Steven Guth has published 13 books. This is his first „Faction“. After studying social psychology he worked for two Australian Universities as a community developer for Aboriginal groups. Steven lives in a multicultural situation. He has a lifelong interest in cultural and religious conceptualisation. He lives with Kathrine, two sons and four grandchildren at Galong, a village in the hinterland of Canberra. Steven enjoys driving around the bush in his old Mercedes.
"Message Stone“ focuses on a sacred stone that was given to him. The stone opens up time and space. This reflects Aboriginal culture with its Churinga stones. Every site around in Australia - and there were thousands upon thousands - had a Churinga attached to it. If you had ownership of the Churinga you could 'Dream' the site ... that means that you could access the spiritual forces and 'Beings' that were attached to the location. And the stone here, Steven's 'Message Stone', is similar to a Churinga stone but is not linked to any site. It is a universal 'dreaming stone'.
The concepts in the book are accurate and describe deep levels of Aboriginal culture.
