This picture to the right is the Ken Carey I knew. I found it on the internet so I could show you what he looked like and because I have no pictures of him. I think he didn’t wanted his picture be taken, lest his privacy be in danger. At least that is what I think of him; and I respected his wishes. Several times during our relationship I asked him if I could interview him, be it just a sound recording or video. He declined both. I wanted him to come to our fellowship group to meet some of my other friends, because I found him interesting and different enough that I believe our group would see him as fascinating as I did. He said that meeting strangers in a group setting made him anxious and he couldn’t concentrate, so I stopped asking him.

This picture (both pictures are credited to manataka.org) on the left is the Ken Carey I never knew. He moved from the big city to a large isolated farm in South Central Missouri, with no electricity or running water. He wrote books geared to the revitalized New-Age set of the 90’s.

Carey, Ken

(religion, spiritualism, and occult)

Through the 1980s and 1990s, Chicagoan Ken Carey was one of the most popular New Age channelers, sharing the material he had received through a set of books. His story begins with his quitting a job with the post office and moving to a rural setting in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri.

The Starseed Transmissions

May 6, 2016

It's been years since I first read this and I had forgotten how heavily it relied on christianity-centered concepts. That bums me out a bit and blunts the message. I'm sure this is intended simply as a frame of reference so the average reader will be able to grasp the concepts, but for those who reject the trappings, the message gets fuzzy.

Those of a magickal bent know that technology without a frame of reference--the language to describe it--makes it seem like magic. Show a Bic lighter to someone who's lived his whole life in a jungle and it might be seen as a gift from the gods. Just because we grok that little goodie doesn't mean we're any less ignorant, just about bigger things. This book is presented, I suspect, with that in mind, probably bolstered in a big way by the guy trying to convey the message, and especially his prejudices.

No mention in this book of where this message came from or the involvement of people 10 years prior who received the original message--including Timothy Leary (in prison at the time) and Robert Anton Wil
