averaging about 89,000 visitors a month [Over One Million a year].

IMPORTANT NOTE: With the new Urchin Logs after an Earthlink Upgrade, our numbers seemed to have fallen dramatically, and it was hard to tell if the new numbers were simply wrong or if the old numbers were artificially high. To complicate matters, the engineers worked for the entire summer to get the Urchin logs to begin to work, and they were undependable until mid-September, 2011. It appears to have started working again in October, but full data seems to take a month to arrive. By January, the data became dependable again, but Urchin has redefined what constitutes a Visitor and that is what has caused the apparent fall in Visitors. With eleven years of data, I know that my Hits to Visitors ratio was 10, using with the previous definition of Visitor as a connection by someone who is not returning within 20 minutes. Now the ratio has risen to 20X because Urchin has redefined a Visitor as a Unique first visit by someone. I have adjusted for the change in Visitor definition, and my Daily and Monthly Adjusted Visitors will continue to rise as they have in the past with no discontinuity.
