The story of “THE STARS DON’T CRY” revolves around divine visitations based on “Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul,” by Jane Roberts dictated to her husband from 1963 to 1984, first published in the late 1960s. Jane Roberts claimed the words were spoken by a discarnate spirit named Seth. Seth’s idea that, through our thoughts and beliefs, we create our own reality has affected millions of people around the globe. One can reach his or her highest potential, according to Seth, by accessing and using the tremendous source of joy, power and wisdom that lies within. The song also alludes to the Native American legends of the Star People, telling stories of contacts between American Indians and ancestors who came from the sky, bringing rain, abundant crops, and most importantly, joy to the indigenous people. Clifford Mahooty, a Zuni elder and member of the Kachina Society, reveals that “any Indian tribe and other Aboriginal groups have a direct connection with what we term “the Star People,” and we are also connected with the whole Universal system,” thus reminding us that humans have had mystical experiences since the dawn of civilization. From this perspective, “The Stars Don’t Cry” represents a poignant tribute to humanity, through the lens of a Native American sensibility that lifts our spirits and helps reconnect with the wisdom of the Universe.—Diana Guber, “Ah, Don’t You Know?” 2020.
