How come you don't doubt the below?  I'm not saying that it isn't possible. I really don't know. But until a really deep intuition or my guidance tells me differently, I'm not going to conclude that the indigo child thing is true.

If such beings did come into this World, my guess is that they would do so humbly and quietly. They wouldn't feel the need to institutionalize the fact of their existence. Plus, they probably wouldn't come to know about it by reading about it in a book or the internet. A point would come in their lives where they would find out about it inwardly.

I might be wrong about this later point. For example, I first found out about the I-there/higher self/disc/oversoul viewpoint, from Robert Monroe's book Far Journeys.

I apologize if I'm telling you something you don't need to hear. To tell you the truth, I'm just not clear about this whole thing. It's just that I'm getting this gut feeling that it isn't right to put the possibility of advanced beings coming into this World, into such a fixed form.

I'm also concerned that some people will label themselves as Indigo children when they aren't. Also, some parents will put such labels on their children in order to make it seem as if they are special, as opposed to loving them just for who they are. Pure unconditional love doesn't need labels. It would be like trying to adorn a beautifull flower with an unnecessary decoration.

[b]I wonder if people in the spirit World are talking about Indigo kids.

I wouldn't doubt it

Thank you for sharing Justin 2710.

I read Cosmic Journeys recently (I loved it), and remember the part you spoke of below. And I pretty much believed it, without really knowing. I guess this tells you what I think about the rest of the book. I don't know if the indigo kids is the same thing.

Whatever the case, it does concern me that some people will start to believe that they are indigo kids, when they aren't. As opposed to asserting it, they should find out. And in order to find out if it's true, they don't have to focus on the idea, but rather should discover what manifests from within.

This is probably obvious, but I like what your first post says about treating a child who might be an Indigo child.

I am fascinated by mystic_dreamer's description of her grandchild and finding myself in agreement with revoverer's skepticism about labeling anyone "indigo child".

The Indigo Child thing has been around for several years and I have heard people wax a little too poetic with it. I think some were tieing it into the idea that there had been a change in the DNA, no physical evidence of which has been presented. There is no way to prove or disprove the claims around "indigo child."

I agree that soem of these kids are probably just hyper. I think I liked it better when I was a kid and kids were allowed to be hyper a little more, rather than just drugged. It is more boys that are affected by that, but as much as I hate to admit it! I think that boys on the average tend to need large muscle activity more than girls, though there arre exceptions. What we expect/tolerate from kids has changed alot.

What is most important is that Mystic Dreamer's granddaughter is exceptional and that she has someone who believes (in) her.

I do think children are open to something when they are young. I don't know how much it can be maintained.

Are there more gifted children in the world now? Who knows? What is more in the world now is communication...I think this is the Age of Communication....we share so much more info...like right here. But I think there have always been Rachaels. (and if she is so smart, then why didn't she know she needed to play the game and study in order to go to Harvard...and then once she got theere, would she be happy? The ones who study without  deep questioning are like drones, and I hear there arre many at places like Harvard or MIT).

Yes there arre some real exceptions...have you ever read about Gauss? (he died in 1855) Mozart was also a prodigy. Were they indigoes? If you want to read about more recent prodigies, read some of Ex-Prodigy by Norbert Weiner. He mentions William James Sidas in his book, too.  course, Gauss and Weiner were exceptional children who went on to be highly intelligent adults. That doesn't always happen. Ability to process large amounts of info at an early age does not mean genius exists. Besides after you read some of this stuff, you really won't want to stress the kids out with labels.

I haven't kept up with what Joseph Chilton Pearce is writing now. I think he bought land from Monroe. Anyway, Pearce is highly interested in (alternative) education and his ideas are worth investigating.

When I was about 5, I recall a particular day when I sat playing Scrabble with myself and thinking. And I thought that there was something in particular that adults did not understand. And I had something particular in mind. And I promised myself that I would never forget it. And I remember keeping that promise at least until I was 8 or so; I could recall the specific thing. But in time I broke my promise to myself.  wish I could remember...like, did I remember Heaven back then? But something changed...maybe when I die, I will know what it was. I bet many of us have stories like that. And when my son was about 8, he told me that he knew the secret of life. Why was he thinking of that? but he was. When I asked what it was, he genuinely could not verbalize what he felt. But he believed in himself, he trusted his feelings.

I agree with you also, It just seems to be chucked about alot. This test at the bottom i will try find the link, its so easy going in a sense that it makes out anyone is, and why i do think we are all special, yes there are some who stand out, but they are meant to in their way, not by ours.
