Marilyn Ferguson introduces us to the basic beliefs and strategies of the New Age movement. She writes that an “irrevocable shift” is overtaking us. It is not a new system but a new mind. There is an underground movement that is changing society based on an “enlarged concept of human potential … a transformation of personal consciousness” (The Aquarian Conspiracy [Los Angeles: Tarcher, 1980] p. 23). Her book, written in 1980, was a remarkably accurate account of what would take place in the next decade.
