Actually, Jenny, I was thinking it might explain away the last twenty years of my life - being superior is a bitch!

I agree with you Dave's Wife. I would find it difficult to understand how a superior being could allow themselves to be obese, bearing in mind the health penalty that is paid by those who are fat.The fact that a so called evolved being could be so ill mannered and self impotant doesn't compute either. If these children are the future of the human race then lord help us all.

Having been up to 220lb myself and still having a daily struggle with weight I did not consider that your original post could be called 'fat bashing'. It's clear that the majority of those who have chosen to post to this thread are of the same mind.

I would also say that, whilst I believe that PMs should not generally be divulged in a thread, if I was subject to one that I felt was offensive I would be quite likely to copy and paste it into the appropriate thread. If you can't put criticism in a thread then don't put it anywhere.

Where is it written that PMs are sacrosanct? It may be generally believed, but is it real law?

Sinsull - you perfectly expressed how I feel about these unfortunate children.

One really needed to see the broadcast to understand just how sad the situation is. The kids, who clearly have one or more of a variety of well-described disorders are being ill-served by their parents who cling to the hope that their kids are the saviours of the world. I'm sure the parents must feel very special having birthed a future messiah and that may be part of the pathology in play. The sad thing is, these children are being set up for immensely difficult lives as a result of this parental delusion.

The broadcast and subsequent cited articles cited showed that parents of "Indigo children' are encouraged to keep them out of school and focus their intention on their impending careers as Messiahs. They shuttle them back and forth from one New Age guru to the next to intensify their powers and so on, often at great cost. The kids featured all had inculcated arrogance that no doubt makes it nigh impossible for them to have normal relations with other non-indigo kids (something Indigo experts advise against).

Well, that kinda rules out team sports, ballet, track or other normal running and playing doesn't it? In addition to lack of exercise, the parents are told the children always know what's best for them and that the children should be permitted to set their own routines.

I dunno. I feel it's a form of emotional abuse of those children. I have friends who have kids with similar disorders (ADD etc) and food allergies play a huge role. Their kids do so much better when they are on a very careful but healthy diet free of sugars, yeast, molds, additives etc. And, grandiosity is one of the symptoms of some of these disorders when not teated.

To me, it's all a viscious circle:
Isolation from playmates
lack of exercise
no direction over diet or activity
constant reiniforcement that they are perfect human beings destined to rule us all

Perhaps I should have put the internet jargon "J/K' for 'just kidding' after my facetious comment about their morbid obesity. Still, if they are who they say they are and the angels reveal the secrets of the universe to them.. etc etc. that was my skeptical way of saying, it appears these child emperors have no clothes.


Sinsull also caught the other big sadness in all this - that an entire class of pseudo-child professional has grown up around it to exploit the needs of these parents - all for a fee. Go to Amazon and search on the topic - there's already a subculture of 'must-have' publications for the parents of Indigos. It's so very predatory.

That CNN gave it generally favorable coverage without having any skeptics addressing these issues is even sadder. Of course, CNN has a long hisotry of buying into junk science and new-age hokum. They continue to give favorable coverage to 'facilitated communication' for autiistic and profoundly disabled children. They've doine hour long documentaries of such children who, once hooked up with a college educated 'facilitator' suddenly see an 80 point jump in their IQs and start writing poetry.

But that's a whole 'nuther thread....

I had never heard of any such thing until this thread- don't know how I missed it - just now when I googled it, they had something like five million links to it!

A couple of thoughts here.

#1: The 'indigo children' are not necessarily ADD, the obese, the anti-social, etc, kids, are they? I ask, because I have noticed, for whatever reason, the maturity and wisdom of so many youngsters today.

#2, and not necessarily related: I have noted with astonishment the beauty of today's children. Part of the perception I'll lay to my age- I am agog at the perfection of babies' skin and joints and digits but I still think they are much PRETTIER than children used to be. Has anyone else noticed that?

I have had a problem of longstanding. I'll eat most anything between flaky layers of crust. Apples, rhubarb, kidneys, I'm there. I also develop my hearty appetite at the lanes, sitting in those fiberglass slider seats with my buddies and writing up the spares on circular formica tops. The sport of the gods, the plotz of the weekend sportstubbies.

Got to a point with me that I went to the physician about it. Told him I liked nothing better than to step into the universe of pin-setters and gutterballs, preferably with some brown-cardboard containers of Saralee or Entenmans, heavy on the grease spots.

Doc said I'm Pie-Bowler.

I've met more than a couple of these so-called "Indigo Children" over the last few years. Between them and their fawning airy-fairy new-age parents, well, all I can say with any conviction is ... *yawn*

Indigo Children (Wikipedia)

"... They identify ten attributes that best describe the Indigo Child:

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 it be known what they need."


Remember? In less 'enlightened' times, kids like this were simply called 'spoiled brats' and avoided wherever possible (except by unfortunate teachers and parents). The "Criticism" portion of that Wikipedia article says it all, imo.

"Alleged indigo children are often the offspring of new age parents. Exposed to new age thinking, it might be taken as unsurprising that the children possess a greater fluency of 'spiritual language' than earlier generations. Having been told that the vast majority of children are now "indigos", new age parents in fear of suppressing this 'special' generation may be encouraging behaviors that would otherwise have been thought antisocial. The traits listed by the authors could be interpreted as simple arrogance and selfish individualism...

...critics of the indigo children concept claim that parents relate to the hypothesis because it provides a more flattering conclusion about their children than that of conventional science."

Indigo Children have fixed beliefs that contradict normal reality. They see angles, speak to the dead, and profess precognition. (Speaking to the dead is hearing voices.)

There are other fixed altered mental states, Schizophrenia and the bizarre beliefs of long term users of Qi Gong and Kundalini Yoga. Qi Gong and Kundalini Yoga are known to create mental breaks. The true cause of those events has been published by VisionAndPsychosis.Net. (See the Qi Gong and Kundalini Yoga pages.)

All three groups have exposure to Subliminal Distraction. The explanation is too long for a blog post.
