Compiled from more than four hundred hours of channeling by Barbara Marciniak, Bringers of the Dawn imparts to us the wisdom of the Pleiadians, a group of enlightened beings who have come to Earth to help us discover how to reach a new stage of evolution. Master storytellers and humorists, they advise us to become media free, to work in teams, and to eliminate the words "should" and "try" from our vocabularies. We learn how to go beyond fear, how the original human was a magnificent being with twelve strands of DNA and twelve chakra centers, and who our "gods" are. Startling, intense, intelligent, and controversial, these teachings offer essential reading for anyone questioning their existence on this planet and the direction of our collective conscious--and unconscious. By remembering that we are Family of Light, that we share an ancient ancestry with the universe around us, we become "bringers of the dawn," consciously creating a new reality, a new Earth.

"Mind over matter...the natural over the artificial... these were the unspoken mantras of the proponents of New Thought, the mystical movement at the turn of the 20th century.... One of the most influential thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy promises here, in this 1909 book, to show the reader how to 'spread the glad tidings of Health and Strength' by using the body's Prana, or Vital Force; by direct control of the body's cells via the mind, or mental healing; and by calling the light of 'higher thought' down on the body, or spiritual healing"--Dust jacket.
