Mutant Message Down Under

by Marlo Morgan
1994, HarperCollins Publishers, ISBN: 0-06-017192-8

Mutant Message Down Under is the fictional account of the spiritual odyssey of an American woman in Australia. Summoned by a remote tribe of nomadic Aboriginals to accompany them on a walkabout through the Outback, she makes a four-month-long journey with the "Real People," as the tribe calls itself. During this time she learns how they live and thrive in natural harmony with the plants and animals that exist in the rugged geography of the desert region. By traveling with this extraordinary community of individuals, Morgan becomes a witness to their essential way of being in the world based on the ancient wisdom and philosophy of their more than 50,000-year-old culture.
From the first day of her adventure, Morgan is challenged by the physical requirements of the journey. She faces daily tests of her endurance, and these challenges ultimately contribute to a personal transformation. Her Aboriginal companions generously welcome her as one of their own and become her compassionate teachers. She learns from them to celibrate the unique talents and inner spirit of each person, witness powerful methods of natural healing, and comes to understand that their awareness of what it is to be alive is deeply meaningful.
Mutant Message Down Under, an underground bestseller in its self-published edition, recounts a unique, timely, and powerful message for all humankind. It is not too late to save our world from destruction if we realize and honor that all living things -- be they plants, animals, or human beings -- are part of the same universal oneness. All live in a beautiful state of interdependence. If we heed the message, our lives, like the lives of the Real People, can be filled with this great sense of purpose.
