Awakening the Planetary Mind

In Awakening the Planetary Mind, Barbara Hand Clow tells the story of who we really are and how we got here. Never before has there been a telling of history from such an experiential point of view so pertinent that it ties our global, present-day conscious existence with all its political, academic, and religious dogmas to a great catastrophe of our remote past and an ecological Golden Age that existed before; a truly remarkable accomplishment and fascinating book. I couldnt put it down. * Edward F. Malkowski, author of Ancient Egypt 39,000 BCE * Between lines of text exists an unseen world. Barbara Hand Clow, with her inimitable ability, peered into this world with laserlike vision and has thrust it before us in a way that cannot be ignored. As an engineer who is grounded in three-dimensional reality, Awakening the Planetary Mind reads between my lines with insight and clarity. * Christopher Dunn, author of The Giza Power Plant * Grandmother Sky (Barbara Hand Clow) has captured the essence of Mother Earth as a living energy within the Universal Circle in Awakening the Planetary Mind. The book reveals some universal dynamics that help us understand our connection to the past here on Turtle Island. We can truly learn from the past that we have the ability to change and to begin again. * J. T. Garrett, Ed.D., M.P.H., member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee from North Carolina and author * Clows book is mind-expanding, provocative, hopeful, hard-to-put-down, and pertinent as we confront the many crises of today. * Spirituality-and-Religion.com, October 2011 * Clow is an active agent for positive change, and her last chapter on Goddess Alchemy presents a path for planetary awakening. * Dell Horoscope * Compulsive, compelling, and authoritative. An important addition to our understanding of ancient catastrophes and their impact on human consciousness. Essential reading for the alternative prehistorian. * Andrew Collins, author of Gateway to Atlantis and From the Ashes of Angels * It takes a mind versed in interdisciplinary studies to fully understand, integrate, reassemble, and then accurately teach this complex subject. Barbara has that kind of mind. And her detective work is conveyed admirably. * Freddy Silva, researcher, photographer, and author of Common Wealth * In Awakening the Planetary Mind, Barbara Hand Clow, with a perceptive voice, invites us to explore the unknown crevices of the past through her uncommon spiritual eye. * Rand Flem-Ath, author of When the Sky Fell * I find this book mind-expanding, provocative, and offering an important contribution to our self-understanding as a species, especially as we face important decisions in these critical times. * Matthew Fox, author of Original Blessing *
