If you read Jackie Woods' "Journey to Ultimate Spirituality," works by Eckhart Tolle, Carolyn Myss, James Redfield or Christiane Northrup's "Womens' Bodies, Women's Wisdom," you will find lots to keep you engrossed in this book. It is a compelling chronicle of the evolution of our planet from primarily a matriarchal society to its current patriarchal position. Carmen Boulter does an outstanding job of weaving together her research on the beliefs of ancient civilizations, mythology and modern day dyanmics to describe the ways in which we can reclaim our whole selves. Her treatment of the Archetypes revealed the source of many present day religious and cultural beliefs related to women and the expression of aspects of our feminitiy. Her presentation of the Angels expands our understanding of the powers that exist beyond this realm that are waiting to support us when we ask for their help in our journey to purity.
I was attracted to this book because my expression has become off balance--lacking depth in my creativity, nurturing, awareness of greater possibilities, and a geniune regard for the sacredness of the female. I enjoyed this book because it supported my quest to rejoin the male aspects of myself with my female. It also reinforced the teachings of many present day spiritual teachers with guidance on how to connect with the Higher Self to achieve Oneness and re-establish ourselves as beings of a higher consciousness.
Thank you, Carmen.
