About Awakening the
Planetary Mind
Completing our conscious evolution by releasing our
collective fear of catastrophes.
• Explains how
we are on the cusp of an era of incredible creative growth
• Shows how we
are about to overcome the collective fear caused by ancient
catastrophes as we awaken to the memories of our lost
prehistory
• Examines
legendary cataclysms and scientific evidence of a highly advanced
global culture that disappeared 11,500 years ago
In this
completely revised and expanded edition of Catastrophobia,
bestselling author Barbara Hand Clow explains how we are on the
cusp of an age of incredible creative growth made possible by
restoring our lost prehistory. Examining legendary cataclysms--such
as the fall of Atlantis and the biblical Flood--and the mounting
geological and archaeological evidence that many of these mythic
catastrophes were actual events, she reveals the existence of a
highly advanced global maritime culture that disappeared amid great
earth changes and rising seas 14,000 to 11,500 years ago, nearly
causing our species’ extinction and leaving humanity’s collective
psyche deeply scarred.
Tracing
humanity’s reemergence after these prehistoric catastrophes, Clow
explains how these events in the deep past influence our
consciousness today. Guided by Carl Johan Calleman’s analysis of
the Mayan Calendar, she reveals that as the Earth’s 26,000-year
precessional cycle shifts, our evolution is accelerating to prepare
us for a new age of harmony and peace. She explains how we are
beginning a collective healing as ancient memories of prehistory
awaken in our minds and release our unprocessed fear. Passed from
generation to generation, this fear has been responsible for our
constant expectations of apocalypse. She shows that by remembering
and moving beyond the trauma of our long lost past, we bring the
era of cataclysms to an end and cross the threshold into a time of
extraordinary creative activity.

Praise for
Awakening the Planetary Mind
“In Awakening
the Planetary Mind, Barbara Hand Clow tells the story of who we
really are and how we got here. Never before has there been a
telling of history from such an experiential point of view so
pertinent that it ties our global, present-day conscious existence
with all its political, academic, and religious dogmas to a great
catastrophe of our remote past and an ecological Golden Age that
existed before; a truly remarkable accomplishment and fascinating
book. I couldn’t put it down.”
Edward F.
Malkowski, author of Ancient Egypt 39,000 BCE

prehistorian.”

Angels

“Between lines
of text exists an unseen world. Barbara Hand Clow, with her
inimitable ability, peered into this world with laserlike vision
and has thrust it before us in a way that cannot be ignored. As an
engineer who is grounded in three-dimensional reality, Awakening
the Planetary Mind reads between my lines with insight and
clarity.”

Dunn, author of The Giza Power Plant

“It takes a
mind versed in interdisciplinary studies to fully understand,
integrate, reassemble, and then accurately teach this complex
subject. Barbara has that kind of mind. And her detective work is
conveyed admirably.”

“Grandmother
Sky (Barbara Hand Clow) has captured the essence of Mother Earth as
a living energy within the Universal Circle in Awakening the
Planetary Mind. The book reveals some universal dynamics that help
us understand our connection to the past here on Turtle Island. We
can truly learn from the past that we have the ability to change
and to begin again.”
J. T. Garrett,

Carolina and author of The Cherokee Herbal and Meditations with the

pertinent as we confront the many crises of today.”
