Many Shades of Indigo: The Who's Who Guide to the New Children

Many articles and books have been written on this subject about the different 'types' of evolutionary-accelerated children we are seeing these days. I tend to call all these different children--whether indigo, crystal, or starkid--either indigo children or new kids. For me, I prefer the term indigo rather than the generalisation 'new kids' because it's the original term that people recognise. I use it so that I may talk about the process of evolution, rather than 'types' of children, and thus don't see why people make such a fuss about the terminology. You see, I am a process-centred being rather than a 'type' centred being, for want of a better way of putting it! And I don't like to view the process of evolution as being akin to 'the latest model' worldview which so smacks of the materialistic and commercial world we live in.

What am I trying to get at? Well, it's this: No matter how much you try to define our new children 'this' or 'that', there is as much difference within a group of indigos, or crystals, or whatever, as there is amongst the general populace. They are all different! I've met indigos, who, despite having many of the indigo 'traits' like myself, were vastly different from myself. So different, in fact, we might always be at logger-heads, but then I suppose that's kinda one of our traits anyway! And I've seen massive differences amongst those children perceived as being indigo. The cynic may say some of them were indigo and some were not, but I think otherwise...

And the most important fact of all is that no-one, no matter what 'model' they were born as, stays the same. Not only does evolution mean that children can be born wired up very differently, but the evolution is not just something that happens when you receive a new body! It's, as suggested in the last two ascension 2012 articles, something that happens all the time within our minds, bodies, and souls, at whatever age we may find ourselves.

One way of looking at this is to say 'If your born from a certain year onwards, or if you have these traits, then your indigo', or crystal, or starseed or whatever. The other model is to see the bigger picture which may even go beyond this blink of a life-time and say your an ever-changing being. Of course, though, there are apparent differences and similarities between these children which lead to seemingly valid distinctions being made and I'm not pro or con that really. Ultimately, my point is this: If you were 'born' indigo, it's very unlikely that you still are.

And no I don't mean that your out of date...rather, that you've been updated! The process of evolution goes on. And thus someone that was born indigo may now be 'crystal.' How? Well because evolution never stops, it only slows down or speeds up. And of course, during an ascension period and what with all these new children being born, the more of them that choose to come here, the more our planet's--and hence our--vibration is raised, no matter which 'box' we choose to put ourselves in! Along with all the vibration raising that our social-scientific-spiritual revolution is creating...

Okay, now that I've gotten that off of my chest *takes a deep breath* here's a quick definition of the various shades of indigo:

1). Indigo Children. Firstly, there are the new breed that started this all off, the indigo children. Said to have indigo auras, they started appearing en masse in 1979, the year that I was born surprise surprise! They are the new children (many now adults) that came in to 'bust the system'. They are the fiery ones with a tendency to question everything. Hence they often receive the psychiatric labels of 'ADHD'. Often considered wild and untameable, the energy they brought in was of a very multi-dimensional nature, here to bring that which no longer serves us, or is lacking integrity, to the surface. They are the warriors who paved the way.They are still around of course, but many are being upgraded to Crystal.

2). Crystal Children. Having met endless indigo children and adults of varying ages over the years, I actually dated the need for the term 'indigo'. I thought maybe crystals were just quiet or chilled out indigos! But when I met my first crystal child, there was no doubt about it.

It was my mother's friend whom we bumped into in 2007. She had a daughter and a younger son, the son being very wild and hyperactive, and hence a likely candidate for indigo energy. My mum's friend had a baby daughter whom I hadn't yet seen. She was already a year old. She was pale skinned with blonde hair, very beautiful and delicate looking, and yet seemed to have an 'old' look to her. She had amazing blue eyes and there was an incredible sense of quietness and peace with her. She made no sounds whatsoever, and gave the impression that she was non-verbal. I was totally aware that she was a new child. But what really blew my socks off was when standing to one side, and thus with a view of my mother and her friend talking as well as the baby girl at the same time, I observed something which said it all. As they discussed things, I noticed that her face changed rapidly. I was aware that her reactions were in response to what they were discussing, but with one important distinction--she'd react just BEFORE the change in content with the releavtn emtional response. Cynics will say I imagined this, but the next part we all could not have imagined. The little girl started to look upset, and then my mother suggested she'd 'love' to babysit for her daughter sometime. I looked at my mum and moved my eyes to indicate 'look at her'. She was totally distraught. The question was how did she know? Simple. She was totally tuned in to her mother telepathically.

I now know that there ARE another set of new children that are distinctive in the following ways: Being non-verbal, highly telepathic, and carrying a sense of peace or quiet with them. These are the 'crystal' or 'cryst all' children, that do not tend to be present in the throat or third eye like indigos, but in the heart and crown. They are delicate and sensitive and have been able to come in, usually after an indigo child has done much warrior healing within a family. They are also bringing us collectively to a higher level, and indeed helping their indigo brothers and sisters receive their crystal activations!

3). Star Children. I call these 'indigo starkids' because 'all starkids are indigos but not all indigos are starkids'. In other words, there is a sub-section of the indigo children who are highly focused upon their starry nature. They are of a galactic disposition, and may report past or future lives connected to other civilisations in space, what we would call 'extraterrestrials.' Starkids, of which I am one (well, a grown up one now) also go a step further and feel that they are not actually from this planet. I used to feel the same way myself, but now comfortable with my earth nature as well as my star nature, I help such children and adults to remember they are neither or both, rather than one or the other, and that they chose to incarnate on planet earth--as a Human--for a reason. I call this consciousness splintering 'Multi Dimensional Personality Confusion' and is one of the main reasons for my work. More on this in future.

Who are the Indigo Children?

Who are the Indigo Children?
by Jamie Basil

The indigos, by their very nature, can be hard to define. They resist labels and hate nothing more than limiting perception. However, we live in a world of labels, and so whilst 'indigo' may seem inappropriate in many ways, we realise there are worse labels out there like 'Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder', a common psychiatric explanation given for these children (and adults, because many of us have grown up now!). Doreen Virtue turns that label on its head beautifully by re-labelling ADHD 'Attention Dialled into A Higher Dimension'! Enough said...

Indigos were first noticed in modern times by Nancy Anne Tappe in the late 70s, a parapsychologist who started noticing children with indigo auras. By 1984 it was believed masses of these children were coming in, and today most children are 'evolutionary changelings' of some kind. They are referred to, in general, as 'the New Kids on the Block', preparing us for what lies in store 2012...

Please note that the indigos, crystals, star-kids (whatever you choose to call them) may be different but they are still human. The main point is that physical age has nothing to do with spiritual and psychic wise-ness. The Soul has it's own age. In the words of Swami Prabhupada:

'The body is changing--from one form to another--but the spirit soul is existing eternally without changes. ...our body has been changing... This process is generally known as 'growth', but actually it is a change of body. On this earth we see change of day and night, and change of season. The more primitive mentality attributes this phenomenon to changes occurring in the sun. ...weaker...[or] dead. With more advanced knowledge we see that the sun is not changing at all...'
 
And with more advanced knowledge we find that physical age does not determine Soul age. We are all 'older than our years', including our children!

So how does one work out if you or your child is indigo? Well, I believe we are all indigo really, which is a big part of why the indigo children are here in the first place. Simply by being here, they wake us up through rememberance of their original state, to who we really are. Many of us have forgotten, but the indigo remember although they don't necessarily know that they are 'indigo'. They may thus be recognised by the following traits:

1). They are very strong willed and may appear 'opinionated' or 'cocky'. They dislike any form of authority.

2). They are system busters and assumption questioners. Instead of accepting explanations like 'That's the way it is' they ask 'WHY is it THAT way?' Instead of just looking for problems they also like to find solutions. They can go into any system, and, without training or education, quickly notice inconsistencies and hypocrisy.

3). They are often mis-labelled as 'ADHD' (hyperactive and attention deficit), autistic, AS (asperger's syndrome or high functioning autism) Bi-Polar, dyslexic etc.

4). They are highly intelligent, but often not classicly so. In other words, they tend to have high IQs but they may not perform well in schools or tests due to boredom. Note that at least a quarter of children with high IQs, sometimes at genius level, flunk school exams! They may also have genius in some intelligence other than IQ, for example creative genius. (See below, also, for 'high SQ').

5). They are very wise and aware for their age. May appear spiritually precocious and knowledgable (separate from religious knowledge). They have, in other words, a very high SQ (Spiritual Quotient)!

6). On the Myer's Brigg personality inventory they tend to score as ENFP (extraverted, intuitive, sensing, perceiving) types. I predicted this whilst at Open Univeristy studying psychology in 2001. A recent surge of indigos reporting such scores on the Children of the New Earth magazine chat room has appeared confirming my logic. Of course, I am an ENFP too, which is why I made the prediction, as well as the fact that ENFP's tend to outperform the other 15 types on tests of Psi (or ESP, extrasensory perception) according to research.

7). They will report feeling chronically estranged, 'lost', and searching, with a strange anxiety that 'something' is going to 'happen'. This, I believe, is due to a semi-conscious awareness of who they really and their life mission which is related in some way to the environmental, social, and spiritual-scientific revolutionary changes (aka 'ascension 2012') that are happening on Earth. Once they become conscious of this, the floating anxiety tends to dissipate.

8). Display sensitivity to other people's thoughts and emotions, their environment, and life in general. This includes a vivid awarness of their own 'inner world'. Such children may be considered 'intuitive' or 'psychic'.

9). They may report imaginary friends, seeing and communicating with spirits, angels, ETs etc

10). They have an apparently poor sense of 'time'. They may even have problems understanding the concept, not just being 'on time'! They tend to think in terms of patterns and non-linear relationship (holism) rather than organise themselves according to the concept of the 'forward arrow of time.'

11). They may report past life and even future life recall, or having lived on 'another planet'! More rarely, some experience living a 'secret' or parallel life as some other being, often 'extraterrestrial' or believe they are foreign to this planet. (I tend to refer to those children with extraterrestrial life recall or who experience themselves as 'not from here' as StarChildren or 'Indigo StarChildren. Those who have serious difficulties in this area I believe are suffering from 'Multidimensional Personality Confusion'!)
