indig-nation

About a year ago I came across a topic that deserves to be in the spotlight…or rather it found me. It’s something I’ve been reading about for awhile. I know in past posts I’ve talked much about personal philosophy, namely mine, and belief systems. It’s never my intention to convert anyone but I thought this topic was worth mention…

As part of a movement of people who believe somewhat in paranormal activity, past lives, and beings of higher intelligence, Indigo children are believed to be those who house a highly evolved soul that has survived and transcended several lifetimes. Often called “old souls”, Indigo children apparently emerged in the 1970s, now only making up roughly <1% of the population, to be regarded as some of the most omnipotent people, and harbor some interesting and specific traits. These include:

Bucking Authority - can range from subtle to extreme defiance but remains habitual throughout their lives.

High Sensitivity - highly emotionally intelligent and receptive, many Indigos have been “cutters” at some point and have had suicidal thoughts/feelings. They are highly receptive to the feelings of others and can often feel for others or sense another person’s energy from afar. For this reason it can be hard to be in public at times.

Depression is common - separate from emotional sensitivity, an Indigo’s unhappiness seems to be rooted in not consummating their personal power and not fostering connections with others like themselves. Often feeling misunderstood or like an outcast, an Indigo commonly does not recognize their own potential until it is noticed by another Indigo and it is only then that they begin to realize the significance of their loneliness.

Visionary - referred to as “Truth Seers”, Indigos have a hard time wilfully partaking in illusion and rarely act a role in a given situation without extreme discomfort. Naturally capable of seeing beyond exterior selves and performances, Indigos do not do well in occupations where unethical behavior is commonplace.

Don’t function optimally in systems - Indigos are the ones in school who are always questioning the professors and the rules. Always actively breaking down any system that is not deemed authentic, Indigos will readily execute public and private protests.

High School in particular is difficult - Can’t say it any better than this, “High school is all about being inauthentic and putting on an appearance despite the truth underneath. Indigos cannot play this game and high school is incredibly torturous for many.”

Feeling Alien - Many Indigos don’t feel like a part of their blood families and go on to formulate what they believe to be family with friends and other soul-mates outside their blood lines. As natural survivors, Indigos change the dynamics of their environment as soon as they are able to fit the atmosphere they desire to live in.

Patience is NOT an Indigo virtue - Understanding certain givens of life such as: ignorant people, waiting in lines, traffic, and slow response time is especially difficult for Indigos.

Opinionated and Ambitious - Born knowing what they want and how to get it renders the average Indigo squeamish about asking for help. They’d rather exhaust their own energy first and take no issue with being open about their beliefs. This strength can even be noticed in younger Indigos/babies.

Psychic & Intuitive - The most notable trait of them all, Indigos possess empathic abilities. It believed that Indigos are here to leave no path uncrossed and ultimately change the world as they systematically change those around them with each life experience.

Crystal children harbor the same traits as Indigos however, crystal children surfaced later and have older souls. An indigo parent can easily produce a crystal, a child that is physically younger than them but with a more finite understanding of the universe and an older soul.

I won’t claim that the theory behind this class of minds is true but due to my research on this subject I’ve begun to re-classify the people around me. To me there is a difference between a young person and a person with a young soul. Being young physically is entirely different than having a young soul and the variance shows up primarily in intellect. People with young bodies are simply beings that have not aged past a certain point or whatever the societal threshold for “being old” is. People with young souls may have physically old bodies but generally lack the mental capacity to see outside of themselves and the ambition to comprehend the greater world around them.

I had never sought out this subject but rather it found me. To explain further, an Indigo approached me about how I had articulated my religious views in a public forum. He explained that my understanding of worldly concepts and my persistent questioning of our current religious modules had caught him. Since then I’ve delved deeper into the possibility of me being one. Again, I am not out to convince anyone to adopt a new belief system or entertain the concept of Indigo people (or crystal children). I am fully aware of the human aptness to be competitive thus enabling many of us to think we are more than the average person, smarter and more attractive, faster and more successful…better than the next person for some reason we’ve imagined.

I don’t transmit this information for the purpose of believing I or perhaps others, Indigos or not, are just better than other people but as a way of making sense of the obvious contrast in people that have worldly intellect and the fuel to attain it and those who simply don’t.
