Once out of high school, however, Janet is initiated into a fascinating new world of Astrology, Tarot cards, and Spirit Mediums. Next, she encounters the mysterious world of UFOsa bewildering and sometimes frightening realm encompassing ancient astronauts, alien abductions, and shadowy government conspiracies. As the 1980s arrive, the Christian-dominated Piscean Age seems to be giving way to a long-anticipated "Aquarian Age," with its hope for a coming revolution in higher consciousness. There are new paradigms in philosophy and sciencepromoting a holographic conception of the universe as engaged in a "Cosmic Dance"along with the emergence of an introspective type of instrumental music known as "New Age."With the help of bookstore owner Whisper Wynn, Janet investigates subjects such as reincarnation, quartz crystals, chakras and the human aura, in addition to an exciting new form of spiritual teaching called "channeling."

Gurdjieff and Carlos Castaneda, and inspired by medical doctors such as Deepak Chopra and Andrew Weil, she learns about Alternative Medicine and Holistic Health, as well as traditional health practices from China, Japan, and India. She assimilates wisdom from the ancient Celts along with rituals from contemporary Goddess worshippers, in formulating her own unique concept of the Divine that is within us all.Whether she's encountering opposition from skeptics or religious fundamentalists, visiting the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh's ashram, participating in the 1987 Harmonic Convergence, or attending the Roswell UFO 50th Anniversary celebration, Janet strives to separate genuine, cutting-edge thinkers from bogus "avatars" and outright frauds, even as she must deal with change and tragedy in her personal life.Join a fascinating cast (some of whom previously appeared in the author's Beyond Heaven and Earth) on a journey that may very well expand your own "higher consciousness."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
