Remember when indigo was in?

[FlippyDoo]

So I was taking a spin around the last 10 or so years in the VRWC Time Machine Mark X. I no longer have clearance to use the Mark XV after that incident when I went back in time and made that woman think she was a male cat. Anyway, I was cruising the chronoverse in the Mark X when I crashed directly into an indigo kids discussion.

The first post is pretty long, but it is entertaining. I guess I could include some silly and stupid BS, but I'm kind of busy. Plus when it comes to silly and stupid BS the DUmmies beat me to it on this subject.

There are some links in the posts. I don't know if they're still active, but I'm not brave enough to click them.

By the way, LWolf is apparently a teacher.

Indigo the Movie
I went to see it last night at a local church, and thought I would share my experience.

Part of the experience had nothing to do with the movie; I had personal issues to walk through. It was being shown at a local Church of Religious Science. I've read their mission statement/philosophy; it harmonizes well with my own. I've heard their pastor speak at local interfaith services. I'm comfortable with him, as well.

But showing up at the church turned out to be an ordeal. I left home, found the place easily, and when I saw the building, and the parking lot, and everyone going in, I froze up. I had to drive all the way around the block, sit and breathe, and ask my guardians to "hold my hand," so to speak. The very parking lot of the church set off all my alarms, triggering all of the negative "church" experiences I've had. The inside of the building did the same. There was no cross, no altar; but the shape of the building and the pews generated that same response. I sat in the back row near the door, and spoke to no one. I saw my homeopath sitting several aisles up; while she has never labeled her faith, it didn't surprise me to see her there. I also saw a fellow teacher; I don't know her that well, I only taught in the same building for 6 months, and I think she retired last year. She was sitting a few rows ahead of me. I didn't make contact with anyone. While I was waiting for the film to start, I looked through the brochure they gave me, and held on to my guides' "hands." I reminded myself that the name of this church is "Center of Light," and that all I know about them says that they live up to their name; that if I was going to end up in a church for any reason, this was a good choice.

The pastor gave a few opening remarks about the brochure, "The Spiritual Cinema Circle." He asked the crowd who had seen "What the Bleep," and about half raised their hands! Since I know it didn't play locally, I assumed that they carpooled "down below" to LA to see it. He gave an invocation, and the film began.

It opened with an interview with Twyman and two other men (director and another) discussing the status and future of spiritual cinema, other projects coming up, and what they hoped people would get out of the film. Interestingly, the director said that "Indigo" was the next step after "What the Bleep," and that there was another coming up from Twyman, "In To Me See," which would be the step after "Indigo."

While I was interested in this discussion, it dragged a little for me. Perhaps because it was Sunday night, before a Monday morning work day, my dogs were out in the cold at home, I tend not to go out "late" nights before work days, and I was in the "church." I was a little tense.

Once the movie started, I was just fine. 

It follows the (fictional) story of a dysfunctional family, with an Indigo child leading them to healing. As a story it was good; seeing the grandfather's fall from worldly grace, and watching him grow through the film was important.

It left me with questions about the term "Indigo." The two indigos portrayed in the film are versions of the "psychic children" Twyman has reported about for several years. I was following those reports at the same time I was learning about "indigos" from other sources; Twyman eventually linked the two. I was left wanting to clarify my understandings. As I understand it, indigos are not necessarily "psychic." But some are. I want to go back and dig out the books I read a couple of years ago, to do some clarification.

I connected really strongly with one concept presented by the indigo girl; that of an "energy web." I've seen everything, including energy, as a web my whole life; I've been compelled to look for the patterns in everything, find the connections, and operate on that web. I've felt like everything I do is part of the weaving of that web, and the making of connections. The indigo girl referred to that web of energy as a "talking web," similar to the internet, but entirely psychic, that indigos log into just as we log on to our 'puters to talk to each other. She hinted that "everything we need to know" is there.

They took a refreshment/fellowship break after the movie, before showing the post-movie interview with Doreen Virtue. I didn't stay for that part; I wasn't quite up to cookies, punch, and fellowship, and Monday morning was looming on the horizon. I hope it will be on the DVD.

About the "Spiritual Cinema Circle":

Consider it sort of like a spiritual dvd "club." You subscribe, and they send you some dvds every month. Most of which aren't available in the mainstream. I'm intrigued by the concept, but am not sure about the $22 per month for the dvds at this point. I don't really need 3-5 per month; one would probably do! Of course, some of them are "shorts," not full-length films.

The suggestion in the pre-interview was to use them to form small "spiritual" groups that would meet to see them, discuss, etc..

The pastor of the Center of Light asked people to fill out a card offering feedback on whether they would like to see the church host a larger spiritual cinema circle.

Both are ideas to ponder. Here's a link to the spiritual cinema site:

Are you an Indigo Adult?
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 09:14 PM by smirkymonkey
Notice, you must have almost all or all 25 of these symptoms to be considered an indigo adult.

http://www.metagifted.org/topics/metagifted/indigo/adul...

Indigo Adult Characteristics

Are intelligent, though may not have had top grades.

Are very creative and enjoy making things.

Always need to know WHY, especially why they are being asked to do something.

Had disgust and perhaps loathing for much of the required and repetitious work in school.

Were rebellious in school in that they refused to do homework and rejected authority of teachers, OR seriously wanted to rebel, but didn't DARE, usually due to parental pressure.

May have experienced early existential depression and feelings of helplessness. These may have ranged from sadness to utter despair. Suicidal feelings while still in high school or younger are not uncommon in the Indigo Adult.

Have difficulty in service-oriented jobs. Indigos resist authority and caste system of employment. (more....)

Young artist Akiane Kramarik. She has to be an Indigo.
This forum was the first place I ever heard about Indigo and Crystal children. I was intrigued enough to do more research, although I remain skeptical. After all, none of the children I personally know seem especially gifted. But I had Good Morning America on briefly this morning and they had an eleven year old girl on who paints these amazing pictures. It was a very short segment, but what caught my eye was the subject matter of her paintings which were set up behind her.

The ones that really caught my eye are the first ones in each row at Age 11, Age 10, and Age 9. http://www.artakiane.com/akiane_art.htm#

There is nothing on her website (http://www.artakiane.com )about this Indigo business, except for one mention that she will appear in an indigo child documentary. Akiane credits everything to God, mentioning in her bio that she was raised atheist until her visions and painting which began at the age of 4 brought the whole family to God. I don't think it's the god of the fundies, though. She speaks constantly of God's love and that she is here to help people.


I am intrigued. If there really are a lot of these children out there, I can't wait until they are old enough to start exerting a much more powerful influence on our world. Bring it on!

It is that on this occasion we wish to speak to you of the children. It is that for many years of your earth time, your children have been arriving with the gifts as it was in the Beginning. These children inherently carry that which is the crystalline energies.

This combination of light energies is perfection Universal. These children are able to function as pure energy within their consciousness. These little Beings are coming with the abilities to see past the illusions. The abilities to travel within their consciousnesses throughout the dimensional realms. They are able to see past the illusions that are created within your third dimensional realities.

It is that these children are coming forth into this world as it is written that they must at this time. It is that they carry to you Rememberings of that which is, that which is truth, that which is the essence of Being in the reality of the One. It is that these beings who come to you in this way are emissaries o the Ancient Ways. They bring to you a reality that to you seems to be one which is new. It is that this reality is of the Beginning. It is that these children carry the vibration that brings into harmony your world and the One. http://www.greatdreams.com/indigo.htm

The Indigos have been very, very quiet. I thought they had committed suicide, or were sucked up into a spaceship to Xenu, or something.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Never heard of it, but "Indigo" sounds a lot like a BS term for a Meyers-Briggs INTP personality with serious social adjustment problems and some goofball ESP beliefs.

From what I read in the OP, they sound like the Scientology wing of DU.

The word of the day is, "woo".

Don't be hatin', man.

[dutch508]

What the **** was that shit?

[miskie]

I'm pretty sure the 'Indigo Children' are still in. However, since 'Indigo' became synonymous with 'gifted', they dropped the term like a hot potato. Now they refer to most of the children formerly known as 'indigo' as having Asperger Syndrome, thus making it a Bona fide disability instead of a gift - so the kids now qualify for free rides on the gravy train.

Which is insulting to those who are genuine Asperger and Autism patients - but that matters not to a DUmbass - whatever it takes to get that Gub'mint cheese.

[BlueStateSaint]

whatever it takes to get that Gub'mint cheese.

Miskie nails it.  After all is said and done, if they can get money from the gub'mint without doing actual work for it, they've hit the jackpot.

H5 given, BTW.

[JohnnyReb]

I am an adult indigo psychic....I see more DUmmie stupidity in the future....where do I go to get a government grant to study myself? A few million should do the trick.

I couldn't make it past the first paragraph.  What a sensitive *****.

No thank you.

It's a little known fact that fictional spirit-guides and fictional spirit-guardians exist on different levels on the fictional spirit plane. Fictional spirit-guides are higher up on the ladder than fictional spirit-guardians. Due to their lower level the fictional spirit-guardians have to do things like hold DUmmie hands. Naturally, that means the guardians have to go through a very strict fumigation process after every shift in order to neutralize any contaminants that were picked up from the DUmmie.

I often feel sorry for the fictional spirit-guardians.

Can the fictional spirit-guardians ever get a promotion to fictional spirit-guides?

Can the fictional spirit-guardians ever get a promotion to fictional spirit-guides?

Very good question.

It is possible for a fictional spirit-guardian to advance to fictional spirit-guide, but it is both difficult and rare.

You’ve got to understand that the guardians essentially deal on just a physical level while the guides deal on a metaphysical level.

Let’s look at LWolf’s initial post concerning the indigo movie. She freaks out when she sees the “church” building. All the fictional spirit-guardian can do is just what she mentioned: hold her hand. The fictional spirit-guide, on the other hand, would approach things from a non-physical angle based on an analysis of the situation and past experience with the DUmmie mindset.

With this particular incident, if I had been assigned the case, I would probably analyze the situation this way…

The DUmmie (<-an important point to note) freaks out when she sees a building that looks like a church. I would conclude that she is scared that the building could be a real church. If it is a real church she may encounter good, decent, and normal individuals. An encounter with good, decent, and normal individuals (especially without proper preparation by her Democrat handlers) could, at least in her mind, adversely affect her Dem programming. She is terrified that such adversity could cause her to be exiled from the Dem plantation of group-think.

I would mentally assure her that just because it looks like a church doesn’t mean that it is a real church, and that even it turned out to be a real church she wouldn’t get kicked from the Dem plantation unless she herself began acting good, decent, and normal.

Then, if I were in a pissy mood, I'd tell her, "but cabbage you've got to watch out for because it'll get you."



I think that's the first time since I started this BS that I've figured a way to work 'metaphysical' into a conversation.

Generally that's a good thing. This guy? Not so much.

Unfortunately for the DUmmies they are really all the same. Some are just masters of disguise.
