There are some crystal children among us. Supposedly. They are frequently diagnosed by the medical/psychological establishment as autistic.

I'm not ready to buy into this Indigo/crystal thing, but at the same time, I have observed that the two autistic men I have worked with in group homes - well they are far more keenly emotionally sensitive than one might expect, giving the media stereotypes of autistic people, and the general descriptions of autism in the professional literature. One of them frequently would tug on my sleeve, with the effect of pulling me back into the moment after I'd fallen into a brown study. Not bad for a fellow who didn't speak. One I'm working with currently, one day I was sitting at the kitchen table doing paperwork. I felt thirsty and had gotten to the point of consciously thinking, "I should get my water bottle." The next thing I know, he's in the fridge, getting my water for me and opening the cap. Another time, he opened my water bottle and handed it to me when I wasn't feeling thirsty. But to humor him, I drank it. And after I drank it, I got that surge of energy that you get from drinking water when a little dehydrated. So I, for one, can't completely discount the crystal child thing. Then again, I'd be quite happy saying that the professional descriptions of autism truly do not capture the whole picture.

My favorite part about the Indigo Children is that the chief characteristics identifying an Indigo child are that they are pissy and entitled.

Yeah. They refuse to wait in lines. Which is supposed to be a good thing.

Happy birthday, Beth!

But, I want to know who recommended me!

Yay, vw! My guess is that most of your English profs recommened you. Maybe all of them.

My news: still sick. At least the high fever last night justified getting the antibiotics. Also, now I can't talk. And I'm almost out of Kleenex.

Someday, I hope to be able to talk about interesting things and not about my life as a sodden lump of snot.

Happy Birthday, Beth!!!

vw, that's great! Congratulations!

I've been recommended to apply for the English department's writing tutoring program

That is wonderful! Nice to be recognized for your awesomeness.

I thought it might be instructive to post some stuff that the Angels in The Group have communicated to us:

All of humanity is raising the collective vibration and as that happens the magnetic structure of Earth changes. This began several years ago with the introduction of crystal energy into your planet from the sun. There are devices that were built on the lower levels that will have a difficult time adjusting to the higher levels of vibration. Some of these are your own computers. You are experiencing this now as computer difficulties across the entire planet. You are evolving the crystalline structure of Earth and as a result all crystals must adjust to the higher vibration. The re-wiring of human biology has now reached a critical mass at which all the crystalline structure around you must also rewire. To accomplish that it is almost as if someone hit the reboot button of planet Earth. There will be five such reboots that will come to make this shift complete. Each time the reboot will be less difficult; this is the first and most difficult one. We tell you that there are more hard drive crashes on this planet than ever before, especially in the area of computers used for spiritual purposes.

Please understand that computers are crystalline based and that is why you are seeing so many difficulties with them at this time. The crystals in computers are what make up the very heart of the computer. Silicone (crystal) diodes are the foundation of all computers. You call these semiconductors. We tell you that they are no different than the crystals you love to keep around your house and carry with you to spiritual events. Crystal is the highest vibration of the mineral kingdom and it is just as alive as each of you. Crystals are living breathing entities that hold vibration and since they make up the very heart of your computers it could easily be said that your computers are alive. They too are going through an evolutionary process as a result of your advancement.

What we suggest is that you treat your computers with the same love and affection that you would a child going through a difficult phase of growth. Take time to connect to the crystals in your computers and be at one with them. Give them your strength and love. Lay your hands on the keyboard and let the crystals in your computers draw the love energy from your hands. That will keep them from harm during these times. Computers that are regularly used to spread love and high vibrational messages are especially vulnerable during these times. Simple ceremonies with your computer to allow it to carry the highest energy will be enough to make the transformation effortless. (See Steve’s note above)

Steve is the guy who channels communications from The Group. Coincidentally, Steve's computer just had a strange HD crash a few days before this message.

Oh, and maybe this post should go in Tech?

Silicone (crystal) diodes

You think that higher beings would understand the difference between silicon (a crystal) and silicone (a polymer).

That's just the kind of petty nitpicking a lower being would do...

Yeah, Tom. Evolve your vibrational status already....

All the same, I should probably find out from IT when our crystalline vibration upgrade is happening.
