Hi ehhnus,
Well, I don't profess to be an expert on the Indigo thing, cause really, it's a very speculative topic with no real concrete proof, BUT, here's what I think might be going on with this phenomenon:
First off, the background --
Indigos are kids that have been born within the past 25 years or so that supposedly have an aura that is predominantly blue in color, versus a more well-rounded, multi-color aura, (hence, the name "indigo") and who have personality traits of the following (and this list is the standard list of traits that you'll find floating around on the web):
1. They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it).
2. They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when
others don't share that.
3. Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell the parents "who they are."
4. They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or
choice).
5. They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult
for them.
6. They get frustrated with systems that are ritual-oriented and don't require
creative thought.
7. 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).
8. 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.
9. They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father gets home
and finds out what you did").
10. They are not shy in letting you know what they need.
Now, here are some of my thoughts on this. How do we know for starters that these personality traits are a "new" phenomenon? With the exception of their supposedly predominantly blue auras, there's no way to tell whether or not today's kids are any different from a kid that was born in the 1500's, for instance. We weren't there in the 1500's. I mean, seriously, haven't there ALWAYS been impatient people who don't like to wait in lines, people who feel they are "special", those who feel uncomfortable in social situations, people who are creative and smart and can come up with a better way to do things, etc. ? These are supposedly some of the traits of the "Indigo Child", but none of these traits are new! If nobody in history had ever had those traits, then we wouldn't have all the art and architecture and culture that we have. We wouldn't have such a thing called "Progress".
And regarding the blue auras -- most of us can't see auras. So we're taking it on faith that supposedly most kids today are "blue", and not multii-colored. I mean, I know I can't personally verify this. I can't see auras. So again, it all hinges on the supposedly blue or indigo colored auras which set these kids apart, and, the fact that people in the early part of the 20th century had mutli-colored auras. But most of us weren't around in the early part of the 20th century. And even if we were......most of us can't see auras. So really, how do we know??
And on the flip side is the negative aspect to the above list of traits. Discipline not working. Demanding what they need, and taking what they want. (this wasn't the exact wording in the above list, but when you do further research, that's what you will find, that Indigos are pushy, aggressive, demanding, and take take take what they want, no guilt, no questions, with that sense of "entitlement", and "royalty".) Being impatient, anti-social, resisting authority. In fact, if you look closer, some
of those traits are downright bordering on sociopathy. Are these kids "enlightened" or are they just lil' sociopaths in the making?
In all fairness, there may very well be an influx of births during the last 25 years involving souls of an enlightened, higher vibration, coming in to "raise the vibration" on this planet during the "2012 transition".......and all that New Age jazz. I really don't know. So if that's true, then we have to realize that all things must be balanced, and if there's going to be an influx of "good", then there must be an influx of "bad" as well. If this is the case, then I think part of what's happening is the bad and the good are getting mixed up in that above list. The New Agers are lumping both into the same group without realizing what's going on, so the bad are being confused for the good.
I just know that for me, I have about half of the traits of an Indigo, but it doesn't mean I AM an Indigo. I hate waiting in lines, and unless I absolutely have to, I WILL not do it, period. I only feel truly comfortable and at ease with like minded people, and so therefore, really don't have any friends because it's so hard to find people who are like me. And I used to know a woman who could see auras, and it seemed that everytime I asked her what color mine was at that particular moment, the answer was always "blue." Blue blue blue......how boring! I thought at the time, never having heard about "Indigo Children" before. And so on. But I still don't know whether to fully believe in this concept or not.
It would be nice to find someone who sees auras and who is trustworthy, not all flakey New Agey and who could verify once and for all whether or not this is a legit phenomenon. There's just so much disinformation propaganda floating around out there, and I half suspect the "Indigo" thing is yet another manufactured disinformation campaign to confuse the New Agers.
