On the internet today, there are many self proclaimed light workers, indigo children, rainbow children, or any of a number of different terms they use to describe themselves. These people are allegedly enlightened, or at least on the path of enlightenment, and way more enlightened than normal people. They have been born into this world in order to raise the frequency of the Earth and help mankind to become more enlightened and therefore facilitate an ascension process wherein we pass into a different more enlightened and spiritual dimension or era. I will refer to them as children in the above context for this post even though many of them are now adults. Hopefully when I use the the term “children” you will understand I mean the crystal children or I mean real children depending on the context. The term “children” also has a learning connotation of being young, innocent, and eager to learn new things even if you are an adult.

It is not my intention to define nor explain these terms. I will however summarize the more salient points in order to make my point, which is this: Not many of these children have any critical thinking skills. All of them have taken the easy way out and merely believed whatever appeals to them on an emotional level. And with hardly any work at all, they can miraculously go instantly from ignorant, uneducated people with very little critical thinking skills, to amazing prophets of the future to whose words you must cling to with rapt and ecstatic attention. Some of them make a bit of easy money on this too, but most are just happy to state their cause and bask in the glory that is You Tube. If you are interested, you may Google them and decide for yourself. My own opinion of this is that a lot of people are jumping on the bandwagon and proclaiming themselves as modern day crystal children who are somehow evolved or evolving into something better. In other words, the internet, and more specifically venues such as You Tube, are feeding on themselves, and it seems like every person who has ever imagined being misunderstood or unique or different has suddenly decided that they are one of the chosen, if I can put it that way. They are special crystal children and therefore what they have to say is worth your time to listen.

In general, many claim to be psychic, and they can channel superior entities from another dimension, or perhaps these channeled entities are in this dimension but we just cannot see them because they vibrate too quickly for us. There are some cute metaphors to illustrate why we cannot see them such as how you can see the blades of a fan and you cannot see what is behind the blades, but when the fan is spinning quickly, you cannot see the blades but you can see what is behind them. Some of these self proclaimed crystal children even believe they are Gods, or at least Gods in training and they believe that their thoughts create their reality in the sense that their thoughts and beliefs can alter the natural world to reflect their every desire, even if that desire is one which manipulates the material world. For example, they can control the weather and they can through the power of their own thoughts, cause events and things to happen even if it involves bending other people to their wills. They cannot adequately explain how they deal with their next door neighbor who is also a God who does not want what you want. Perhaps they just duke it out mentally. In this sense their successes stem from their own God-like powers of belief, and their failures stem from their lack of faith and personal power.

In general all of them seem to be good people, teaching, endorsing, and pushing peace and love as the key to our evolution. Almost without exception they claim that they were extraterrestrial souls with previous lives who volunteered to come to Earth to uplift mankind. This was deemed necessary by groups or federations of extraterrestrial entities who are much more spiritually evolved than we are and who want to help mankind achieve enlightenment, because they love mankind. Although in general they have forgotten their previous lives, they have the potential to remember and they are here as sort of spiritual antennae – in effect they are merely receivers that act like some sort of resonance feedback loop effecting the ascension process by raising the average frequency of the planet so that benevolent higher frequencies can prevail thus assuring the shift in frequencies ostensibly peaking in 2012.

Peace and love is good, I will give you that, however I postulate that if there really is a group of more evolved alien peoples who are facilitating our ascension via this crystal child process, then I can probably safely speculate that opposition groups also exist and they also are birthing children into this world to achieve the opposite goal: That of keeping mankind ignorant and therefore susceptible to covert control and domination methods. Both groups have been at it and watching us for eons of time. Sounds like quite a war brewing here, does it not? If this is true, that there are benevolent beings that love us and want to guide us to spiritual ascension, then I find it extremely difficult to believe their claim that they are our friends and want to help us for altruistic reasons. And so should anyone else who is aware of all the assistance we got from these so called enlightened and benevolent extraterrestrial beings during World War II and the Nazi death camps, or during Pol Pot’s genocide, or during the Rwandan wars, or the current South American and Mexican drug cartel atrocities, or any one of countless acts of barbarity that we good people could have used a little help on. But I digress.

Whatever may be the truth, none of these spiritual channelers, psychic advisers, or crystal children, have presented nor are capable of presenting any reasonable objective evidence whatsoever. I am not saying that this is complete bullshit. I do not know if there is any truth to what they say or not. I do know that something strange is going on and that science (real science based on reproducible evidence and observation) is uncovering some really strange things about the nature of the universe and quantum theory (see my post on “The physics of David Wilcock et. al.” – I could add “quantum entanglement to this list of strange stuff but maybe you could save me a whole lot of time by looking that up yourself).

Nevertheless, although modern physics is discovering that we know less than we thought, these spiritual people know even less than that. All we have is their word on what is happening in their heads, and not much else. And I am certain you will find that the evolution of the internet probably closely matches the evolution of these people and that what they say becomes more and more similar because more and more of them are parroting what they see on the internet, especially from You Tube. It would not be an easy task to conclude that the reason for the increase in anything (such as the prevalence of crystal children) is because of more births or because more people are reading about them on the internet which coincidentally has grown at a very similar rate. Per capita comparisons are also not that easy, since the dynamics also change with sample size.

When challenged, many of these children rely on feelings and faith to defend their views and statements, but some of them fanatically oppose any criticism and resort to immature (ie:childish) methods of retaliation. By that I mean that the coping skills and response mechanism are very primitive, such as a child would use. And how do children cope with the world? They respond emotionally, and with manipulation. None of them can present any evidence for any of the more spiritual far out stuff such as telepathy, channeling external invisible entities, and so on. All of them feel special and I suspect they think they are better than the rest of us, even though they make statements to the contrary. I think that is only human of them and all of us are bound to feel special in any endeavor we are good at whether it is something mundane like being a good hockey player to something really special like claiming you are channeling the White Winged Collective Consciousness of Nine, or the Galactic Federation of Light, or Ashtar Command, or a Pleiadian entity or group of entities.

The bottom line here is that it does not matter. Who cares if Pleiadian entities really are speaking with humans telepathically across God knows how many light years, or just invisibly standing beside you and whispering sweet nothings in your ear? I mean we would care if we could prove it. But we cannot. And if it were true that mysterious entities really are speaking telepathically and guiding these children? How do they know that they are not merely being played for a fool and being deceived by entities who are hiding their real agenda? Again, who cares? I am sure that the children would care. And so would we if we could know for sure. But we do not know. So what can we do, those of us seeking truth and finding chaos and confusion? The answer could not be simpler. Just do what really matters.

So what does matter? What matters is peace, love, compassion, tolerance, accommodation, sacrifice, and understanding of not only ourselves, but of the natural world and other beings, both animal and vegetable. Do unto others what pleases you. What does that mean? Well, given that you are not totally insane or mentally ill, that generally means you would not like it if your stuff was stolen, misused, or or if your cat was butchered by your neighbor just for laughs, and you would not like it if someone were to punch the crap out of you, or call you fatso, or murder you. This is pretty basic morality and I should not have to explain it. Practice our shared morality. I am not talking about whether women should be allowed to drive as an example of a moral issue (as is the current law in Saudi Arabia). I am talking about the fundamentals: Food, clothing, shelter, the right of self-determination and freedom. Do not murder or steal, that sort of thing. Pretty basic stuff and free of all religious dogma. Consider the words of people like the Dalai Lama. Read his book, “How to Be Compassionate: A Handbook for Creating Inner Peace and a Happier World”. Because when you have inner peace, you will reflect that in the outer world.

Again, so what if the world is ending in 2012 or if it is instead changing into a blissful paradise? So why run around in a panic wondering whether you should listen to the Pleiadians, or to the Reptilians, or to Ashtar Command? It does not matter as long as you practice compassion and do what is morally right. If you do this, you will not be able to be deceived because you will always be doing right and you will know that if these people tell you things contrary to the principal of love and compassion, you will not be deceived by these “demons disguised as angels of light” to paraphrase an idea from the Bible. Whatever happens is beyond your control anyway, so why not just do what is right all the time? You can view these channelers to you heart’s content on You Tube, with bemused interest, but there is no need to get all worked up about what to do since you already know what to do. Whatever the outcome, you will definitely be looking back and you will either say I did the best I could and tried to be loving and compassionate – and I can prove it by quantitatively demonstrating progress in this area of my life even though I have not been perfect nor am I now perfect – , or I just ran around screaming, and panicking, and wishing I were there already but I’m not there and how do I get there and and – and I got nowhere. Which path would you prefer?

So if I were to ask what is the most important concept to take away from this post, I would have to say that you can ignore the chaos and confusion (because it is irrelevant) if you find inner peace. You find inner peace by practicing love and compassion, firstly for yourself, secondly for others. For yourself because if you cannot love yourself, you cannot love the world. For others because that is what flows naturally from loving yourself. Because if you find inner peace, you will help to change the world. Peace, and Namaste.

I want to correct a huge misconception that people have about this so-called Law of Attraction. For those of you not familiar with this “law”, I am referring to the concept put forth by people who are on the path of enlightenment. This concept is one that has you believing you can control your reality through your thought. The concept has seen many incarnations, mostly variants of the same thing given a new twist by money making scam artists. The “name it and claim it” concept of some evangelical religious groups that claim all you have to do is to believe and you will get what you want is one example. The well known authors of the “The Secret” concept is another. If you are unfamiliar with these then please Google them. I cannot get too sidetracked by explaining everything here. The point is that there are many variants of the idea that you can create your own reality. The fact is, you can and you cannot. The concept is partly true, but the way it is expressed by most people is not true. In fact, many people who present this truth present it in a way that is the exact opposite of what it really is. I am writing this mostly for the people who have good intentions and not so much for the scam artists out there. But before I continue explaining this concept, I need to back up a bit and elaborate a little on who these people are.

Many of these people are well meaning and respected Crystal Children (or however you wish to term these sensitive and receptive people that are trying to help in mankind’s spiritual uplift). By that definition I am a Crystal Child. Having been born in the early 1950′s (1953), I was one of the first Crystal Children to be born, coming in just before the steady but logarithmic increase in the births of these children which began at that time. These children increased in number throughout the 1960′s (the peace and love movement of the hippies), and the 1970′s through today. Crystal Children have always been born into this world, for thousands of years past, but at the time I was born they were very rare. As a consequence, we had no guidance nor any support. Most of us were lost and did not know our purpose, however our very presence pioneered and eased the way for the increase we are seeing today. As a result of the younger generation of Crystal Children, many of us who were born in an earlier generation, including myself, are being helped to see who they really are. These children who are born into this world have a special ability to become enlightened and are very spiritually inclined. Many of them do not fit into any society, let alone a modern one. They generally have a desire to help others and they are under a constant and great pressure to listen to what the universe is saying, as it were. They can feel this pressure, and as a result they are always seeking for spiritual truth, and for alternatives. It is an obsession for them and the universe is relentlessly pushing them to keep seeking the truth.

I cannot really know how many Crystal Children there were at various times in the past in terms of numbers. Perhaps there were many more than I can know. But they were isolated and thus much less effective. Today, the internet is bringing them together and so they seem to be much more present. YouTube and Facebook and the internet in general has been very helpful, even essential, in helping all people make better choices and in helping them to find their own unique path in the universe.

In my case, I have been inspired by Crystal Children such as Crystal Hutchens, and Jessica Shaub to realize my full potential and to clarify what has been a very confusing and difficult childhood in my life. These people have a special ability to reach out and help others with their insights into the universe and into our spiritual natures and they do not mind being thrown into the public spotlight. I cannot do this. Recently, listening to them and evaluating what they had to say, I realized that my role as a pioneer was to monitor and try to correct some of the errors these well meaning people were making in their interpretations. Unlike them, I am extremely reluctant to put myself forth publicly and even this post is me stepping way outside of my comfort zone. But I am content to help and guide the leaders, working more in the background. So I am compelled to correct them in what I feel is a serious mistake. And now, to get back to the main point of this post:

Most people seeking enlightenment believe they can create their own reality through thought. This is true in that your attitude creates your mindset and so if you have a good attitude you can jump on opportunities when they present themselves. Put another way, your desires only seem to create your reality because both consciously and unconsciously, your actions tend to result in you changing your own world to better reflect your desires. So for example, if you wish for and long to visit a foreign country, you will tend to manifest that reality in direct proportion to the intensity of your desire because you will be making choices that tend to support that goal. This is what is actually happening, and it is not that you are actually manipulating the universe as is taught by many.

I could talk forever on this topic but now I have to try to focus and bring this post to an end. There are people who think, in accordance with the false concept that they can create their own reality, for example, that they can wish for rain or sun or maybe for some material thing. It seems more logical to me that rather than you controlling the universe, it is the universe who is controlling you. I am using the term “universe” to avoid religious implications. I do not care if you substitute “universal laws of physics”, “God”, “Ascended Masters”, “Allah”, or “Buddha”. Whatever laws control this is beside the point. I just what to talk about the results rather than tread on religious toes.

Thus, it is the universe who is actively (or passively) directing you towards the correct path, and you are merely following it. If you ignore that path, then you end up in a world of hurt and very frustrated. Again, it is not you who is manifesting the weather, or wishing for sun and getting it. Rather, it is the universe telling you that it will now stop raining and be sunny. You are merely a good listener, and you only think you wished for it. In other words for the moment, you are in harmony with the universe.

If you ignore the correct path for your life, because of your free choice, the universe creates multiple branching paths so that you may at least have the opportunity to find your way back via another route. So when you see that your place in the universe is one of merely making a choice to either go on the correct path the universe wants you to go on (in which case you are a good listener), or to choose the wrong path, the ego is – or can be – neatly sidestepped. Choosing and understanding the correct path neatly sidesteps the ego because your life comes down to a series of choices given or presented to you rather than you creating your choices and plowing through life like a bulldozer. In other words, the selfless choice comes from outside of yourself, whereas your desires come from your ego, from inside.

The “normal” way to look at opportunity is in a self-centered, greedy, and egotistical way. When presented with a lucrative choice of money and fame one tends to think they are somehow great (note I did not say “special” since we are all very special in our own way), or deserving or worthy. In fact, it is the universe which offers you the choice out of necessity. But why would the universe, who loves you very much, take the risk of destroying you by offering you fame or money or power? The answer is simple indeed.

The universe needs you to be famous in order to use you to uplift others, because other people who need to be uplifted rely on the false perception that the famous are worth listening to and emulating. Clearly, many famous people really fail at using their position correctly. This being the case, the universe takes good listeners and gives them choices which often lead to their downfall and to their corruption, because they are re-seduced by their own egos. Of course, the universe gives us all many choices, not merely just for good listeners. It is the purpose of the Crystal Children to wake up those who are not aware of the fact that they do have choices.

In conclusion, I do not know the truth. I do know that real science is certainly true, but also that we, as scientists, do not know anything yet about the true nature of the universe. I am merely reacting to external stimuli in the best way I can. In others words, I am making choices. Hopefully they are the correct ones and I will not, like so many, get lost in the labyrinth of choice. I believe I have sensed or heard this truth as a property of the universe and that it is not something I have created. I merely listened and I repeat what I have heard. The law of attraction as stated or believed by many in which you create your own reality can be viewed as the height of arrogance and of ego. In fact, it is the exact opposite: The universe is controlling and guiding you through free choice. And you need to become a better listener. Namaste.
