Star Children?

In my research into December 12th, 2012 and the symbolism behind 11:11 I came across a term I hadn't heard before: Star Child.

Of course at first I though tit was something related to Scientology, just as all crazy things tend to be but then I dug a little deeper and found that it is a society of people that believe there is a new race of humanity beginning to develop on the planet. These individuals also may find themselves possessed of super human powers such as: Telepathy, Channeling, Physical Healing, Invisibility, Personal Alchemy and Astral Travel. They also go on to say the Star Children have very interesting mood swings. Now, I know what you're thinking:

"Jon, you just had a series of very serious and pertinent posts that were very eloquently and professionally written and now you are commenting on a group of crazy people that think they have super powers? Have you lost your mind?"

No, not entirely. At least not yet. Try to follow me through the rabbit hole for a minute see if I can't show you my train of thought...

The current landscape of the world is very different from when many of the older generations grew up and even so from when I grew up. I'm only 23yrs old and I already find myself saying,

"When I was young...."

Perhaps the group of people that are joining this "Star Children Network" are reaching out for a way to feel unique; in the ever changing landscape of the worlds societies it can be very easy to completely lose yourself in ambiguity. With social sciences it doesn't take long for you to realize that there are only so many types of people in the world; so many ways that a person will react to certain situation and so many things a person can feel. You are NOT a unique snow flake and you are NOT different from everyone else. What makes each person special and an individual is the way they pretend to act. The only time a person will act in an unpredictable way is when they are trying to look better than they really are.

People will care about other people and other things that in no way effect their everyday lives because they want to appear to be an empathetic individual. Altruism, as it is called, is the unselfish assistance of others. (In not so many words). It is seen in many different species of animals as well as all cultures of mankind.

This is rubbish.

Even with animals altruistic behavior can be explained not by the unselfish support to other animals but by the logical idea that there is safety in numbers and sharing what you have now can lead to others sharing what they have later. I do not nor cannot believe that animals have some sort of higher consciousness that would allow them to go against their natural programming in order to give away what little resources they have accumulated in order to help someone else. The entire goal of all species (including humans) is to reproduce. Helping others doesn't help you in that regard. Except in humans where kindness to others can actually get you laid if you find a chick that's into that. ;-)
