The Birth of a New Consciousness and the Cycles of Time (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781504975421)

The Birth of a New Consciousness and the Cycles of Time

The book deals with the development of human consciousness and the God-image through human history. We are at the threshold of a transitional period from the Age of Fishes (Pisces) to the Water-Bearer (Aquarius) Age. What is the role of humans in this New Age? What should we expect from this coming New Era? What are its symbols? What is the fate of human spirituality? What will be the new concepts of God and of religion? What will the new the God-image be? What will the role of organized religions be? When does the Water-Carrier Age start?

This book attempts to answer these questions based on well researched sources complemented and endorsed by cosmology, archeology, depth psychology, religion, Near East studies, and mythology, among other scientific disciplines. The book also intends to clarify the epistemological terminology of the concepts "constellations" and "zodiacal ages" as well as the confusion created by some fundamentalist Protestant religious leaders and sensationalistic New Age writers, who have misinterpreted the signs of the transitional period as the end of the world. The truth is that there is no such thing as the end of the world, but the end of one world, the end of the Fishes' Era, and the commencing of a new chapter in human history called the Water-Carrier (Aquarian) dispensation.

A correct comprehension of the shift of cosmic ages is extremely important for humankind. This book empowers humans to be prepared to confront the psychological upheavals that entail the shift of ages; it gives the reader an accurate perspective regarding the planetary transformations that are currently taking place, and offers hope and inspiration as we approach the Golden Age of Water-Bearer.
