INDIGO CHILDREN WON'T YA COME OUT TONIGHT
The following excerpts are from an article that was found at contraccostatimes.com:
Mainstream doctors, scientists, psychologists and educators shake their heads at the very idea of Indigo children, who are described as "old souls" returning to earth to usher in an era of environmental renewal and political rebirth born of peace and compassion.
Still, the movement has gained thousands of believers since it emerged in the 1980s, spawning an array of books, Web sites, services and specialists. On Jan. 27 to 29, followers are expected to line up to see a new documentary, The Indigo Evolution, premiering at more than 500 churches and community centers around the globe.
James Twyman is the producer/director.
"These new humans, this evolution we're seeing, is in answer to the mess we have made of the world," he says.
---yes, your four year "old soul" is really trying to tell you not to drill in ANWAR? sign the kyoto treaty? i don't suppose the political renewal to which they refer probably means the little indigos are going to vote for the GOP. I doubt the compassion refers to compassionate conservatism? but wait it gets even better!
Twyman was executive producer of an earlier film, called simply Indigo, that grossed nearly $1.4 million on its opening weekend in January 2005. A fictionalized account of one child's experience, that film was written by and starred Neale Donald Walsch, author of the best-seller "Conversations With God."
Hay House, the publishing firm that Louise Hay built with self-help and spiritual titles, reports that sales of Indigo-related books are at the half-million mark.
Among them, with 250,000 copies sold, is "The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived," by Lee Carroll and Jan Tober.
---now it begins to make more sense. the new kids have arrived to help people sell movie tickets and books! exploiting children does not seem to be very avant garde to me. so who buys this stuff? read on....
Carroll and Tober define Indigos as "restless, fearless" individuals who "believe in themselves ... have difficulty with absolute authority," and "often see better ways of doing things, at home and in school." They are in every country, on every continent, the authors say, and only a clairvoyant can see their auras.
Carroll and Tober recommend that Indigo children attend private schools that focus on individual needs, such as Montessori or Waldorf schools.
But educator Paula Moraine, faculty director at the Kimberton Waldorf School, says she's not sure there is such a thing as an Indigo. It is just as likely, she says, that parents are raising their children with more freedom of expression - certainly with more permissiveness.
....retired psychotherapist Doreen Virtue, says many Indigos also exhibit other, more troublesome traits: impatience, a sense of entitlement that borders on boorishness, and uncontrollable rage.
These children are so smart that they're bored and distracted easily, says Virtue, associate producer of "The Indigo Evolution" and author of "The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children" (Hay House).
The documentary shows only bright, happy children who excel academically and in the arts.
But in an interview last week, Virtue painted a darker picture. She says conventional teachers - and parents - are ill-equipped to deal with these youngsters. As a result, many Indigos are wrongly identified as having attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.
Instead of having their positive traits encouraged, Virtue says, the children are inappropriately treated with such drugs as Ritalin.
---AHA! are you a lazy parent with a brat for a child? of course not, you are a fabulously misunderstood parent of an Indigo child! What a great excuse! Now you can let the chirrun rule the roost and misbehave because they have a cosmic condition. Don't understand? Well, i'm sure it's just your ignorance. Only we special people can comprehend the reason we have a hellion for a child. It is the wave of the future you know.
TESTIFY!
Janice Girgenti is convinced that her son Daniel is an Indigo who somehow healed the family cat after a veterinarian said its condition was hopeless.
Joy Day Stevens, a marketing professional, says her Indigo child, 3-year-old Steele, often gives her messages from her deceased sister, whom he never met.
"Even at 3," she says, "he has a real clear idea of what he wants and what would make things better."
And Nancy Jean Walton, a Reiki practitioner, says her son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was in fourth grade.
"But I knew better," she says. "They suggested drugs, but we wouldn't allow it."
She says he's Indigo.
---cat healers? conversations with the dead? sounds like Stephen King doesn't it? children of the corn maybe? what really threw me was the reference to a reiki practitioner(ray-kay)? Yes, I had to look it up. She uses healing based on the application of universal life force energy...um, i just bet she does. is that even legal say in, utah? i say da mom is bonkers ergo bonkers kids.
here comes the punchline!
Meanwhile, Virtue predicts that no new Indigos will be born. Instead, she says, she's already beginning to see Crystal children, born with exceptional healing powers and the ability to communicate telepathically.
---without a doubt. there always has to be a parent whose child has to top another right!! oh, you're indigo child is soooo yesterday. i have a crystal. wait, i'm communicating telepathically with those of you who read this. and i just bet you can guess what i am thinking too. call me crystal.
