Topic: Ringing Cedars

The discussion covers the modern revival of indigenous Russian and Slavic spirituality following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Gary Lachman highlights the "Ringing Cedars" movement, based on the Anastasia books by Vladimir Megre, which has gained immense popularity by promoting a mystical connection to the Siberian wilderness. This resurgence of paganism and native Slavic gods mirrors similar trends in the West and other parts of the North, such as Iceland.

The discussion concludes with the idea that while most people survive hospital births physically, their spiritual capacities have been neutralized. Referencing the Ringing Cedars book series, Barcello describes the "pristine earthling" as a version of humanity prior to genetic and traumatic alteration. She argues that damaged instincts and the inability to form healthy relationships are evidence of the trauma inflicted during the birthing process.
