New Age and Armageddon

Fülszöveg

An original publication from The Women's Press
Will our Earth survive through the millennium? IsJt already so choked, polluted and abused that we can look forward only to disaster in the so-called New, Age? Or will it be able to renew and transform itself once more?
Monica Sjoo believes that it is time that we paid attention not only to the approaching Armageddon, but to the New Age prophets who promise a solution. For the New Age movement, she finds, despite its lip service to the healing" of Gaia, is essentially a patriarchal movement and thus part of the problem, and not the solution
In this coritroversial and inspiring book, the author argues that nothing but a total rejection of the values of patriarchy can change us now. And she shows how New Age fixations on the pursuit of individual nirvana, and beliefs in 'creating our own reality' at'the expense of communal values, are not merely apolitical. They may sabotage altogether our efforts to trarvsform the future.
