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."

I temporarily disable electronic equipment if I am touching it while I'm angry. For example if i am grounded I could walk up and lightly tap the computer monitor only to have it crash. My parents are furious...they don't know why.

Dear Os:

Prove it. Until then, I'm not buying your story.

OS, that's not because you can disable electronic equipment, that's because you're using Windows ME. Maybe it's time to upgrade!

Just for all you people who dont believe in Indigos. I Understand you can say what you like. Fine, but other people believe in indigos I do and people commenting on this site. So you dont know they are not real. research cant prove anything, people can though.

No, research can't prove anything. It didn't prove that the world wasn't flat, that the sun revolved around the earth, and that flies aren't born from rotten meat. The people in those situations were right, of course. The world is flat, the sun revolves around us, and flies pop out of dead meat.

Just because other people believe in indigos doesn't mean that they're real, it just means you're all deluded.

Huh? That isn't a serious comment, is it?

Exacly who do you think conducts research? HINT: it's people.

In the absence of research, all we would have is guessing. Since you reject research, whether or ot you realize it, you're admitting that you're just guessing about "indigos."

Why should we take your guesswork seriously?

I must confess recent years I did wonder about Indigo Children. I'd research and find it all very interesting if it was true. Although the copypasta of the 'traits' did raise my eyebrows a bit.

But one fateful day I discovered the Dallas newspaper article on Indigo Children and the whole "I'm the Avatar!" quote had me rolling around with laughter. (Avatar is a brilliant show BTW)

I do frequent some forums on Paranormal and I can tell you as soon as anyone posts a topic mentioning Indigo children there is a metaphorical dogpile of badly written posts each clamouring that "Liek omgz im a inigo child to and i liek takl with mi angles and cn reed mines".

Yes, I have my own views on the paranormal- that some things a worth a second look at. But Indigo Children? Oh god please stop with this bull.

When I attempt to boil down what you said there, what I get is, "I believe in certain things, including Indigo children, not because there's any evidence that they actually exist, but because I just WANT TO."

There are a great many things in this world that I'd LIKE to believe in, but if the evidence doesn't support their existance, why should I waste my intellect on them?

Look around you there's indigo children amongst us!

Look around you there's indigo children amongst us!!!!

Maybe you'll see one sittin in the rain at some sidewalk cafe;
with half of their wet cigarette in the ashtry..

they just want to find a lost soul to save..

Are you a lost soul tryin to find a road that's paved?

Keep faith in your suitcase, pack your beliefs...

Indigo children exist, I've even seen some sleep!

Cranky Media Guy is right; If you can't measure it, detect the particles that propagate it, mathematically define its behaviour, manipulate it with a device and have observable and repeatable results of its cation, then it does not exist.

Just like love.
Posted by D F Stuckey  on  Wed Feb 25, 2009  at  12:34 AM
Oooh, snarky, D.F.

The difference between love and "indigo" is that the former is an emotion and the latter is claimed to be an observable phenomenon. Funnily enough, scientists have actually seen a change in brain activity when a person thinks about someone they love.

Auras, on the other hand, like fairies, can apparently only be seen by those who believe in them. Please don't bring up Kirlian photography; it's been dealt with already in this thread.
Posted by Cranky Media Guy  on  Wed Feb 25, 2009  at  01:03 AM
Cranky, you can see a chnage in brain activity simply by speaking to someone when they are being monitored - Your 'proof' is absolutely ridiculous and makes even less sense than the Indigo claims.

There is no such thing as love - Emotions are utterly irrational and therefore nonexistent, simply random chemical imbalances in the body.

I doubt the existence of Indigos, but there are simpel exoperiment sto determine their claims . . . Love however cannot be tested and therefore is far and away less likely to exist.
Posted by D F Stuckey  on  Wed Feb 25, 2009  at  03:22 AM
D.F. your arguments are flawed. They were looking for specific changes in the brain. Here's an interesting article about the study:
http://wbztv.com/health/love.head.heart.2.932987.html
Posted by Sakano  on  Wed Feb 25, 2009  at  07:21 AM
A news article description of a scientific study is always a poor way to review the study, but even so . . .

Firstly, the test subjects were those people who were 'in love' or 'recently heartbroken'. In my misspent youth studying biology, the one thing that was important was measuring the state of test subjects; There were vast lists of procedures to determine isf an organism was alive, something most laypeople would describe as 'f&^%*ing obvious'. I note NO repeat NO mention of the criteria that was used to determine the state of these people apart from what they 'felt' or 'believed' about their emotional state ( Does that remind you of someone? Some people of a certain "colour" which is how all this started? 😊 )which is a serious flaw to the study; And it underlines my point that this so-called state of being cannot be measured objectively by instrumentation. Reality is waht can be determined by equipment, not by the subjective opinion of flawed human beings as I know all too well.

The brain loop circuit the study notes is probably just some reflex involved with the activities associated with sexual behaviour, rather than the airy-fairy emotional repsonse you seem so determined to waste your intellect upon.

In conclusion, Cranky, you appear to be falling for a similar delusion as the Indigos - Rather like the old Szardi ( sp?) test for mental illness, where the patient supposedly responded most strongly to a picture of someone with the same symptoms - And to regrettably quote the Bible, you should look to the log in your own eye before trying to remove the splinter form your neighbour's eye.
Posted by D F Stuckey  on  Wed Feb 25, 2009  at  02:57 PM
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.
Posted by Cranky Media Guy  on  Thu Mar 05, 2009  at  05:31 PM
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.
Posted by D F Stuckey  on  Thu Mar 05, 2009  at  05:44 PM
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!

your a retard if u think this shit is real. u know wat i have a proposition, y dont u just videotape urself healing some1 or doing some indigo power crap and have a scientist there. if u r really indigo u should never fail at predictions or healings or watever bc u claim to be having powers but they seem to be vague and pretty inconsistent. if u get everything right i guarantee u will be the rel center of attention throughout the world for pretty much ever. if any of wat the so called "indigo children" say is true the shit would have hit the fan immediately there would be no doubt no conspiracy no critics. just sheer astonishment and amazingly vast quantities of money being put into replicating, studying, understanding and discovering everything about this. or u can just keep pushing that 80% of people now are indigo and yet no1 believes u so nothing will ever change and u can go on throughout ur miserable existence and just keep saying that u broke a vcr 5 times with energy forces while u were just being a dick to see how much u can get away with bc the indigo is supposed to be pretty much the definition of a brat

I know my family is the old-fashioned kind of religious, not eclectic like me. If I even hinted that I was Indigo, that I could easily see auras and sometimes read minds...they would certainly punish me.

those who dont expierence the syncronicities of being an indigo will deem it as crazy phenomenon...cause someone limetid by sense preception will have a harder time seeing things all encompassing...in a visonary mannor...making indigos connected hem. brain activity a blessing that enables them to reach higher states of meditation/more focus...which can also explain theyre natural crreative abbilities with art and music. as for the aura...your aura is electro magnetic energy...the energy of light....most people who are prone to seeing auras also experience telepathy...like they think of someone, then that person randomly calls. or the know what people are thinking..like hidden motives..or even lustful feelings almost instistfully they can read your feelings. precicesly...it is very very presice...but to someone without these extra sensory abilities whoose stuck in a lower realm of ego ceases to aknodledge that this could be possible simply because they do not experience it or see it...What? do you think we are all making this stuff up? to be diffrent? everyone is diffrent thats not the point...its the abilitys/feelings/behaviorial patterns that an indigo child posesses that unifys them with the universe/animals/plants/people ect.we are not trying to be diffrent..we can sense the oneness...the universal truth. weve actully been sensing it since we were children...a lesson many but adults cant even comprehend and put internalize. that sets them out of the crowd..in this day and age people are being forced(by society/gov) into consumerism at such a fast rate that people are becoming sheep.following whatever to be cool or fit in...indigo chindren never really fit in besides with people on a similar or same frequency..others who are as open and nuturing to other life forms that inhabitant our planet..but that does NOT mean that they cannot get along with people of all walks of life.. because of theyre sixth sense and ability to think of life in other beings situations..they can understand and relate without experience!

We also know things more than just our concious mind knows.... things about people like theyre age...or ethnicity and i mean things you couldnt rationally know from reason...its like more of a gut feeling...it suprizes a lot of people...also clarvoiant dreams.....i had a baby bunny and one night i had a dream it died...and two days later it died...things like that that most people dont know..

were not concerned with your praize or lack there of...we are on a mission and a journey and we are here to educate you...and to speed your evolution. you have the free will to listen or to not...we are not trying to convert you..theyre are much more important matters at hand.

Aya, you poor misunderstood, dear, dear, Moron. (that's a medical term, look it up) The whole world around you IS "the problem" "ALL the adults" that were in your life "were the problem". Seems as though everything around you "IS the problem", it couldn't possibly be YOU, could it? Your poor disappointed mother, my heart goes out to her.... You are still looking desparately for something, someone, to blame for YOUR bad judgement and devistating decisions in your life, because it couldn't possibly be your fault. So you have found some silly smoke screen to cast your misfortune upon, as an explaination to your "higher abilities and untame-able passion for life" I'll just call it an unreasonable rebellion that destroys those whom loved them and placed trust in them. That sounds just about right. You are not unusual, special, gifted, or enchanted; you are an asshole! There is NO such creature as an Indigo Child, just a "bad child!" and of course excuses of why they might be perceived as bad. (it has to be bc these special individuals can see the future and move objects w/o touching them, yeah that would explain why they can not get along with others, follow authority, or make a damn thing out of their own life) While you search for excuses, the world will go on, your siblings will surpass your achievements, your parents and grandparents will grow old without you, and at the end of it all, your still an asshole with NO real reason- and alone, poor you again! If you could indeed see the future, you would have been able to avoid your failures, protect your relationships, and built a successful life without excuses! A word of advise if I may, grow up, take responsibility for ALL of your actions, actually get REAL with yourself you special little Indigo, repair your relationships with those that love you and make something of yourself with hard work that you can be proud of. Oh, that will take longer that 2 weeks so build some endurance for hard work! Take it or leave it, I really could care less, much like most of the world around you!

Being a terrible, terrible thirteen-year-old, I ask all you "indigo's" out there: tell me, what is sitting on my desk right now? I'll play fair if you will.

Honestly, I came here with an open mind. Who knows, maybe I too could become a super crystal kid. But then, I read the comments, and all you "indigo kids"... no. Just no. Your points are weak and I'm simply not getting this deep intelligence you're supposed to have from the way you write. The angels have lost another soldier, I'm afraid.

I'm an indigo. You see I can sense when someone is looking straight at me whether they are from far distance or short. For example: I was getting my hair done and started to fall asleep, then I woke up with my mum looking at me. I don't know how I knew I just felt it.

No, sorry, you are utterly wrong. Indigo children write better essays because they sense what mark they will get as they write, and constantly readjust it for the mark they aim for.

If they get poor marks, it is because they are self-destructive personalities 😊

Well now. I can't stand all the negativity here. So many people saying hateful things. I've researched the "Indigo" theory and I'd just like to say, You all need to get over yourselves.

I'm not taking one side or another but really people! You should be doing something other than arguing over something that is so unclear.

IF you feel that you are Indigo, then you should have a little self respect and not go flaunting it about. Let skeptics think what they want. When one asks you for proof, you should have some dignity and if you feel like you don't need to give any, then DON'T!

But also, skeptics who don't believe in Indigo's need to be a little respectful. You don't see Christians hating on Jewish people, or visa- versa. It's like a religion, you can't prove which one is "right". Let people think what they want without being dissed on for it.

It IS ok to have your own opinion, but can't we all just be a bit nicer about it?

OK, Shanini, if you can predict the future and you're always right, you should have no trouble making a specific prediction about something that will happen in the near future, right?

Please note that "specific" means that the prediction has to be about something real and verifiable, not something vague.

All this hype about 'Indigo children' makes me laugh, really! Sure I may have some of the traits associated with so-called 'Indigo children' and those that I lack are ''trouble with authority'' and those that have to do with ''psychic''/''paranormal'' abilities.

For those that believe in such abilities and want to convince others, shall provide evidence. CLEAR EVIDENCE OF THE CLAIMED ABILITIES. ANECDOTES ALONE DO NOT COUNT.

While visiting my family in a differnt city, i started to befriend a very interesting woman. she told me she though i was an indigo- and she considers herself one too. Things happened there that made me beleive indigo/chrystal kids are real, though maybe i was just connecting dots that arent there. Everyone wants to beleive they are special or different from everyone else. i dont know wether to beleive the sceptiks or the beleivers, though honestly being considered "indigo" would explain alot of things. I may sound contradictive or stupid, but im interested in this sort of thing and just want to knowif its real- or if im just falling for an illusin to back myself up spiritually.
