There Is NO Such Thing As Indigo Children (Pseudo-Science Ones). Yup It's True.

I've been nothing but forthright and conversational - there is REALLY no need to bring out ridiculous arguments like this.

Tried again to be sure and still getting nothing.

If it's so pertinent to the argument maybe you could copy some relevant parts into the thread.

Personally, I believe that there is some truth to be found in the descriptions of Indigos, as well as the other aura colors. These aura descriptions have come to exist through research. The OP gives the impression someone just made all this up on their own, which is not the case. I have Dr. Barbara Bowers' book, "What Color is Your Aura," and have read several others on the topic by various other authors that I have found very intriguing and insightful.

As for the children who reportedly fall into the category of Indigo, I share the OP's concerns about how the parents of these children handle this "label." Parents do tend to want to believe their child is the most important person on the planet and this sort of thing fuels that type of activity.

For one thing, the only place I've heard it implied that Indigos are "better than other people" is here on ATS. This is not something that is expressed in the books I've read. And, frankly, I have seen people come on ATS and proclaim they are Indigos as if they believe they are, indeed, superior. This doesn't lend anything to their credibility. It shows they've taken certain information and created an illusion about themselves that they would like to be true. If one does any kind of research into this topic, it becomes clear that every aura color has a distinct and important role in the universe--one is no more important than the other.

The only reason Indigos happen to be the "buzz" right now is because of the belief in what their current role is. Essentially it is to call out the deceivers for what they are in an effort to promote an existence where we are true to ourselves and others. The Indigos, however, are relentless and aggressive in their efforts to eradicate deceit. Therefore, the Crystals are supposed to be coming up behind them to guide us toward an existence where we can trust our own intuitions and respect the ideas of others without the need for lies, and they will do this using more patience and tolerance than the Indigos, who are less forgiving by nature. Frankly, there are plenty of characteristics of the Indigos that are not so appealing, but we never seem to hear about them. All aura colors have their good points and those that may be perceived as "bad."

These are just my own opinions based on what research I've been doing throughout the years. I'm not trying to proclaim that my beliefs are undisputed facts, but I definitely feel there is some level of truth to be found in research relating to auras, astrology, and numerology.

Okay so now your list is from the Crystal group. LOL Yet you have described yourself as an "Indigo". What gives?
Picking and choosing your stance based upon the way the wind of the debate is blowing doesn't lend you any crediblity. Heck you even had a thread calling yourself an "Indigo".

You simply aren't reading or comprehending. I have NEVER said I was an Indigo AND my list says as the title it's a list of Crystal traits... wtf.

edited to add:
Oops - to be fair, my thread on "How an Indigo..." is because the blanket term Indigo is more well-known than the sub-groups. So, I did in fact imply I was an Indigo in that thread, with the implication that Indigo is the group title for all of Indigo, Crystal, Rainbow, Starseed, etc. I never claimed that in this thread and my list clearly states it is about Crystal traits. I take my integrity seriiusly, even on a forum - careful how you call things out.

Divide and conquer, look at the division amongst this online "community" over simple labeling when your entire society is made up of labeling. CEO's, President, Doctor, priests all labels and you don't give a second thought to those simply because you understand that those are there to identify a person's credentials for those who are searching for that person If you are not in search of an "Indigo" child then why does the matter even concern you? Your beliefs prove other beliefs wrong? That may fly in your reality, and enjoy your reality; but pardon me while I excuse myself from it.

The point is, people deny things that are right in front of them. They don't even explore the possibility because they fear it conflicts with their ideas. They deny knowledge. Please realize that no matter what your opinions are of the information it doesn't change the fact that it is information. Children learn so fast because they don't know "right" or "wrong" knowledge, they just know knowledge. I would suggest you take a lesson from your children, but in your society of older=wiser it might be a hard lesson learned. Everything has a possibility if your mind can imagine it, we as a collective shape our reality.

One thing you must grasp in order to become a master, is to understand that you will always be a student!

Enjoy your day everyone

I do actually believe that there is some kind psychic development happening in the children. They are more sensitive, smarter than they were earlier. I don't think that this is happening now, I think it has happened throughout our existence. And will continue to do so. I just don't care for the "indigo"-term.

The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived
www.amazon.com...

Amazon.com Review
Do you think your child is special? Well, perhaps he or she is! Self-help professionals Lee Carroll and Jan Tober have collected essays by dozens of doctors, counselors, and other childhood experts that seem to document the arrival on earth of a newly evolved species of human kiddie referred to here as an "indigo" child. The 10 most common traits are: 1.) They come into the world with a feeling of royalty. 2.) They have a feeling of deserving to be here. 3.) Self-worth is not a big issue. 4.) They have difficulty with authority by ritual or without explanation. 5.) They simply will not do certain things. 6.) They get frustrated with systems that don't require creative thought. 7.) They often see better ways of doing things. 8.) School is often difficult for them and they can seem antisocial. 9.) They will not respond to guilt-trip discipline. 10.) They are not shy about letting you know what they need.

If your little angel/devil fits this pattern and you are pulling your hair out trying to relate, you may want to read this book before resorting to Ritalin. --P. Randall Cohan


You are 100% correct. From that review it seems they are little spoiled brats

No offense

But see how easy it is to label people? Heck you just referred to people who have arguments, or what I call debates "retarded" a couple of posts ago!

reply to post by SpaceGoatsFarts


Nah. Maybe god got his new prototype ready.

It does not matter what you find on amazon , the fact is people are realizing that people with special traits exist, and seem to be on the rise alot lately. I do know that the telepathy exists more than i have seen before, projection of thought.

I was completely awoken to these feelings i already had and suppressed , by someone with amazing power, and as i awoke to this realization, i saw that many more were around, and it definitely is on the increase in a dramatic fashion.

It's just other way of saying: "It's useless to throw offenses around and it's useless to get offended".

So, there are a couple of threads floating around right now discussing the issue of Indigo or Crystal Children.

IMO these are just labels which serve to further divide and ostrazise our children and have no place in our society.

Before I give any further personal views, let's see what Wiki has to say about them.

Indigo children is a label given to children whose parents believe they possess special, unusual and/or supernatural traits or abilities. The idea is based on New Age concepts developed in the 1970s by Nancy Ann Tappe.

The concept of indigo children gained popular interest with the publication of a series of books in the late 1990s and the release of several films in the following decade.

A variety of books, conferences and related materials have been created surrounding belief in the idea of indigo children and their nature and abilities.

These beliefs range from their being the next stage in human evolution or possessing paranormal abilities such as telepathy to the belief that they are simply more empathetic and creative than their peers.

So the concept comes from ONE person, and was propagated by parents who didn't want to accept that their kids had learning disabilities, or just wanted to enforce the idea that the kid was "special".

How does one qualify to be an Indigo Child?

Descriptions of indigo children include the belief that they are empathetic, curious, strong-willed, independent, and often perceived by friends or family as being weird; possess a clear sense of self-definition and purpose; and also exhibit a strong inclination towards spiritual matters from early childhood.

Indigo children have also been described as having a strong feeling of entitlement, or "deserving to be here." Other alleged traits include a high intelligence quotient, an inherent intuitive ability, and resistance to authority.[2][4]

According to Tober and Carroll, indigo children function poorly in conventional schools due to their rejection of authority, being smarter than their teachers and a lack of response to guilt-, fear- or manipulation-based discipline.[5]

Source

So generally they are classified as having a high IQ, having a sense of purpose, rejecting Authority and being extremely perceptive.

What did we use to call these people before the 1970's? Humans. Humans of above average intelligence.

This is ALL indigo children. HUMANS of above average intelligence and perception. Labelling these children as anything else is doing them a giant disservice.

You should NEVER tell your children that they are better than anybody else, even if they do have a higher IQ or "extra sensory" perception.

We are ALL equal as people, there are just varying degress of intelligence and perception which make us all unique in that sense.

So what are your thoughts ATS?

well, i seem to misunderstand this as, if we are all equal; do we not have the equality to be what we want to be?

you would be surprised in what strange "geeks" and "dorks" can do when together.

can you honestly say that "indigo/crystal" people do not exist? it is impossible to be 100% sure that it does not. its thinking like this that has our world in the situation it is in today. saying this, i believe that there is no "truth" to your statement. i think it should be changed to "my opinion". this however is my "opinion".

also, i had to sign up when my "geekness" read this thread. i guess one could say im a "first time poster, long time reader". in my opinion, there are more "geeks" and "dorks" in the world than there are "non-geeks" or "non-dorks". ( i guess this is what you would call "cool" or "fly", or "the fonz" folk, [the ones that say "sit on it."]) with all this said, i look forward to getting to know everyone, and look forward to contributing what i can.
thank

In the picture you chose to post. It's blazened right across the bottom..

By your posting the picture, with what it says, that is how you feel. Hence you are calling people who argue, retarded.

Indigo Kids, eh? I think it's merely a label. Here's some more labeling action for ya: How much you wanna bet that most "indigo children" have parents who are "hippies" or "former hippies" who "smoked a lot of pot" in their youth, who ascribe to "new age philosophies" and all that business?

I think it's just another device to shun responsibility for your own actions. "Oh, my child isn't socially inept and behaviorally maladjusted, he's an INDIGO CHILD, so it's not my responsibility to figure out what's really wrong." Okay, narcissistic pothead, whatever you say.

I cannot believe you just posted that.

It may be humorous, but wrong and distastfull on every level. It's safe to assume you've never spent any considerable ammount of time with special needs persons for you to imply that sort of thing.

If you did it just to be funny, you failed.

*SNIP*

I hope that boy, or people who know him, or teachers of kids with impaired cognitive functioning, don't ever see that picture. It's truly awful to laugh at that.

Imagine the happiness and pure joy that boy is feeling at the moment he triumphed - running his heart out across that finish line.

No it's calling people retarded.

By the way, I have a sibling that is retarded, who won a lot of races in the special olympics. It's a great program that gives people who are different an opportunity to feel like they fit in and accomplish something that normal people do.

Bad choice my friend.

Quite the insult, and label.

Not only do you show that you think people who argue are retarded, you also label people who are retarded as losers!
