"Overload An Organism With Stimuli And It Will Fragment

...and reorganize at a higher level," stated Ilya Prigogine, winner of the 19..Nobel Prize for biology, summarizing his discoveries in creating his "Theory of Dissipative Structures that had won him the prize.

Look at yourself, your friends and family, your co-workers, the members of your community. Aren't you and all those around not living this phenomenon right now -- greatly the product of our pandemic.

Prigogines theory illuminates the process of human evolution under stress. And yet we still have choices: personal and collective transformation is one way. Mental illness, suicide and other forms of violence are others.

It is a choice.

And We've Got a Lot To Talk About ...

October 6, 2023

Our Ms Class -- Study Group is beginning to put down roots deep into our Harper's Ferry soil on the side of one of the mountains that became a battlefield during the  Civil War. We take equality, social justice and peace very seriously here.

And this class, now entering its "Second Season" is becoming Step #1 of our training ground for the mind -- clear thinking, hearts open, community- building a "zone of peace" -- that we are intent on doing here - "Becoming BlackBearMountainVillage."

Communication, honest and caring -- refineded into an art form is key! (Check out NH/ZOP on "Dialogue vs debate.")

We've got a lot to talk about ...You and I -- if you are like minded with me -- not being "sames" but ideologically.

From here forth I'm going to be on the road to becoming more and more accessible -- umm? 

Storytelling will be one of our most important vehicles - my stories, your stories, our collective stories.

I" going to become more open to meaningful dialogue with more people - in the service of doing my part in overcoming polarization and building that "possible society" we've been visioning, by coming together to pool our human resources and reinforce our strengths

I'm committing myself to being more publicly and privately visible. I hate the thought of it! But here I go anyway because it is TOTALLY clear to me that I DO know how to do battle with the darkness and potentially  defeat it. Or at least give it a run for the money.

But only as a team effort -- a team already in the making, intent on doing our best to defeat the dark, an opportunity we must actively rise to meet and our gift if we take it as such. It is imperative that we now  work together to achieve this end. You do see that, don't you?

None of us should sit on the sidelines. You do your part -- and -- I do mine. 

Tomorrow I won't want to believe I'm having the Chutzpah to come out and say this so boldly. But here it is!

Long time coming!

We here at Black Bear Mountain Village marked and celebrated the "official" beginning of my "Prophecized Return" to the nation's capital, bringing me to see my role and hoping we can travel together some for awhile.

Quite a journey its been for me to get here -- and blindness and threatened blindness aren't even half of the story although Clarity -- body mind and spirit are more than half.

Please let us pull together and do our utmost to overcome polarization and corruption in our country. 

You do SEE -- don't you -- we've got work to do?  Talking together about this stuff and the challenges now facing us is a start.

Coming Soon! The True Story Behind --:

To See Or Not To See -- And The Art Of Transcendent Living: A True Story About Clarity

Also coming soon --

Anatasua's Eye 

Patch Party Fund

Dedicated to providing scholarship funds for the traing and development of qualified applicants seeking ever-increasing clarity -- body, mind and spirit and a commitment to contributing that clarity out into the world --compassionately.

Did you know I had my right eye surgically removed?

Well I did. In December, 

2019 - just before the pandemic closed alwmost everything down. And, of course you didn't know I have battling threatened blindness in my left eye since February.

Indeed -- I am challenged once again and also transforming out of my body going through the ordeal.

I want to talk to you -- a lot -- between now and next year at b this time about SEEING WITH  CLARITY and its importance for your life -- and ours.

Why this time frame?

It all gets back to Kennedy’s words --

"Ask not what your country can do for you, bit what can I do for my country."

More to come.

Meda Rose.(Standing in for Anastasia) Takes Her First Steps To Becoming An Activist - An Excerpt

Excerpted from -- Camelot Disrupted: Book One of Lost Hope Regained.

Deep inside her, the meaning of these words of JFK -- "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country,” -- spoken so movingly, would grow in significance as

the seeds of the future social activist, now firmly planted and growing inside of Meda --

But it would take another watershed moment added to two more politically-motivated late 1960s assassinations, that of Martin Luther King Jr. And Bobby Kennedy and another great loss and societal upheaval involving a sitting president, Richard Nixon —an event that would forever change the American political landscape and the views held of the Presidency—to give rise to the activist Meda was meant to become. Her personal destiny and her country’s were to be on a course of convergence.

And so it was that on Labor Day weekend, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of Anastasia's losing her eyesight, Anastasia -- Marcia who is becoming Meda Rose and her dearest board members quitletly marked and celebrated that day, September 2 as 

Anastasia's Day Of "Formally" Launch Her Prophecized Return"

More to come.

The Moments After "Camelot Disrupted" -- An Excerpt

.

Excerpted from -- Camelot Disrupted: Book One of Lost Hope Regained.

And in the blink of an eye, Meda’s and an entire generation’s dreams were challenged, unimaginably, by two bullets from a long-barreled rifle. 

Were dreams that fragile that they could die with one iconic man?

The assassination of JFK would truly dim the lights of Kennedy's Camelot, the myth of King Arthur come alive once more -- for a time -- so it was that Meda, the future visionary activist heard herself vowing quietly to herself that though JFK was to be dead, the ideals of Camelot were not. 

Many would carry the message Kennedy had instilled in them—words encouraging service. “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country,” and Meda would be one of them. 

I've Never Heard Of...

 . Such A Thing Before!! 

Maybe in a fairy tale?

An almost fifty year old Prophesy, circa 1974! Given -- or whatever that might mean, describing an experience that could only be explained and described as coming from Spirit! And, fortuitously coming to me! the day before Nixon resigned, giving me an assignment to help heal our country at some citizen's wounded time-- in some as yet undetermined future when such travesties as Watergate could rise again -- like this one we are presently in, like no other in American history. A time like no other to best use what we've got to offer.

OMG! Whoopee!!

Now here I am fifty -- 50!!! years later and I've now carried it -- the mission -- into the end zone -"Anastasia's Prophesized Return To Capitol Hill With A Message" (LOL -- much more than a mere message but also with clear cut instructions on establishing a method to support the message, now also almost carried out, or at least in motion to be carried out -- penultimatelty -- pending delivery to the proper sources, whoever they may be.

This determining is a task for the NH/ZOP, soon to be Black Bear Mountain Village Project Board of Director's decision making process and especially my own.

A small town girl -- me -- originally from Elyria, Ohio, just going through life trying to do her best and be her best -- except in those years when she, being me, was fighting for her survival or the years after when -- all on her own, she landed herself right in the middle of the Washington DC shark tank -- or as some like to call it -- the swamp. Young and on her own. No one to turn to.

Camelot Disrupted explains it all -- or almost all -- in historical fiction--fantasy form, intended to be a useful and inspiring playbook through storytelling for social activists.

This book alone can earn Anastasia 85% of her "credits" towards mission complete.

Oh!! Yummy! It's getting sooo good -- our work in progress! We're about halfway done and hope to complete by early 2024 and be out in 2024.

In summary, what this book means for me is: 

1. 85% carrying out The Prophecy

2. ME -- Going totally, or almost, public -- taking off the "1000 masks I wear -- all of which are me."

3. Inviting YOU to be in "The Return With Me."

And so much more!!

Imagine what you'd create in a fifty year blueprint -- ready to fly!!

Is this a miracle or what?
