Ingigo Insight

There is a series on Youtube called The Indigo Evolution (some posters, like the one in the link I am supplying refer to it as The Indigo Revolution, however the credits in the documentary clearly says "Evolution").

It can come off a bit corny at times, no doubt about that. However it does have good information. Particularly the story told by the mother of a very young girl who knew intimate details of her grandmothers funeral, who had died before the child was born. These details had never been told to the toddler, yet she recalled them at ease. This part is towards the end of part two in the series.

Indigo Child:

"What IS an 'indigo child?' - BY an Indigo Child
Part I

A new reader posed the question, 'What is an indigo child?' What a fantastic question! I will do my best to clearly and concisely answer the question, both with my experience and with outside references. In order to understand the full scope of things, I will be making this a multi part series.

The very BASIC concept of an indigo child is (in my own words): A modern incarnation of an old soul, who is here on Earth in a specific capacity to guide and teach others both through example and communication.

Some of you have never heard the term 'indigo child' before, while others have heard it and dismissed it as wishful thinking by parents of troubled kids, or perhaps an all too easy idea conceived by New Age enthusiasts.

Why is this? I believe it is caused by fear and ego. When someone hears that a child displays understanding beyond their years as well as abilities that most humans are unable to match, an attitude of perceived elitism begins, leading to skepticism.

I will go on record right now with this plain and simple FACT: An indigo child is no different from you or anyone else. The mental, emotional, physical and psychic abilities they display are wonderful and vivid and the exact same things all humans have the ability to do. The difference is indigo's are simply more open and sensitive sensitive to these phenomena than others, and they CHOOSE to follow those feelings.

The term "indigo child" first came into the public eye in the 1982 book Understanding Your Life Through Color by Nancy Ann Tappe, a synesthete and psychic, who claimed to see people's aura's and that of late she was seeing an influx of what she described as "indigo" colored auras, specifically in children.

(I'm sure some are wondering and/or are skeptical about "auras." I will be posting an article on aura's, focusing on what the ancients believed, and what modern science is now discovering.)

An aura simply put is the energy emitted by every living thing. All living things have a certain amount of energy they produce, and an aura is an outward reflection of that energy. Think of it as being able to see your breath on a cold day. You're not breathing any different, but because of the climate, you are able to see carbon dioxide expelled from your body. An aura too is always there, however not everyone has trained their eyes to see it.

As more indigo children were observed they all began to display qualities and abilities marking them as different from their peers. These unique qualities seemed to be something many indigo children had in common with each other.

The term "indigo child" grew into a trend in 1998 with the publishing of the book The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived by husband and wife Lee Carroll and Ann Tober.

Since that publication, there have been documented behavioral traits that are common denominators that indigo children exhibit. Some of these are (as stated by Wendy H. Chapman):

1. Have strong self esteem, connection to source
2. Know they belong here until they are told otherwise
3. Have an obvious sense of self
4. Have difficulty with discipline and authority
5. Refuse to follow orders or directions
6. Find it torture to wait in lines, lack patience
7. Get frustrated by ritual-oriented systems that require little creativity
8. Often see better ways of doing things at home and at school
9. Are mostly nonconformists
10. Do no respond to guilt trips, want good reasons
11. Get bored rather easily with assigned tasks
12. Are rather creative
13. Are easily distractable, can do many things at once
14. Display strong intuition
15. Have strong empathy for others or NO empathy
16. Develop abstract thinking very young
17. Are gifted and/or talented, highly intelligent
Are often identified or suspected of having ADD or ADHD, but can focus when they want to
18. Are talented daydreamers and visionaries
19. Have very old, deep, wise looking eyes
20. Have spiritual intelligence and/or psychic skills
21. Often express anger outwardly rather than inwardly and may have trouble with rage
22. Need support to discover themselves
23. Are here to change the world - to help us live in greater harmony and peace with one another and to raise the vibration of the planet

In my opinion, many of those traits are something common among kids in general. Kids will be kids, and at times they all act restless, astound adults with the wisdom they speak and exhibit creative and other gifts from an early age.

If I could point out a few of the more pertinent characteristics, they would be issues with authority, refusing to follow orders, the frustration at ritual oriented systems, intelligence and their psychic skills. On a side note, I have yet to meet another indigo who did not have very captivating, intense almost hypnotizing eyes and spirit about them.

There are also traits that I would add to that list (as seen in other lists you may come across). These would be problems in school, both socially and academically. A constant notion and feelings of a grander purpose, something they personally need to do, but don't know what it is. Displaying pronounced perception of people they encounter, e.g. reading emotions and intent very well from a young age.

As an indigo begins to awaken and embrace themselves these common traits displayed begin to grow into specific abilities, based on each one's purpose or "job" and skills they've developed in other lives.

These can be such things as precognitive dreams and/or visions, empathic abilities, extra sensitivity to and communication with spirits, mind reading, energy control and telekinesis, to name just a few.

Putting myself in your shoes, reading this for the first time, I am sure there is a mixture of skepticism and questions. My guess is that part of you is intrigued and excited to read more, while another, perhaps slightly more dominant side, questions the legitimacy of the statements I've made.

Well perhaps I can put this to you in a bit of a different way. Imagine yourself back in say the 50's. Education is on the rise. People are buying television sets, there is a telephone in every house and there is grand amount of new music coming out. America is in the midst of the Cold War. There are new new sub cultures arising and the ever expanding issue of civil rights. This is the world you know. Every issue relevant to your life is before you.

Now what if someone came to you and said they had an invention that will change your life. It will change and enhance the way you communicate with others, the way you do business even the very economy itself. This device would give you the ability to talk on the phone from anywhere you wanted. The car, in a park, on a mountain, on a boat, and that the telephone device would even be smaller than the phone you're currently using. This life changing technological advancement will even be so affordable that every man woman and child will be able to afford their own. What would your reaction be?

Some would embrace. Some would dismiss. However, today, in 2008, the cell phone is a major part of our society.

The same is true with the message and abilities that indigo's are here to spread. What may seem far fetched, fantasy or off in the too distant future is actually right in front of you.

If I can take another stab at what you're thinking, perhaps it goes something like this:
"Ok, lets say for sake of argument all this is true. Indigo children do exist and display behavior and traits that set them apart. So then how did they get here, where did they come from, why are they here and what does that have to do with me?"

If you have any of those questions my friend, then you must stay tuned and read Part II in the series. In the next articles we will discuss these questions, as well as scientific indicators correlating with this information, specifically human DNA. Yes that's right...science is now discovering things that have been known for years, but because it was unproven with a microscope, it was dismissed as simply myth, until now.



Lovingly,

~May your feet always step forward on your path~

Greetings!

Recently a good friend and I got on the topic of religious and spiritual beliefs. She had recently “fallen away” from the beliefs she was raised with, non denominational Christianity. I asked what she believes now, here’s her reply:

I'm still in a holding pattern as far as my beliefs. I would like to think there is something bigger out there and sometimes well alot of times I send a prayer out because it does give me a peace of mind. It's almost like I give the worry away by sending it out in a prayer. and I believe it is important to love all people no matter your differences. Kindness of heart and humility. I am always on a path of growth and recognize that others are to. I try in every situation to handle in a good way, in a loving way. I try to be more conscious of Mother earth and recycle. So I guess those are some of my main beliefs. I guess more rules to live by. But I don't define my spirituality by a denomination. I enjoy reading about Buhdda and his lessons because I feel they hold the true meaning of love and not judgement. I dunno.


What do you believe?

My beliefs were not summed up so briefly, and still felt that I had not yet scratched the surface. Perhaps I need to work on being a bit more brief. Here is my reply:

Well I believe that there is a higher power, however as humans in this existence we have not come to a place to know this higher power and develop the relationship that most label as a relationship with God. What humans feel that they equate that with is a spiritual relationship with themselves, and the rest of humanity.

I believe we, as a human race, are all connected. It is essentially like a switchboard, that though we all have our individual buttons, we are all connected the same. As such, we have the choice whether to connect to what is beyond that switchboard, or to each other. Some choose to do, some don’t.

I believe that what people feel as spirituality, when they have that innate sense within them that feel is the hand of God, it is actually the divine within themselves, and the connection with others that they are feeling. Based on Jesus’ teachings, same with Buddha just different cultures (in fact there are many that hold that Jesus and Buddha were essentially the same type of beings, those that had completed their path) the gnostics taught that what Jesus was referring to was actually to open and get in touch with that piece of divine in all of us, and that doing so would bring gnosis (knowledge). That knowledge then leads to further enlightenment as you begin a relationship, of sorts, with your higher self. Imagine human spirituality as an onion. The Sunday churchgoers and “Jesus saves” enthusiasts, spiritually speaking, are in the kitchen chopping onions. When their eyes water they equate that to being touched by Jesus or God. In reality that is simply the first layer, and if they choose to keep peeling away those layers what they would eventually find at the core...is themselves.

The potential once this core is found is limitless. Human potential is beyond what even so called experts can fathom. We use a fraction of our brains, in comparison to the universe and the earth itself, humans are infantile. One of the biggest downfalls of humans is their arrogance.

George Lucas made a wonderful point about this in an interview I recently saw. He said if you take human progression and put it on a scale, from the earliest humans to now, he equated it at starting from 1, until now being at say about 5. People look back and see all the progress made and feel good about themselves at much of a higher being they are now, that much closer to 10. Except...the scale goes to a million.

Lucas said that the “cave men” thought they knew it all. When that wheel was invented well then that was all they needed. Humans now think they know it all.

I feel that people look back and see the steps they’ve taken, and because the steps are so far beyond what earlier man could’ve imagined, well than that must mean humans are getting close to their full potential. What is a human full potential? No one knows. We let our minds settle on what is a full potential simply because someone tells us that’s as far as we can go, or because no one has gone any farther. Both of which are futile arguments.

E.g. Christopher Columbus. The entire world, including all of it’s best minds, KNEW the earth was flat.
E.g. The Earth. Years ago, humans KNEW the Earth was the center of the universe.
E.g. Science. Years ago scienctists KNEW there was only three dimensions. Now they’ve discovered what, upwards of 11 I believe.

So why are humans so stubborn to keep believing that this current form, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual is the best they can accomplish? Well...because they’re humans. And as much potential as there is, right now that’s all it is, potential.

I believe there will come a time when the current way of operating will no longer work. That a change in how humanity operates will be forced, whether it’s wanted or not. Many will be receptive to this. And many wont.

Those who are receptive of this will begin to, or continue to peel away those onion layers. As they humans as a whole will begin to change, and with that change will come better understanding, better knowledge, and true enlightenment.

Once that happens, call it what you want, nirvana, nothingness, a spirit life....whatever label you want. But certainly not the end of existence. In fact, I would venture to say that humans understanding of say nirvana will be completely different at that point.

The way I see it, right now humans are looking for a diploma thinking they’re about to graduate, and they merely just got out of kindergarten. They are looking to answer questions, such as why am I here, what is my purpose, where do we go when we die, is there a supreme, divine, authority in the universe...all of which are excellent and valid questions. But they’re asking them with the physical and spiritual minds of a kindergartner. They are neither ready nor willing to yet accept the reality of the cosmos, which they are a part of.

I believe, in short, that in time that will change. And the definitions of “faith” and “beliefs” will be re-written.

So you asked me what I believe in. I believe in me. I believe in you. I believe in the collective, and the energy it maintains. And because it’s a collective and not a single unit, that means choice.

So I believe in my choice, and I believe in your choice.

I would like to open up a discussion about each individuals beliefs. What are they, and why?

Blind hope in God, good or bad?:

I saw a very precarious bumper sticker this morning. It was a play on the TV milk ads. It said, 'Got hope?' It's a very simple statement, or is it?

In all honesty, it very much frustrated me. There is nothing wrong with hope, nor promoting such an idea. I too have hope that humans can regain their humanity. However, when that concept turns into a hard and fast rule on how one lives their lives, it both saddens and upsets me.

Too often I feel humans place undue emphasis on the notion that 'God' will intervene in the world's affairs and instantly all the troubles, past present and future, will be wiped out by the divine hand of creation. What once was will be no more, and all those faithful ones, who kept their 'hope' alive will find justice and favor in god's eyes.

Sounds harmless enough, but what does that concept equal in human actions? Humans tend to start acting like the lab mice failing to find the cheese at the end of the maze. They know it's there. They've searched for it. They've hit plenty of walls. But rather than continuing they simply stop and wait for the scientist (god) to say the test is over and give them their cheese.

At what point did humans become helpless? At what point did taking action and contributing to society (whichever society one is one is a part of) equal saying certain prayers and attending religious services in order to win god's favor while waiting for a reward that is "due" to them?

At what point did two, both equally extreme ideals begin to take shape? The first group who very much see and feel an "evil" in the world, but trust that if they sit back peacefully and walk the straight line their religious leaders have drawn for them, that god will save them and correct the wrongs of other humans. Or the fanatic action takers who see the only way to do god justice is to take on the fight themselves, killing innocent people for their right to paradise?

Do you think that the Sunday morning televangelist asking for your money for his holy ministry is any better?

Perhaps you fancy the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons who knock on your door spreading their good news for your future.

In all of these scenarios what is the common denominator? A human taking an action because they've been told that's what god wants them to do.

I ask you, if god put humans on this earth to perform specific deeds to gain his approval, why give humans free choice? If the ultimate purpose for faithful humans were paradise (whether in a physical or spiritual state), why would god create humans in that environment, only to take it away and tell them to now work for it?

Based on Bible education, hence the basis for "Got Hope," humans have the capability to disrupt god's plan. Let me repeat that, HUMANS have the capability to disrupt GOD'S plan. God did not force Eve to "sin." Satan did not force Eve to "sin." Adam and Eve CHOSE to "sin," thereby creating, all on their own, an imperfect and mortal species. That being the case, why does that same species now thousands of years later wait for god to say, "Wait, I was just kidding. You can be back in paradise now?"

Humans as they stand right now are responsible for their own state. They created themselves. Humans are responsible for the good and the bad on this earth. Regardless of ones belief system there usually is a light and a dark, a good and a bad.

Many use these same polar opposites as explanations for what goes on in the world. If something good happens, it's because they've been blessed. If something bad happens, it's because they've been damned.

The last time I checked, humans in general do not walk around completely possessed by the good or the bad, unable to make their own choices. In fact the very notion that everything that happens is governed by good and evil, god and the devil, is giving that same power of choice back to the very god that it came from in the first place.

It would be the same as the mouse giving the cheese back to the scientist saying, "I'm not sure if I should eat this, so here have it back."

There is a plethora of belief systems on this earth. Each having it's own roots and sacred texts. I am not here to debate on anyone's beliefs.

I simply feel that "hope for the future" could aid much better if the basis of that hope was not divine intervention, but instead the proper use of power and energy that the human race created and continues to operate on as a collective species.

In simple terms, we all bleed the same, we all use the same brainpower, and we all want to be happy.

Do we not have the power to change what we've already created?

New Age Spirituality, Energy, Reincarnation and Healing:

Indigo Child Healing and Spiritual Aids

Greetings! I am feenx, a light worker (or you may use the term Indigo child). In my journey on the path of enlightenment more and more I find myself intrigued and eager to discuss topics that many consider taboo, are difficult to discuss but that yet bring us all closer together. There is nothing that we shouldn't be able to discuss and share with each other.

My first thought and intention in starting this blog was three fold:

1. Create a place where there can be active and open discussion on spiritual and emotional matters. This can be anything from religious dogma, organized religion, self-spirituality, incarnations, The Grid, Over Souls, psychic and other abilities, Indigo and Crystal children/adults, trauma recovery (e.g. physical/sexual/mental abuse), mental disorders including/specifically Dissociative Identity Disorder (D.I.D., formerly Multiple Personality Disorder, M.P.D.), family and romantic relationships, questions and advice.

2. To supply information for readers to do with as they wish. Many blogs on such topics have a tendency to present their information as fact. I present it as neither fact nor fiction, simply food for thought because ultimately YOU are the only one who can decide what is right for you and you alone.

3. Perhaps most important is the goal to invoke a flush of the senses. We all have a degree of curiosity, child like wonder, perhaps even a spiritual sense of the universe in which we live. Some are more tapped into this than others are, but every single human has questions, hopes and dreams about the vastness we are all connected to and a part of.

I feel that the combination of these three elements provides a fantastic aid to healing, enlightenment and growth. Openly discussing the topics described above helps us put our experiences into perspective while also giving those experiences a useful opportunity to help others. This by far is my utmost goal.

How though can this information help to heal? "Heal" is such a broad term. More specifically I feel the information we can present on this blog can inform, give comfort and hope, perhaps help you feel less alone and ultimately can help all of us on our journey to heal not only emotionally, but mentally and spiritually as well. A by product of this information can also enable healing in a religious manner. This by no means constitutes healing "spiritually," as religion and spirituality are two separate things.

I firmly believe that spirituality is something different and unique for each individual, and not something a mere writer should inhibit or presume to be an authority on in any fashion.

In my opinion for anyone who comes from a highly religious (or other severe influential background), to enable healing one must look at themselves objectively, with honesty, rather than through the glasses religion forces you to wear. Doing so is essentially looking in the mirror while wearing a mask. There is only so much that can be discerned about oneself when there are limitations, definitions and restrictions about what "self" is from the very beginning.

Dictionary.com defines self as "a person or thing referred to with respect to complete individuality: one's own self."

Just like with any repair project, you must be taken apart before you can be put back together. It may only be one element or part of you, or it may be the entire system, but with those religious glasses removed, even if just temporarily, you facilitate yourself to heal more effectively.

Furthermore, it is not my intention to promote or denounce any emotional or spiritual state, personal morals, belief system, or religion.

When I first started speaking of and writing on such topics my parents, who are very dedicated Jehovah's Witnesses, stated that it is likely my perspective of Jehovah's Witnesses and organized religion as a whole is skewed, based on my childhood experiences. This could very well be true. However, that does not mean that my perspective is incorrect. Just as someone who survives a brutal car accident is weary of driving, so am I a survivor of a brutal childhood environment, weary of abuse, religion and our collective mental status. As a society, do we become so accustomed to everyday dangers that we have in effect desensitized ourselves, and therefore do not realize the potential harm in our lives? Are everyone's experiences with family and religion the same? No. Does the lack of a bad experience mean one's environment was only good, and those who see things differently are simply misled by an anomaly in environment? I ask you to simply consider the information presented and decide for yourself.

We all are influenced in our thought and emotions by something, whether it's religion, the Bible, philosophy, literature, democracy, capitalism, etc. However, when we take such influences at their word as being the one true and "right" course of action, especially when it affects how we live our daily lives, DAILY lives, we are turning our back on making a conscious decision.

This holds true in therapy, healing and spirituality. Before one can truly heal or grow, a decision must be made to do so. For some it's a conscious decision. For others it's an unconscious one. In fact, they may not realize they've made the decision to start their healing or spiritual journey until they find themselves on the road to recovery and growth and refuse to stop.

Whichever ones circumstance is we have all done the same thing, we've chosen to strive for emotional and spiritual health, regardless the consequences. No matter the change within us that may occur, the fear of the unknown or the discoveries of things buried deep inside our minds and hearts, we have all chosen to change.

With that conviction equals responsibility. We are truly responsible, perhaps for the first time ever, for ourselves. No more can we with a blind eye accept "life" and "happiness" or "unhappiness" with the definitions imposed on us by so-called higher powers. We are on our own path, some long, some short, but all of them for the betterment of self. Without this conviction, the goal of truth for each of us, the world is essentially one big sandbox to stick your head in. There are many things to occupy you, but you'll never know who it really is you're occupying.

Therefore, the intention of this blog is for you to come away with a desire to truly heal, to grow or to continue on the path you've already started. My hope is that you feel a sense of accomplishment and much self love. We all deserve to be happy. Let me say that again, as it will be a focal point throughout. YOU DESERVE to be truly HAPPY.

What that happiness actually means is up to you.

feenx works from home while maintaining a blog discussing the above topics as well as those submitted by readers.
