Aspects of that shared vision involve protecting the environment and all its life-forms, and realising that we are part of a much larger cosmic plan. Santa Fe—based author and lecturer Nancy Red Star, the daughter of a Cherokee, has been playing her part in facilitating this grand global vision, which sees the stepping up of planetary vibration and the dawning of an enlightened new age. For Legends of the Star Ancestors, she has gathered contribu- tions from teachers, healers, shamans and artists from a variety of traditions, cultures, religions and combinations thereof: Native American, African, Australian Aboriginal, Celtic, Cuban, Islamic, Japanese, Jewish, Mayan, Tibetan and more. All of them are working in their own way to protect their cultural and spiritual wisdom and share it receiving "communications from the dead" before then.

And now with television and com- puters, the possibilities for receiving anom- alous messages have expanded. In his guide to understanding EVP and ITC, Connelly describes the types of voices and other sub-phenomena encountered in recordings and shows how the layperson can experiment with very simple recording equipment. He also speculates on how the words and sounds arrive on tape, in defiance of definitive scientific explanation, as well as on their sources. He considers several theories and "laws" covering multidimen- sional consciousness and cyberspace reality which may help explain the phenomenon. with the world.
