Do you have an INDIGO CHILD?

One of the top psychics in the country told me that my 6 yr old if special and an Indigo Child. Have bought a book bout them but still not read it. My son of 6 yrs has said some strange things like "I have just seen God back there with a circle of blue light all around him !" "I have seen him before in school assembly three times standing through the wall with a blue circle around him" He also mentioned a friend of his who makes him laugh, called Rufus who lived in our street, but says he is dead now. He says he died at 93 yrs in 1964 and he was killed. Whenever i ask him more he says "dont talk about it" but he did say the boy was called Rufus Riley.
Does my son see entities, spirits, or what ? ?

It sounds like he is lucky enough to have an open minded mum who does not dismiss things out of hand. I don't know what he sees, but it is clearly things that others don't perceive. It would be interesting to look at something like old census returns to see if there was a Rufus living in your street years ago.

My dd used to say that she could hear ladies talking in a foreign language whenever she was looking at her bedroom window.She didn't like talking about it either.It was when she was around 6-7 yrs .She stopped mentioning it a few yrs later.
I did ask someone "spriritual" and they said children were quite receptive to these thing s but outgrew them.

I personally don't know what to believe.

My son has seen Daleks in our house, in what way is that different ?
Sometimes he talks to them, and seems to feel they are unhappy and need love. He cuddles his Darth Vader doll as well.

You don't think this is anything outside his inagination any more than I do, do you ?

If it doesn't work for Daleks, why should it work for anything else kids say they see ?

I read an (unintentionally) hilarious article on Indigo Children in Green Parent magazine recently.

foxinsocks · 12/12/2006 22:29

I think you need to be quite careful. My parents were into all this psychic stuff and it used to freak me out a bit. I used to 'see' (in my head) some pretty weird stuff and if I ever spoke about it, it got super analysed by everyone and then turned into some psychomumble about me being able to 'read' other people etc. etc. and having some dead person's spirit in me blah blah.

Just be careful how much of this you mention in front of him, that's all.

twinkletinselpud · 12/12/2006 22:54

indigo children are warriors who can't stand to see injustice being perpetrated and the next generation from them are crystals and rainbows (poss other way round?). my info bit sketchy now as it's been a while since i last read anything on the subject

lornaloo · 12/12/2006 22:59

When I was in australia visiting dps mum we were in a cafe and a lady told me ds was very special and that I should get a book out on indigo children.
Haven't really looked into it but I think they are ment to be sent here by god to sort the world out....or somthing...haven't a clue tbh.

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 12/12/2006 23:01

Try goddessmums.com (or some variation of that spelling) - I know a few of them know a bit about indigo children.

DingDongDraculaOnHigh · 12/12/2006 23:03

well i didn't know what one was

just been looking around and it says on this site

that

There's a very good chance your child is an Indigo if he/she was born after 1992. About 85% or higher of children born in '92 or later, 90% born in '94 or after and 95% or more born now (some even say 99%) are Indigo Children!

So probably, yes!

(it sounds like a load of nonsense to me btw)

twinkletinselpud · 12/12/2006 23:04

(flamey is that you?)

when i was pg, my friend that i had met in a development circle suggested that i read anythjin i could about indigo children. the book i eventually "found" or was definitley directed to is by two authors, one of whom is jan tober. it is a really good book and helped clarify a few things about how i was feeling too.

colditz · 12/12/2006 23:05

From what I have read about indigo children, they make up 95% of the children born since 1992, and are either very empathetic, or very callous, are often labled ADD, rebellious to aauthority, etc.....

why, then, are they different from any other child? Surely it is the children who aren't indigo children who are special and different?

FairyTaleOfNewYork · 12/12/2006 23:05

my child is more purple.

tis me... who's you?

GlennCloseAsCruellaDeVille · 13/12/2006 07:58

I think it is an excuse to be very precious about your child and a potentially dangerous way of labelling children

From Wikipedia -

Characteristics
Carroll and Tober identify ten attributes that they assert describe Indigo children. From www.indigochild.com:

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 do not 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 do not require creative thought.
They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (non-conforming 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.
In her article "Indigo Children: What's an Indigo Child??" Wendy H. Chapman (enlightenment teacher at and Director of Metagifted Education Resource Organization) says that Indigo children will also display many of the following:

Have strong self esteem, connection to source
Have an obvious sense of self
Refuse to follow orders or directions
Get bored rather easily with assigned tasks
Are rather creative
Display strong intuition
Have strong empathy for others or NO empathy
Develop abstract thinking very young
Are gifted and/or talented, highly intelligent
Are often identified or suspected of having ADHD
Are frequent daydreamers
Have very old, deep, wise looking eyes
Some critics believe that these traits are not unique and are observable in most children (see Critical interpretations below).

[edit] Indigo abilities
Many discussions of Indigo children in New Age literature (including Kryon literature) claim that Indigo children are born with part of their DNA activated that most people do not have activated. Some claim that it is junk DNA that they utilize to "swap out" higher-dimensional information, giving them special abilities.

These abilities are said to include purging HIV, advanced genius and psychic/telekinetic powers [2] [3] speaking to the dead.[4]

LittleSarah · 13/12/2006 08:51

So 'they' say

DominiConnor · 13/12/2006 10:31

These abilities are said to include purging HIV, >advanced genius and psychic/telekinetic powers [2] >[3] speaking to the dead.[4]

I do love the term "advanced genius".
Are they smart enough to deal with parents who believe this ?

Monkeytrousers · 13/12/2006 10:33

Agree DC. It's explotative rubbish.

Your children are special enough without being purple!

LittleSarah · 13/12/2006 10:36

Madness indeed.

GlennCloseAsCruellaDeVille · 13/12/2006 10:40

I do think it is worrying that people are taken in by and become committed to this kind of stuff.

Quite weird indeed that people are spreading it by approaching people and making mystic declarations about their children

ParanoidAndroid · 13/12/2006 10:43

[snort]

ParanoidAndroid · 13/12/2006 10:44

I think I'd thump anyone who approached me out of the blue with this garbage! Mind you, I agree with the bit about acting like they're royalty. My DD has got this one off to a tee....

UnquietDad · 13/12/2006 11:01

No, but here is a turquoise child .

Is that any good?

As for the indigo stuff, I would recommend rearranging this mystical conjunction of words into a well-known sentence: load, what, bollocks, a, of. Does that help?

Also, the word "gullible" is not in the Oxford English Dictionary. Go and look it up if you don't believe me.
