"Starseed Transmissions"

The text of Starseed Transmissions comes from a book of the same name.
Begins at the upper left corner of the canvas, working its way around the edges inward
 

Earlier publications of the book credit Ken Carey as author, but other editions attribute the content as written by some sentient being from some other planet.

On an Amazon page, Carey says this:

  "The communications that are presented in this book seem to have been transmitted neurobiologically. As I communed with these spatial intelligences our biogravitational fields seemed to merge, our awarenesses blend, and my nervous system seemed ti become available to them as a channel for communication. 
During our interviews, I would perceive reality, not only through my own perceptual mechanism but through theirs as well. The resulting synthesis provided for a relatively accurate approximation in human language of the awareness they brought. 
At times I considered these extraterrestrial, at other times angelic, 
Occasionally, I thought of the entities as informational cells within a Galactic organism of some sort. 
Towards the end of the transmissions, other more mythical perspectives emerge. 
Their purpose in sending these messages has not been to teach us of  themselves, but to teach us of our own nature and purpose upon this third planet from the star we call Sun."

A PERSONAL MANIFESTO


A PERSONAL MANIFESTO

It is not my goal to “convert” someone to my point of view. .. though I do admit I want to get people thinking more than they (we?) have become accustomed to not thinking.

I take pleasure in socializing – and becoming better acquainted with – people who maintain opinions and beliefs both close – and wildly divergent – from my own.

Society does not gain by striving to be a monoculture.  It loses.

We all need one another mainly because we are here together. You may be skilled at repairing my car; I may have carpentry or analytical skills that you lack.

The lady down the road is a superb gardener; her brother amazingly adept at repairing appliances.
Your cousin knows her way around the hard drive of a computer, while my distant great aunt can cure many ailments using herbal medicine and reiki. 

Still others know ground water geology and dowsing, how to maintain generators, mill and plane wood boards. And there are those who can teach – or identify flora, fauna and minerals – and how to put them to good use.

Let us not forget the storytellers, scribes and mystics amongst us either.

We must help one another because it is practical. It is also humane and sensible.

We have thousands and tens of thousands of skills and assets to share. We need to start sharing and swapping our abilities while uncoupling our reliance on the money culture if we are to live and thrive more successfully.
