This is a book I would need to read several times or more to fully comprehend, if full comprehension is even possible at my level of consciousness. Nov 17, Lucy rated it really liked it. I've heard of Barbara Hand Clow's books for some time and so I read the Mind Chronicles because of my interest of past life regression. May 18, Nicholas Brink rated it it was amazing. This journey has brought her insight into her deepest self, a journey that has taken her beyond the fears and limitations incurred in past lives, bringing her to a new level of freedom, freedom that has opened her to new powers in her ability to see and experience the world of the New Age.

Her journey takes on dreamlike qualities that she refers to as Dreamtime. These Dreamtime experiences take her through three evolving stages of consciousness. The first stage, during the time of the hunter-gatherers, connects her with the Mother Earth Goddess and brings her the magical love and nurturance of the Great Mother. Next comes the time of rational consciousness, the patriarchal time of seeking power through control, judgment, fear, abuse and violence, a time when the church fathers proclaimed what others were to believe and do in life.

As this oppressive era now passes into the third era, Barbara in her past life experiences begins to realize that she needs to be in control of her life and make her own decisions. With this realization she begins to rebel against this patriarchal control, but the fear and anger instilled during the second era initially blocked the opening to her sought-after freedom. As she succeeds in overcoming this fear and disassociates from her anger she finds freedom, freedom that opens her to new powers of seeing and ways of experiencing the world and universe.

With this new way of seeing we can return and again learn to resonate with the living Earth, our Mother Goddess. Only by regaining this connection that was the way of life during the first era of hunting and gathering can the human species survive and live in harmony and peace with all life on Earth. These Dreamtime experiences can be read at many different levels and other readers will likely find other themes in her journey that personally resonates with them. How I describe her journey is how it was personally relevant to me.

This book is a must read for those who seek relevance in their lives. Through it we can find the freedom that provides us with balance between our anima and animus and provides us with direction in our own personal journeys into the New Age. May 26, Nora rated it really liked it. The way she describes everything creates such vivid images and really envelops you in the whole book.

Wendy Sears rated it really liked it Jun 29, Breezze rated it it was amazing Feb 08, Erkala takes them to her rocky shoreline home, Where she tells them of how her mother died after they were driven out to sea in a storm and she made her own way in the world, even moving in with a family of rats. Erkala asks to join them. The group then journeys on and meets up with a much larger flock of young crows in need of guidance. Kyp manages to guide nearly all of them to safety when they are attacked by humans with guns, thanks to one of Kwaku's cryptic visions.

However, they then only narrowly escape once more when they are confronted by Kuper, now the Chooser for an enormous flock of disciples who believe his words of hatred towards the humans and follow him into the human cities to scavenge, believing that the Maker wants them to survive because they are the greatest of all creatures, and also wants them to change much of their old ways.

They then journey to a large human city New York City , although the crow's do not recognize it by that name. After living in Central Park for weeks, they finally find Kym in a building caged up with many other birds. The humans are taking their blood, and Kym suspects it has something to do with fighting the plague. Despite her interest in the humans, Kym wants to be freed. Erkala enlists the aid of the rats, despite the laws forbidding crows to go underground.

Together, Kyp, Kwaku, Erkala, and Katakata journey up into the building to free Kym and the other birds. However, the building catches on fire at that moment. Kwaku manages to guide nearly everybody to freedom and safety, but he himself is engulfed by the flames and perishes. Katakata later has a dream in which he is seated in a tree with Kwaku, and Kwaku gives him and Kyp some final guidance before his spirit departs forever. When he recovers from the ordeal inside the burning building, Kyp leads the flock away from the human city in search of a land where they can live in peace and safety.

The beginning of the third book starts out just a small while after the end of the second book. All of the non-crows released from human confinement have left with the exception of a single magpie , and those that are crows have joined Kyp's flock. They travel together without much difficulty for a while, although there is one crow named Kryk who eats little, nests away from the rest of the flock, and flies at the end. The magpie finds her roost and, before she leaves, tells the flock, in crow, that the Collection has doubled in size since they last saw the flock of crows.

One night when they are resting, an owl comes along. Kyp tells them to stick close to the tree, but some of them fly out and are attacked by the owl. Among those is Kaf, leaving Kyf the only living member of her family. When flying away along the coast, they become hungry because there is little they can eat. They find a loading dock with tons of fish, and Kryk creates the sound of a police siren. The humans run away distracted and the crows gather to eat fish. Katakata finds that a human dropped one of their rings and wears it like a necklace. Although it slows him down and occasionally chokes him when he perches, he does not drop it.

When the Collection comes looking for them, Kyp's flock realizes that the magpie was right, and now there are a hundred thousand crows in the Collection. They manage to avoid him by leading the Collection away from the majority of crows, but Kyp decides that they need to fly more carefully now, so they will follow cars at night to make sure that they cannot be seen by anybody else. While they are doing this nocturnal behavior, when they come to perch during the day they find that there is an elderly crow by the name of Kuru who was trapped under a branch.

He had just fought off three of the Collection and was almost dead. Since he was an elder and therefore of the highest respect and knowledge, Kyp invited him to fly with them. However, once flying with them he took to angering the crows by telling them that they are useless and taking over Kyp's control as Chooser. Right before they are about to get rid of Kuru, Kyp decides that they cannot keep running from the Collection; they will need to band together more crows and fight back.

Kuru says that the Urkana, a massive band of a million crows, is real and that he visited them once, so he leads them to the Urkana. Once at the Urkana, Kryk tells Kym that when he was young, he was captured by a human. That human taught him to call for help on command. When he called for help, he got food. Eventually he was put on a leash and called for help. When the crows would answer his call, the human would shoot them. Kym tells him that sometime he's got to tell the rest of the flock about this, and he begrudgingly agrees.

Soon the Collection come with the same intention: They both tell the Urkana why their flock should be picked, and before the assembly is to begin, where the elders will decide who they will join, Ur-Ryk, an Urkana crow, spots Kryk and starts attacking him. Ur-Ryk tells the Urkana about what Kryk did, and Kryk's punishment is Banishment from all three flocks forever.

When the assembly begins, one of the elders gives his reasons for joining the Collection, which angers Kuru into unleashing a powerful speech that postpones the rest of the assembly. The next morning Kuru is found dead. The crows think it is a variety of reasons from the cold giving him hypothermia to his heart giving out after the speech, but Kyp, Kym, Kyf, Kata, and Erkala figure out that in the middle of the night, Kuper killed Kuru and made it look like he was killed of natural causes.

They discuss this behind an owl's nest, and Kyup, a scout of the Collection, tries to listen in but is killed by the owl. Two mornings after, the assembly begins again, and when a very elderly crow gives his reasons for joining the Collection, Kyp becomes as angered as Kuru, but instead of giving a speech, he says that he is taking the flock elsewhere and they will never become a part of the Collection. This sends Kuper into a rage and he starts fighting Kyp. With each attack the Urkana draws away from the Collection.

Kyp never gets hurt because of his flying agility. One move he performs with grace, but he does not see a car coming and gets hit. Afterwards, Erkala requests that she leave the flock. The next night when Katakata is walking alone, he throws the ring off of his shoulders. There's also one by Shaun Hutson, if you're interested - however I don't know what the difference is between the two. What I loved about this book is that, even though it's only pages, I found it to be a very dense pages. There's so much description in it, and there's also more of an insight into the characters, that didn't come across as so in the movie.

Rather than just being a bare bones cash-in, like so many novelizations can be, this is a wonder to read, and makes me interested in watching all the Terminator films again - back to back. That is a particular one that stands out for me, the scene where I knew that this novelization was going to be one of the best.

Especially ones where we see what is going on in the characters heads, which cannot come across in the film. There's more of an insight into the mind of Dr Silberman, as well as an insider's account of when the Terminator first walks into the bar. There's also more about what makes Miles Dyson tick, and his home life as well. There is also an extra bit, which wasn't in the second film but was included in the third film.

Normally, most novelizations are lifted straight from the screenplay, without any additional extras, and you can normally zip through them in hours, rather than days, particularly if you know the movie well. I was expecting to read this in a couple of hours, but instead it took me a little over 48 hours, and I found myself completely sucked into the world of Sarah and John Connor and the Terminator.

I almost wish I had read them in order now, rather than reading the second one, simply because I hadn't bought the first one yet. I'm also surprised there was only one other review for this - it definitely deserves many, many more 5-star reviews, and well done to Randall Frakes, for turning what I was expecting to be a simplistic book, into a mind blowing version of an equally brilliant film. Sep 24, Holli rated it really liked it Shelves: A good sequel and also another good addition with the extra story stuff adding to what the movie introduced.

I like this book series, as well as the movie series itself including Genisys and look forward to reading the others in this series. I'm curious to see what the authors do with this world and its characters. And to find out what else will be added to an interesting world and universe. I read this book after I had seen the movie. The book expands on a lot of the things in the movie.

Things in the movie that didn't seem like it meant much. The ending is different than the movie.

I like the ending in the book much better. It seems more touching an believable.

Aug 24, Amar Pai rated it liked it. I enjoyed it, but probably cos I've seen the movie. It's really just the movie in book form. Michael rated it it was ok Jan 04, Great for terminator 2 fans. At times seems to be line-for-line from the movie, but also adds depth to various characters and is great for exploring their minds.
