Stars on the Earth
ISBN 0-595-40781-1 
Stars On The Earth is almost brilliant. Richard Leviton has a knack for finding mythologies and stories that are not often told. When it comes to tables with sacred spots and different deities and mythologies, I dare say that one would be hard-pressed to find a better book than this. However, there is a massive downside.
Mr. Leviton describes something in this book that is a “wide-open” field. This “wide-open” field concerns the light grids that some believe illuminate the Earth and are the cause or the “struts” of its existence. The fact that many ancient cultures around the world built solid objects along certain lines suggests that this aspect of the book is more than a theory. That these lines also often aligned with certain stars is also factual.
Star domes, ethereal creatures, and secret galactic histories, however, are notoriously hard to determine where fact starts and fiction begins. At the very least, Mr. Leviton develops a hybrid science that is plausible in many regards.
However, the area where Mr. Leviton fails terribly is at the point he tries to convince or insist that Lucifer is just a misunderstand angel along with all the giants that used to roam the planet. In his version of events, apparently, Lucifer is an “okay angel” that really is all about making a “beautiful sacrifice”. Of course, one of his “grid line events” happens five days after 9-11 in Tennessee, and one wonders if that was also one of those “beautiful sacrifices” Lucifer is somehow implicated within. Mr. Leviton makes no connection between that, and the fact that Tennessee is also home to people with political power who might have had direct bearing on how the events of 9-11 unfolded and “all the dead trees that look like evil has destroyed them” in the area of Tennessee he happens to be pondering and observing.
He also mentions that the Cherokee Indians believed in a group of astral bears that lived in some kind of townhouse, which I think is also suspect since Cherokee Indians would not be likely to understand what a townhouse was. A lodge or tipi, perhaps.
As it sounds then, this book has a lot of brilliant insights punctuated by insanity. It is more of a “ride” than it is “a read”. At one point, Mr. Leviton says that his angelic “assistors” depict themselves “tarted up” within the guise of a blazing star that he describes as a " black bowling ball“. I am not entirely sure Mr. Leviton got the full memo on angels, but in the cliff notes of most angelic existences there is not an allotment made for”tarting up." Fallen angels, sure. Angelic angels in the heavens? No way.
This glaring oversight makes the rest of the book suspect particularly since Mr. Leviton says he is working with Archangel Michael at another juncture. He jumps through world mythologies seemingly not understanding that most of those mythologies are full of cultures that are now as dead as the trees he views as being destroyed by “evil”.
On the other hand, Mr. Leviton has been at this for a long time, and started doing what no one was yet doing in the 80’s so perhaps some leeway should be granted.
On the other hand, as opposed to referring to the Adam Kadmon as being the etheric template of man he refers more often to Albion which is a distinctly English monarchic way to relate to the subject. Especially telling is that the phrase that most often precedes Albion in the old literature is “treacherous”. Mr. Leviton omits this descriptor.
Where Glastonbury Tor is at the head of the light grid, Jerusalem apparently does not even constitute a “navel”. That area that takes care of that is also, not surprisingly, in England. Also, at the very end, he mentions that Judeo-Christian beliefs have “lied” about Lucifer as indicated, and that there is “nothing wrong” with his “misunderstood” rebellion.
A lot of the rest of the book discusses stars/stargates and the relation between stars and the Earth as the book title would indicate. Again, much of this material indicates a sort of Babylonian lean. Egypt and Babylon may or may not have had star gates that gave people access to the Gods, but it seems this proved to be a “bad thing generally” and one infers that probably this is because mortals are crunchy. Indeed, both Egypt and Babylon have a long history of eating people at varying rates for different festive occassions.
The verdict of the booklight then? If you want to read a book that courts madness and outright lies to you at fairly regular intervals mixed in with pretty good research on Native American beliefs, this is a book for you. If you want a book for how the light grid works or doesn’t work, I’d treat this book with a lot of caution. If you want a book that does not have any sort of Luciferic agenda, this book is right out. If you can understand that many books in the world have a lot of things in them and not all of them are beneficial, then you can make it through this book and the madness it represents mostly intact with the feeling that Mr. Leviton probably has had all the experiences he says he has, but he has not yet understood his own end, or how he is being used by powers and entities that he does not comprehend. In that specific regard, it is a scary book since it shows how far down a rabbit hole one can get without ever knowing they are in such a rabbit hole with which to begin.
It’s probably why a “Great Man” said “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Whether the Father forgives Mr. Leviton is between Mr. Leviton and that Great Presence, but I would say offering a defense of Lucifer is poor grounds for such forgiveness. It certainly is not going to help repair the light grid of the Earth any faster, since Lucifer is, quite often, busy trying to tear that down so that he is the “brightest thing around”.
