ARE YOU READY TO MOVE BEYOND THE PATRIARCHY? Just below the surface of our modern world lurks a hidden energy structure created purposely, during the 5,000-year Patriarchy, to limit the consciousness of each and every human being. When three women trained in the mystical arts unite to take this structure apart, they are catapulted into the corridors of power, the recesses of their own minds, and the expanding consciousness of a new age. Unplugging the Patriarchy reveals an x-ray view of the world in which we live. It is a testament to feminine power, service, and love - an unforgettable novel that will inspire you to unplug the Patriarchy within yourself.
Definitely worth a read - especially MEN. Whilst it is a fictional book the teacher quotes are real gems. You don't create words of pure wisdom like that without real understanding - of consciousness, life and all its workings.
The most important point being men are here to learn about their use of power. That lesson humbled me and stopped me in my tracks - a very powerful focusing statement. Men abused that power over millennia and patriarchy rules our world and us as men. Patriarchy influences men, it and we impact women's liberty, and it rules business, religion, politics and drives male aggression.
If Lucia and her friends did this - then i salute you 3 brave women and your teacher. Thank you for your efforts. You helped me open my own door of inner and outer discovery in this aspect of my life.
Don't just stop with the book - check out Lucia's website. There's plenty of good stuff there too :)
YESYESYES. This, over here, is one of my favourite books of all times. Even though a friend gave it to me, I couldn't stop until I finished it (not to mention, I even got a copy for myself). Ladies, you need one too.
Lucia Rene’ describes her book as “part truth, part fiction”. The mysticism part was fascinating, but the overall tone just felt off. Rene’ works with two fellow mystics to heal the earth from years of abuse by our male counterparts. One of the stranger parts of the story was when their spiritual teacher suggests they use the Tolkien Lord of the Rings Trilogy as a spiritual guide. They make the correlation of seven rings to seven human chakras/earth locations. Interesting.
1. Crown Chakra – Mt. Kailas 2. Third Eye Chakra – Oblong Pacific Rim locations 3. Throat Chakra – Circular East Coast/London locations 4. Heart Chakra – Flower petal points around the glove 5. Navel Chakra – Oblong South Africa/Egypt/Jerusalem locations 6. Second Chakra – Ayer’s Rock 7. Root Chakra – Machu Picchu
The overall feeling of the book was how negative everything is, and how bad we’ve let it get. While I agree on some points, it just didn’t strike a chord with me. I don’t believe that our world is wrong, I believe it is exactly where it should be for our spiritual development. I was reminded of a quote by Buechner that says, “Here is the world, beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don’t be afraid”. We’ve come so far, and we have so much further to go.
This title came to me highly recommended but it was a case of wrong place and wrong time for our relationship. I just could not engage. The story was fine, the thesis of patriarchal dominance was fine but the whole secret society/conspiracy theory aspect lost me.
