Crystal & Indigo children

I have been told that I am an indigo since I was little, by many, many people. I learned what it meant when I was older, and determined definitively that I am indeed one, and a rather classic example at that. This is actually part of the reason that my username is IndigoSensor.

I know not everyone follows this belief, but I do (with some reservations and my own interpretations). Take it as you want.

 

I'm sorry, but I'm going to be honest and very blunt. I came across the whole indigo and crystal theory a couple or few years ago, and it looks completely made up to me. I don't believe it at all.

I don't remember any details since it has been years since I went through everything, but basically, it looked to me like a New Age-ish scam designed to appeal to people's need for security, especially the parents of children suffering developmental disabilities (e.x. autism). ADHD was another issue that the theory cited, and that works very well because ADHD is way over-diagnosed. It gave parents an opportunity to think "there is nothing wrong with my children, they are just special".

There are much broader implications of this belief system. It seems to be a desperate attempt of people to feel a sense of security that the world is getting better, that this new generation is going to show up and fix things. Really, it is just a way to alleviate the sense of helplessness and avoid responsibility for the world's problems. Supposedly, my generation is going to be the generation to change the world. But I've seen what my generation has to offer, and I don't think we have anything particularly special.


Don't get me wrong. I appreciate New Age stuff, especially Neo-pagan religions. I just don't see any good reason to believe in the indigo-crystal theory, and I see many good reasons not to believe in it.

I also have an existentialist bias.

 

Whole indigo/crystal theory is overplayed in my opinion as well. I simply view it as a "catagory" for people (I am always looking for catagory).

I am an idealist by nature, trust me. Nevertheless, as dragon said, I feel this is just a way for newagers (and yes, I am one of them) to make everything seem like gumdrops and sugar fairy lands and that all will be good and have some kind of utopian end to it. Which, won't happen. It's a catagory, and a way to classify energy patterns. Not much else.

 

Sounds like a good ploy to sell books.

 

Actually, I find this very interesting. It goes along with the idea about the Age of Aquarius that was in the 60's. I think that so many people took drugs to reach a higher state of consciousness. I think that it backfired and many peopl's minds were destroyed by drugs. I HATE drugs. They destroy you. Please be careful. A rash choice in the moment can lead to a life trying to overcome addiction.

Anyways I think that people are going more and more towards being open minded and are more intuitive. I saw this with my generation. My friends and I as well as most others were the generation that embraced more new age way of thinking that the previous generation rejected.

I am 41 and there are so many people around my age that really were more open minded, interested in astrology, tarot cards, and numerology and the like

To me this was a phenomenon when I started to see that others were like I was. I wondered if Gary Sutcoffs idea of a group conciousness was right on.

He wrote a book called "Seat of the Soul" or "Seed of the Soul." He said that people used to use only the 5 senses. Now there are more and more people that use the 6 senses. The 5 senses plus intuition or 6th sight. I think that he was saying that human race was evolving.

Take this leave this I just wanted to add it to the discussion. Gary Sutcofff, I must go and check his name, was a Vietnam Vet and a scientist. He drew on his experiences to write this amazing book which I need to reread.

 

It was most often someone coming up to me, and or my mom and saying, "you know you / your son is an indigo, right? Take care of him / yourself". This often happened when we were at some kind of spiritual meeting. Some random person whom we don't know would come up and say it to me and just say to me and her. Friends of us would tell us too. It was all to conincidental. So we looked it into it more when I was older, and I am a textbook case of it. The only thing I don't have is a bad temper, instead I am just rather moody, lol.

 

I have had sort of psychic experiences before in dreams, many events that I dream up actually end up happening, however I can't control them, they just happened. I think many INXX types might have experienced this, specially those with strong N's. I don't know the validity of this theory however.

 

I fit nearly 100% with the "classic" descriptions of an indigo, and I'd agree with what's been posted here thus far. Namely, that there are people who fit the indigo/crystal descriptions, and also a set of books/people looking to cash in on the phenomenon and relabel symptoms of ADHD as "Indigo."

The quintessential descriptions of both I consider to be those in the book "What Color is Your Aura?" by Barbara Bowers. The test is fairly accurate in my experience, and since Bowers' death, it has spawned a couple of others utilizing her work in different ways.

Pamala Oslie - near direct ripoff with little added
Sandra Seich - extrapolated personality results through the now-defunct Ansir test, which I really enjoyed.

 

Same here.

Every single person I've ever met who claims to see auras has told me my aura is indigo. Especially when I was younger (and I suppose there were fewer of us), this caused them a lot of fascination. The part that I found compelling was that none of these people knew each other, and yet they all described the same colors. Back before most folks who are into this stuff knew about the indigo people, I'd have people tilt their heads and stare at me, saying "You have the weirdest aura. It's like a bluish purple, and it glows... not like normal." But, after a while, people started telling me I'm an indigo.

Funny thing though... I'm a minister, and when I pray and get in touch with the Holy Spirit, people who don't normally see auras tell me they can see or feel a bright light clear aura that is very strong and causes them to physically feel a sensation of energy like heat or electricity. When I'm in this state, no one has ever told me I was indigo. In fact, the people who can normally see auras tend to just stare at me slack jawed. I always thought that was fascinating. God's presence on me is much more evident than my own presence when it's not. I've also channeled that energy into faith healings when in this state, as well as some other miracles, like starting a car that was by all reports dead.

I don't know if these two things are related, but I thought it worth sharing since they might be.

 

Not that I really buy this, but I'll ask out of curiousity. I had a roommate who studied under a Chiropractor.. I guess she was into the aura thing, cuz she told me that mine was like a deep blue with a layer of black over it. She said that it gave off intense energy and made her uncomfortable sometimes. What is that all about?

 

I have a friend who is really into these theories and these Earth Angel books. She has determined that she is an Indigo Child, while I am a Knight-Paladin. It sounds like the OP may or may not be a branch of the same theory.

While I've always been drawn to the otherworldly and New Age-y themes, I have to be honest and say that my interest and my belief in these things are divided by a very wide and mile-long perimeter.

 

Aura patterns are all related. I think indigos are more of a "stand out" aura, in that they have a distinct energy signature. Also, that they have the abillity to channel things in, which is what I think you are doing.

My energy is much softer. I don't have a strong presence, but when I am noticed, people tend to not let go.

 

Yes, I am deeply interested in this too, once someone who was a specialist in this told me I had an indigo aura, but I did not gave it much attention at that time, this seems very interesting.

 

A black layer is a gaurd. You likely put it their out of protection for yourself. The problem is this is a two way barrier. Nothing gets in, but nothing gets out. In the long term this can be unhealthy because you are stifiling yourself.

 

I don't know whether to believe in this theory or not (cause I haven't researched it or anything), but a long time ago I had a crush on a guy that said he was indigo (as with IndigoSensor, people would often go to him and say that). what always amazed me (and everyone) about him was his intelligence and critical sense of the world. I'd say he is willing to die for something he believes in. he was also constantly looking for the absolute truth of things (oh, and he was also a little moody and chaotic )

 

This sounds a lot like me, if people ever compliment something about me is intelligence and analytical skills, and I do have that passion for fighting for what I believe in, I am very curious as well. I am very moody and I have been told my world is a complete mess. Once again though I do not know enough about this theory, I could easily fit into another type, but now the thought is in my mind lol so I guess my task is to research more on the topic.
