The Aquarian Conspiracy: Personal and Social Transformation in Our Time

by Marilyn Ferguson

Description

Here is the human potential masterwork that defined the New Age. Called "an exciting vision of the future" (Cleveland Plain Dealer), "a handbook of the New Age" (USA Today),  and "a new charter of human possibility" (Norman Cousins) upon its initial publication in 1980, The Aquarian Conspiracy is a breathtaking, compelling study of the changes in work, relationships, medicine, religion, education, and more that comprised the birth of the New Age movement.   An influence on thinkers from show more Deepak Chopra to Al Gore, The Aquarian Conspiracy remains a thorough, detailed classic of contemporary thought--an impeccable document that traces one of the most powerful cultural movements of our age. show less

Excuse me while I sound like the English nerd that I am, but there is great voice in this memoir. I read most of it while my students were engaged in their own SSR, and oftne times I would disturb them with bursts of laughter or long-drawn out sighs.
Comecei este livro cheio de vontade de perceber esta conspiração, mas o livro é desgastante pois vai a um nível tão metafísico que se torna difícil perceber onde podemos nós conseguir fazer a diferença num modo tão manipulado e marcado pela ganância, corrupção, consumismo e interesses.
Nicholas takes us on a 3 week trip around the world with his brother Micah. the story is told in the present as he is on the trip as well as in flashbacks of his childhood.
Interesting but a bit off.
A contemporary look at the changes of the 1980s.
LA CONSPIRACIÓN DE ACUARIO

Atrevido, estimulante, cromático y enciclopédico, best seller
mundial (500.000 ejemplares vendidos en USA, y traducido
a ocho idiomas), La conspiración de Acuario de Marilyn
Ferguson tiene que ver con el diseño de una cultura nueva,
con una manera nueva de pensar viejos problemas, o sea, y
para usar el ya clásico vocablo, con un cambio de paradigma.

Es el tema de nuestro tiempo: la lucha, en todos los frentes
contra la entropía. Queremos lo improbable y asumimos el
azar. Queremos ascender en la escala milagrosa de la complejidad,
anudar antagonismos antes contradictorios, interrelacionarlo todo con
todo, cobrar conciencia ecológica, usar lógica cibermética. Crear
novedad. El nuevo paradigma nos habla de la show more creación de ese nuevo
orden improbable a través de las fluctuaciones, los desórdenes
parciales: una visión del mundo en la que convergen las más
recientes adquisiciones de la ciencia y las más antiguas tradiciones
misticas.

La llamada Conspiración de Acuario agrupa a millones de
personas que, de manera invisible, están cambiando la sociedad
a través de la expansión de su propio potencial humano y
desde una actitud de perpetua explorución, Es el compendío de
los camblos personales y sociales que habran de presldir nuestra
entrada en el siglo XXI.

La autora del presente libro invita a cada lector a que pase a
engrosar el grupo de los conspiradores, transmitlendo la informaclón
y Ia energia indispensablos para sobrevivir en una época de acoleración
sin precodentes.
