The Indigo

“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.” - Lao Tzu







Have you ever felt different? Like you serve a bigger purpose in life? Then perhaps I have an explanation for you. 
Have you ever heard of Indigo children?

The Indigo Child is a boy or girl who displays a new and unusual set of psychological attributes, revealing a pattern of behavior generally undocumented before (Psychologists and doctors started noticing them in the 1980s). 

The Indigo Child is recognizable by his or her aura and by certain other traits, according to The Indigo Children website:
They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it)
They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when others don't share that.

Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell the parents "who they are."
They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).
They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them.

They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and don't require creative thought.

They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (nonconforming to any system).
They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them, they often turn inward, feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely difficult for them socially.

They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did").
They are not shy in letting you know what they need.

Sounds like you or someone you know?

Furthermore, this also coincides with the recent spike in kids diagnosed with ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder). Most children who are recognized as indigo, are also diagnosed with ADD or ADHD. The idea is that, simply, they are the next step of evolution. They do not work well with the old system. That is why it is very important to recognize them. Because with their abilities, they can either become geniuses, or criminals.


Descriptions of indigo children include the belief that they are empathetic, curious, strong-willed, independent, and often perceived by friends and family as being strange; possess a clear sense of self-definition and purpose; and also exhibit a strong inclination towards spiritual matters from early childhood. Indigo children have also been described as having a strong feeling of entitlement, or "deserving to be here." Other alleged traits include a high intelligence quotient, an inherent intuitive ability, and resistance to authority. According to Tober and Carroll, indigo children function poorly in conventional schools due to their rejection of authority, being smarter than their teachers, and a lack of response to guilt-, fear- or manipulation-based discipline 


Four Types of Indigo Personalities
Humanist:
The Indigo Humanist will be the teachers, docotors, nurses, lawyers, businessmen, politicians and salespeople of tomorrow. They will work directly with the masses of humanity. Their high verbal skills and friendly manner will make them very effective communicators in whatever occupation they choose. Furthermore, they will participate in everything choosing to leave nothing out. They are the child that has all their toys out on the floor at once. Another trait of the Humanist is their avid reading. Instead of going to sleep, doing their homework or cleaning their room they will be found reading.

Conceptual:
The Indigo Conceptual will be the engineers, architects, scientists, astronauts, pilots, military officers. They will be more in their head than their heart and often involved in many projects at once. They will have strong athletic abilities to balance out their strong emphasis on head work. Control issues with authority figures of the opposite sex will create problems for them. Furthermore, they will have tendencies toward addictions which parents should note as a warning sign.

Artist:
The Indigo Artist represents the artistic, creative and more sensitive of the Indigos. These children are the creators in whatever endeavor they choose. They will make very good teachers, artists, writers, actors, poets, web designers, and musicians. In their pursuit to find what they are best at, they will try several genres of a field of interest. For example, the Indigo Artist may pursue pottery, printmaking, watercolors, sculpture, mixed media, graphic arts, and anything else in art before they settle down and become a master in that field. Whatever their choice, they will become a master artist in that area.

Interdimensional:
The Indigo Interdimensional will display the attitude that they already know it all. At an early age they will answer with comments like, "I already know that. I can do it. Leave me alone". Their superior- like attitude will sometimes be seen as bullying but in fact they are the thinkers and idea people. They will help bring in new ways of thinking, spiritual practices and often lead the way in non-conformist thinking or "system busting". Because of their non-conformist like ideas they may also not readily fit in with mainstream society. 



The main criticism that people have of this is "well, yes, everybody wants to feel special." But this is not the point of this. Yes, everybody is special. But there are different categories of people, and this is a very evident one that is becoming more and more obvious. We cannot and should not deny the fact that evolution is continuing. So why deny the fact that some children are just different? It doesn't mean they are more special than others, it just means that evolution is continuing and our society must keep evolving.
The danger in this is vanity. Indigos are already quite proud by their nature. But I feel like this is also a different aspect: its about understanding yourself and how things work for you and why. It's understanding that being different is a good things actually, and should be embraced. Be brave enough to be yourself.
