Is that so..

yes it is so....

why?

I fit the descriptions/surveys, etc... 100% but the kicker is... I'm not "indigo." I'm a human being that has emotions just like everyone else. I know about the alleged existence of people who think they are indigo, but the fact of the matter is there's nothing to show any true difference in humans as a whole. We all experience emotion, a great deal of people have religious/spiritual experiences. A whole hell of a lot of people don't like the "system" and wish to break away from it.

Rebellion has always existed. It's human nature to want to be recognized as an individual. But there's an undying need to be part of a group with like interests/beliefs as well.

I don't believe in indigos for a very simple reason. There have always been people in this world that either believe or have claimed to be something they are not. There is such a thing as "false prophecy." These types of people have always existed. There has always been someone out there who claims to be on a higher level of existence than the rest of us. Thousands of premonitions, allegations, prophecies.... and there are websites out there that list a lot of these things. Every generation believes something special is going to happen, and guess what? It never happens. History repeats itself right before our eyes, and still, these things are ignored.

People think I'm harsh for not believing in this, by the way I state my reasoning as matter of fact "without research." It's an assumption that I don't read up on these things. The fact of the matter is that I have read about this extensively. I HAVE done my research, and all I can see, again, is history repeating itself, generation after generation. Just look at the hippies. As stupid as it sounds. Hippies were a peace-loving bunch, many of which believed they had more insight than the rest of humanity. They hated war, they were all about love. They rebelled. They didn't want to be part of the system. They thought they were wise beyond their years. This is something every teenager experiences.... they feel that they understand more than their parents. "Mom and dad don't understand me." As much as the "indigo" people don't like to hear it, you're the same as the rest of us. Since I've already mentioned hippies, I'll also bring up goths, and emos. I'm not trying to bust balls here. But look at the characteristics. They're all the same.

Think long and hard about the list of requirements, so to speak, about what makes someone "indigo." More than likely, nearly every person on earth has always, and will always fit many, if not all but a small percentage of these characteristics. A human is a human, and that's all it boils down to.

I can guarentee without a shaow of a doubt that this phase will pass, and something else will come along. You can argue with those of us who do not believe until you're blue in the face, but until some honest to God, "coming to Jesus" event happens that proves there really is something special, there's no point in dragging this out any longer.

Someone mentioned saying they had a pet dragon, and the argument against that was "that's not paranormal." Might not be paranormal, but it is still an outlandish claim that deserves equal attention. If the claim is made, proof needs to be brought forth. It has nothing to do with what IT is. If you cannot prove it, then please do not make the claim.

I do not have a pet dragon, therefore, I will not say that I have one.

You nutter! I quoted you, and it was THAT that I was referring to. Not your posts in general. You made me laugh (in a "haha" way, not out of sarcasm) that's all.

No. I didn't listen to a word you said, but I did read it.


I'm the same as Mind Freak. I didn't really come on these "Indigo" threads to throw direct accusations at anyone. It's something that caught my eye and I found it interesting - with or without belief - and I was game to ask about it, albeit I don't go along with everything.

I did the Indigo test possibly a couple of months ago. It didn't fit me 100% (I don't experience rage to the mentioned extent, the magnetic thingy (unless you include using a spot-welder? ) and there was one other ... can't remember).

Everything you mentioned above (although I haven't had MANY spiritual experiences) is exactly how I am. But I just don't understand why I should assume this to be anything other than the average human?


100% - 95%.

So far, I'm with Knightmeir.

Knightmeir plz know I would be most happiest if you never quoted me or spoke to me again. You dont really make your points very well and you miss mine. When you talk you are missing so much of the picture there isnt really a reason for you to talk you do not add or take away from my thoughts.

Oh and you did make 1 clear point.

I fit the descriptions/surveys, etc... 100% but the kicker is... I'm not "indigo." I'm a human being that has emotions just like everyone else. I know about the alleged existence of people who think they are indigo, but the fact of the matter is there's nothing to show any true difference in humans as a whole. We all experience emotion, a great deal of people have religious/spiritual experiences. A whole hell of a lot of people don't like the "system" and wish to break away from it.


Dude some people are fat some are slim, some are wise some are dull. Cant you understand this? Indigo is only a label foolish people have given our breed! @@D Dont talk anymore please you write to long about things we allready have talked about.

ERRRRR I am growing tired of stating the obvious! If we all fit the description I put up there than this world would have no problems now would it?


I doubt this is your one goal in life, you would understand better if you met me.

6. Have established it as my goal in life to help make this world a better place at all costs (even death).

Okay, so how did you come to the above conclusion?

Would never know it from your posts.
The only thing you understand is how to have a good fantasy life.

Just to let you know. I drive a huge pimped out gas guzzler. I must be brainwashed.

1. Then do not reply to anything I have to say. By doing so, you are continuing the conversation. All of my points were made VERY well, I might add. I'm not missing any of the picture. As I stated previously, I HAVE done my research. I made that statement so it would be understood that my comments and beliefs aren't unfounded, biased, and blind as some of those that are made here based on nothing but hearsay. There's no reason for me to talk? And you are....?

2. Again, All of my points are clear and concise. I don't make vague references or stupid comments based on ONLY what I think. I've weighed what I know to be true and have decided to choose a path in life that suits me, based on realistic goals and examples.

3. I understand quite a bit. I've experienced much in life and have enough experience to gain understanding. What you do not understand is that no matter how much you, or any other person claims to be "indigo," or special in some manner via psychic or spiritual ability, the proof simply isn't there. I'd go blind reading the amount of times people have requested proof from these people, and from the negative responses generated by it. When asked for proof, it's always negative, "I don't want to talk to you anymore, you don't understand." Then make me understand. Make the rest of us understand. Stop spewing claims and figure out a way to bring this subject to light. It bothers me that so many people believe in it, yet no one steps forward and shows someone something. Furthermore, you do not have the right to tell me whether or not I can speak. This is a public forum, and I am, just as you are, a registered member. My posts are long because I like to make my points clear. I don't speak in "l33t" or AOL-speak to abbreviate. When I make my points, I write them out in plain English for everyone to understand.

This isn't meant to flame, and I've been *TRYING* to keep my posts toned down from being considered as such. If I can do it, then I expect you to remain civil as well. If you don't like the fact that everyone is allowed to respond to what you say, then speak to a mod and have them delete your account because guess what, you're in a public forum.

EDIT - By the way, you stated that you are trying to make this world a better place by all means, even if it meant death, right? Do you think you're going to get anywhere by telling people to shut up?

omg is this argument STILL going on??? I thought it had died down already.
*sighs*

Thats not a conclusion its a doubt and I only guess. Most people dont care more about everyone els than themselves.

Oh and for the snobby guy with the truck: You selfish asshole my lungs hurt for your sh**ty truck. If you have so much money buy a hybrid car. If I were you Id invest my 250k a year as you so put it into something usefull not my mansion. I understand you are brainwashed enough to think its ok to own a truck though. Fine fine go smoke another ciggeratte than.

exponential_sly_de, can you honestly see anything wrong with what ^ they're ^ saying? I can't. In fact, I think they're being completely open, and in no way have shown any offense towards anyone. Why do you take it so badly?


Your "guess" is way off. I wouldn't "die" to make this world a better place, but I sure as hell care - in every way possible. In my opinion, we'll all be dead before the world is made better. It's our own fault that the world is in this condition.


? Do you think this helps anything?

Thanks Tornado : )

exponential_sly_de,

Cursing and the use of obscenities is not tolerated here. Keep your comments civil or your participation here will cease. Everyone is reminded to keep their focus on the topic at hand, personal remarks and observations are irrelevent in these discussions, debate the issue not the person holding an opposite opinion.

MM

Edit; removed remark.

ericraven2003,

What part of my last post didn't you understand? If you have suspecions regarding other members, address them to a mod. Any other irrelevent remarks by anybody will bring harsh consequences, lets keep that in mind.

MM

haha you said something bad about me in response to that beautiful message I posted?

well arnt we just delinquents

No, I 'edited' your beautiful remark. My patience wears thin, people, suspensions will be handed out shortly.

Rofl, Indigo Children, that is just pitiful.

Tornado, you are welcome to ask questions. The more you ask...the more we all learn. It is not yet an exact science...but I will try to answer as many questions as I can. A year ago I did not know of the existence of "Indigo". In other words I thought I was unique in the way I perceived things, now I know there are many others that think the same.

This question might seem a bit stupid, lol; but if Indigo's claim to have the ability to see auras (indigo aura being the colour of an Indigo Child), how do they know they're not getting the colour indigo mixed up with other shades of blue - or any other related colour? I mean, an average person would look at the colour amber yet at a first glimpse, they would see it as orange.

Firstly, I have seen auras, but I do not study them.

I think women find it easier to distinguish between different colours of the spectrum. The term Indigo Child was more than likely coined by a woman.
Personally, I would've called them Blue Children, but that's only because us men are terrible at pinpointing a colour.

Go to a paint store and and choose some paint for a room with your partner. My girlfriend will call it something like Milky Tea...I just call it Beige.

So, women might be better at reading auras as they can accurately identify the colour, whereas us men might refer to it as the closest colour we actually know the name for.



I have a theory for why men and women see things differently:
(It's my own opinion.)

Men have a smaller peripheral vision than women, but they can judge distance more accurately.
This might have been a direct result of their roles in the hunter-gatherer era.

Men used to hunt and thus needed to judge distances accurately and also be able to isolate the prey by only focussing on it.

Women used to gather and needed a wider peripheral vision, that is more attuned to different colours in order to find berries in the bush. This would also help them to not pick poisonous fruits or berries. Women were also more at risk in dangerous situations and this wider peripheral vision would have alerted them sooner if there was a dangerous predator in the area.

Men were less vulnerable to predators and were able to defend themselves better, so their peripheral vision did not develop the same way, as they still needed their vision for hunting purposes.

It is only a theory, but I think it would explain the differences between how men and women see things.


My conclusion: Have your aura read by a woman.

This still fails to explain how you see any auras in the first place though...seeing colours better, is one thing but seeing something completly ouside your normal visual spectrum is another. Many people claim that their brain is "special" and they can actually percieve them...unfortunately that would take a special receptor and not a brain (ie specialised eye) to do it.

Conclusion: a bunch of bull....

What if someone is found to have a blue/indigo aura, yet they don't show any other signs of being an Indigo? Would they still be classed as an Indigo Child/Adult? Is it a rare thing to have an indigo aura (I know you said you don't study auras - this part is aimed at anyone who may know). I personally have no idea about auras.

Well I would imagine that if you had a blue/indigo aura you would have certain traits of Indigo. For one your personality might be similar to an Indigo even if you don't have any of the other traits.

Personally, I don't think that the Aura makes the person. I think the person makes the Aura. In other words if you had a specific nature and depending on your health and emotional state, you would produce an aura in response to that. It is not to say that a different mix of emotions and personality type cannot produce an aura similar to the type an Indigo might have. I will leave this to the Aura experts...lol.

All I am trying to say is...The colour of the Aura is not the determining factor in the way the person behaves and the beliefs the person holds. Instead, the aura is created in response to it and emotional state and health play a huge factor.

I cannot tell you much about the inner workings of the eye. What I do know though, is that I have hyper-sensitive eyes. I cannot go outside without sunglasses. 5 Minutes is enough to give me a headache. I also see extremely well in the dark. This might not make me unique as I am sure many people are the same. What I do know quite a bit about is photography and although you cannot see UV light directly with the camera lens, you do get UV light degrading the final result by coming into the lens. The lens is based on the same principles as the eye and functions using similar techniques.

So, forgetting the signs going by the Indigo Test; what exactly lead someone to come to the conclusion that there is something "different" about these people (Indigos)?

I'll explain what I mean (scenario):

I could be in my early teens and developing an attitude. Along with that, I may show some talent in the 'musical' department, be good at writing and play a lot of sports. I could be/act wise and in some ways spiritual, yet come across as very depressed and shy.

My mum could take me to a counsellor to discuss these symptoms/traits. They'll also get me talking about my talents, hobbies and spiritual state.

Even though I am showing no signs of being different to many other kids my age, the counsellor does some research and later proceeds to tell me that I show signs of being anything BUT average. In fact, I am a new breed of human being.

How did the counsellor come to that conclusion?

In other words, how did ... whoever it was, come up with the idea that this new "breed" (if I should word it that way?) do in fact exist?

Because that thought comforts them tornado. If there was any sense in what these people are talking about, some sort of actual difference would have been presented other than signs of puberty. Then again I am not sure they actually read or are aware about those....

I found some rather interesting information that I posted in the "star children" topic which goes hand-in-hand with this topic. Basically, from the hardcore believers, indigos weren't born earlier than 1977, period. So I think it's funny that some of these folks are claiming they are indigo, without research. This makes it even more difficult for me to believe in this.

I don't want to post all the same info, but if you wish to check it out, it's in the star children thread.

Whether you think of Indigo as just a new "label" for Psychic or not does not matter. In the end what does matter to the person in question is that they know they are different. They have always known. This is not something they just decided one day. It is because of my difference that I am "Indigo" - Indigo does not cause my difference.

Let me explain. I have always known that I was different from my friends and classmates in many ways. Things I used to feel and experience never happened to them. It is only about a year ago that I realized that there are many other people who experience and feel things in the same way I do. It really makes no difference what you would like to label these individuals. It really does not matter. Call them Indigo, "Star Children", Crystal or Psychic.
The names you call them does not define them.

The term Indigo was apparently coined by Lee Carroll. Whether it is a new name for an old label does not concern me. What do concern me are the characteristics of these individuals.

Whether or not a councillor or psychiatrist decided to ascribe you to a new breed, it is for the councillor to decide that on scientific repitition of unique traits only found in those individuals.

This could have been done on the same basis they ascribe people to different personality traits. Enough people with a very specific attribute could be a Type A personality etc. etc.

And to Kneightmeir, I was born in 1975. I don't think anyone can say with absolute certainty that Indigos only existed after 1977 unless there was a worldwide scientific study on the matter. Our history is inaccurate enough to overlook facts...take ancient civilizations for instance. There are many discrepanies of thousands of years, let alone a discrepancy of 2 years.

There is no discrepancy. The alleged indigo classification is based on alignments of planets which won't happen again until 2157. According to this, indigos were born AFTER 1977. If you can prove that the planets were aligned in this manner in 1975, then there would be room for debate here, but that's simply not the case.

Now they say that "crystal children" are those born after the year 2000. Why? Why the year? Who has deemed 2000 to be THE year for this?

Answer: The term "Indigo children" was coined in the year 1999/2000. Funny how Lee Carroll's book was published at the same time. This opens the door for "Crystal Children." The new version of Indigo, with a hint of "warrior-like" attributes on the side. New name, more books, more money. http://www.kryon.com/Leebio.html

Note the name of the site above. Kryon. I bet my life on the fact that most of the people on this forum claiming to be indigos have NO IDEA what "Kryon" is. Lee Carroll claims to be a channeller for a spiritual being, some believe to be angelic, named "Kryon."

Oh, and now it gets even better. Lee Carroll claims that Kryon told him that there would be guides coming to earth via gamma bursts from the sun. There would be 144,000. hmmmm sounds like a number taken from the Bible, and guess what, he's talking about the end times children. LOL

http://www.newtimes.org/issue/9603/kryon.html

What is he referring to here about 12:12? December 2012? Say it isn't so.

Here's another wonderful site that goes into some detail about all of this:

http://selectsmart.com/twyman.html

...and from that site, here's another list of new age names:



The text in bold above, I placed in there.

Words from Lee:

http://www.newtimes.org/issue/9704/97-04-kryon.html

QUOTE

Lee: Kryon is a spiritual entity who has come to change the grid structure of the planet. This will allow for more enlightenment as a gift of this new age. He has told us that the grid structure is related to the "veil," and this will give us more enlightenment. He comes with a message that we have changed our future...that is why he is here. Kryon says that the future is a moving target to this day, and that is why the predictions of Nostradamus, Gordon Michael Scallion and many others - old and new age prophets - are falling by the wayside.

So, if the future is a moving target, how is it, that in the very same interview he makes a prediction about aliens visiting us today won't be the same we actually "meet" in the future?

Some claim that indigos have longer life spans as well. Interesting. How is it that one human is genetically EQUAL to every other human can somehow outlast everyone else? Not happening.

I'd also like to note that I've been noticing contradictions on a lot of these indigo sites, mainly because the people who write this stuff really have no idea what they think they are, or what indigo is supposed to mean.

If you read what Lee Carroll has to say, it's some seriously off-the-wall stuff. Much of it is vague psuedo-psychology. Supposedly he began channelling for this spirit "kryon" because a psychic told him about it. David Koresh had followers too.

What it all comes down to is most of these people have no idea where the term indigo came from, what it means, and they have no idea who the person is behind the term. They're basing who they think they are on the words of a guy who says he speaks to a spirit named Kryon.

The traits associated with indigos are the same as normal, human emotions, actions, feelings, etc... Nothing has substantiated the claims of psychic ability. All Lee has done is found a way to give parents an excuse to remove themselves from roles of responsibility to allow their children to walk all over them. Lee calls these children "guides" but what can they guide if they have no guidance to begin with? They have no mentors, their teachers are feeding them loads of garbage that does not give them the ability to apply logic for practical application. You know, like going to school, doing homework, finding a job, etc...

Take a good, long look at history. This past century has seen quite a few changes alone. One of those changes is a continuous degrade in parental participation in their children's lives. It's right in front of us, and thousands of people believe in this guy that speaks to a spirit and the spirit tells him what to say in rainbow talk? Open your eyes people.

all I can say is doctors tried to ruin my brain with dexedrine!

Oh and I wouldnt believe much of what Lee Caroll has to say.

Then why do you claim to be indigo? He's the one that came up with the whole thing.

Dude all she did was comment on something that already was!
She didnt make up Indigo she just wrote a book on it.

She? It's a he.

And HE didn't just comment on it. HE wrote guidelines on what the characteristics were. He is the one that made it all up. Please research the subject. You'll find out a bit more than you really want to know. In other words, you won't be calling yourself an indigo anymore after you read all the crap there is to know about this guy.

No offense, but there is a different between labelling people to have similar personalities, and labelling them as a "multi-dimensional-viewing super-human" who is, at some point, going to change the world.

I don't understand how someone came to this conclusion. Do you understand what I'm asking?


It's funny really. I also read something which claimed that a large quantity of kids (born after 1994) are most likely to be Indigo.

Indigo Children? Are those the kids who are like crazy smart?

Very much agreed.

Lee Carroll claims that children born after 2000 are now "Crystal Children." Same as indigo, but with one subtle difference. If they were completely the same, he wouldn't be able to write any more books and make a lot of money off of people that are too "in tune with their surroundings" to discipline their children.

I hate to sound closed minded, but this is very annoying.

"what is an indigo?"

"someone who has felt different all their lives, and fit into these descriptions:..."


I'm sure everyone has felt different, and special. I know I have. I was way ahead of my class as far as intellect goes. I was always the one sitting in the classroom, not contained at all, just wondering about things most kids wouldn't even think about for the next 10 years. I was the one who would ask "why?" and never be satisfied with the answer I got. I matured at an earlier age than most, if not all my friends. I always thought of myself as an 'Einstein' of sorts. Does this make me an Indigo? I don't believe so. I am a human, fortunate enough to have more advanced mental capabilities then most people in my age group. Unless there is some other thing that sets aside indigos from the 'norm', than I think this is pretty much a crock.


EDIT: BTW 'Nado, and Knightmeir... Good posts. Didn't mean to neglect what you said...

OMG!! LOL!! We have been in violent agreement all along

ofcourse the term Indigo children was just made up to make people feel special. She just made the chart very vague so everyone would think they are Indigo and buy her stupid book. I am just saying there are people who do the things she says they do. That doesnt mean that her simple test is true.

Ok, let me get this right... You don't believe in the existence of Indigos, yet you believe in everything that Lee Carroll had to say. Aren't you contradicting yourself?

If every First Theory, became the Final Accepted Theory, then we would still be living in the Middle Ages.

"The Earth is flat!" --- "Yes, we all agree with you, the Earth is flat."

Some tests for Indigo are out of 12. The other tests we have seen are out of 25.
Which is more rigorous, the one out of 12 or the one out of 25?
Is it harder to get 25 out of 25 than 12 out of 12? I think so...You?

Did Lee Carroll have a theory about Indigos? Yes he did. Did he perfect it? I don't think so.

Did Eistein have a "theory of everything"? Yes he did. Did he perfect it? No. Other scientists perfected it many, many, many years later.

If this was an exact science, we would not be discussing it here. It would be in the Science Journals. Will you find discrepanies on different Indigo-sites? Absolutely! I have no doubt.




Well, according to the link that Knightmeir provided, no Indigos would have been born after 1989, as the period of alignment only stretched from 1978 - 1989.

See why:
http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Indigo...ldren/id/222771



Incidentally, the term Indigo appears not to have been coined by Lee Carroll. It appears that the term was first coined by Nancy Ann Tappe 17 - 22 years ago.
She coined this term as a result of the hues of the Auras she read of people with specific personality traits.

Go on....do a google search on:

parapsychologist coined term indigo


Following quote is from:
http://www.houstonpress.com/issues/2002-12...ature_full.html

"They go by many names, such as Star Kids, Indigos or Crystalline Children. Whatever they're called, believers say this group of prodigies started appearing about 30 years ago and may now make up as much as 90 percent of the population under ten. They also exhibit strange side effects, like a higher resistance to pollutants but an increased sensitivity to sugar and food additives. These are babies born with an inherent knowledge of art, language and spirituality, possessing an impressive wealth of wisdom. Some will even go so far as to say these kids are not only prime candidates for the gifted and talented program, but the next step in human evolution."


See, I told you 30 years ago.


"The term Indigo Child was coined 17 years ago by Nancy Ann Tappe, a parapsychologist who developed a system for classifying people's personalities according to the hue of their auras, described in her 1982 book, Understanding Your Life Through Colors. According to her, auras have been entering and exiting Earth throughout history. For example, aura colors such as fuchsia and magenta disappeared from the gene pool 100 years ago (though she was recently shocked to find a fuchsia living in Palm Springs). It stood to reason that a new life color was about to make an appearance."

"But it was the 1999 book The Indigo Children, by Lee Carroll and Jan Tober, that popularized the idea of the next generation. 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. He found religion and started traveling around the world giving "self-help" seminars. Accompanying him was Tober, a practitioner of metaphysics and hands-on healing as well as a jazz singer who had toured with Benny Goodman and Fred Astaire. The genesis of the book came when they began noticing similar accounts of strange behavior in children from teachers, counselors and psychologists who attended their seminars. As they began to look into these occurrences, they found kids were indeed being born with an "unusual set of psychological attributes" and displaying "a pattern of behavior generally undocumented before." Using a collection of essays and interviews from experts in the field -- mostly counselors working in such New Age areas as Angel Therapy and alternative medicines -- the book focuses on raising an Indigo Child. Some of the main attributes they describe are a sense of "deserving to be here" and "knowing who they are," difficulty with authority, a dislike of activities that don't require creative thought and a feeling of royalty (and acting like it)."


Lee Carroll might have written a book on the subject, but I would not rule out all other possibilities of Indigo existing prior to 1977.

And Tornado...If you read carefully, Indigo has a lot to do with Personality. That is why I mentioned personality in my posts.

If you read some of my earlier posts you would have seen that I mentioned that a woman more than likely coined the term Indigo. This was because women can more easily distinguish between colours and they would also be the only ones to know all the names of all the funny colours.

If you read my previous post you will see that Nancy Ann Tappe in fact came up with the term "Indigo" and not Lee Carroll.

Nancy is in fact a woman.
She came up with the term "Indigo" somewhere between 17 and 22 years ago.

Personally I think Lee Carroll's intentions might have been slightly misguided and the lure of fame and fortune overwhelmed him. He's like one of those TV Evangelists...making money out of something that could potentially help the human race.

"Oh don't worry...I will pull you out of the flood water right after you pay me!"

wjsa, so, what you're saying is that there weren't any highly intelligent people born more than 30 years ago? There weren't bright and shiny kids that stood out among the masses that impressed people? Shirly Temple must have been a moron then. So much for Albert Einstein!

Do you truly realize what it is that you are saying here? You're propagating claims made by people that have no validity in science, medicine, or anywhere else for that matter. I could go to school and become a PHD in dentistry, write a book about relationships and the aura-connection and people would buy into it because there's a label attached to my name.



Look at this quote closely. Higher resistance to pollutants (natural, since the earth is becoming more filthy, natural for humans and animals, for that matter, to adapt to this). Increased sensitivity to sugar and additives? This is one of THE most unfounded statements I have ever seen. Define "sensitivity." Does this mean they're allergic to these items? Sugar somehow effects their superior biological makeup? Again, since they're humans just like me, I don't see how this is relevant in any way. After all, "indigo" has nothing to do with the physical, but instead an alleged psychic/psychological/mental superiority to everyone else. I find it ironic that the biological make-up of their bodies somehow differs from the rest of the human race. Next, they're going to try telling those of us that don't buy into the BS that indigos have highly specialized organs in their bodies that aren't the same as ours. Even better, a 3rd lung that works under water.

Next, how do they know babies have an inherent knowledge of anything? A baby with a wealth of wisdom? PLEASE!! If this was true, they'd be on talk shows discussing cooking tips with Martha Stewart on Oprah Winfrey. Again, completely unfounded! Where's the proof? More claims with no proof AT ALL.

Oh, and some info on Nancy Ann Tappe:

http://www.psychicchildren.co.uk/1-2-TheIndigoChildren.html



Is is any surprise she also sells books?

Second, her "powers" may not come from anything spiritual at all (see bold highlight above). For someone with a medical condition that actually causes them to see "auras," to claim they are psychic and come up with this new found belief is outlandish.

Here's something funny from this site:

You mean, indigo children are fussy eaters? So, I guess that kid from the movie "A Christmas Story," was indigo? How is is that PSYCHIC ABILITY somehow leads to a change in biology? More garbage!

Did it ever occur to any of these indigo heroes that a child's ability to intake certain foods/additives/medications has something to do with how the child's mother took care of herself before and during pregnancy? The types of foods she ate, medications she took, exercise, and all kinds of neat, interesting, and realistic factors! Not only that, but if there's something in the food we eat that has been a "norm" for the past 30 years, it might have something to do with changes in mental development of a fetus in the womb. This could lead to a cause of ADD. I believe a lot of children are misdiagnosed for the simple fact mom and dad are too lazy to spend time with their children, or because they're duped by money-hungry doctors. On the same token, you have these psuedo-psychologists that claim "your child is an indigo and a psychic woman who has a medical condition that causes her to have problems with her vision says so!"

and more form the same site:



Oh Dear God. The child is Indigo because she would not eat unless she was hungry! This HAS to be true! She absolutely HAS to be indigo because she only eats when she's hungry.

And she would challenge authority? Only an indigo child would say "no" to mom. I mean, there couldn't have possibly been rebellious children in existence prior to the indigo revolution.

The end result? A child that gets what she wants, when she wants it, because her mother is too afraid to be an adult. Great parenting!

What we're going to see in the future is a contiuous trend of children with no respect for authority. They are duped into believing they are psychics, they can do anything they please without fear of reprisal.

"Bob murdered everyone in his office today."
"Really? Why?"
"He's an indigo. His boss told him he needed to start doing some work, instead of sitting there all day, doing nothing."
"Oh, that's a shame. Indigos shouldn't be held back like that."
"Yeah, I agree. His boss is just another skeptic idiot."

That's a horrifying, stupid example, but if you look at the basic premise of it, that's what these new-age parents are teaching their children. It's ok to do what you want. I'll let you have whatever you want, because you're special.

Parents are willing to believe in this indigo lie because they don't want the term "ADD" to taint their view of their child. "What will people think if we tell them our child has ADD?" As opposed to, "This is great honey, wait till we tell the neighbors we have a highly sophisticated, wise and intelligent child with psychic abilities."

Much of what we see in society these days is a bunch of kids growing up with a whole hell of a lot of technology at their fingertips. The first time I saw a computer was in elementary school. Commodore 64. A good percentage of these indigos would have no clue what I'm talking about. The point being, many households have computers. Information is readiy available to those with the money and means to obtain it. Which leads me to my next point:

How often do you hear about a poor child being "indigo?" I doubt you'll find many inner city children being sought after for psychic ability. Gosh, I wonder why? Maybe because some of the parents who spend time RAISING THEIR CHILDREN, don't have the money or time to buy into these books by self-proclaimed psychic authors?

The fact of the matter, the REAL truth here is that the children who are exposed to a lot of things, realistic things, life, have a better grasp on things. They don't get duped into claiming righteous indignation based on what some self proclaimed psychic tells them. They have to survive, and they do everything they can to do so.

On the other hand, the children that aren't as exposed, children that are raised by people who have money, are spoiled, aren't disciplined, and gain that feeling of royalty as described by lee carroll because they are handed everything without having to work for it.

This has gone on since the beginning of human history. You're ALWAYS going to have spoiled brats who feel they're better than everyone else because they're raised that way, not because they were born that way. The truth is, no one is better than the person standing next to them. I've noticed that some of the kids I grew up with who were in that category of self-righteousness are having a really hard time in life right now. They can't hold down jobs, and when they do have a job, it's something grueling and low-paying. They are now in a position where they HAVE to do everything they can to survive, and they don't know how to cope because in the younger years, mommy and daddy told them they were special.

It's also important to remember that if you look at a siblings, there is a distinct difference in how they deal with things. Twins would have less of a difference, and children born let's say, a year or 2 apart have quite a bit more of a difference in them. Same bloodline, same DNA, etc... but once the second child is born, the parents are more prepared. Usually, the older sibling turns out to be more rebellious. The younger one is raised differently because the parents have a better grasp on things.

All in all, the indigo, crystal, star, etc.... movement is nothing more than some people using the desperation of inexperienced parents against them to make MONEY. None of it is real, never has been, never will be. Time will tell, and the believers will continue to ignore all the FACTS weighed against this belief.

I'm not trying to flame, but it seems like no matter what is said, how it's said, or how many varying facts are used to disprove it, the exact same things are stated in retort. No matter WHO coined the term "indigo," the underlying truth is that those propagating it did so without providing evidence to support their ideas, rather, they used already known child-raising problems to make money.

I think indigo children is just another name for mentally retarded people....

^^Too far dude... Too far...

LOL

Man I wish I had such a huge imagination as that guy.
I would be rich... lol

I don't find that humorous at all. I think your response should be deleted.
