(PRWEB) October 19, 2005 -- In the quarter century since Marilyn Ferguson's Aquarian Conspiracy defined, pulled into focus, then accelerated the transformational sift in consciousness known as the human potential movement, much has changed. Read all about it in Aquarius Now.

"You can certainly make the case that we're devolving, that it may already be too late to save the rain forests, let alone the planet. But you can also see the wars and scandals and crises in a different light. In the most important areas, as individuals and countries, we don't change our behavior until we have our backs to the wall. So, the bad news is potentially the good news - if we had to hit bottom, as they say, surely we're almost there. Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. The recent floods are a case in point, terrible in terms of human tragedy but deeply moving and hopeful in terms of human kindness." ~Marilyn Ferguson

What Thomas Paine did for the American Revolution with the publication of Common Sense, Marilyn Ferguson does for the transpersonal revolution with the publication of Aquarius Now (Weiser Books, November 2005), an astonishing call to internal arms.

As one of the preeminent thinkers, gatherers, synthesizers and interpreters of research on all the cutting fields of human consciousness, Marilyn Ferguson’s The Aquarian Conspiracy, published in 1980, has sold 2.5 million copies and has been continuously in print. The book was hailed as the “handbook of the New Age,” by USA Today and is widely regarded as one of the most important books of the twentieth century as the harbinger of a new segment of society stemming from the “vastly enlarged concept of human potential.”

Before there were Cultural Creatives and Influencers, before there were Spiriteers, before there was What the Bleep Do We Know?!, there were the Aquarian Conspirators, pioneers of social transformation. 25 years later, Ferguson’s original charge still resonates regardless of the “name” associated with her audience – they are still philosophically the same as those who came before.

As she reexamines the paradigm shift, she dares to ask the question in Aquarius Now, “Can we change?” and concludes that we can and we must change. The Age of Aquarius will occur when we want it to occur. Now, more than ever, the world needs what Ferguson describes in her epochal book as “a common ground/common sense.” She packs a big punch, but anyone thinking it is just another social or political rant, will be surprised when Ferguson points out that there is no “they,” instead, we are the “they,” and, as such, we can change.

“Shall we linger to reminisce about the shared pain and injustice, or shall we leave now, taking only a few souvenirs to remind us of the price of habit? There is a better place, the hard but joyful work beyond struggle, beyond the shadow of a doubt. It is our real home, the long-remembered future when everything worked and things made sense.”

Marilyn Ferguson published Brain/Mind Bulletin from 1975-1995. Her work not only culled the best of the new consciousness movement and put the word out, but also offered commentary and insight that helped launch a whole new way of looking at ourselves and the world we live in. She published the bestselling The Aquarian Conspiracy in 1980, which was voted the most important new age book of the 1980s and has remained in print continuously for 25 years.
