Indigo Children See The Future
Status: New Age Mumbo Jumbo
Indigo Children is a new-age term for children whose aura is indigo colored. These are the kids whom medical science would diagnose as being hyperactive or having ADD (and many lay people might diagnose as spoiled brats). But according to the indigo-child theory, these are actually children with very special powers. Nancy Ann Tappe, the psychic who first described the concept, says that Indigo Children are "souls with an evolved consciousness who have come here to help change the vibrations of our lives and create one land, one globe and one species. They are our bridge to the future." The Skeptic's Dictionary has some good info on the subject.According to an article from the Orange-County Register, one of the powers being attributed to Indigo Children is the ability to see the future. Take this example:
When Carolyn Kaufman was getting her daughter, Ariel Carreno, ready to go, Ariel had an unusual request.
"Mom, we need to take an orange," Ariel said.
"Why?" Carolyn asked. Carolyn explained that this was a pizza party, and that an orange would probably be out of place.But when Ariel insisted, Carolyn grabbed an orange and took it to the party... So Ariel carried her orange into Chuck E. Cheese. The party went just as planned. The kids ate pizza. The kids played games. The parents endured the noise. Then, the birthday girl asked for the strangest thing. An orange.
Wow! The kid brought an orange to a party. Try to explain that, skeptics! Carolyn Kaufman also offers an example about her sony Tomy:
After fights with his sister over what to watch on TV, Tomy has broken five VCRs in the family home using only his energy force, Kaufman said. In some families, kids might get grounded for breaking expensive electronics. Not in Kaufman's house.
I'm sensing it would be great to be a kid in the Kaufman house. You could get away with anything. "It wasn't my fault, Mom. It was my energy force."

to be fair, D.F., I didn't bring up love in the first place, you did.
Secondly, love is an emotion and is therefore subjectively experienced, unlike the alleged aura around Indigos, which would be a physical entity, and therefore should be detectable and measurable.
It occurs to me that this could be tested in a double-blind experiment. This might have to be tweaked, but I'm thinking that a child claimed to be Indigo and therefore in possession of an indigo-colored aura could be put in a room with "non-Indigo" kids. Then, one at a time, people who claim to be able to observe these auras would be brought in (probably on the other side of a one-sided mirror) to watch the kids. Neither the "Indigo detector" nor the experimenter would know any of the kids or which kid was allegedly Indigo, to make it a true double-blind.
After a period of observation, the person would say which kid they thought was the Indigo. The experiment would be repeated as many times as practical. My guess is that the results would be no better than (or at least not statistically better than) chance.

I think that the concept of the Indigo Children will never make sense to some people. However, when the skeptics say that "this is ridiculous" it feels like they're directing it towards me. It's okay if you don't like us; but it would be nice if you could accept us.

I think you're completely misunderstanding the situation here, Lux. I can only really speak for myself, but my guess is that this applies to the others who are skeptical about "Indigos" as well.
"Accepting us" seems to mean that you think people should take your claims of having an indigo aura and all that supposedly accompanies one at face value.
Imagine for a moment that you knew a person who claimed to have X-ray vision. Would you take that claim at face value, if there was no proof whatsoever that they actually did have it? If so, why?
"Indigos" make the claim that they have an aura, which is unproven in itself. On top of that, they claim that THEIR aura is a different color from those of other people and that that difference makes them special. Why should someone accept those claims? What proof of them exists?
Again, speaking strictly for myself, I don't dislike you. I don't know you. I just see no reason to believe the claims you and others make about Indigo-related stuff.

Which is of course the difference between Cranky and all his deluded ilk and myself; I dislike anyone who disagrees with my thesis about love in th same way that a mathematician dislikes anyone who believes Pi equals 3 exactly and for the same reasons, and will campaign long and with all my effort to convince others of the truth of my stance ( Though I will convince anyone not emotioanlly or fincncially attache dto the concept without effort . . . it take sno energy to prove the indisputable).
One day, the truth *will* be known . . . and once all those who disagree either are reeducted or reused biologically, in a short 40 years EVERY problem in the world will be solved. Every single problem.
Unless soemone can prove me worng of course. Granted, like an African-American US president who lives for more than a year after his inaguration, it may one day happen.

Anyone can call themselves something without giving proof. All of you get off you super massive ego superiority complex train rides and wake the hell up. We all want to be 'special'.
Anyone with evidence is free to prove me otherwise.
And no, I'm not just a 'ignorant, narrow-minded skeptic'. I thought enough of myself a few years ago as being completely different from everyone else and I went with this Indigo Theory for quite a while. I feel sorry for all of you who are still clinging to this hopeless ideal, it was a horrible revelation to me, realizing that having enough faith in something can make you jump to irrational conclusions about your own self, connecting dots that just aren't there, etc.
Every person who I've told about this Indigo Theory told me that they think they might be one. That's impossible, because as you say they are few and special. It's a human ideal to strive to be different but there's other ways of doing it-if you just harness the innate individual traits that you all have to reach such a potential.
I'm just saying, consider 'believers', that maybe
you are very lost and confused like I was, and are searching for an answer that isn't there.
So the debate rolls on...

And as and added plus, I've also read that 'around 80% of children being born to day are Indigos'. You've just been proved wrong in a single statement! Know why, kids? If most of our children are supposed Indigos, then the entire concept is utterly WORTHLESS. Has anyone woken up yet?

hi ya
my names johdi, im a 21 year old young woman and have always felt like i dont fit in. 2 years ago i started to suffer with servere depression. soon after this started i started to see hear and sense things others couldnt. i know all u skeptics are gonna be like yeah whatever! because thats how i used to be.
soon after these episodes i joined a church and talked about my experiances. i was told by more than one person on more than one occassion that i was an indigo child. so i researched this. i had many of the qualities that a typial indigo child would have.
i also have always been highly sensitive to my surroundings and the way others around me are feeling.
i just want to put a theory to all these skeptics! okay you say we have no proof what so ever that we are indigo children.
let me ask you! what proof do you have that we are not indigo children?????
you believe in god but u cant see him, so just look at it this way u cant see who indigo children are but this doesnt mean they are not real!
