The 
          Crystal Children
          
          Doreen Virtue, a leading metaphysical researcher who has been closely 
          involved with the children, has recently released a book entitled The 
          Crystal Children. The ‘crystals’ have been incarnating 
          for only the last seven years, whereas the ‘Indigo’s’ 
          and the ‘Super-psychics’ have been with us for twenty five 
          or so years and the ‘Blue-Rays’ have been with us for between 
          fifteen and twenty years. 
        Virtue explains 
          that the Indigo’s have mashed down the old systems to open a path 
          for an entirely new generation: " It's not surprising that 
          the generation following the Indigos are incredibly telepathic. Many 
          of the Crystal Children have delayed speech patterns, and it's not uncommon 
          for them to wait until they're three or four years old to begin speaking. 
          However, parents tell me they have no trouble communicating with their 
          silent children – far from it! The parents engage in mind-to-mind 
          communication with their Crystal Children (even before birth). And the 
          Crystals use a combination of telepathy, self-fashioned sign language 
          and sounds (including song), to get their point across".
          
          This new breed are also often labelled as dysfunctional. Where the Indigo’s 
          get labelled with ADD and ADHD, the Crystals are labelled as autistic. 
          Is it just a coincidence that autism is at a record high? An autistic 
          person appears lives in their own world and are disconnected from other 
          people. They do not talk because they are indifferent about communicating 
          with others. Crystal Children are quite the opposite. They seem to be 
          very caring and compassionate and continue the traits of the Blue-Rays, 
          by showing signs of an ability to heal others. 
          
          In her previous book on the children, The Care and Feeding of Indigo 
          Children, She wrote that “ADHD should stand for Attention 
          Dialled into a Higher Dimension”. This would more accurately 
          describe that generation. In the same vein, Crystal Children don't warrant 
          a label of autism; “they aren't autistic they're AWE-tistic!”according 
          to Virtue.
          "These children are worthy of awe, not labels of dysfunction. 
          If anyone is dysfunctional, it's the systems that aren't accommodating 
          the continuing evolution of the human species. If we shame the children 
          with labels, or medicate them into submission, we will have undermined 
          a heaven-sent gift. We will crush a civilisation before it has 
          time to take roots"
        This last statement 
          is more profound than was probably intended. These children could be 
          the new root race that is shaping up on planet Earth. They could be 
          the new prototype of the human race, and we are the ones who are giving 
          birth to them. Both 
		
		Gordon Michael Scallion and 
		
		Edgar Cayce predicted 
          that the fifth root race would appear around the time of the late twentieth 
          century.
