Starseeds (also known as starchildren, star people, lightworkers, crystal children, et al.) believe that they’re human bodies inhabited by advanced extraterrestrial or interdimensional souls.
It’s difficult to estimate just how many starseed believers there are and even more difficult to estimate how many people self-identify as one. We know there’s at least one—the “
Q Shaman” who stormed the Capitol on January 6th—but who else?
The number might be anywhere from the tens or hundreds of thousands (assuming everyone who subscribers to YouTube channels like
kloee taylor,
Zoey Arielle, and
Moon Omens, which have 47,000, 143,000, and 29,000 subscribers respectively, is a genuine believer) to as high in the millions, with a startling
12 million Americans reporting to believe in a reptilian alien race, a core component of starseed thinking which we’ll get into in more detail below.
While there’s no unified starseed religion or doctrine, there
is a general belief among the starseed community that they’re here to help earth undergo a paradigm shift, from the 3rd dimension to the 5th dimension. Sometimes, this may be couched in terms like “raising the earth’s vibration,” or even more mundane descriptors like “authenticity” or “living your truth.” Where you see references to vibrations, frequency, or ascension, typically starseeds aren’t far behind.
Bringing about this shift typically first starts with their own awakening or activation, which happens via introspection and lifestyle changes like switching to a vegan or fruitarian diet and intentional daily practices like yoga, meditation, box breathing, and manifestation.
The second, and perhaps most central, pillar for an awakening starseed is that you yourself can change reality. There are no coincidences, only synchronicity.
