Understanding Starseeds: My journey.

Starseeds (star people) were first written about by ufologist Brad Steiger in 1976.

Star seeds are galactic travelers whose souls have incarnated into human form or other types of life forms, in order to bring light and love to planet earth. They have travelled the cosmos since way before the birth of earth. They come from other planets and star systems such as, Andromeda, Pleiades, Sirius, Orion, Arcturus and Lyra Vega. They are advanced spiritual beings that incarnate not just on earth, but other planets and dimensions to learn, teach and spread light, love and peace.

They arrive with a mission or purpose that is only revealed at a predetermined time. It is believed that starseeds are "coded" with information about their true selves, and are set to activate at a certain time period in their life. They arrive (reincarnated) on earth with no memory of who they are and what their true purpose is. They must spend time on earth un-awakened in order to learn about humans, and experience sometimes very traumatic events in order to learn lessons so that they can teach and help others. These lessons are often difficult and painful but are essential in order to enrich their soul's knowledge of human nature, their soul's true self and to clear out karma. Lessons that weren't learned or overcome in a previous life carry over in to the soul's next one. Many starseeds have had many lives here on earth, some dating thousands of years.

If you had asked me a decade ago "What is a starseed?" I would have responded with "A what?" I wouldn't have had a clue what that term meant. My journey as a starseed began eight years ago. I first heard the term while having a reading at a psychic fair, where I was told that I was a starseed. I was baffled, but intrigued. So I started my research. The whole idea around starseeds absolutely fascinated me and I wanted to know more. Initially it was a very difficult subject to wrap my brain around. I questioned whether this could actually be a "real thing"? My whole life up to that point had been conditioned to believe that those types of ideas were fanciful and not logical.

I had always been interested in space, staring at the stars, the moon and watching shows like Star Trek and Star Wars. Starseeds are very highly enlightened, intelligent and resilient beings. Their strength of will and infinite wisdom about the universe are their "super powers". Eight years ago I did not see myself as resilient or strong. In fact most of my life I had very low self esteem and self worth. It wasn't because I didn't grow up in a loving and stable home, because I did. It was more of an inherent sense from early in my childhood, that I was different and I never seemed to ever fit in - anywhere. I was often misunderstood by my parents, peers and teachers. I was bullied all through elementary school and even a bit into high school. But it was the first year of high school that I really started to put on my masks and wear camouflage. No longer did I want to look and feel like I was an outsider. I changed my hair, my clothes, and wore lots of make-up. I may have "fit-in" more, but I still didn't feel like I belonged. Why? Because, I think differently than other people. I am an old soul, and always was more mature in my thought processes than others of the same age as me. The more ostracized and unworthy of love that I felt, the more masks I put on. A constant battle to fit in. However, the more masks you wear, and "less than" that you feel, the more you attract those who are only out for themselves, and you are just another stepping block to what ever they want. Every time I was rejected I put up yet another wall. This continued throughout my life until I was so hidden, I didn't even know who I was anymore.

Anyone who makes it look or seem like its an easy transition or journey towards enlightenment and the discovery of your true self, including the good and the bad, either aren't starseeds, or they are lying to themselves and to you. Because being a starseed or any kind of journey towards transition is not for the faint of heart. It is a tough road to take. You have to put the hard work in to make it through the gauntlet of layers upon layers of walls and shields that you have put up as defenses. The whole process of discovering if you are a starseed, why you are here on earth, and what you are here to clear out, will result in your whole world being torn down around you. The realization that everything or at the very least, some of what you thought was true about yourself, is all an illusion, is a tough pill to swallow. You have not only been wearing a mask your whole life, but rather many masks. The hardest and most difficult part is the discovery of why you are wearing masks and have layers of defenses. Looking into the dark shadows of your soul is extremely painful and often requires professional help.

This epiphany that you have been hiding all your life often is the beginning of what is some times referred to as going through the "dark night of the soul". It is a very challenging and often scary experience. And as you remove more and more layers and heal from all the wounds you tried to hide, you can have more than one "dark night of the soul". If you are determined to put in the time, which is often years, and do the work to heal and release what no longer serves you, it can be very rewarding and life changing. In my case, during my healing and releasing I had to not only have metaphysical treatments such as craniosacral and reiki therapies, but also medical treatments and counselling. I wish now I had, had more warning of the consequences of moving too quickly, and transitioning too rapidly before I finished my full healing process. Me trying to rush process resulted in me falling into a very deep depression that took many years to recover and heal from. Don't try and go through this transition process on your own. Ask for help when you need it.

I am now finally in a place where I am feeling more comfortable in "my true self". As John Candy said, "I like me".

I hope this is helpful to those who resonate with being a starseed and who want to put the work in to heal from trauma not only in this life, but also from difficult experiences in previous lives. Only then, can our true light shine and our work during this life period begin.
