Product Description

Hailed by USA Today as the "handbook of the New Age" and widely regarded as one of the most important books of the 20th century, The Aquarian Conspiracy has sold 1.5 million copies worldwide. Continually in print since 1980, it is being reissued in an anniversary edition in fall 2005. Aquarius Now is the sequel.

The Aquarian Conspiracy was the harbinger of a new segment of society with a vastly enlarged concept of human potential and social transformation. In Aquarius Now consciousness pioneer Marilyn Ferguson re-examines this paradigm shift and dares to ask, "Can we change?" We not only can, we must--and now.

But Aquarius Now is not another radical lefty rant. It draws from a deep well of information and knowledge as well as discoveries of the past 30 years, some rooted in ancient mysteries and truths swept aside by those in authority. Stressing that there is no "they" other than ourselves, Ferguson shows that today's chaotic world only mirrors the imbalance inside us, and that we have the tools to fix both.

Aquarius Now convincingly promotes a leaderless interdependence in which individuals can reclaim personal sovereignty and take responsibility for their lives and for the world.

From Publishers Weekly
Themes of seeing light through darkness and revealing secrets once hidden, as well as a range of inspirational thoughts on human perseverance from many a familiar thinker, pepper this book and indicate its tone and content. Using an often vague and confusing self-help style, Ferguson, author of TheAquarian Conspiracy and former publisher of Brain/Mind Bulletin, attempts to reignite the radical left toward social revolution by transforming humanity to combat the current "malaise," one self at a time. What we must save ourselves from is unclear, though Ferguson asserts it is neither Republican nor Democrat, liberal nor conservative, and only offers confirmation of her view that Christian fundamentalism is working for the dark side. Each chapter offers readers passionate, if choppily written, explanations of the many ways to use bodies and minds in the battle toward a higher consciousness. Filled with motivational bits like "Liberty is what we make of our freedom" and "You can have control or you can have creation but you can't have both," Ferguson's book is unwavering in its determination to inspire, if not offer an intelligible thesis.
