I swear it's not all the fault of todays youth, it's that this place, this game we are thrown into is such a rigged crock of shit and people so gullible that they eat everything the media throw at them with gusto (i love that word, will make it my signature) because they know no better. And I didn't know much better which is why I get so bitter sometimes. Oh well, if only I knew then what I know now eh?

I've never found anything even half-intelligent on there.  Except for Alex Jones having a profile, but just look at his bulletins and you'll see that even amongst his followers are plenty of idiots.

So then you have us.  And yes, we may still be idiots, but perhaps a little more enlightened than most?  Makes you wonder what we're doing here -- we obviously can't help much being so outnumbered by the idiots and the system itself... or can we?

kinsei- What I meant is that I'm hopeless and depressed because everyone that could be my friend is addicted to distractions aswell as my family.

Yea I love to write as I speak, formal writing isn't my style because I have feel as if the emotion is lost, mabye not in the writing but in my charisma.

If you like myspace so much, then go here.

He qualifies in my view as a Crystal child.  He's as stubborn as a little ox, but already shows signs of empathy that are amazing for a toddler.  Since before he could even walk, he's had a gentleness with animals that most children have to be taught.  He also has a strong sense of justice and fairness, and becomes  very angry when he thinks another being is being abused.

A funny story:  my parents have a dog named Gus who's a large black lab, and has lots of allergy problems.  Sean is extremely close with this dog, and they love to play together.  One day when Sean was under a year old, he was sitting in a high chair while my dad was administering anti-allergy eyedrops to a goopy-eyed Gus. 

Sean apparently thought this was some form of abuse, because he watched on with very apparent disbelief.  Every moment that passed he leaned in with eyes wide open as if to say, "What the.... can this be happening?  Are you REALLY doing what I THINK you're doing?"  Finally, he could take it no longer and he banged on his little highchair tray and said, 'EEEEEEEEEEHHHHH!!!!"  It couldn't be more clear what his thought processes were, and I thought it was so cute.   I told my sister that she had a future animal rights activist on her hands.

You'll know your old when "kids these days" no longer applies to you.

Huraah for a new generation of troublemakers that keeps us adults on our toes If they werent around we would forget what breeding is all about

"Every boy has to kill their father" I dont remeber who exactly said that in the ancient world but it is certainly evident in here as well. 70's value one thing so the 80's value another and the 90s another and so forth. Everything values a slightly opposite view of what the previous gender valued. 60-70's were hippies and 80-90's were generation X and so forth.

For a 15-year old you write with quite a bit of wisdom.  Admittedly, I had a hard time processing some of your text when I was first reading it (just spelling/grammar stuff), but I definitely remember back when I was 15 and was much the same way, so I'm certainly not finding fault there or anything... and more importantly, you seem to have much more insight into your peer group and generation's attitudes towards life than I did.  I also spent a great amount of time in high school hopeless and depressed, and I knew a good part of it was that I didn't quite see "eye to eye" with most of those people, but then I couldn't easily pinpoint why at the time either.  So in that regard, you definitely seem incredibly mature for your age.

With that said, you are absolutely right that distraction is the name of the game right now, but personally I would take the response to that in a slightly different direction than depression... because while it may not seem like it, honestly I'd say there is great hope left, and this era of relentless distraction is a critical half to this hope.

The reason I say this is that another half is coming soon... deprivation.  I don't want to look at it negatively in terms of words like chaos or collapse or whatnot, but more in non-judgemental phrases like deprivation and "forced detachment".  Coming calamities like climate change and deep economic recession/depression/downfall are almost inescapable now; with many of these issues we've simply taken the train too far to turn back now.  And just as relentless distraction can be depressing, extreme deprivation can also be extremely depressing, when taken on its own terms.

But when you combine the two, in the context of someone who goes from a life of permanent distraction of such a degree that everything is so loud they can't even hear the quiet inner voice inside their heads, and suddenly transitions to a life of such material emptiness that the inner voice is now the only thing they have left... I can only thing that that transition would be so jarring to them that the inner voice would be their new center of reality.  And as that inner voice is the very thing that connects us to our true selves, our real eternal nature... maybe, just maybe, the number of people who will finally "wake up" as a result of this very extreme transition will be sufficient to truly turn this world into the better place we'd always hoped it would eventually become.

At least, that's my take on it.

I think the Idigo description fits me almost form fitted, although I don't think of myself being better than anyone, except mabye in moments of rage.

Lately my personal awakening has really pushed me, not always helping me. And I had to have some guilty pleasures. Something to distract me, to think for me, to entertain me, to motivate me, to help me, to understand me.

The part of the description of Indigo people "not to sound corney or anything" is the habite to switch subjects, and usually whatever I write is incoherant and scrambled. I hurts me really to write clearly, I have urges to just bolt everything at once and rant on and on.

My generation, I'm 15 right now, is all about distraction, we are all so bored and surpressed we crave distractions, bloodythirst for entertainment, a relationship, myspace, T.V. and I above all am guilty of it. I learned over the years to lessen these cravings for distractions.

Writing poetry helps alot, and I'm lucky to have a great acting teacher who is really into everything here on NR, funny guy.

I look very young for my age my peer group usually take me for 1-2 years younger, ironically adults tell me I'm mature. I usually am in my "distration of peers" am looked down upon since I don't look as old as I "should" as well as I don't watch T.V. and where old shirts, I'm surprised i have a modern peer group.

Friends are assesories, a mirror of you and I have mabye mabye mabye one friend.
I often feel hopeless I feel as if im trapped not fully awakened , but at the same time it itches so bad whenever I distracte myself that I know im wasting my time.

MY GENERATION above all is not what they love to do but what they are, what they are going to be, they are blind to the view of institutions, programs, carrers as TOOLS. They define themselvs by what they have not what they do. A job as a teacher means to them they love being in a school, prowling amongst the students with great power. - My thought is a job as teacher is so that one who loves to share everything they know can use the institution of a schoolhouse as a tool to reach and spread there love.

We call inbalance being competitive and balance being lazy.  There is a clique of girls of boys in my school who love to talk about IQ scores, SAT's, test of personality, test that tell you what you are good at how you learn, and test on relationships. These are goody two shoes who believe in extreame knowledge of everything internal and external as a great gift they are scared of not being a genius, but above all they a sadist or something along the line, I should know I was one to fancy this cliche of thought.

There a those of distract themselves within the vast walls of friends they build a circle of distraction so that no matter where they go they are distracted, they feel the live on confidense the are the ones above all else. They are rich they are envy's envy they are ADDICTED TO DISTRACTION.Life is a game to them.

I'll spare everyone of my deep thoughts of high school cliches. (sarcasm) This is what is important not one of these groups does something, they are not cultures but networks. They are self sufficiant networks of distraction they've mastered it, or it has mastered them.

Ok enought of that rant continues.
I've begun a pyshic brigde with my thoughts of sorts. Synchs happen to me every day, coinsidenses beyond truth.

This generation has no poetry, only rythms can even try to stand up as poetry. Rap has degraded it self into distraction, I personally feel as if Tupac was a modern shakespeare the last inspiring soul of peotry.

I write peotry, often a diagnoses of my day, of my avoidenses with the boulders of distractions.

I myself often have troubles going beyond my five sense beyond black and white. NR might be a distraction also it's a grey area and It would hurt my ego admitting it.

Ok now to the subject of relationships. There are very little  relationships with my peer group just a couple of minds setting up a distraction for themseleves and then eventually break up when they are no longer able to distract themselves enough to enjoy themselves.
A Love is an idol , (A life is an Idol) " as Ivan Illich says"

This is why I am hopeless, deppresed because I try to starve my ego of these distractions, I guess I jumped in hot water.
It's not easy when the norm is distraction.

"Sanity is not Statistical" 1984 because if it is im a madman.

So basically distraction is the name of the game.

So naturally and of course there are people that are "regular humans" (if there is such a phrase).  I think it's all too easy for us to judge people on their outer actions and speeches.  And whilst this gives us an indication of other people’s thoughts - it doesn't put us in touch with their true "self".

And I feel that's where the problem is; in our society I see at least two aspects to this (which can then be further divided):

There are those who through various systems and forces have been put to sleep - or never been given cause to wake up, these are - usually but not exclusively - people of the age 40+.

Then there are the groups that appear to have manufactured personalities...these people aren't so much asleep at the wheel - rather they seem to be in charge of maintaining a false image based personality - this group usually comprises of people younger than 25.  People from 26 to 39 tend to fall into either category.

Ultimately it’s two different patterns that have the same result.

As I get further into understanding this – and this thread is becoming an aide to assist that understanding for all involved – it is becoming clearer as to the multiplicity of the numerous different ways people are asleep or “removed“?.

I use the term “removed“? because it appears that in the later younger category people seem more removed then they seem asleep.  But then maybe that’s just an incorrect assumption from my observations.  Though when you consider how differently each generation has been raised; it’s really not surprising this could result in people being spiritually disassociated in different ways.

Either way; I think Montalk makes a very important comment – that it isn’t for us to judge who awakens and who doesn’t…just as in the same way we cannot judge anyone’s purpose in life (if indeed there is a purpose for everyone or anyone)

As for the Indigo Children; in an odd synchronicity I followed a referral from my site and came across a fair bit of info. on Indigo Children.  However a lot of it does seem to be conflicting.

From experience one thing we do know (as Lyra and Auendove illusrate) that there appears to be people with a naturally higher awareness.  Maybe it’s too early to be applying labels to that, and maybe some of that info is bunk or plain disinfo.

But with that in mind here is some of the stuff I found.  Whilst some places state that Indigo Children were born after the 80’s, other information says there are numerous Indigo Adults who incarnated from 1950 and onwards.  The following characteristics can often be associated with Indigo Adults:

From:  http://www.metagifted.org/topics/metagi … ndigo.html

That can probably apply to a whole lot of people, but definitely moreso some than others.

So apparently there maybe some form of evolution occurring:

From:  http://www.angeltherapy.com/

So I don’t know.  It whiffs of New Agism in many respects; but that wouldn’t invalidate any deeper meaning or truth that exists around this information.

Like I say; whilst it is useful to find and learn from such information; I don’t think it is greatly helpful to start applying fixed language and labels to such things – as that will fixate our ideas in regards to all this (which is still greatly an unknown?).  Basically I think that principle of trying not to adopt a “belief system“? with regards to this applies.

Eitherway; something certainly seems to be happening; and it is a polarisation affect.  On one end are the people being ever deeper entrenched in the physical beliefs and systems (as my opening post discusses)…on the other hand we have people that are naturally “aware“? to a higher level than many practiced individuals – as shown in other posts in this thread.

If there is some design behind this, or whether it is a natural evolution – or just observations learnt from a greater amount of available information I really wouldn’t like to conclude…

i must say i can identify with all of the attributes on the bottom of the page http://www.indigochild.com/ but i'm guessing that would describe a lot of people here?

here are some other definitions
http://skepdic.com/indigo.html
http://www.sentienttimes.com/04/feb_mar_04/color.htm
http://www.greatdreams.com/indigo.htm (channeled)
the more i read the more possible it seems(assuming that the traits described are abnormal), it also seems to be very common now, the sentienttimes page says 95% of children in the last 10 years are "indigo"

what is it supposed to mean if you are an indigo?

I'm not fully sure, but I think were going to find out through this thread.

Scorpio? (lyra and I are both Scorpios)

Very impressive.

I thought you were just telling us about you as a child. It's too bad individuals often feel that if we talk about positive attributes of ourselves we'll seem to be bragging. You tell us all the good stuff about yourself as you choose to.

HA! This in itself sounds like an intuitive statement!

Deja vu happened to me a lot as a teenager and into my twenties, and I'm way to old to be an Indigo. That you have/had deja vu experiences points to how aware of your environment you are and that you're sensitive to "program changes" or glitches in the MCS, but montalk could explain this better than I I'm sure.

How would it change your life to suddenly find out you're an Indigo?

Please keep us abreast of what your research turns up... try googling "Indigo Children", I'm sure you'll get plenty of hits.

I just wonder, have kids always been this way??

Seriously, I don't think so.

Gosh, and I know what you mean by the soulful eyes of the babes. The other day I was in Home Depot, I turned a corner and halfway down the aisle was this cute curly headed little guy. As I was walking down the aisle I smiled at him and he smiled back. I was looking at something else as I was passing by him and felt his little hand grab me! He grabbed me and stopped me, and proceeded to beam at me! It was a very touching moment. His mom had to coax him to let go of me... I didn't mind though .

Me too. Definitely, I wasn't "wise".

I ate moth balls , my stomach had to be pumped.

... I'm tellin' Monster what you said. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're in trouble now.
