Dear Merlin,
I want to answer you in the most diplomatic way possible here, because I think I understand why you ask the question. My daughter, who works with families and children, does not believe any of this "indigo" nonsense. She says they're all just mouthy undisciplined brats.
OK. That's one view.
Google indigo children or starseeds. There are websites where you can answer a questionnaire that lists indigo or starseed traits. By that, you can determine whether you fit into the group. Or, by the questions you will see the kinds of characteristics that these people generally have.
Many of us are part of that group without ever realizing we are because nobody ever paid attention to us as children. We had invisible friends and were told they weren't real. We saw things and were invalidated about that; we were told that we didn't see them. We heard things but were told we didn't hear them. We had conversations with animals and were told it was just our imagination. In that context you never learn how to ask the right questions, because nobody will help you find the answers. Nobody believes you.
When you wake up floating on the ceiling and try to tell somebody about that and everyone around you doesn't believe you, you never learn that you just had an out of body experience, and it's a completely natural thing. You become shy and afraid to speak of experience. It's just like people who have experienced ET abductions. Nobody believed them for a long time.
Our culture has done a good job of squelching all those traits or experiences that tell us that we are more than physical beings. Our very rational left-brained culture has long denied the non-physical parts of our Self.
These indigos are coming along, too many of them having these kinds of experiences to ignore. Schools don't know what to do with them, parents don't know what to do with them. Look at the list of traits. Many of them are psychic. Many remember previous lives. And very many of them are being invalidated by the people they need support from. Many of them commit suicide.
It's like this ... if you say you have a green thumb because you KNOW you can grow plants well and everyone tells you you're just making that up, how do you feel about that?
Some people have green thumbs, they really do, they're really terrific with plants. Some truly have artistic talent but can't keep a plant alive, not even a cactus. Some have a god-given natural engineering ability but no artistic talent or interest in plants. Some are just naturally good at math but can't ... you get the idea.
Everyone has a talent, an inborn, god-given, it-came-in-with-you-and-nobody-knows-why, natural skill or ability that makes them special, whether they know it or not. You've got something too. It would never occur to me to contradict you about that or accuse you of just trying to feel special by saying you can do something in particular. If you say you are a good carpenter, then you probably are.
All this indigo stuff is no different. These kids have specific abilities or sensitivities, like the old "6th sense" or ESP. But the point is, a LOT of them do, and for many, this is not being squelched the way it used to be. Many of these children are being validated, therefore their skills will have a chance to blossom. The ones that are denied, or invalidated, are very unhappy people, and as I said, many will commit suicide.
I hope this helps.
