Resonant Cedars: Cosmic Energy and New Beginnings

The religious organization “Resonant Cedars of Russia” is presented in the materials as part of the Anastasia movement, whose focus is on a special veneration of the cedar tree. In the movement’s teachings, the cedar is given great significance and is considered a “cosmic energy accumulator.” In particular, the following explanation is provided: “God created the cedar as an accumulator of the energies of the Cosmos. Megre calls these ‘miracle’ cedars resonant because ‘… cedars … accumulate, but do not return the accumulated energy. After five hundred years of their life, they begin to resonate. That is how they speak with their gentle ringing; that is how they signal for people to cut them down to harness the accumulated energy on Earth.’” This statement (source: 263_1311.txt) reflects the central doctrine of the organization, according to which the cedar possesses unique energetic properties and its “resonating” sound serves as a signal for the correct interaction between humanity and nature.

Accumulation and Greed: The Roots of Social Injustice

Accumulation and avarice, especially when accompanied by ruthless methods of enrichment, lead to increased poverty and social injustice for several reasons. First of all, such a pursuit of wealth creates the accumulation of enormous fortunes, which does not improve the lives of the majority but only increases the contrast between the rich and the poor. As one source states, “As long as the entire growth of wealth, which is called material progress, goes only into the creation of vast fortunes, into the increase of luxury and the strengthening of the contrast between the House of Abundance and the House of Need, progress cannot be considered genuine and lasting” (source: 275_1373.txt). This indicates that material progress based on accumulation merely deepens the divide between the privileged and the deprived segments of society.

The Dual Impulses Within: Balancing Self-Preservation and Self-Destruction

The paradoxical coexistence of the drive for self-preservation and the pull toward self-destruction can be explained as an expression of the deep duality of the human psyche, where forces aimed at sustaining life coexist with impulses that push an individual toward self-annihilation. According to one concept, the unconscious houses not only powerful life instincts but also destructive tendencies. For example, it is noted:

From Willpower to Wisdom

Habits arising from acts of will play an important role in developing a person’s intellectual and spiritual pursuits, as they transform the initial conscious effort into an automated mode, freeing mental energy for higher forms of activity. When a person consciously directs their willpower toward performing actions that initially require significant effort, these actions eventually become habits. Consequently, the energy previously spent on managing volitional processes is released and can be channeled into the development of intellect and the spiritual realm.

Creative Transformation: Harnessing the Energy of War

The destructive energy of war can be transformed into a creative force by rethinking and redirecting the original dynamics of conflict. On one hand, war awakens within an individual an energy capable not only of destruction but also of propelling powerful, continuous forward movement—as long as that energy is channeled toward creation. As noted in one source, "In continuous action, in struggle, in movement. As soon as the machine stops—the era of NEP—human cells inevitably decay... This is the same energy that, in the years of the civil war, roused and set the exhausted, broken Russia on its hindquarters." (source: 1258_6286.txt). This demonstrates that the dynamic of struggle, even if born of war, can be harnessed to transform and develop society.
