Star Trek Revealed: The Spiritual Dimension of the Original Series

by Carole Devine

The almost Aesop-like parables in Star Trek laid down a philosophy of moral rectitude. However, the show did more by giving a positive vision of a future thought of as science fiction and unattainable in the 60s, such as existing as non-corporal beings and being able to manifest whatever we wanted with mind power alone. Now, more than 40 years later, we realize we can achieve these things, and it has been easier to accept current concepts evolving during these years because Star Trek paved the way. Also during the 60s A Course in Miracles was being scribed, and it espoused the same principles essential to Star Trek: we create our own reality; love is stronger than force of will; and all our reality is an illusion based on our perception.

As an old Star Trek fan, I loved reading about my favorite episodes in a new way. Carole Devine shows how the series reflected the progressiveness of the 60s and how the idealistic and metaphysical concepts of the time influenced the plotlines. The author references A Course in Miracles, a book that began with automatic writing at about the same time. Devine shares her personal insights and experiences with compelling anecdotes from her own life. An astrologer, she also includes an excellent overview of the Uranus-Pluto conjunction of the 1960s and its influence on the times and the horoscopes of Gene Roddenberry and Helen Schucman (transcriber of A Course in Miracles).

This great little book is a real bargain for a hardback copy. It even has the title in gold relief. Apart from the content, which in itself is very well thought out, where else could you find such a collectible treasure?
