The Characteristics of The Indigo Children and The Indigo Population in General

The term "Indigo" and "Indigo Children" has been circling around the collective consciousness for a while now.
What is this actually about?

How many of us wonder if they are Indigo children…and await an explanation or an external confirmation?
How many of us wondered if our children are Indigo Children? And if so, what exactly should we do with this exciting discovery?  
Let's say it is so. So what does it mean…?

Since the beginning of time, there've been a few who have succeeded in avoiding the collective consciousness, and their creation was made from a "different" state of consciousness.  They've become spiritual people, creators, mystics, people of medicine, break through scientists, unforgettable musicians. At times, it would take years after their passing for them to become understood or acknowledged. Other times, they would be condemned, either by words or by seclusion, or be at an actual, life threatening danger. Some of them were executed. This is the truth. We know it. We know it to the degree in which our bodies and souls remember not to hurry to remember and not to hurry to create and not to hurry to express everything that you know…. Out of the fear that…it may not be perceived in a good way…

The great innovation of the Indigo phenomenon is that it isn't just about a few unique individuals, it's about an almost entire generation!
An entire generation can change the state of the collective consciousness, and when that happens, some of the elders (the ones that are ready for followed development) "are infected with" the new awareness, and so we find "Indigos" at every age! Some were born Indigo and some became Indigo as a result of the change in the collective consciousness and the willingness to be upgraded. This explains the phenomenon of the spiritual festivals and workshops in which people of any age can be found, and it also explains a whole ensemble of patterns and problems that are typical of Indigo that currently exist in people of every age. We are talking about matured people who weren't necessarily involved with spirituality a few decades ago, but the new generation carries with it a new legitimacy that changes all of us. Therefore, it is very possible that as this article progresses you will feel that I'm actually speaking about you.

Something typical of the Indigo consciousness is the concept of a natural world-wide unity that is beyond distinctions of status.
Humanity has been spilling blood for thousands of years, and has been suppressing groups on the basis of the belief that "these" are better, purer, more just, more godly than "those": different races, different religions, different religious trends, different cultures, men versus women, people who have sexual preferences or tendencies, and more.
Part of the blessed Indigo consciousness takes for granted that all religions have one God. That every individuality is blessed by the universe, especially if it is nonviolent.
This by itself is amazing! That such a simple truth was hidden from humanity as a whole for so long. But it is possible that, thanks to the Indigo current, which is rinsing us all, we will, one day, glance with astonishment at the time when groups could murder each other on the basis of different beliefs and different ways of life.

It is said about the Indigo children that they are "especially sensitive", that they are "healers", that they are "spiritual", that they have "a purpose and message", and "a commitment for world rectification". It is said that they posses something else, different…

What does being especially sensitive mean, in the society of our time? What does it mean to be spiritual? What does being a healer mean? What does it mean to be different? What kind of life does it bring about?

Would you really be willing to take upon yourself the correction of the world?
It could be a heavy load…
There are children who are very concerned with the state of the world.
Are you prepared for the awareness in which you will remember where you came from, and the taste of the metaphysical worlds, the actual potential that exists in life, versus what exists now…How then will you view humanity, your personal life, will it make you experience wholeness or maybe feel an astonished disappointment… make you shocked, estranged, experience misunderstanding… of the fact that the world is different than what it could be… of the fact that people don't live through their own truth. And maybe it will make you feel a sense of longing.

Would you have really chosen to be more sensitive than what you are now?
High sensitivity is undoubtedly the key to the touch of magic, with the wonders of life. Through high sensitivity it is possible to dive into the endless beauty of the nature world. Maybe even hear the music of a bud when it opens up and becomes a flower. It is possible to hear the music of the body, its words and stories. It’s possible to feel, from the inside, the great legacy which ancient cultures left here. With high sensitivity, it is possible to get excited by the mountain's silence, it's possible to really converse with fairies, angels and more, more depths of life. Sensitivity is the first instrument for a live and meaningful experience of every moment. This is the basis for awakening. For life.

On the other hand, a little girl with very high sensitivity, who will see her classmates humiliating a weak child, could have her heart torn apart. She owns a sensitivity of the heart, which is sometimes named compassion.
With high sensitivity, you may walk into the supermarket and suddenly be filled with the anger of the cashier: a Russian academic who was forced by the circumstances  to become a cashier. You might not realize that the anger you were filled with was "hers"' and not "yours".
You may stand in line at the post office or the bank and be filled with the anxiety of an unemployed man, who is standing in line in front of you.
You may not know you got it from him.
In this country you don't need to go to the supermarket or the post office to experience pain, anger, frustration…. They surround us. During the days of the war, I didn't need to turn on the TV to be torn apart by the cries of the bereaved parents. It was sounded in the "air". All of these are examples of the everyday experiences of very sensitive people.

So would you choose to be more sensitive? With all the positives and negatives of sensitivity?
Usually it isn't a conscious decision. What happens is that a sensitive adult or child either gives up as much as possible of his/her sensitivity or begins to distance himself/herself when reality starts being unbearable. They either avoid going to the supermarket and post office, and avoid being too close to people, or move to spiritual communities.
In order to survive, they start forming a defensive armor.

If we are especially sensitive people, and we've gone through such a process, we will consider a state of openness as a state of vulnerability.
A central element of working with the Indigo, at any age, is to teach them,  how to continue to preserve and deepen their sensitivity without it becoming vulnerability. Namely, to be open: to the world, to people, to life and at the same time, to stay safe and strong.

The Indigo children say over and over that "all of us can":
That all of us can come in contact with the entire truth of life and with the meaning of our personal life, that all of us can create our life's course, that we can know what is the real meaning of our choices and where it is leading, that all of us can know what's within the depth of our soul and the souls of others, that all of us can talk to God. In fact, the Indigo Children don't really understand that there is something special about their natural abilities, and the wonder of their uniqueness only makes them feel estranged and misunderstood.

Now the question is: that same spiritual ability of the Indigo Children, is it also necessarily an ability at the personal, emotional and practical levels, and a sufficient instrument for self-fulfillment?
I have many friends who have their spiritual fields open: They meditate, pray, some of them remember other life times, they understand holy scripts… they are undoubtedly spiritual. Do spiritual people automatically get to self-fulfillment, to realizing and utilizing the internal knowledge in their professional world? Do they necessarily develop satisfactory careers? Do they necessarily live in an economic ease? Do they necessarily have harmonious families?
Do they necessarily practically (and not just through meditation) lead society forward?

It is made clear that "spiritual ability" isn't automatically translated to actual self-fulfillment, which creates a life of satisfaction, meaningfulness, ease and so on. It even sometimes seems that the "spirituals" are less realizing of themselves than the "non-spirituals". As if the spiritual inclination itself brings forth obstacles…

If this isn't enough, another difficult problem is that some of the Indigo children have a tendency to bear diseases "for others". Real diseases: mental and physical. It is a kind of over-volunteering to share and save, which results from a sense of a huge responsibility for the well-being of the family, community and humanity as a whole.

This is not a pessimistic article! I unambiguously view the Indigo Children as a great blessing to people surrounding them and as hope for humanity. What should be done in order to bring about the realization of this wonderful potential?
