“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.”

from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell

Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.
It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. 
It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.
The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.
Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness.

This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more.

Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.
Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers.
