Neo Bluestar is an avid believer in the Ascension, who often posts on Facebook about themes along these lines. He particularly dislikes and despairs at the overarching corruption and money-driven ideologies of the modern neoliberal western culture. He attributes much of the world’s ills to negative alien forces, and looks forward to the day when ‘they’, the good guys arrive. For example, in a

Facebook post on 15th May, 2016, he wrote:

When the shift in global consciousness finally ascends to our true star being nature..sacred/gift economy will replace the Babylonian money magic system, perpetuated by the unseen negative energies, definitively known as the Archons, and their minions; the illuminati. Then and only then, will this planet know peace and balance ♡~}:

The belief in a negative reptilian force is perhaps an unsurprising one given the Judeo-Christian themes within the Starseed worldview. Partridge makes a wry observation in his study of ufological NRMs that “[t]he space gods may be Theosophical, but the space demons are Christian” (2004:175), which applies to Starseeds.

Much like other spiritual or religious groups, there are variations and degrees with which Starseeds are involved in or affected by what one might term ‘dark energies’. Most of my respondents, as well as Whild and Kusel, tended to focus on ‘lighter’ topics and the Ascension, and when I pressed Whild on the subject of reptilian aliens for example, he commented sagely that “they too are seeking divine love” and did not want to engage with this subject further. By contrast, my friend Petra was actively engaged with the dark side, aiming to dispel entities and battle them for her clients and friends. She saw this as her mission, and that by helping people “get rid of their shit” she was aiding the Ascension. Petra would often be up to the early hours of the morning undergoing what she called ‘energetic clearings’ and shielding herself from attacks from etheric beings. While there are several dark agents that Starseeds might face, the most commonly referenced ones are the Archons or Annunaki, said to be reptoid in appearance, cold and heartless, and who primarily influence us from the 4th dimension through the medium of the mind.

Starseeds would agree with philosopher Wendy Hamblett’s statement that evil is “the irrational inexplicable” (2014:12). In this section, I address the dark, reptilian aliens as Starseeds see them, but I pursue this subject further with more broad analysis in the 3D Matrix section of Chapter Four. In my questionnaire, I ask two related questions regarding beliefs about reptilian control and the concept of evil in the Starseed worldview. In response to the question Reptilian control? Mystreni wrote: “If people only knew - hence the flouride, GMO’s, etc. . . ugh!” To the same question, Clayton Popa answered:

I do feel that this is big in todays society, in fact after one of my healing sessions i was told that they had removed a reptilian that was attached to me. This was the time i was doing drugs and i can specifically remember the event of when i saw the reptillian come down from the clouds. i also remeber waking up the next day and felt something stuck within my throat that no xray could see. This is a real situation and is currently happening on earth today.

Whereas Stargazing Angel replied, “Not sure about this. Possible.”When I asked Stargazing Angel about this later, writing to her that ‘some people believe these beings control the government etc’, she wrote, “Oh, I do believe that”. She had meant that ‘reptoid’ influence upon her own life was nil or negligible. The most interesting answer to this question came from Diana, a later respondent with whom I had several Facebook conversations. She commented that“Apparently they are the bad guys, but I have had a very emotional encounter with one..loving, so they can’t be all bad”. Diana revealed to me that she had an ongoing relationship with a reptilian entity for a few years now, and it was a positive rather than terrible one, although she was attempting to extricate herself from his influence. Diana was also enrolled in an anthropology course and seeking a research grant to, as she put it, “prove that aliens exist”.

To my other related question, Is there a notion or concept of evil in your worldview? Who or what is this and how does it manifest itself?, Clayton answered:

Haha you make me laugh with this question. Evil is the product of greed and power as it has been for many years. To be honest the world needs a balance to create harmony. the only difference is that the world has allowed itself to conjour this so called evil into a demonic state and manipulative structure for purposes of pure hatred and disaster. The term negative or dark energy better suits this purpose. It arrises because for so long the world has been asleep and it has been able to hold the reigns over society. You see as an empath i can feel the negative energy of people and places and you can not like something or someone just by walking past them. Most times they try and find you because you shine a brighter light and they want that or to just be a pest and annoy you. This topic of evil cannot be just merely link to the unseen it also can be linked to human nature, greed, power, money, lust, envy,

sympathy all the things that make people crazy. It is this fact that big businesses and corporations can manipulate people by attacking these emotions and fears to control them, that to me is more evil than saying there is a devil in hell.

Stargazing Angel wrote, “Yes. All evil stems from a sense of separation from others and therefore God. However, the light of love always wins against evil. Fear is the opposite of love and light and fear feeds evil.” Whereas Diana answered, “I believe that all there truly is, is love, and that ‘evil’ only exists in this ‘game’ of duality”.
