Book Reviews of Zen of Stars: Futures of Planet Earth
Book Review: Zen of Stars - some sparkle, lots of babble
Summary: 3 Stars
In retrospect, after reading St. Clair's 'Zen of Stars' I would feel more confident in recommending his website, his interviews and web videos, than his 400+ page book. On the web, and in interviews, he comes across as an articulate speaker. Yet through the course of the book he comes across as more of a rambling speaker; at times incoherent; often repetitive; frequently vague.
First, there is a lot of material in this book. And for many readers - like myself - who are wanting to join-the-dots on subjects such as 2012, future evolution, consciousness shift, other dimensional entities, etc, there is much in this book to assist. Yet overall the narrative gets bogged down by its own lack of structure. Now I know there is some element here of non-linear information processing, which I am not judging, yet it appears that many of these chapters were written separately, and over a long period of time. Thus, many subjects are repeated again and again, with little effort at consistency. This book would surely have benefited from professional editing (and some grammar checks!).
Subjects such as future human telepathy are brought up throughout the book - only in later chapters to talk about the future of the Web - the OmniNet - as creating new communication languages for us. Other vague statements include:
'Sailors once discovered lands far away. We will also need to move to the sea to re-colonise a new civilization after the long wars' (p.250)
'Future networks of people on a sacred journey will expand across the globe' (p.250)
'To see the future from the future...anyone can do it, when they align themselves with the forces of integrity, light and truth' (p.371)
Simple as that, it seems. Now I applaud St.Clair's attempts to inform us of all that he knows, and I am grateful for his efforts. At the same time, I also feel disappointed that he didn't make more effort to present a coherent framework to his discussions.
Overall, 3 stars... for repetitive rambling...
