A while ago I wrote a post about the variety of different labels we use to describe something similar or identical: starseeds, starkids, hybrids, indigoes, etc. My point was that because of this, the community is not as united as it might be if we had a universally-accepted common term. Additionally, some people may be missing out on support and the opportunity to network, because they're searching for different terms.

There's an interesting and related question. Are any of these terms inherently more positive or negative than others, even if it's just a matter of perception? Words like starseeds and indigoes seem to me to be lovely words that have a nice sound to them. I'm not so sure about hybrids. Perhaps it's because it carries with it the implication of genetics, breeding and laboratories, even if only at a subconscious level. Maybe it's because it sounds similar to "half breed" - though maybe "high bred" would be another potential implication? But for whatever reason, maybe some people are reluctant to use the term.

Is this an issue with anyone here? I'm a great believer in personal freedom and I think people should use whatever label they feel is most accurate (I know the situation is complicated by there being slightly different definitions of some of these terms, depending on who you ask) and whichever label they feel most comfortable with. But I can't help but think that hybrid still has a slightly negative feel to it, even though I think it should be a badge of honour. Maybe we should stress the positive aspects more, and even try to reclaim the word, as the gay rights movement did with the word "queer", which they turned from an insult to a proudly self-applied term? Does any of this matter, or am I making too much of mere words? What do people think?

  • I think it is a matter of personal perception. Some feel comfy about it, some are not yet ready to accept their divinity and gifts that come with it.

    I say, lets not pay too much attention to titles and names for common couse.

    We all have that in common ; we strive to same reality while many use different terms.

Christopher Lee as Dracula was scary, some of those really old movies are much scarier than modern ones."
