Mutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan

[dannybananny]

I read this book and I can say I was quite fascinated because there were many similarities with what C's said. This book is about Marlo's journey to Australia and about her travel with Aborigines that took 4 months. She travels with them and learns higher wisdom from them and in that way she is transforming. These Aborigines were the last tribe that lived by their tradition that was by their saying kept from the beginning of time. They live like collective soul and they use speech in rare occasions - when they celebrate and sing, and they communicate through thoughts - telepathy. What is interesting is they call themselves Real men and they call outlanders Mutants, and this is referring that they lost knowledge about they true nature. they even mention Jesus and that he was sent to give the truth to Mutants because they forgot it. Also they say that the Earth is changing and that some Mutants can in these times go back to they true essence, they see everything as one and say about Mutants disrespect of nature and their real history. They are like a little children when they play, they are modest and wise. They can survive in desert for months feeding from bugs, vegetation, use every single thing what they found for something, and they respect every being, animal, plant, for them everything has it's purpose. There was accident in which one member badly broke his leg, but next day he could walk as if nothing happened, they did some kind of prayer and put his leg back and put something on it, they did some kind of prayer to Creation. Every member of a group has his special talents that he develops to help others, like there is a women that explains dreams, women that is healer, etc... they celebrate every year when one of their members has become better men. They are in absolute communion with Earth(they can sense water from a miles away and have other powers because of their spirituality) and see everything as lessons, they don't judge us but they accept us as we are and they respect free will, see Mutant system as slavery, they see God ass all creation and say that problem with religion is that they that they give God the shape. In the end they sent Marlo back to deliver the message that Mutants forgot who they are and that they8Real men) are soon leaving these planet and these fragile bodies because they done they homework. in the end they show her they cave and their history! There's a lot more in the book and I recommend it! Never thought they were so spiritually developed, probably very advanced souls! these is how the STO 3D society looks like! Everybody thinks they are primitive but these shows that they done their job in these realm! What is important is that Marlo was under attack when she published her experiences and talked about it, all of that was called science fiction, she was particularly criticized by racist groups and Australians!

Hi dannybanny,
does she say what group she spent time with and where abouts in Australia she traveled? It reminds me a little of The Kin of Ata are Waiting for You which is about a group living a 3D STO type lifestyle seperate from the rest of the world, although in this case the author did not claim it was real. It actually left me feeling pretty raw once I had finished, like all my selfish intentions had been exposed.

Hi Dannybananny, thanks for sharing
My 'to read' list is too long atm to include this book, but how shell-melting a story it seems. The book has generally been filed as fiction ( one site claims) by Australians and Aboriginals who have made controversy on it's authenticity. Still I know this kind of people exist somewhere...

We had finished our meal for the day. The fire was a soft glow of embers, and occasional sparks rose into the surrounding limitless sky. Several of us sat in a circle around the flickering patterns. These people, like many Native American tribes, believe when you are sitting in a circle it is very important that you observe the other members of the group, most especially the person sitting directly opposite you. That person is a spirit reflection of yourself. The things you see in that individual that you admire are qualities within yourself that you wish to make more dominant. The actions, appearances, and behavior that you do not like are things about yourself that need working on. You cannot recognize what you deem to be good or bad in others unless you yourself have the same strengths and weaknesses at some level of your being. Only the degree of self-discipline and self-expression differ. They believe the only way a person ever truly changes anything about himself is by his own decision, and that everyone has the ability to change anything he wants to about his personality. There is no limit to what you can release and what you can acquire. They also believe the only true influence you have on anyone else is by your own life, how you act, what you do. Believing this way makes the tribal members committed every day to being better persons.

I was sitting across from Sewing Master. Her head bent as she gave serious concentration to the repair job at hand. Earlier in the day, Great Stone Hunter had come to her after the water vessel he carried around his waist belt suddenly fell to the ground. It was not the kangaroo bladder filled with our precious cargo that wore out, only the leather strap holding it to his side.

Sewing Master cut the natural thread with her teeth. They were worn smooth and about half their original height. Raising her head from the working posture, she said, "It is interesting, Mutants and aging. Jobs one grows too old to perform. Limited usefulness."

"Never too old for worth," someone added.

"It seems business has become a hazard to Mutants. Your businesses were started so people could get better items collectively than they could get for themselves and as a method to express individual talent, and become part of your money system. But now the goal of business is to stay in business. It seems so strange to us because we see the product as a real thing, and people as real things, but business isn't real. A business is only an idea, only an agreement, yet the goal of business is to stay in business regardless. Such beliefs are difficult to understand," Sewing Master commented.

It may be a romantized story but it reflects a real culture of essence care.

Essence is the truth in man; personality is the false. ...As personality grows, essence manifests itself more and more rarely and more and more feebly and it very often happens that essence stops in its growth at a very early age and grows no further. It happens very often that the essence of a grown-up man, even that of a very intellectual and ...highly "educated" man, stops on the level of a child of five or six. This means that everything we see in this man is in reality "not his own." What is his own in man, that is, his essence, is usually only manifested in his instincts and in his simplest emotions. There are cases, however, when a man's essence grows in parallel with his personality. Such cases represent very rare exceptions especially in the circumstances of cultured life. Essence has more chances of development in men who live nearer to nature in difficult conditions of constant struggle and danger.

Hi dannybanny,

She said they call themselves Real men or Real humans, but I don't now if they are all still alive because they said that they aren't going to live long, they said that there is lesser food and that they are not going to have sex that is for them the biggest spiritual commitment, but the youngest I think had 13 years, and it is possible that they are still alive because it happened 1994. where they are no one knows because they live in deep deserts were people don't go and can't survive there. i forgot to mention that they showed here some cave where they had paintings of all events through their history and some caves where they practiced secret teachings how to create illusions and scare people by making them to see that there are 50 of them but really there is only one of them. She said that Australian government did nuclear tests in deserts and she saw on painting of flaying saucer with Mutants that are stranger than us!

Essence has more chances of development in men who live nearer to nature in difficult conditions of constant struggle and danger.

And they smile to us because we behave like little children!
