The Coming of a New Millennium
by Heidi Neale ,Nick Manolukas
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.

The Insect-Populated Mind: How Insects Have Influenced the Evolution of Consciousness
"In this book author David Spooner proposes a close connection between aspects of insect evolution and the human intellect. By examining seemingly disparate subjects - entomology, language history, genetics, literature and music - Spooner shows how such a synthesis is possible. Once this fusion is achieved, the human species can be seen as connected not just to the great apes, but also via consciousness to metamorphic insects. The book also presents aguments on the roots and nature of the mind in the work of Daniel Dennett and Terrence Deacon."

The Butterfly: A Symbol of Conscious Evolution by C. Daly King
Out-of-print for over half a century, this remarkable book, originally published in 1927, is one of the earliest about the Gurdjieff ideas. The historic significance of this book is unique among the now-abundant writings about Gurdjieff. Daly King presents a poetic metaphor of stunning intensity -- the metamorphosis of the butterfly from the worm.The transformation for people, is one that is produced by intentional, conscious effort. This effort is the major theme of his book. In Greek mythology, Psyche, the butterfly, represented the Soul. King suggests that this symbol derived from esoteric knowledge of an even more ancient culture and contains vital clues for the twentieth century.
