The following is a letter from an Elder Crystal featured in our August issue in the article http://www.planetlightworker.com/articles/sharyljackson/article20.htm

Hi, Sharyl,

Trust everything is going well with you and your loved ones!

Wanted to share with you that I am working now. It is possible! I found a place where I can be myself. The people with whom I work are very understanding. They do not understand me completely, but they do try. They understand I am a bit different. Of course, I have to show them how to treat me. Things have changed; people are more open and accepting over here (Holland). They are more curious than afraid. I have learned that I do not have to hide all the time anymore; little by little it feels safe to come out. Isn't that great?

Have to be careful of course. Finding myself a little out of balance right now. At work, I read the minds of little ones but also the adults. I can see very fast what the little babies are feeling and I am translating them all the time. Have to make sure that when I find out that a baby is not understood or treated very well at home, to let go. And trust the baby's choice and spirit.

I have already met little crystal ones. These moments are very beautiful and emotional. We recognize each other immediately, and we hug and kiss and say hello. These little ones follow me all day. They find it very comfortable that I can read them, like they read me, and they do not have to speak! Some of them find eating a real challenge, and forcing them will only make them not want to eat at all. With love and patience and listening to their choice of food, they will eat. The people I work with followed me on this one. They are forcing the little ones to eat, because they were forced to eat when they were little.

For me, it is healing to work with the little ones. They show me again every day that I can be myself. That I have to remember to play and how magical this planet is! In their little mind, life is so simple. And they are reminding us, that it is so. If you can believe it.

Going out there was and is a real challenge for me. But I want to and I believe that with a little help and understanding from you all, we crystal people can come out. If they want to, of course.

I want to because I want to show you it is possible. Everything is possible. Have to be honest, don't want to feel lonely anymore. Want to be out there amongst you all! We are all the same, and don't feel scared when you look in our eyes. You are only seeing the future you!

Thank you for making the world a safer place,

Raven Star.

Dear Sharyl:

Wendy Chapman at Metagifted.com believes that many crystal children are being diagnosed as autistic. Please direct me to someone who can give me more information on this as well as clues to how we can help them energetically. I understand that Steve Rother channels this group, and if he can offer any insight I would greatly appreciate it. I have an energy healing practice and I also do therapy with autistic children. I am feeling driven to discover how to help these children energetically so they can interact differently with this world.

Namaste,
Kathryn Chalfant

Dear Kathryn:

I have observed for some time now that these children who are being labeled autistic are at least in part the Children of Crystal Vibration. Have you read Steve Rother's articles on the Crystal Children and my FAQ's and article called The Attributes of the Crystal Child? If not, you would probably find them helpful and illuminating, as might be a number of the articles in the archives. I also suggest calling Steve for a private session with the Group, which just might answer some of your questions.

There is very little info out there on these children and how to best assist them. I am doing some research now to see what I can find, but I do know several things. These children (autistic) are highly evolved and actually "live" in more than one dimension, which is why they seem not to be present all the time. We have not caught up to them vibrationally yet, but I hope that we will soon.

The more difficult attributes of autism seem in many instances to be
triggered by the measles, mumps and rubella shot that is administered when the child is about 15 months old. There is much speculation and research being done about this "outbreak" of autism that we are experiencing and its possible connection to this shot.

Now, my friends in the alternative medical community say that there are homeopathic alternatives to these innoculations, which are not so damaging to sensitive children. Contact a naturopathic physician for more information. They also say that there are healing/energetic modalities which can help them be more comfortable at this time. One of those modalities seems to be cranio-sacral therapy, which is rarely available through traditional health insurance.

I am constantly on the lookout for more information which might help us better assist the children and parents, and I remain open to info from readers.

God bless, Sharyl

Dear Sharyl,

I love all the articles posted about Indigos and Crystal vibration children and adults - thank you. I have two boys aged 10 and 7. I have never thought them to be Indigo children but just this morning I sent a message to Spirit to guide me as to what to do about Ben who has just turned 10. I found myself reading about children of Crystal vibration again - I have read all the articles before but they haven't "clicked" before today.

I am sure that Ben is of Crystal vibration - would that be possible? He has always been really sensitive boy, loves animals and children and needs a lot of time by himself. He sucked his thumb until he started school when he stopped overnight. That is just the way he is - quite psychic too (although it seems to be dimming as he gets older and is more exposed to the world). Lately he has been quizzing me on everything and it feels like he is looking for me to trip up. It is like he doesn't trust me and is testing me every step of the way. He asked me the other day if I have ever lied to him. I am not sure what to do with him and hence my asking Spirit for help.

The other day we went to a spiritual festival where people in alternative therapy fields had stands showing what they did. Ben was overwhelmed, nauseous and had a mild bloody nose. We had to leave and I felt that there was too much energy there for him.

Ben has always loved his father dearly and held him up on a pedestal. His father and I divorced when Ben was 4. His father has not been good at keeping in contact with his boys and this year has been the worst. We moved to New Zealand from Zimbabwe in November last year and his father (who is a New Zealander) moved to Zambia!! We have not had contact with his dad since we moved, except for one answer phone message on Ben's birthday. I don't know how to contact his father and I know Ben is really feeling unhappy because he doesn't hear from Dad.

Ben enjoys being in New Zealand and is happier here, but I just wanted to know if you had any other tips for me, as he is growing up and entering teenage-hood.

His brother Jordan could also possibly be of Crystal vibration - but in a different way. I don't get that Jordan is an Indigo either but he is also a different kind of child. Ben and Jordan are the best of friends and have always been good company for each other. People will always comment on how wonderful my children are because they are considerate and kind and wise beyond their years. I take some credit for them being great kids but it is also just the way that they are - they are naturally sensitive and wise to what is going on around them. They have both always been that way.

Looking forward to some more great articles. Thanks and love to you

Lorna

Dear Lorna:

Thanks for your kind words and we are so glad to have you joining us from New Zealand.

Yes, of course, your son Ben could be a crystal child. From what you say, he sounds like it to me, with the exception of this attachment to hanging on to a father who is not available. In general, Crystals are usually a bit more detached and pragmatic at quite an early age, but as I write this, I am being told that your son is carrying some anger and confusion about the situation with his father, which he will work out in time. Not to worry! If you are willing, let him know that you are available as a sounding board about his father, but in no way are you to take it on as your own. This really is an issue between him and his dad.

You are really lucky that your two children are best friends as this makes it so much easier for you. I know it is not all luck, but I also hear what you are saying about them being just plain good kids. That is how mine were; they came here as good kids. They planned to come in together, which makes being different not quite so difficult.

I also know this syndrome of questioning that Ben is doing! My suspicion is that he is not trying to trip you up, but rather to pin you down. These children do not judge what your belief system is, but they do want to know what it is clearly. They will press you to take a stand, to "know" what it is that you believe or how you feel about something. It is not acceptable to them for you to "fence straddle" as they will do their best to push you off. Yes, even the gentle, sensitive Crystal Children. I will give you an example: When my son was really quite young, he asked me about Creation and how it happened. I told him that some people believed that this is the way it happened and others believed this, etc. etc. " No, no, no," he said, "Tell me what you believe. I want to know!" That doesn't mean that he accepted my belief, he just wanted to know. He would often gently force me to confront "fuzzy" areas in my life.

If in fact you are getting the message that he does not trust you, then you are most likely not being honest with yourself about something and he sees or senses your ambivalence or "lack of integrity" on this issue. Where in your life are your words not matching what he sees in your energy field? He knows when you are telling the truth even when you don't. I know! And my kids were always right when I wasn't being honest, even if I swore that I was being honest.

God bless, you are doing a good job!

Sharyl

Dear Sharyl,

I read your article about the attributes of Crystal Vibration children. I am most definitely an early Indigo and very possibly a Crystal Vibration. I still have trouble sticking around this planet (I've dealt with suicidal thoughts for many years now, as well as a few attempts), but since the birth of my son last year, he's become my reason for staying and finishing whatever my task is. He is very definitely an Indigo also, and he might be a crystal...he's only 16 months now, but WOW is he something else! He is the sole reason right now why I MAKE this work (living on earth) even though sometimes I feel like every fiber of my being is just disgusted and screaming out from the vileness of life here. I don't know why I'm here. I try to remember. I just can't understand why I came back. I truly hate it here. But there is finally light and joy in my life now.

The reason why I'm writing is to ask a question. I've heard people say in different articles that others are often drawn to indigos or crystals, but in my life experience I've had mostly the opposite happen. People seem pushed away from me, almost like the flip side of a magnet. I used to think that I was just really paranoid when I felt like people would stare at me when I was places, even though I've learned to trust my intuition (because it's usually always right), I didn't think that made any sense. But I've been with people before and had them ask me "why is everyone staring at us?" so I know that I must be right when I think they are. Have you ever heard anything like this?

I am a very "normal", ordinary looking 28 year old female. I don't have purple hair or my face all pierced, or anything else that would naturally attract stares. It's hard to live like this, and it makes me feel very insecure and self-conscious, because sometimes I can actually feel the people pulling away, but I can't understand WHY. I have very few friends, and mostly I just have my family. I used to tell myself that God was protecting me, by making people not want to be in my life, but the older I get the less this reasoning works for me. I don't understand why people would feel uneasy about me. Assuming that's what they feel...I've never actually tried to ask someone WHY they don't want to be around me or know me. I know I am quite different inside from the people I meet, but I don't understand how they know that also, because they are in such an infantile stage spiritually, and why their reaction to the difference is to shy away from me, instead of being drawn to me.

I was just curious if anyone else has ever expressed this to you? Please let me know, if so!

Ever Searching for The Truth,

Jenny S.

Dear Jenny:

Yes, in fact, I have heard of this happening, have often experienced it myself, but more often some of my children have. As I read your letter, this is what I saw/felt. You are the light; your light cannot help but shine though. In many, light brings up fear in one way or the other. These ones gaze at you, and since you are sensitive, you feel it and look back at them. You think that they are staring at you in an unpleasant way, but in many instances they are simply curious. "What is it about her?" they ask. For most of your life, you have been conflicted about the planet and other people, even disdainful because it is even physically painful for you to be in a body a lot of the time. In those who feel fear when they see your light, you reflect their fear back to them and that is not something most people are grateful for. In those who are curious, you are assuming that they are staring in an mean way and respond with a "grumpy" energy. What my daughters have found is that when they are carrying unresolved anger within themselves, they draw to them an amazing amount of hostility. I have watched for years at how quickly and intensely they create this. However, when they walk confidently, even gazing at others with a hint of a smile or a word, people literally fall all over themselves to be near them, say something kind to them, ask them a question, etc.

Pay attention in the coming days and try different things and see what the result is. I think in many cases you might be pleasantly surprised. However, remember that for some, just seeing the light will bring up fear.

Thank you so much for writing and many blessings to you and your son.

Sharyl

To Sharyl,

Thank you for your quick response!!!! Your email made perfect sense, and also helped to validate what I've been thinking/feeling, and validation is sometimes very important to a person! I was especially struck by your comment above. I have been unfortunate to experience that not only are people sometimes ungrateful of this, but I've out-and-out had people try to hurt/destroy me on purpose (I don't mean physically, like in kill me, but emotionally/mentally attacking me).

I've always thought it's because I'm a gentle and meek person at heart, but perhaps it's a bit more of what you said than just of that. It's caused me to create a very tough facade to try to protect myself, which makes it even harder for me to express myself correctly/fully, because I'm always trying to cover-up how I'm really feeling, and act unaffected. It's also caused me to be extremely untrusting and very insecure. I try and try to tell myself the things that I KNOW are true: that I'm a very special and intelligent person, that I'm a good person and people should want to know me, that I should not be affected by someone not wanting to know me...but I get so hurt, even though I don't want to be hurt by it, and I just feel all torn up inside by the world.

Until finding out about Indigos earlier this year, I honestly and truly thought I was THE ONLY PERSON ON EARTH LIKE ME! My family has always said "you're just weird" or "what's wrong with you?" Which you can imagine is certainly not very validating! I've tried suicide a few times, only halfheartedly thankfully, because the bottom line is I don't want to DIE, I just don't want to HURT anymore. I have had suicidal thoughts for years, and have even VERY BRIEFLY thought it would be almost more humane to end my life and my son's life now before the world kills him inside and tears him up too...but I would never ever do it, I just think it. I'm so scared I won't be able to protect him from what I've experienced, and that he will be sad and lonely and angry and confused and think about suicide too. I just hope that he's more spiritually advanced than I am, and that he'll be able to remember who he is more than me. I completely believe in multiple lives, but I have no recollection of anything consciously. I wish I could remember, but I feel so blocked. My son is the only joy I have in my life. I feel alone, helpless, angry, hopeless, and I have lost my faith, which the hardest thing of all to deal with. It's so strange to have the greatest joy I've ever experienced in my life (my son) juxtaposed with the greatest agony I've ever felt (my life right now). I don't know what to do. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what I want. I feel like I don't understand anything. And most of all, I'm just so mad! At everyone! At God! At the whole world! I feel like I hate everyone! And I am SO MAD that I'm here. I don't understand why the world is trying to destroy me, because that's what it feels like to me. I really hope this is just a phase...a log in the road, so to speak, that if I could JUST GET OVER IT everything would be fine. I know I'm dumping on you, and I apologize! This is probably the most shutoff I've ever felt from the rest of the world, and I don't know where to turn for help/answers. I'm just not happy, and I'm not at peace, and I really want to be happy and at peace! Can you suggest anything? Say anything? Tell me something that might boost me up just enough to grab the top of this *$#%@*! log????

I don't mean to put any pressure on you, but I feel so desperate inside, so I'm going to take a chance and reach out. Can you help me?

Lost in Darkness,

Jennifer S.

Dear Jennifer:

I read your letter over and over as I could feel the depths of your pain and wondered what I could say to ease it a bit. Probably the line that got to me in the most profound way is "because the bottom line is I don't want to DIE, I just don't want to HURT anymore!" I absolutely know what you are talking about. In recent times, many of us, including me, have been feeling just that way. Yes, a lot of it was my stuff, but the fear and despair coming out of the collective consciousness is pretty overwhelming for those of us who are sensitive. I have to work several times a day to clear my energy fields of junk as well as use many other tools to stay in balance. And some of those tools are not working anymore, so then I set forth my willingness and intention to discover the new tools that are available and will work in these times.

Last night I sent a team of angels to be with you to help you. Please, if you are willing to work with them, welcome them out loud, give them permission and tell them what you have told me. Ask them for help. I have sent quite a variety, including some particularly tough ones that I call Warrior Angels. They are to help you clean up other people's stuff from your body and auric fields, maybe even put a shield around you so you can rest for a bit and sort things out. They will also make sure that someone else's thoughtforms are not contributing to your despair if you ask them and Archangel Michael to do that for you. God bless you and your son and thank you for being here with us at this time.
