Hmmm. Well, I have no opinion about Indigo children at this point. None. Nada.

The only thing I can contribute is that I have seen 2 photographs that show auras. One was taken recently of a friend of mine, Lucy, and the picture was snapped using my digital camera, but I didn't snap it. The young daughter of another person did. We noticed the aura about half an hour later, when looking back through the various photos that had been taken that afternoon. There is unquestionably a pink, cloudy aura all around the top of Lucy's head. Pretty neat!

That got me looking around more alertly at other photos in the next few days, and I found one with a clearly discernable aura, not pink this time, but more like just a body of clear white light around the person's head.

I can offer no explanation other than this: both Lucy and the other individual have been applying themselves very much to spiritual development. It would not surprise me if they have strengthened their auric fields in the process.

There are numerous other photos of Lucy and the other person, and I have not seen auras in any of them.

And for that, I have no explanation either. All I can say is this: the auras in those first 2 photos are quite obvious, and I seriously doubt that they are anything BUT auras. What I mean by that is: they are not some other kind of light effect, given the settings and circumstances of those photos.

This should not be taken as a comment on Indigo children. I have no comment on Indigo children.

I've read Neale Donald Walsch's books, and I think they're very good.

'As PT Barnum said, "there is a sucker born every minute".'

Bush was counting on that being true, IMO.

As we go thru life, we are continualy reminded that there ia something for everyone. More proof, perhaps, that evolution doesn't exist. Thank God.

As PT Barnum said, "there is a sucker born every minute".
There are still snake oil salesmen in our midst and they profit from those who need an excuse for their behavior.
I always held out a little hope for belief in Psychics existing but that is barely a glimmer anymore.

OK.. her'es a fabulous article I found that explains this nonesne and bear with me pasting it, it's useful. I only quote the first half. the second half talks about the huge financial benefits of writing about, and catering to Indigo Children and their wanna-beleive parents needs.

here ya go:



INDIGO - The Color of MONEY

by Lorie Anderson

Many are excited about the upcoming New Age movie, "Indigo," written, produced, and directed by three renowned individuals who now live in Ashland - James Twyman, Neale Donald Walsch, and Stephen Simon. Appealing are the career opportunities, the camaraderie of movie-making, the promoting of spirituality and messages of peace and love. Promoters say it will stimulate the local economy and help our schools. But after examining the Indigo Child movement, and specifically the activities of co-writer/producer James Twyman, I see potential consequences for the community -- and for children.

INDIGO CHILDREN

The Indigo Child concept was first popularized by the book, "The Indigo Child," written by the husband and wife team Lee Carroll and Jan Tober. Carroll also portrays himself as a channeler for "Kryon," a spiritual entity who predicted the coming of the Indigo Children - will wonders never cease?

The authors say that "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." For example, they act like royalty, have difficulty with absolute authority unless given choices or explanations, are easily frustrated (e.g. when waiting in line), are not shy, have difficulty with guilt-based discipline, are non-conformist, may seem antisocial and prefer to be with their own kind, and may have social difficulties in school. I, for one, see nothing new, unusual, or unheard-of here.

The Indigo Child concept may appeal especially to parents of children with mental health challenges, e.g. ADD, ADHD, autism, bi-polar disorder, conduct disorder, or a difficult temperament. Proponents target these label- and medication-wary parents. So, what is the harm in giving parents a positive spin on their children for a change -- like Indigo?

Besides parents possibly foregoing beneficial, if not life-saving, treatment for children with mental or neurological disorders, some proponents of the Indigo movement infuse children with a false sense of human superiority and a bizarre paranormal identity. Mutilating science while claiming scientific proof, children are led to believe by trusted adults that they were born members of a new breed of the human race, the next step in human evolution, that their genes were somehow altered -- perhaps as a result of divine or extraterrestrial intervention, or spontaneous genetic mutation accomplished by non other than the children themselves. Some children come to believe they are endowed with extraordinary powers such as clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, healing powers, pre-birth and previous life recall, etc. Tober and Carroll tell us that Indigo Children don�t fit in and feel uncomfortable when not with other Indigos. Small wonder!

Similar to the Indigo Child model, you may hear about The New Children, The Masters, Ascending Children, Star Children, Crystal or Chrystalline Children, Metagifted Children, Millennium Children, Children of the New Dream, Children of the New Times, Children of Aids (genetically altered child beings who are immune to all disease), and Super Psychic Children, etc. James Twyman seems to prefer the terms Children of Oz or Psychic Children (and as of 10/2003, "The Mystic Children").

That Kryon fellow is a crock. He came to Casper and my brother was asked to perform a meditation piece of his on the piano whilst folks were coming into a seminar/service Kryon put on, and also during a meditative period. The only reason Kryon and his company were there was to make money. He was obviously full of himself and insincere.

I haven't seen anything about so-called Indigo chidlren, but that list of questions at the second site would fit several categories of personality disorders, etc., imo. They do sound like excuses for lazy parents.

That being said, though, I do like to believe humankind IS evolving with
each generation learning and perhaps teaching a bit more towards a higher mas concsiousness.

It was probably Kirlian Photography which was used to show their auras.

Yes but if they are so superior, why are they all so farking obese? If they can't talk to angels, why don't the angels say "put down the fork, sweetheart"

Whoo! Learn something every day.

OTOH, maybe it is true and this is an emerging bit of evolution. A hundred years from now, maybe blue people will be the norm!

Yes, I saw the program

well, one sorts data according to one's predisposition and sees what one expects in it.

They were 'photographing auras' also. It gave me the blues.

I don't know how many other Mudcatters caught this, but here in the US, CNN did a major story last night on the alleged presence among us of "Indigo Children" all of whom were born after 1979 for some reason. They see angels. They are mega-gifted. If you snap a fancy Polaroid of them, they have an Indigo coloured aura. They are supposed to be the next stage in Human Evolution and are here to "save us."

Now mind you, the kids they talked to were mostly obese, ill mannered and terribly self-important. I suppose if I believed I and my kind were here to save the world, I'd have an ego too, but I just don't get why they are all so fat.

Has anybody else heard of this utter nonsense?

It seems that most of these kids have been diagnosed with ADD or have major problems with authority and their parents have seized on this Indigo Kid thing as an explanation for their loutish behavior.

Here are some links:

Indigo Children

Indigo Children Psycho babble for believers

So.. supposedly Edgar Cayce predicted all this. Funny, he didn't warn us that these kids would all be FAT.
