What did you think of todays' episode?
On this week's episode of But Have You Heard About, Matt and I talk about Starseeds, or star people. Have you heard about this awakening? There’s a growing group of people on Earth who believe they’re aliens, or descendants of former alien interactions with humans. They are awakening to their Starseed origins and are here now to help in the transition of earth, where earth changes will precede our joining a greater star community of planets. The thought is that Starseeds originate from other planets and realms and possess spiritual and scientific knowledge dating back hundreds of thousands of years. There are two common thoughts among Starseed enthusiasts on how one becomes a Starseed. Whether they ARE aliens that are living on earth, a descendant of an alien, OR the descendant of someone that had alien interactions. Most Starseeds believe they have come to Earth from other dimensions to help heal the planet and guide humanity into the “golden age” – a period of great happiness, prosperity and achievement. Sounds like a groovy thing.
Matt and I go over the characteristics and traits of those that are believers. Get your checklist out and see if you are partially, or just a little bit of a Starseed.
We also go in depth on why anyone is suspectable to believing they're a star person, or the like--going into the Forer/Barnum Effect, source monitoring error, and the Einstein effect. All of these go hand in hand with how many people are led to believe they are Starseeds, or that horoscopes are real, or how psychics make generalized and vague statements that draw people in.
As we discuss, it isn't new-new, but started gaining traction with other New Age ideas in the 70s, and is attributed to Brad Steiger who wrote prolifically about the unknown and was keenly interested in alien life and extraterrestrials. In his 1976 book, Gods of Aquarius, Steiger introduced his notion that some people originate from other dimensions.
