Return of the Bird Tribes

Summary: A Grand View of Ancient America and our Present Condition
Review: Although a book written many years ago, I was recently drawn [8/2000] to finally read it. The history that was delineated in this book parallels my own personal experiences especially that regarding the Iroquois Confederacy. Two years ago I returned a sacred pipe to the Canadian/American area where the history of this book takes place. The information I personally garnered during this mission of "return" is the same as described in the book. Although written in 1988, it speaks of this "NOW" that we are presently experiencing. I personally feel the accuracy of this book is fairly high and should be recommended reading for all on the path of returning Humanity and Mother Earth to the Oneness.

Summary: Of a Higher Calling
Review: I first read Return of the Bird Tribes in 1990. It made me cry. This is a book written to wake up what many refer to as the Star People. If you are one, it will awaken you. It will make you feel deeply your inner calling, your true inner essence, and make you understand who you are unlike any other book. This book was never intended for the masses. It is truly of a Higher Calling. If it speaks to you, it will speak deeply. Other readers will probably not give it a second thought.

I have re read this book, or excerpts many times. It's kind of my "bible" in a way.

I have deep appreciation for this beautiful book. Thank you, Ken Carey.

Summary: A Grand View of Ancient America and our Present Condition
Review: Imagine a canyon out west, with a religion claiming every side of it, and all quarrelling over who made the canyon and what the stars are for and what you have to do to get to a better place.

That's the limited perspective of many of the spiritual teachings out there. What this book does is give you the perspective of the stars - of infinite sweeps of time and intention and how we all fit into the master plan.

Carey's "Starseed" may be the best place to start, especially for those of Christian backgrounds, but this one is great in how it presents many of the same ideas from the experiences of an ancient race of Native Americans, before our recorded history, and how their teachers have come back through the ages to help us move from our warrior identity to that of a tribe of brotherhood.

I can't say whether it's true or not, but it reads beautifully, very poetic, and the teachings are among the most profound and solid that I've read in all my religious studies.

By the way, the book isn't actually told by a bird. "Bird Tribes" is a term to mean spirit guides, angels, and Ascended Masters, the winged ones of heaven, of which Jesus would be included.

Summary: Positive, Intelligent Message for the Patient Reader
Review: This book contains some of the finest spiritual observations that I've ever encountered -- not to mention an abundance of confused images and flowery metaphors that have no real meaning.

In the introduction, Ken Carey explains that the chapters in this book do not contain his words but rather those of an ancient, omniscient spirit that is channeling its message through Carey -- I'm not sure whether or not the reader is supposed to take this seriously. Anyhow, the entire narrative is told from the perspective of this spirit, a representative of the ancient bird tribes who are currently returning to incarnate and change human history forever.

This book was very frustrating to read. There's simply too much spiritual discourse to wade through. Those who make the journey, though, will occasionally come across a delightful, intuitive piece of wisdom.

The bottom line: there's a lot of thought-provoking ideas in this book, but they should have been presented as a concise essay rather than a magical speech from a dead bird.
