Do you have an INDIGO CHILD?

[maltesers]

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 ? ?

Well, exactly.I want evidence, not anecdotes. However heartening the anecdotes may be.

Darwin's children Not even very good fiction.

you mean glad i haven't dropped of this mortal coil?

not quite

Very very very well put unquietdad, and funny too.

I really don't think I am closed off to new ideas, just that I need evidence before I can embrace them. Without it yes I am VERY sceptical and with good reason.

Yes BUT many of the x-files episodes (not all) were based on REAL files.. best not to consider that too much!

And people would do well to remember what Shakespeare said.. "..there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy...."

What's so odd about new bits of DNA being activated anyway??

UnquietDad this is mumsnet not sciencenet ...its abit slow going those science journals especially for the sleep deprived! I can honestly say I am better at "stories", so stories usually rein, bummer human experience just ain´t enough.

Like I said earlier, lack of "evidence" has never stopped people experiencing and seeking out spiritual / energy lifestyles, healing and so on.

But! Here is some research about DNA being influneced by words and frequencies

The human DNA is a biological Internet and superior in many aspects to the artificial one. The latest Russian scientific research directly or indirectly explains phenomena such as clairvoyance, intuition, spontaneous and remote acts of healing, self healing, affirmation techniques, unusual light/auras around people (namely spiritual masters), the mind?s influence on weather patterns and much more.

HERE - this is a big site with loads of info

On a slight off tangent... been reading a book all about a theory that schizophrenia is what made the leap to the language/functioning style of humans we are today (and that dyslexics were the ones to design hand axes) - surely that is a genetic blip/change whatever that spread throughout the whole species - why can't indigos be something like that on a larger scale?

(The book does say it is a contraversial theory, so I have no idea where it stands in scientific circles)

not at all sure what you mean flame..about schizophrenia (or dyslexia actually)?

It made sense in my head, and none at all reading it

Was thinking about the whole dna being switched on and things changing - the theory seems to go that the schizophrenia gene evolved/was switched on (one or the other), and with it gave whatever was needed for mankind to make the next evoluntionary leap... the same could theoretically be true of indigos, if there is such a thing.

Did that make any more sense?

Burnin dinner - back later

that is the more scientifc link - that article was written by the festival site who of course have probably eaten lots of acid

so flame do you mean mental illness has helped us evolve to our current human status?

oh and tell your dh pruni that I only got as far as Evol. Biology 101 then branched off

I'm not asking for it to be sciencenet - just for there to be evidence of claims. It's not too much to ask.

So much woo-woo stuff is swallowed without question - science, though, is not a belief system, it's a tool for enabling peer review and critique of theorems in an even-handed context, and as such is the best tool we have.

If someone came on here saying that leprechauns existed, you'd want rather more hard facts than "well, I saw one once and this website says they exist." At least, I hope you would.

I agree with Pruni, that site looks loopy.

Yes Paps, that's the basic theory of the book (or it is for the first 3rd anyway ... switched to hogfather so I can finish for Sunday )

Leprechauns - I don't disbelieve the person who says it - I want to experience one first though.

Oh well, I'll shut up then! Clearly been watching too much Torchwood et al! [to Pruni's DH re DNA activation]

My "knowledge" of inactive/active DNA is derived purely from science fiction (as mentioned) and the best way to cure cystic fibrosis (switching back on the faulty CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) and thus correcting the problem which causes the problems in CF.. this is described as a matter of 'switching on and off' (at least to laypeople like my good self, who read the research stuff) but perhaps that's just a figure of speech.

Agh.. my brain aches..

Science is that which we can measure, see and prove and from that perspective, Spirit is maybe the last thing to find in any microscope.

When it come down to it - întuition and mastery of the mind are more my science! So I will naively stick to my loopy ways and wait for you all to provide me with some scientific evidence.

-puts feet up and closes eyes-

I agree quite a bit with Paps in some ways. I tend to want things disproved, rather than the other way around. As some of you know, I've come to the conclusion that some parts of my faith (Christian) have been disproved, or at least have shakey foundations.

As for indigo children, well, I firmly believe all children are spiritual. You can't prove it, but why would you want to when it is so obvious? If some people want to refer to that as 'indigo' then fine. But having read about what indigo children are supposed to be like I'd say it was the very opposite of spiritual. Having the Spirit in your life means not only a sense of self-worth (essential if you are then to stop being pre-occupied with self) but the knowledge of the worth and sanctity of others. 'Indigo children' as described would only have self-absorbtion. Certainly the article I read made it sound more like an excuse for permissive (as opposed to positive) parenting. I'm all for bucking the system and questioning authority but with humility and a sense of the worth of the others involved. It seems to me that to raise a child indulging it's 'indigo' tendencies would only lead to unhappiness as it's not exactly going to make it easy for the child to go through life.
