Really? Suppose that does make sense doesn't it?
Ah well, whatever it is/they are/the reason, they're always really pretty. There's only one time someone's scared the crap out of me with an outline of black, at which point I ran from the shop he walked into and about 300m down the road. That was horrible. But besides that, they're always really pretty. I just kinda take it like an extension of personality or something, if that makes any sense.

WTF?!
I just remembered that I think I added that "alien Kryon"info to wikipedia ages ago
My little brother one day talked to me about this "indigo children" thing, and I went and researched all I could (damn obsession), and I found that

What do you find, is the correlation between the colour of the outline and the type of person?
Sort of, I suppose... mine is almost always a bright turquoise blue, though I don't know what that means, I've never really looked into colour therapy or anything like that beyond 'red is not a good colour for a bedroom' type stuff. The only time it's ever really registered is that time I mentioned coming across someone all black outlined and scary. Some days they look brighter than others, dunno if that's more to do with the light than anything else though.

So that's why some guy who I know and who discusses paranormal issues always say 'the easiest explanation should be studied'.
'Ockham's razor', I'm going to look that up tomorrow afternoon.

The study of the supposed "paranormal," however, would probably be seen by most nominalists (and even conceptualists) as a violation of Ockham's razor. I know that I would question how parapsychology, which presumably relies on a kind of metaphysics, could be seen as parsimonious.

In my experience, this sort of nonsense is not only a waste-of-time, it's also harmful.
A few years' ago, my mother had to attend some kind of day-course on autism as part of her job. She told me that so many of the autistic traits mentioned seemed to apply to me, that she actually mentioned me and my background to the course tutor, who told my mum I was not autistic but sounded like an 'indigo child' which my mum, being into all that crap, told me about.
I remember briefly looking it up on the web at the time, reading it, and dropping it from my head again as it just sounded like some kind of pseudo-religious mumbo-jumbo.
Two years later I've been told by my psychotherapist that I appear to have mild Aspergers. Coupled with the fact I was taken for assessment at age 2 at a child development centre because I was apparently banging my head, screaming, freaking out in crowded places and wouldn't let anyone touch me... (at the time my parents were told I appeared to be above average intelligence and my 'mind was moving too fast for my body')
Anyway, my point is that a parent with a new-age disposition [like my mum] is willing to accept 'hippy doctrine' over medical science, which was so detrimental to me as all the way through my life they constantly told me I was 'not right in the head' and in my assessment as a kid they 'wanted to put probes on my head to see if I was crazy, but you kept pulling them off so they couldn't do it' (her 'interpretation of an EEG as I found out many years later)
But to be brought up with the your mad/your 'special'/your 'indigo' trio meant years and years of being in the dark, knowing I didn't seem to be in the right dimension, but beyond my mother's cries of 'your mad' and the way other people have always said I'm weird, left me unnerved, scared, not knowing why until the therapist dropped the initial bombshell which has since blasted away my uncertainty about who I am, and given me a peace-of-mind about myself I have never had, nor would have gained from thinking I have special powers which I'm supposed to use to usher in a new age!
I just called it BS, because anything associated with the quackery of Jenny McCarthy and her desperation to "cure" her son of Autism is just that.

Aspies are just as real as Indigo Children.
Both stories lack evidence.
Hippies have their words, store front religions theirs.
Bright or dark auras, HFA LFA MFA, with a twist of lime?
Demonic Possesson by greater or lesser Demonia?
Back to square one, none of these words cover the people here, yet they have something in common.
Autistics are removed from the world and spin the wheels on toy cars. eastern monks are removed from the world and spin prayer wheels. Niether work, bathe, or socialize. As far as I can tell, the monks start as ordinary people, and spend years in training to become autistics.
Nearing enlightenment, the monks are identical to the description of LFA. Often they chose to be walled in their cell, one small hole left for air, food and water, with no mention of removing wastes. They lived that way for many years.
From what I have read, autism is uncommon in the cultures where monks are common.
The Tibetian Book of the Dead says souls seeking to be reborn are drawn to copulating couples with the right spiritual energy. Hippies balling on acid might have messed up the world.
What were your parents into?
I think there is more than we know, keep the wheels spinning.

They are both narratives, but the indigo and crystal childen narrative requires making many more unsupported assumptions than does the aspie narrative.

What is it with all this new age crap, my little sister is into reiki and when I finally told I have AS, she go's "oh wow your an Indigo Child" then she tried to send her healing energy to me, I felt real bad, because I asked her which direction I should face, she lives about 300km north from where I live, I wasn't to sure if I would get any good reception, but I didn't ask her if I needed a tin foil hat to improve my reception. I love my sister, but she's got some of the strangest beliefs, at least she's harmless. What really concerns me is people trying to push this load of crap film, called The Secret, which espouses things like sending out positive thoughts, you WILL attract wealth and money, and cure any condition, including aspregers, it will also kill cancer, no doubt including the person with cancer. Its all lies to get money from gullible fools, who sadly think there is a magic cure to all their problems, and in this day were anyone can go on the internet and look up any sort of information on this quackery, it amazes me just how stupid and uninformed the human race is becoming.
I'm just glad that there are some questions science can't answer.
Who am I?
Why am I here ?
Where did I come from?
Where am I going?
Where is here?
Why am I self aware?
Are we all connected in some way or am I alone?
What is the half of my mind I can't see thinking?
Conventional science wasn't always so steady on its feet
The west got most of its science from Islamic cultures anyway
So give people striving for enlightenment through new ideas a break
And the Esoteric is just science we haven't worked out yet anyway.
Um...I believe in the Secret. And I don't believe the human is becoming stupid, it's evolving and getting smarter. Honestly, if you really look close enough at religion, you would find that it actually tells you about Law of Attraction and such. I have used the Secret and it actually does work. I would kindly suggest that you and some other people on this site should be more open to it. It sounds scary at first, I know, because people are afraid of their own power. As weird as that might sound, it's true.
I am surrounded by people that believe in the western faiths and I find it very rigid and a way to get people in fear so the government and people in political power. I unfortunately did buy into it for awhile. I have been feeling very empty with this mind set, and the eastern, right sided style seems to balance it all. So I am trying to get back to it, but it is a bit hard, especially since almost everyone around you would completely try to brain wash you to think like them.
Please don't be offended by my post. That's simply my opinion, it's okay if you completely disagree, it's just absolutely sad when people bash ideas and opinions that other people have because they think it's weird and are afraid of it. I admit, I am afraid of western belief because it seems to feed on ego and can be completely self-destructive.
