It's 1976, and Janet Tanhurst is a teenager who feels stifled by
life with her strict mother, and the authoritarian church she must
attend. 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 UFOs a
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 science promoting 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." Following movement leaders
including Shirley MacLaine and Marianne Williamson, studying
enigmatic teachers like G.I. 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."
