Pleiadian Perspectives on Human Evolution

by Barbara Hand Clow (Introduction), Amorah Quan Yin

The Pleiadian Emissaries of Light provide this fascinating chronicle of human spiritual evolution from a galactic perspective. This wider history of our solar system restores the long-forgotten connection of humankind with Venus, Mars, Maldek, and Earth. The truth about our ancient past is uncovered, helping us to remember the experiences that have caused us to function dualistically, and guiding us toward karmic wholeness as unified and divine beings.

[Tina · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book on the channeled history of Venus, Mars, Maldek and Earth. I definitely feel sad about Venus and the end of its story. Maldek's story I was familiar with because of the awesome book Through Alien Eyes which I recommend to readers since it's entirely about Maldek and Earth history, especially teotihuacan and the great pyramids of Egypt.

I gave this book 4 stars because, even though the author did a great job with a detailed history on Venus, Mars and Maldek, the earth history section fell short. She focused on only lemuria. What about Atlantis? Ancient egypt? What's happening on planet earth right now?

This was a fun ride, mostly. It's pretty hard to take seriously as anything but analogy and that's OK!

I read it as a spiritual sci-fi and enjoyed it as such. The Earth stuff was the weakest aspect of the book. The dolphins and merpeople were just super silly in my opinion.

There were no real teachings here. It wasn't particularly profound and I can't say I related to the about the Author section at all.

Overall, a decent dive into one of the weirder new-age sub genres. However, I would absolutely recommend Bringers of the Dawn by Barbara Marciniak for a more enlightening read. That book felt far more genuine and had some great insights.

Let me begin by saying: I love Amorah with all my heart; likewise, I'm eternally grateful for having come across her work. This, and all of her other books, have been a huge spiritual boon-- especially as we try to make sense of the "now" we are living in. In particular, this book stretches one's perspective in time, as she channels Ra in going (almost) all the way back to our Souls' initial physical steps as babies in this Solar system. I finished this book in 3 nights, that's how much I enjoyed it.

For the content alone, I would have given the book a 5 Stars. However, I rate it a 4 due to the underlying sense of misandry that I gleam from Amorah's continual imbalanced emphasis on the negative attributes of the "patriarchs" through each and every planet. Although almost, if not all, of the stories deeply resonate, and I could never accuse Amorah of stretching the truth, I do think that, like many other exponents of New Age ideas (*cough cough* Ms. Hand Clow *cough cough*), there definitely is a bias in the perspective she presents. This bias (by women, for women) has been well-documented in sociological research as it pertains to the gender imbalance in adherence and participation within New Age circles, and it is present in this text.

The book is meant as a "look into the mirror of the past" through which we can begin to identify the original source of many of our own subconscious biases. And it has done just that for me, very much so. Perhaps it is my own POV as a current Earthly male (or as a former Patriarchal Martian?) which makes me more susceptible to the aforementioned bias. Perhaps the bias is really there to be noticed by all regardless of gender.

Anyway, this is just my personal opinion/review of the book, and I would hope nobody gets discouraged to not read it. Instead, I hope more people read it and check to see if my POV has or has not any substance.

This is a great reference on understanding what it means to be intergalactic.

The stories were okay, but tended to move fairly slowly. I agreed with some of the teachings, like removing vices, greed, vanity, and all those other things that can make life on this planet rather unpleasant. Others, like the idea that the personality is an illusion that needs to be wiped out, I strongly disagreed with. I feel that part of being a soul is that we each have a unique personality which is part of our soul, just as there are varying shades of every color on the color wheel.

Though I'm not usually a fan of SciFi or even fantasy, I found this book interesting in the depth the writer uses to express her thoughts.
