Mary covers some topics that I share an interest in (we have had some limited communications in the past) such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Where we seem to differ is in that I read the academic papers on what caused these neurological conditions in our evolutionary past and have a very personal need to know, being myself Aspergers. Technically speaking, I would be an example of the types of individuals Mary is working with being that I am a contactee with 'past life memories' of being an alien and a strong sense of mission. Unlike other so-called 'starseeds' I do not have only a tale to tell, but evidence to show.
Some claim that many humans incarnate from elsewhere. Robert Monroe, for example, notes this. Others claim to incarnate on other planets elsewhere between Earth incarnations. Some want to go home. The Egyptian pharaohs travelled to certain stars on their physical demise.
For me the 'star seed' thing is more romance than a serious articulation of what is going on. The fact that some folk remember a life on a distant planet does not mean that coming from a distant planet is a rare thing - any more than the fact that a few people remember past lives here might suggest that only a few people have had past lives here.
I have a friend who says she is from another planet - and I believe her, because she really doesn't get humans at all. That's a useful thing to know about her because otherwise her deep sensitivity and her failure to 'grok' humans can seem a bit weird. But I have met other people who make the same claim - and I have no idea what to do with that information, or how to verify it. My unvoiced response is along the lines of - Yeah, so what? It tells me nothing about you, other than you might be a bit crazy.
To be honest, I don't what to make of any claim that near-atypical people are, or may be, from elsewhere. I have a sense that within the ASD definition, Aspergers has become a sub-set with its own sub-spectrum. I am not implying anything about you, Bruce, because I do not know you, but I have noticed that a 'diagnosis' of Aspergers has become somewhat fashionable, ever since Temple Grandin became a public figure. [Just so you know, I have worked in the disability sector over 17 years, I have a nephew with Aspergers, and I am working to support a colleague with aspergers].
At one stage I thought that the whole logic of mucking around with human DNA was to make the human body a better fit for incarnating souls from elsewhere. We humans have an inordinate interest in the stars, and it can seem that many of us don't seem to have a natural empathy of life on Earth - others do - some because they identify deeply with Earth and others, like my friend, because they identify with animals [but not humans] and think they come from elsewhere. That latter observation can seem like an attribute of Aspergers - a soul attribute rather than a biological glitch.
The fit between incarnating soul and body is an ongoing issue for humans [and disability is only one aspect of that]. I recently listened to an audiobook in which the physical body was described as a "diving suit". It would make good sense to constantly refine the design of the 'diving suit' so that the diver was best kitted out to do what they wanted/needed to do. I get it that having somebody mucking around with your suit while you are in it and diving might alarming.
This suggests to me that we are often trapped in the materialist delusion of seeing the 'diving suit' as more important than the diver. Experiencers/ abductees report experiences as if what is happening to their sense of their 'diving suit' is happening to them as a whole. It is of course true that the diver's identity merges with the diving suit while diving most of the time. That's normal - typical.
Sorry, back to my main point. Souls coming from lives elsewhere in this or another galaxy is not news, or it shouldn't be. Its probably [definitely, I'd say] been going on since humans were established. What is news is that we are talking about it more widely. My aversion to what Mary is doing is that its a bit too new agey for my taste. I get the spin and the marketing angle - and maybe that's what's needed. Its just not to my taste.
I can see a lot of reasons why upgrading the 'diving suit' might be a good idea. We are now diving in a soup of radiations our traditional bodies might not be best suited to. If we are to go off planet a 'diving suit' designed specifically for Earth will not work elsewhere. Now and then there are breathless descriptions of how ET's craft are a fusion of tech and biology. No shit? Our 'diving suits' are pure biology. That is pretty amazing!
A little while ago I read that rather than being organic beings having spiritual experiences, we are, in fact, spiritual beings having organic experiences. We are 'divers', before we join our identity to the 'diving suits'. The organic beings that constitute our 'diving suits' are terrestrial creatures who may not actually respond all that well to going off planet.
So how long would it take to 'evolve' [develop] a 'space suit' as opposed to a 'diving suit'? There are reports that ET does not understand attributes of an organic 'diving suit' such as fear - and probably other 'animal' emotions. These same reports claim that ET kind of 'over evovled' and created 'organic diving suits' that have profound functional and viability problems. I have no idea whether is true literally, but I do suspect it is at least true metaphorically. I have read accounts where it is clear that ET has no sense of the terrestrial organic responses.
Any kind of hybridisation, or intentional evolution, tends to have a goal of rendering an organism fit for an intended purpose. Which is.....?
