THE STAR CHILD BRAIN

By Daniel Jacob

From Side One of "The Star Children" CD:

"Since about 1973, there are no children anymore. There are only "little people." They are old, old souls who pretend they are young, impressionable babes. In one moment, a child may seem utterly weak and dependent, and in the next moment, he will inform his startled parents exactly what he did and where he (and they!) lived in a last life. Often, he'll do it off-handedly, without blinking, and then scurry off to watch television.

Ask a "Star Child" what she wants to be when she grows up. Her answer? "I dunno." A close second to that might be "It doesn't matter." Of course, they all learn quickly to verbalize something to satisfy parents, grandparents, and teachers--but if she does decide to tell the truth, there really is no "attitude" shown in her answer. That's probably what might bother her parents the most. A Star Child is too much *in the moment* to think about tomorrow. In the 60s, kids lived that way to rebel. In the 90s, they live that way because it is all they know how to do.

ORDER IN THE CHAOS

Star Children grow up doing their math homework while watching TV and listening to a walkman at the same time. The phone rings and a free hand is instantly peeling off one side of the headphones to add yet another bit of input to a busy brain. Can a student survive operating this way? Not only can he survive, he *thrives* on it!

The brain of a Star Child is a multi-track device. Each level spins at its own velocity and has it's own "pinpoint of attention" that works like a needle on a phonograph. Their conversations, especially in casual groups, often go every which way at once. Their greatest joy is random personal expansion, and their biggest nemesis is boredom. Nothing dulls the mind of a Star Child like being held in stasis completing an outwardly concocted task.

The two hemispheres of the old brain are plugged into many polarity configurations. Among them, is the dichotomy called "order and chaos." In the brain of a Star Child, the wiring for both of these states is found on the same side. Opposing it, where many of us would expect to find an adherence to order or structure, the brain runs on a temporary pattern focused upon compliance.

When the tourniquet is released, and they eventually let go of that compliance, the "other side of the brain" will become a unified OneMind. Polarity will be optional, and these youngsters will frequently skip from universe to universe, down the Fourth Dimensional Corridor, using the Multiverse like many of us now use the Yellow Pages.

A GENERATION UNDER RESTRAINT

In truth, the entire nervous system of our next generation is being held in check during this time. They have been trained, cajoled, threatened, blind-sided, and sometimes drugged to keep from intimidating their parents too much during these crucial stages of the Transformation.

Those personality-types that have been called "A.D.D." (attention deficit disorder) are simply aberrations of what is to come. They are children who try to track their minds with their bodies, giving form to every impulse. Their "disorders" are not bio-chemical, they are social.

The "symptoms" of A.D.D. kids are symbolic reactions to the energy configuration of their parents, social order, and/or primary caretakers. To focus only upon the youngster is to lose the bigger picture. A parent (or a society) who has a child that acts on everything that comes into his mind is a person or group who is *not acting* on many key things that screams within *their* collective mind. THAT, in fact, is the true attention deficit. To medicate the child is to simply buy time for the rest of us to catch up. But are we using that time to our best advantage?

As we have said, the Star Children are *all* medicated in one way or another during this transition time. They'd have to be, in order to keep from tearing the place apart. Of course, this is also by Grand Design. If they spend themselves on de-structuring the current landscape, they will have no strength left to lead us into the next level of our collective existence." (Disc 1, cut 1)

The question of "to medicate or not to medicate" is part of the ongoing purpose of this site.  It will be constantly changing, and I hope that at least some of those changes will originate from material that is submitted by you.  As we said in the opening of this sector, the world into which these special young people are awakening is not exactly set up to support their delicate consciousness and optimal style of living.  Adults are still locked in a kind of tetany of control and manipulation in regards to their kids.  Either that, or they go to the other extreme, and they dote on their kids, overindulge them, and try to live their lives through them. 

I have spoken to enough teachers, spouses, and parents of behaviorally challenged people to know about the devastation that can occur in a traditional family or community setting that tries to contain or control an awakening Star Child who is having difficulty.  It's like a powder keg that is sitting next to a lit match! 

The big question of "to medicate or not to medicate" will be the ongoing research that is conducted by this site.  Personally, I don't believe that there is any one stock answer.  My more devout alternative health care colleagues may disagree with this, and would be saying there is no reason at all to use medication.  I believe that this position is as extreme as the one that motivates physicians to pass out Ritalin like candy to children who may not even fit the profile of ADHD. 

Sometimes, folks, the root of the problem lies with a teacher who is tired, outmoded, and doesn't know how to engage his or her students.  I address both sides of this issue in my series "Educating the Educators."  Truthfully, I believe that the problems of ADHD, and most of the other "disorders" are far more than any one family can handle. They source themselves in the very way we do business in this society.  I address that issue in the "Child-Friendly Society" Sector.       

This is only the beginning.  The first collective wave of Star Children began to awaken in 2003.  Some, of course, came in fully aware, and their parents have tasted of their wisdom and giftedness already.  There are many who could tell us all stories that would excite the mind and thrill the heart!  I've heard some of them.  These kids are truly amazing.

What is your experience?  Would you like to include your data in our research?  Please feel free to write. If you don't mind having your story posted to our Research Forum or included in this site, please tell me so.  Also, let me know if you'd like your contribution to be anonymous, or if you would like me to link it to your e-mail or web site.  I look forward to hearing from you.  E-Mail Me.
