Meet Meda Rose -- Anastasia's Alter Ego

Excerpted from Camelot Disrupted, a work in progress

Around the base of a mountain, two rivers rushed toward one another seeking passage to the sea. Nestled into the mountain was a secluded, magical spot called Black Bear Mountain Village. An aging warrior woman stood on the mountain’s side. She was timeless as an oak, ageless from a distance, graceful in standing repose. Someone who understood such things would have known her to be listening to an ancient wisdom. To others she might just seem to be thinking, eyes closed, shoulder length hair gently lifted by the breeze, hands resting comfortably in front of her. A lark sang in the distance as rays of sunshine filtered through leaves to dapple her face. 

She wore a deep turquoise garment, and although this wrap might have looked out of place somewhere else, here beneath an ancient tree it looked almost inevitable, foretold. A playful skittling through the underbrush was the closest sign of life but by no means the only one. The clearing was alive with subtle sounds, the creatures’ business of the early morning, a vibrant felt sense of awe that hummed up from the earth. They were an earthly song behind the images that danced before the woman’s eyes bringing her now to focus on a particular arrangement, a hazy series of forms and figures charged with meaning for her.  

“It’s here!” she exclaimed, almost child-like in her delight.  “My time has come!”  

Oversoul had guided her to this, shone a light on her footsteps in those times when she’d been lost.  And It lifted her with that silent but certain voice she had heard that one time of her Prophecy. The instructions of that one time had guided her destiny the many days of her life since, sometimes consciously, other times not. Now, as she relaxed into the imagery, pieces of memory assembled themselves into a pattern in the woman’s mind, a pattern as wondrous and shifting as the jeweled pieces of the kaleidoscope she’d cherished as a child, a gift from her father. Her father – his loss pained her still… Her hero -- honored too late by her, yet out of her grief had come healing and an inheritance she could now pass on to others.

The woman let out a breath, almost a sigh. She widened her stance in defense of something not yet quite seen, as if the pictures coalescing in front of her carried messages of such weight she would need to readjust herself in order to take them in fully. But it was not resistance. She had almost always been an eager learner, often times out of sheer desperation. Next she would need to contemplate what to tell the others of what Oversoul had guided her to see this time.

Then she would wait for further instructions as to what exactly would be required of her in order to, at last, reveal to multitudes  the wisdom and the guidance of her prophecy and how to best implement these in troubled times.

Anastasia's Alter Ego -- Meda Rose Contrasts Radical Truth-Telling And Gaslighting

Under construction

Excerpted draft from a work in progress, Camelot Disrupted

Meda Rose – in our tale, Camelot Disrupted, as it begins, is contemplating plans for her return to Washington, D.C. to carry out the instructions of her Prophecy. 

She contrasts her community life at Black BeaMountain Village with fast track life in D.C. , reflecting that, unlike the nation’s capital, it is filled with the gifts of radical truth-telling combined with unconditional love, respect, peace and unity— all of which make even hard times gratifying – after they are overcome – that is. 

And at BBMV, hard times do pass, often with some effort, collective effort – community effort

Radical truth-telling is the key! 

In the language of slang, the term "gaslighting" and it's attributes might be used to describe the anthesis of radical truth-telling. In the language of Transactional Analysis (TA), the psychological model in which Meda had trained as an organizational consultant, specializing in women's issues and later male-female interpersonal dynamics and had earned most of the national and international

organization's highest credentials, the phenomenon called gaslighting would instead be called "discounting," an unconscious dynamic with true gaslighting, given its hidden agendas being the manipulation and control of others, one of the most destructive forms.

Meda, in establishing the culture of BBMV placed a ban on discounting - whatever its form, replacing that very human yet highly dysfunctional process with one of the village’s day-to-day disciplines being the assisting of one another in striving to be wholly conscious, a challenging endeavor to say the least. 

The die-hard commitment to this process is what makes all else at BBMV so profound.  

Meda takes great pleasure in having brought the principle and the practice of no denying, no lying, no minimizing or ignoring of relevant data to BBMV - straight out of TA -- to be foundational for BBMV culture.

New Podcast Series: Radical Truth-Telling Comes To Black Bear Mountain Village 

Launching date -- December 7

On Anastasia's Possible Human Possible Society Radio Show 

Commenting From Anastasia

And...introducing Anastasia's alter ego -- Meda Rose as depicted in Anastasia's forthcoming (maybe by next Thanksgiving??) work in progress Camelot Disrupted.

Anastasia commenting:

Until the world accepts and applies the wisdom that comes of the merging of SCIENCE and MYSTICISM, the merging of left and right brain processing and perceiving and learns to apply that wisdom to all things, great and small-- unnecessary tragedy will continue.

UNNECESSARILY!!

Meda Rose wisdom:

But there are solutions. Look to Gandhi's words for inspiration --.

 "We do best to begin by carving out territories or zones of peace in our personal relations where violence and deceit won't be used."

.A  Anastasia Commenting: And look to Meda Rose to tell you how and guide you on your journey to AWE! 

I've Learned Some Things From There (March 16, 2020) To Here

Under construction 

Of all the many things I've learned, living under the life-threatening pressures of the pandemic -- and -- the tyranny of Donald Trump, is this one thing that stands out as the most signicant and important to know. 

So essential is this one thing that I have come to know as a truth deep in the very core of my being, a knowing that only the challenges of the pandemic could have brought me to comprehend. That and the devastating era of Trump. 

This one thing!

So much a truth to me that, perhaps it is becoming the central theme of my book in progress Camelot Disrupted.

Read what I am saying here.

See what you think.

Even let me know with an email at mountainwomanrj@aol.com  or comment on this site that my Beloved Personal Assistant, Jill,will be moderating.

Here it is -- 

Nothing in the world is more venerable, more gorgeous, more the very essence of art, than a fully developed human being functioning at his or her optimum capacity -- doing their best, whatever that is, facing life as is, full face foreword.

Nothing in the world is more magnificent!

The "Lesson" is embedded in the Rabbi Zusya quote below --

Rabbi Zusya said before his death, "In the coming world, they will not ask me: 'Why were you not Moses?' They will ask me: 'Why were you not Zusya?”.

 What do you think about that?

To Share Or Not To Share

Part I: Anastasia the Storyteller returns -- officially -- with tales to tell: "Where I've been, where I am and where I'm going." -- The topic and what's in it for you.

.

O.K.!!

Bread's in the oven baking away a.k.a. my/our book is -- at last -- beginning to take shape! And is it ever gonna be a tale to tell!

Yippee! Anastasia's true story fictionalized to heighten the pleasure I'm having turning my life's ups and downs and ultimate achievements out of it all into teaching tales -- specially designed to be, not only a tale to tell but a fictionalized, based on facts --backstory on how to make "exploring one's dark side" into a playbook for becoming a "possible human, building a possible society."

Such fun!

Definitely -- This work in progress is a lot about where I've been, where I am and where I'm going.

But it's been a long, hard journey to get here -- to this book of mine, Camelot Disrupted, truly being on its path to publication. Lots more to do for sure.

And I'm not quite sure what to do next in many ways, right here and now, including --

"What do I tell readers of my three interconnected blogs where I've been, now that I "feel" ready to return (to stay, not just pop in and out intermittently) with some good, even great wisdom, news, information and hopefully inspiration to share -- "G-d willing and the creek don't rise ?

I've almost disappeared from here for long periods of time since the pandemic began and feel quite lucky to continue to still have the loyal following I seem to have accrued, seriously diminished though its been.

But then who hasn't disappeared during these challenging, often scary times?

And who could possibly have avoided "diminishment" -- typical, for most of us, in multiple areas these past few years?

Nonetheless, I think I'm back. I hope so. I love the many gifts blog writing has given me now for more than a decade.

My story -- or at least a big part of it -- is about my book writing adventure -- initiated in early Ocober, 2020. The project was "supposed" to culminate in a publishable product by now!! which I would then have put in the hands of an agent -- according to the mega-thousands dollar contract we signed with a seemingly??? reputable New York Times bestselling ghost writing agency.  OMG!

But awfully disappointing with this first agency who we have every intention of bringing suit against for mega bucks!

Story for another time.

Nonetheless -- we are at last here at a joyful new beginning with a very promising new agency, heading for product completion -- and -- publication asap -- making a great story our priority.

Q: Why do I say "we" and "our"?

A: Because for a first time ever I have a writing team and a really good one. Best member, my BFF Sue. And THE SHARED adventure we are having in the doing is like nothing I've ever experienced before! 

And believe me when I say I've lived a life of adventure most always, as my awesome forthcoming fantasy, historical fiction book Camelot Disrupted, Book One, Lost Hope Regained, will fancifully depict..

But nothing EVER quite like this.

 The co-creating is lifting me higher than I've ever known before.

Watch me soar!

More to come.
