Challenging and inspiring...,

This review is from: Return of the Dark/Light Mother or New Age Armageddon?: Towards a Feminist Vision of the Future (Paperback)
If spirituality is important to you and you are going to read one book in your life read this. Monica Sjoo, in her inimitable and indominatable style, has given us an antidote to all the wishy washy new agey clap trap that so many of us seem happy to accept. She details the history of the New Age, where many of its ideas have come from, and how it shores up, rather than being an alternative to, patriarchal monotheistic religion. She compares this with the religion of the Goddess, which is one of the Earth and of depth and passion.
If you care about the Divine Feminine, if you care about the future of our beautiful planet, if you care about life, then read this book. I have never been the same since!

Most Important Book To Spiritual and socialistic seekers,
This review is from: Return of the Dark/Light Mother or New Age Armageddon?: Towards a Feminist Vision of the Future (Paperback)
I had read David Icke , became aware of new world order and other ghastly things. had then settled for the love and light of our new age and still felt something wasnt right untill i found this book. I was blessed on a few ocassions to meet monica herself too. This book takes us to the next step in understanding why something is really wrong with this world and what we can personally do about it. Why men are what they have become and how women can become empowerred again.
After reading this book i realised that there is a big conspiracy against this kind of thinking and little on the net about it. Little videos and little websites. I have started to unravel parts of me and see society ina new way too . I recommend this book all the time, yet few read it because of its tittle, few can face there own dark. just buy it and read it.

Important book,
By Molly Harris - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Return of the Dark/Light Mother or New Age Armageddon?: Towards a Feminist Vision of the Future (Paperback)
This is a great and necessary book. I challenge anyone who is interested in New Age philosophies to read this. Though there are some truths and helpful practices in the New Age movement, much is also left out and ignored. There is a lot use of "spirituality" to avoid the realities of our very necessary healthy human emotions and the realities of the world. There is often a bypassing of Life, and many people have been harmed by this. As humans we NEED our emotions, the pleasant and the unpleasant, to help us navigate life. Fear keeps us safe, anger helps us to know when our boundaries are being crossed, sadness tells us when we are being hurt. These are all necessary and healthy, just as much as "joy" and "peace" are. Have you ever known anyone who claims to only feel joy? They are as difficult to be around as someone who is always sad. One wonders what they are hiding in their shadow, because the other emotions have to be there, since they are human.
Monica tells her own story of her and her son's interest in New Age practices, and the reality of what ensued. She also does a huge amount of research in trying to sort through and understand many, many popular and spiritual practices and beliefs and their history. The history of the obsession with "white light," with white being goodness and darkness being undesirable is very, very interesting. Anyone who has tried to use New Age practices after a real trauma, or when memories of the trauma continue to surface, and then not known how to deal with the emotions which refuse to be "let go" will relate to this. Monica's spirituality is the spirituality of returning to Goddess, but anyone can relate to most of this book. |
