Book Review by Bobby Matherne ©2002
Ken Carey is the author of "Starseed Transmissions" which conveyed a vast
image of the direction of humanity in its migration to the stars. That we
are the Star Seed ourselves was its point. Carey writes "Return of the Bird
Tribes" Carey, after spending seven years living off the land in rural Missouri
(with his only acquiescence to technology being a kerosene lamp - he gives
the aura of considering kerosene to be a 'natural' product rather than the
end-product of a complex refining process). Thus purified by his isolation
and his imagination, he describes via a spirit channel (American Indian,
of course) how the world has evolved into warrior tribes around the Mediterranean
Sea and into peaceful nations of tribes in North and South America.
His story of how Hiawatha and his friend tame the dreaded hatchet-murderer
is a gem. A beautiful and insightful story of taming the beast in the warrior.
His descriptions of the goals of humankind are alone worth the price of the
paperback ($11.95), although you must wait for the last five percent of the
book to encounter them.
Reading this book has brought home to me a realization about channeling and
ideas. No matter how far-ranging and all-encompassing the spirit guides seem
to be (20 Billion years old this one), they cannot seem to create new ideas
or to encounter ideas that are not already in the literature. Each time I
encounter a writer with broad, pervasive visions of the future, they touch
on the importance of cooperation, but fall into the history-long trap of
assuming that means that hierarchical bureaucracies must be the agents of
the cooperation they envision. They are not able to make out or discover
(in spite of their averred omniscience and omnipresence) the simple definition
of freedom and the essence of true government as created and elaborated on
by Dr. Galambos in his volitional science seminars. This very process confirms
the teachings of Dr. Galambos. Without a single person's freely shared idea
the world may never progress into some specific area of evolution, e. g.,
No Wright Brothers, no Pan Am Airlines; no Nikola Tesla, no AC power stations;
and no Galambos, no Natural Society (and no understanding of the process
just described).

Ugh. Where does this drivel come from? From the Heavens, of course! All I
have to say is that I don't need the pseudo-existential ramblings of some
sentient extraterrestrial--channelled, by the way, through a fever-stricken
Carey (helllloooooo? its called DELERIUM! )--to recognize that western culture
neglects the spirit and focuses too much attention on the physical, ie. materialism.
What a concept! Omigod, Carey, you are, like, soooooo profound. If you are
after a good read on pantheistic existentialism, without having to deal with
the righteous Born-Again Christian ideology that Carey falls back to time
and time again, try _Tao Te Ching_ by Lao-Tzu.
The Stephen Mitchell translation flows very nicely, and it wont cause you
to gag or close the pages in embarrassment for the author. Unfortunately,
I cannot say the same about _The Starseed Transmissions_.
I can't take credit for all the thoughts above I do agree with most of them.
I found it difficult to understand how this ... guide..spirit?/entity/ufo/
always seems to come back to democracy and the 'western way' as the only
true -way and how even as he is saying we need to have room for difference
he almost in same breath spouts the virtues of the truth. christianity..
space stations?
A hard bit of channeling for me to swallow.. although I do agree for
recovery spirituality is all important. wherever you find it..
I like Pathwork better and find it more
authentic. but it is difficult to live and does have the daily check in or
self review.. prayer, self discovery, forgiveness, all the real essentials
for real authentic growth and recovery.
