[net.books] The Aquarian Conspiracy by Marilyn Ferguson.

dave@teldata.UUCP (DAVID A. HEPPNER) (07/13/84)

This is in response to a question  about  the  book  called  the  "Aquarian
Conspiracy"  by Marilyn Ferguson.  The only reference I have to the book is
through a book I have read call "The Hidden  Dangers  of  the  Rainbow"  by
Constance  Cumbey.  It  seems  that  there  is  a  move  (call  the New Age
Movement) to form a "New World Order".  From what I can tell  the  movement
wants to suppress all forms of relegion except theirs.  Another book on the
subject is by Dave Hunt call "Peace, Prosperity, and the coming Holocaust".
Both of the Books talk about this New Age movement.

If you haven't read "The Aquarian Conspiracy," then please refrain from
unwittingly making a fool of yourself.  I don't mean to insult you, but
I have become very frustrated by people hearing second-hand, and
(amazingly) believing, that there is something "anti-religious" or
something about the Aquarian Conspiracy or the New Age Movement.  

Have you read "The Aquarian Conspiracy?"
Do you know anyone involved in this "movement?"
Do you know if you know any such people?

PS  I read in a book where Jews use the blood of Christian children to
make matzos.

Really, now.

I defy you to show Marilyn Ferguson calling for the suppression of any religion.
I know it's a radical idea, but have you thought of READING The Aquarian
Conspiracy?

The New Age movement is rather fuzzy and ill-defined; it includes proponents of
ideas I find silly (e. g.  astrology and numerology) and of ideas and techniques
I find helpful (e. g. meditation, hugging, etc.).

I can't imagine New Ageism being threatening to anyone except perhaps a
fundamentalist of some sort.  It seems to me an extremely tolerant sort of
movement.  Relax, Dave.
