One of the basic principles of human existence and happiness here on earth is love and family. The modern world has taken its toll on the circumstances in which families evolve, but this continues to be one of the fundamental values of most human beings. One of the most complicated challenges facing us in our societies today, is finding the right partner to start a family.
In our wokism-infected societies, people go to bars and discos, all made-up and dressed to seduce. The environments are very loud, with the presence of alcohol and often other perception-altering substances. Often in such circumstances, people fall in love with those who excite their senses and desires. Afterwards, they are often bewildered and disgusted to see faces and looks that are very different from those they thought they had met. Such unions don’t usually last long. Sometimes they even fizzle out the very next morning!
One of the people who has intelligently promoted the family for this modern world is Anastasia from Siberia, the one I’ve been telling you about extensively on this blog for years. These traditions have really come into their own in her native Russia. The world’s largest country is a great believer in traditional family values. It’s also where an activity that I wanted to talk to you about today has taken root.
In Russia and other countries that have read and loved the works of Anastasia of Siberia, special events are organized for those looking for a soul mate. These are festive evenings where, interspersed with musical and artistic renderings, people take to the stage to introduce themselves. They tell their stories, and explain why they’re looking for a mate, and where/how/when they want to build their little love nests, the family domain. There’s no better way to find the right person, as the authenticity and frankness of presenting yourself as you are is the best guarantee of finding someone with the same affinities.
We need to create events like this everywhere, because there’s no greater endeavor in this world than starting a family. There are no more beautiful moments than those found in long-lasting love. There aren’t many of those cyclical events celebrating the seasons, seedings and harvests where communities used to gather to give thanks to nature, exchange the abundance she bestows and celebrate meetings and reunions. There, in these community celebrations lasting several days, young people had many circumstances, games and rituals to find the one they could love and with whom build a family. I think one day we’ll go back to those ways, as life in those communities was healthier, had more meaning and had a great abundance of beautiful moments. But until that day comes, it would be wise and auspicious to look for the one with whom to found a family and create a beautiful domain to welcome life in all its fullness.
Joy, Light and Love

When my dad was young, there were dances held in country halls, in rural Australia. These were not for drinking, or groping in the dark, or dancing alone. They were chaperoned, with set dances. Dad and his brother had been taught to waltz, etc, properly, and to always dance with the “wallflowers”, ie, the shy girls, who sat, not being asked to dance, not making a bee line for the popular girls, like the other boys did, , but to be gentlemen, and to be kind to everybody These events were well chaperoned, but everyone got to know each other, in the light, with their clothes on.
Dad ended up marrying a nurse he met on a blind date… and, 63 years later, my parents are still loving and together. But they had grown up, meeting .other singles, in safe settings, and learnt how to “choose once, and choose well”…
Thank you for sharing that. A good example.
