Another "Indigo Child" Thread

Post Reply New Topic

No need to worry; we're not going to get on your case about having a special interest that involves astrology even though you don't actually believe in astrology. Many of us have had much weirder special interests than that. I do statistics problems for fun...

Just seems a mish mash of random thinking to me.

We need a thread on how many Autistics are Reptilians next.That would cover the stare and lack of emotional response.

This is a healthier perspective. Labels tend to separate us into groups. Groups adopt each other’s similarities and tend to go to war against groups who are different. . . racial, religious, political - throughout history.

(However, being “weird” and part of a group is more fun than being “weird” and alone. )

Quite.

And yes--there is no reason to further divide "us" from "them"--there's far too much of that already.

I don't know. Several people have told me I'm an indigo child (and on one occasion, a crystal child, whatever the difference is). Maybe they're right, maybe they're talking out their asses. I don't know, and to be honest, I don't particularly care to know. I do believe in spirituality in a more general sense, for sure, so I'm not going to rule out indigo children is a possibilty, though my instinct is that, at the very least, they've got a lot of the explanation wrong. But then, that's just my perception. I never was one to put much stock in the idea of an objective reality. People are welcome to believe as they will; ultimatley it's all different words for the same sh*t.

Indigo children are allegedly people whose auras are indigo in color. There is currently no valid demonstrable evidence in favor of colored auras.

According to This Rational Wiki article on Indigo Children:

In other words, "Indigo Child" is just a prettier, unscientific, and more politically correct label for a child who seems to display symptoms of ADD, ADHD, or an ASD.

On more than one occasion, I have been told that my aura is blue.

By whom?



How much did they charge for the reading?

Wait, what? Are these children, or planned pokemon games?

Ah, I ain't gonna insult it. I've seen to much wierd stuff myself to completely deny anything. At the same time, however, I'm still capable of logical judgement, and that tells me all this is far too vague to prove, probably far too vague to be anything at all.

But hey, it's also too vague for me to disprove completely. Maybe that's the point, or maybe there's something to it. Hell if I know.

I've never paid for a reading. It was always just random casual conversation.

The first time was my uncles ex wife. She did massage therapy and new age healing. (crystals, hot stones, chakra, that sort of stuff) I ran into her somewhere and she asked what was wrong. I said "nothing". And she said, "Well your aura is very blue today, do you have a sore throat or are you depressed?"

Another time I was at a party at a park one night just sitting on a rock. I got up to walk around and passed 2 women (1 that I knew and 1 I didn't) who were talking. The 1 I didn't know pointed in the direction I had been sitting and said "I saw something blue over there" The woman I knew looked over and said, "that was probably just (SwampOwl). He was just sitting over there". They were both into new age and psychic stuff too, and I think the woman I didn't know called herself an Empath.

I really don't know a lot about auras and all that. Just thought it was kind of coincidental.

I've also been told by people who tried to read me that I had too many walls up, or an aura of protection. Whether that was just a cop out or not, I don't know.

Personally I think we are witnessing the evolution of the perceptual system. (Picture the starship Enterprise as it stretches when it goes to light speed) If you look at the amount and intensity of the stimulation on television alone, you can see how the children of the 90s would have adapted to a much more "stimulus rich" environment than children of the 50s. Those who identify with "Wrong Planet" just happen to be the forward fringe, or cutting edge of the natural process of adaptation to the environment. (which for most of us was being parked in front of the television, or for my kids parked in front of a computer.)

We are "normal" for what the brain expected to have to deal with - it is just that the speed and intensity of the television world does not always match the external social environment. There are no right or wrong answers. Everyone just needs to cushion the process in anyway they can - evolution is a messy and painful business. But in the historical time frame of mankind, the struggles of everyone here - every autistic, aspie, indigo, or spiritually sensitive person - everyone is taking the pain now in order to pave the way for a more evolutionary advanced human. We may not live to see the fruits of our labor, but hopefully our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will.

Now, that's not quite so vague as the description given of indigo children in the first post, and if it's true, it's rather remarkable. How did strangers know he would "heal" them? Was he disturbed in any way by knowing that someone had died?

What's an Indigo Child?

My personal opinion of the "Indigo Child" topic is that ALL parents want their child/children to be special, unique, and that during their life-time they will contribute towards society/be a valuable citizen.

In my opinion "New Age" parents with their Age of Aquarius thinking force their own belief system onto their children. I recall seeing an interview with a parent who allegedly had 3 Indigo Children. The children had been "brainwashed" by their parents into believing that they were part of some special genetically enhanced force sent to save humanity from impending destruction.

I accept that it may be possible that some outside force is manipulating the DNA structure of certain individuals, and/or implanting esoteric knowledge, however I prefer to be objective and scientific.
