Anastasia
by Vladimir Megre
These messages are coming from Anastasia, a beautiful young woman, discovered by a trader in 1995, living alone, deep in the wild forests of Siberia. She is considered to be a surviving member of an ancient Vedic civilization whose extraordinary powers and knowledge FAR EXCEED anything known today. She displays the most developed psychic and mental powers including remote viewing and healing, mind reading and seemingly perfect memory. What she revealed to this trader turned his world upside down. As a result he abandoned his business, and agreed at her request to write a book that would change the world! She told him she would imbue her words with an energy that would cause his books to sell in the millions. Despite his total lack of writing experience this is exactly what has happened!
