Hope?
“All my writing is about the recognition that there is no single reality. But the beauty of it is that you nevertheless go on, walking towards utopia, which may not exist, on a bridge which might end before you reach the other side.”- Marguerite Young
One of my friends recently asked, what is so wonderful about our world?
Nature: destroyed, food: toxic, people: psychologically unstable. All
the bad things you hear on the news. All the horrors than are still
happening every day… Women being stoned or buried alive for going
outside or for talking to men before marriage, masses of children being
killed as a demonstration of an ideology (Norway), militarization,
development of bombs that can destroy our planet 300 times over, natural
and unnatural disasters, ice caps melting, species of animals dying out
because of our over consumption or carelessness, people getting
attacked and killed for little green papers that have no value.
Does it make you feel kind of helpless?
Well, this is my response to this issue, I hope it gives you some food for thought:
There is a good and bad side in everything, darkness and light. But
light is always stronger, because darkness is simply a lack of light.
Bad things have, do, and will exist in the world, but they only seem to
be dominant because we hear about them more often. The good things are
the norm, nobody on the news bothers to tell you what good things
happened in the world, there wouldn’t be enough time in the program.
As long as people exist that are able to think and question our
reality, and strive to have love and light in our hearts, and spread it
to other people, then there is always hope for our world.
But the war can never be really over, because in the fight between
the light and darkness we grow. In an ideal world there is no evolution,
nothing to learn. Basically there would be no point to exist.
What do you guys think?
Live In The NOW
"If you aren’t in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.- Jim Carrey
Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.
- John Lennon
- John Lennon
Our entire lives are based on the future. Think about it. Ironic
isn’t it? We live now, to live later. We go to school to graduate, we
get a job to have money later, we meet people to get married and build a
family. We set up our lives for the prospect of being happy later.
My question to you is: what about the now?
It seems like we get so into looking forward to the future we forget
to stop and look around. Have you walked the same path every day of the
year, and only after 6 months or so you finally noticed something
interesting that’s been there all along? Where were you looking? Or were
you looking at all? Life nowadays is so stressful and busy, it seems
like we have retreated to living in our heads. And our bodies simply
serve the purpose of transporting our head.
Have we forgotten how to live in the moment? Why do I say “forgotten”? Because we had that gift. When we were children.
I love watching children. It’s a type of therapy for me. Not playing
with them, simply watching is enough. It seems to me that children are
the embodiment of everything that we adults have lost: innocence, sense
of adventure, unstoppable curiosity and thirst for discovering new
things, the lack of fear of failure, the confidence in their safety and
happiness. Children do not need two weeks to plan something fun. They
know that every moment is an opportunity. They believe in the
opportunity. If you think about it, its almost like… magic.
“Everyday, God gives us the sun- and also one moment in which we
have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Everyday,
we try to pretend that we haven’t perceived that moment, that it doesn’t
exist- that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as
tomorrow. But if people really pay attention to their everyday lives,
they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant that
we are doing something mundane, like putting the front door key in the
lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour, or in
the thousand and one things that all seem the same to us. But that
moment exists- a moment all the power of the stars becomes a part of us
to perform miracles.”- Osho
Now, I want you to go outside and take a full minute to just look at the sky. One minute. Look up, breathe. Feel alive.
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

- 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.Resources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo_children, http://www.teachingindigos.com/profile.html, http://www.skepdic.com/indigo.html, http://www.indigochild.com/
