(For followers of Gary Bell; SpaceMan: dig the Triquetra motif!).

(1) PDF, 435 pages, searchable text under page image, 22.7MB. Not previously released.

(2) PDF 47 pages, OCR or oem only, "The Aquarian Conspiracy: Fact or Fiction?" Author stated only as "Price". Gives overview of the origins of the Ferguson book and the driving forces behind the New Age movement including Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence, Arnold Toynbee, H.G. Wells, etc etc.

Two points of note here: (i) 'The neutrality of this article is disputed.' (Um isn't that a given?) and (ii) it says she was born Marilyn Louise Grasso, which may be material, given the occular misalignment evident in her photo on that page...

'Ferguson wrote her manifesto under the direction of Willis Harman, social policy director of the Stanford Research Institute, as a popular version of a May 1974 policy study on how to transform the United States into Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.'

I've lately been digging into this New Age stuff and find this book is a major work from the library of New Age / New World Order / another-head-of-the-Hydra literature. It is a sort of companion volume to Vera Stanley Alder's "The Initiation of the World" (1939) http://tracker.concen.org/torrents-details.php?id=19390
The same comments I appended to the Alder torrent apply here.

When doing the book scan I found this (cheesy) documentary on New Age thinking: "The New Age - Pathway to Paradise?" WCFC TV Chicago /TV-38 Investigative Report (1983) which mentions it in a few places,

Following times approximate:
@6:58mins: headband interviewee mentions the book.
@37:18mins presenter mentions the book.
@1:07hr: Benjamin Creme and the Maitreya 'arrival'. (Is Creme 'Kremm'?).
@1:19hr: Constance Cumbey mentions the Chapter: "Spiritual Adventure: Connection to the Source"; also remarks concerning Benjamin Creme and his book "The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom". She refers to the book "Externalisation of the Hierarchy" by Alice Ann Bailey (written 1919-1949) - Cumbey claims it is anti-Semitic and anti-Christian.
@1:23 minutes: Sylvia Beadleston talks about Rosicrucians and occult symbolism which inspired her research, and @1:33hr she addresses (weakly) the question 'What's wrong with a one world government, one world court system etc?'
@1:35hr: Buckminster Fuller giving a speech: "One World or Nobody".
@1:38: Cumbey mentions the book by Jean-Michel Angebert: "The Occult and the Third Reich". She claims the New Age Movement is identical to the Nazi Third Reich:
--same cosmology,
--same belief in masters of Shambala, development of an Aryan Super Race (see also Vera Stanley Alder above) and
--they both talk about the need for a final solution to 'the Jewish problem'.

She cites Alice Bailey's "Externalisation of the Hierarchy" as stating the 'Jewish problem' is the world's 'leading racial problem'. The 3 goals of the New Age Christ are:
(i) to restructure Christianity;
(ii) to abolish orthodox Judaism; and
(iii) to give us new revelation.

Another book recommended by Creme she mentions is "The Rays and the Initiations", by Alice A. Bailey - which predicts the new Christ will not be Jewish...

So - something for everyone there! But back to the book:
