Messages from Other Worlds chronicles the travels of a research starship through space, time and dimensions in search of new sentient life in order to identify and catalog the customs and spiritual choices of those worlds. The starship crew compares these cultures to others that have made similar choices. By understanding these other cultures so far from Earth, we can realize that all people everywhere want to love and be loved, to raise their children according to their standards and for all to be healthy and happy. This can help us learn from the mistakes of others who destroyed their home worlds through violence or had to start a new way of life due to natural cataclysmic events. Recognizing our similarities to our star brothers can help us see that we can make better choices and that there is always hope, even when things appear to be hopeless.
