The Coming of a New Millennium [Paperback]

Heidi Neale (Author), Nick Manolukas (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1998

This story revives the ancient Minoan culture which, in The Chalice and the Blade, Riane Eisler refers to as the last of the partnership societies that once flourished around the globe. The authors bring the Minoans to life in a fun, near-future adventure, which weaves together archeology, Neolithic studies, comparative mythology and religion, feminine spirituality, history and CHAOS theory.

From the Publisher

We're in the midst of the millennium muck -- it's permeating the media, stifling our entertainment options and drowning us in doom and despair. While this is perfectly predictable, given the long-standing expectation of Armageddon, what we need now more than ever is an optimistic, hopeful vision of the future. The Coming of a New Millennium embodies this vision, and brings it to a wide audience.

From the Author

We'll never forget our first glimpse of the Minoan civilization at the Heraklion Archeological Museum on the Greek island of Crete. From the moment we entered the great hall of the frescoes, we were captivated by these beautiful, enigmatic people who lived so long ago. Despite conventional explanations about the Minoans' nature, it was clear to us that this culture was radically different from those which subsequently arose. There were no depictions of violence or warfare in their art, and their temple complex had no military fortifications. Here was a technologically advanced civilization who lived in peace and partnership, 3,600 years ago! We believe the Minoan civilization can be a model for the type of society we humans are capable of creating once again.

WOW! There are not words to express the deep emotions of love, hope and joyfull tears I experienced on practically every page.

I read alot of books, all with profound spiritual teachings, and while all are good there are only a few that are truly wonderful.

"The coming of the New Millennium" is truly wonderful.

I work in a bookstore and was re-shelving the books in our used books section when I came upon this one, which I purchased. When I began reading, I just couldn't put it down, its message is so gently compelling and personally electrifying. Now I'm here buying copies for my sister and extended family to begin the Love revolution I'd already begun on my own many years ago.
