Indigo Children

[InvisibleWoman]

? How do yall feel about this concept?

[ClassyElf]

I've read a book that referenced them. From what I understand they are just children with a psychopathic illness. They aren't anything special and they have been around since the dawn of time. They might be increasing lately, but only because psychopathy can be a very desirable trait in human reproduction.

if the indigo children are real, they have reached adulthood. they were supposed to be born from mid 80s to the 90s. if this young generation can pull the modern world out of its ass, then sure, I'll call it indigo but the idea of parents telling their young kids "your more special than other kids because youre indigo" is silly

[Xaqaria]

It sounds like the parents are projecting their need to be special on to their children. These new age types are constantly looking for reasons why they are different than the rest of the world. One of the people who started the indigo children thing, Lee Carroll, "...was an economics major who ran a technical audio business for 30 years until a visit to a psychic prompted a New Age midlife crisis." (source) After being a completely normal guy for 50 years or so, all of a sudden he starts 'channeling' an alien named Kryon who tells him that indigo children are real, "love is the most powerful force in the entire universe," and that he should go on tour to give self help seminars.

Wow I was totally an indigo child growing up according to the wikipedia description. But my parents were more on the belief that I was an annoying, stubborn jackass.

I just read a bit about it, seems weird. Just curiuos, Is there anyreason why you brought it up? Why, don't you know? I am THE Indigo Child. I just happened to come accross the concept this past week and was curious about peoples opinions torwards it. That's all, I swear.

There seems to be a lot of talk about the world 'changing' in the near future (2012) and a lot of metaphysical ideas catching on in the public. I don't have the capacity to write something long and explanatory right now, but what I want to say is I think we are propelling ourselves to change; it's self-initiated. Society brought about the idea of humans 'evolving' and are now telling children they are 'indigo/crystal' children on a mission. The potential to change is being created. I think.

Yeah seems to be the case, apparently I'm an indigo child as well, sounds all a bit new agey, hopefully the world does pull its head out of its ass soon. Fortunately the American economy is doing this for us

Do we, do we know? Sounds like a song. You could make music.

I agree people are creating this reality where these massive changes are to take place. People need to take some responsibility, they think a consciousness shift will come in the form of aliens coming down and enlightening us or natural disasters bringing people together or our minds will just open up to intergalactic light, etc... We are doing this to ourselves and it is a completely proactive process. The more people feed conspiracy theories, the more they make them a reality. The more people think martial law is going to come, the closer our world falls toward a fascist take over. It's not about preparing, it's what yur emotions and desires bring you, and usually this conspiracy nonsense is self serving because everyone wants to know the TRUTH. Honestly, human beings are just not very spiritually advanced by in large. It's not society programming people to eat fatty foods or drinking sodas that are wearing their bones or sitting in front of the tv or computer all day. People are afraid, and so they cling to distractions. The roman cabal didn't make a colloseum in order to corrupt people, they were craving a colloseum. The people are to blame, and always have been.

Maybe people are becoming more aware of what they are capable of, making it seem like an invasion of indigos.

Considering that the concept of an aura is bullshit to begin with, I would have to just go and say that "indigo" children are as well. The behavorial traits probably suggest shifting societal attitudes in parenting and other walks of life, more realistically than claiming that people glow in the dark.

I think the concept of auras could be equitable to the nonvisual aspect of reading someones emotions. Is that bullshit? Other than your inability to see one, what proof do you have?

I think the concept of auras could be equitable to the nonvisual aspect of reading someones emotions. Is that bullshit? No, but reading people's emotions is entirely different than saying somebody glows indigo like a christmas light. Other than your inability to see one, what proof do you have? I can say with certainty that the soul does not exist. Mainstream depictions of the soul make claims that violate fundamental laws of nature. Therefore, auras cannot exist. Besides the fact that it's all new age bullcrap to begin with. There's no way to do a viable study on something that violates fundamental principles of nature, so why should I believe that any of these colors mean what people say they mean, assuming they exist to begin with?

What about alternate depictions of the soul that don't involve duality?

[Rakjavik]

On the subject of supernatural auras. James Randi debunked at least one of em. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39PM03iVbqE

ARE-OH-EF-EL @ INDIGO CHILDREN. I've a question for InvisibleWoman, if she ever comes back to this thread. Why did you ask our opinion's on this topic since Indigo Children are supposedly supposed to be able to read minds, or some other garbage super power? I read the article over Indigo Children on Wikipedia. As soon as I saw the picture and read the first paragraph, the first thing I thought of was the movie Rain Man, y'know the one with the autistic guy in it that seems like a super math genius. Then I scroll down to the section "characteristics and beliefs," and holy shit look what I found: Some beliefs hold that they are often labeled with the psychiatric diagnoses of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Dyslexia, and also Autism, and that they become unsociable when not around other Indigo Children. They are also believed to be prone to depression and sleep disorders such as insomnia and persistent nightmares. Indigo children also possess defining characteristics in learning; indigos tend to be more visual, kinesthetic learners so remember best what they can picture in their brain and create with their hands. Movement is required to keep them better focused. I knew something was going to be tied with Rain Man here, I must be an Indigo Child!!!!!!!

You can say with certainty that the soul does not exist huh? Than you make a blanket claim that a soul violates the fundamental laws of nature, which is nonsense. And give no evidence... Believe whatever you will, ain't gonna change anything. Auras have been talked about for ages... along with souls.. their not just "new age" concepts.
