being that everything must have an opposite...would it be possible to have an Anti-Crystal, or an Anti-Indogo child. One might assume these would be normal children however what about someone with exactly the same traits that seeked to cause turmoil and chaos rather than the empathy and peace these children strive to create?
Would an Anti-Crystal child be able to use their empathy to find the one thing that would most hurt a person and make them cry in four words...
Or perhaps this is a crystal that is misusing their abilities or is overly conditioned to the world and thus has taken on some standard human responses?
What's your take on it?

This is an interesting idea, but I think the attitudes that would lead to such misuse of gifts would prevent too much psychic development. I think, part of what happens when you shift to crystal is that you gain knowledge and understanding, so maybe the opposite of a crystal would be someone with less knowledge and understanding than usual.

I tend to think the opposite was already here.
Well, not so much an opposite. But the balance.
There are many compassionate and empathic people now. But there are just as many, if not more, who aren't. People who can kill just because of ignorance and racism.. Well.. I don't like to think about it.

You see, it is strange because what you say contradicts itself. "Is it possible for a crystal child to use its empathy to hurt others..." well, plausibly I suppose it's true, I always know exactly what will hurt someone, but another very important part of crystal is being full of love, so it is impossible. A crystal child could not hurt someone like that, because then they would not be crystal - and if it were ever to happen, the person who was hurt would be finding themselves showered in love and gifts very soon from a very guilty crystal. Lol.
The opposite balance of a crystal child would simply be someone who does not have their awareness, for instance - the red vibration. Take that red vibration and fill it with hate and pain, and they can become everything you talked about; give them a bit of intuition and cunning, and a bit of bad intention and ambition, and you have the counter point of crystal.
I would not call it "anti-crystal" though... perhaps more of a less experienced soul.

Hm I guess what I meant to say is...perhaps it's best explained through a siutation...
A Crystal child is at school, and a person is picking on them, they ignore it and try to shy away from the argument...but finally the person pushes them over the edge, trhe Crystal child, knowing exactly what will hurt the person most, says it, and in about 5words makes the person break down in tears, and physically assult them...The Crystal takes the blame for this, namely because the teachers feels the child was in the wrong.
I'm just curious what happens if a crystal, or indigo misuses their powers like in the above situation...I'm not talking direct oposite...I guess i'm talking more a polar opposite...
It's true pain and depression can change a person, perhaps seeing as crystals are so sensitive pain and depression can change them into becoming more cold, or even absorb this from around themselves in essence becoming 'evil' (too strong a word I know)

Hmm. You gave me a flashback Caerai..
.. Not a pretty one I'm afraid. In fact it is pretty much the above situation you described.
I was around.. hmm. 9 I think. There was a girl in my class who had been picking on me a lot. Poking fun of the way I looked. Saying all answers I were giving were wrong and generally bullying. Mental bullying I believe would be the term.
.. Now. I'm not proud of this. And I regretted doing it practically the moment after I said it. To this day I'm still not proud of it. It wasn't a nice thing to do at all.. So I hope you won't judge me on it. I was young. Being picked on. Knew exactly what would upset them and had, as you said, been pushed over the edge. ... Now.. This girl only had one parent, and I knew it, and I knew she had wanted her other. In the moments I'd snapped I spitefully exclaimed: "At least I have two parents!"
It was in pure malice. I really do have to reiterate.. I am in no way proud of what I did. Even then, I felt terrible for saying it seeing the look on her face as she ran off... tears down her face. I wanted to apologise. Of course I had repercussions of others.
Her friends. Telling me that was incredibly unfair. Demanding to know what was wrong with having one parent. Then the teacher in the class. well.. Needless to say, I felt bad enough, and these others engraving into me how bad it was was a "bonus"... if you'll excuse the word.
I'd like to point out, looking at the above post, I didn't do anything physical. It was just that one cruel sentence.
Having had that experience. And pondering upon your statement:
"I'm just curious what happens if a crystal, or indigo misuses their powers like in the above situation"
Of course this is only my personal experience, but I felt miserable. Utterly. And I couldn't consider doing something like it again.

The person in the above situation was me ;p. It seems we've all done stuff like that though...I felt horrible too, I wasn't allowed to sit with my friends for the rest of the year...which of course made me hate the teacher for doing something I saw as 'unjust" well not hate, it's too strong of a word 'dislike'.

Only unfair treatment I can recall in my history (of this life, I have no idea about others) is mainly bullying by other (more notably, bigger) students when I was in secondary school. Of course now the bullying is over. But there is a useless tidbit of my childhood

Well, opposites in this case are quite impossble, as the opposite of human is human. ^___^ Crystal children are not perfect; they can be just as manipulating and unkind as any other human being... but they also have the potential to be loving, just like every other human. So, humanity has the choice... it's not really a question of opposites, as nothing is perfectly aligned to a specific "side". lol.

I always felt the opposite of human was sub-human. A human in body and mind, but not in heart or spirit.
