STAR CHILDREN AND DEPRESSION

Click Here:  Pictures from "An American Gallery"

Many of you have been so kind to share with me stories concerning the marvels and struggles of our beloved Star Children.  To be so incredibly aware during this powerful time on the planet, yet feeling or believing they are  unable to physically reach out and make changes in the world can be agony for a Star Child.  This is why many of them are opting to stay asleep to who and what they are for just awhile longer.

The following open letter to Cyberspace was pulled from a Newsgroup, in 1998.  I think it was called "alt.teen.depression" or something.  It is written by a young  South African man.  He is crying out, singing actually, an anthem for all those who *know* too much for their own good.  They have one foot on this side of the Veil, and the other foot ready to leap into the Multiverse.

From "The Star Children" CD:

"THE STAR CHILDREN WHO ARE GROWING UP right under our noses are intellectually gifted and cunning beyond belief. What many of them lack is the self-esteem that would activate that bundle of frozen potential into something tangible and useful in today’s world.

Those who conform to society and move on into "respectability," are essentially feral creatures who simply submit to external restraint. This requires construction of internal walls of protection, in order to protect the inner sanctum of the Star Child Consciousness - the place where motivations are stored and nurtured. Those who find that they simply cannot "sell out" in order to get by, become what psychologists call "behaviorally disordered."

This whole idea of a disease process that is called a "disorder" was invented by men and women who make their living from defining and changing the attitudes and actions of others. Many of the basic premises and techniques for change used by these therapists and doctors are built from an extremely masculine (heavily logical) paradigm that holds a core belief that order equates with happiness. In such an out-of-balance society, everyone strives as much as possible to become or to remain "normal."

META-NORMAL CONSCIOUSNESS

Star Children are anything but normal, and they will readily declare that order is not their highest priority in life. Anyone who takes a look at a Star Child's room or apartment will verify that. Mostly, they seek the invocation of passion, though the term itself may not have meaning to them. To the adult mind, passion is equal to lust or an intense charge of emotion. To the younger mind, however, the ruling force in life becomes whatever unique blend of mind and emotion that can be compacted and distilled into a tall cup of liquid NOW." (Disc 2, Cut 1)
