Everywhere I go concerning Indigo Children, people are so definite that up to 90% to 99% of kids being born since the 90's are Indigos, and maybe that is one reason I'm concerned about who is really sreading information here. I don't mean to sound pompous or patronizing, but all I have to do is look around those my age in my high school to know that there is no way those definitions are even close to correct. Now, I can't say that that is so for the children that are being born today- its possible that a higher percentage of them are Indigos, but I simply can't accept the bloated estimates that so many children are Indigos. Perhaps I'm being overly dramatic or oversensitive, but since I came in contact with today's school system, I've been treated quite literally as if I were an alien by all my peers- completly shunned and isolated, as if I was marked with a big neon sign saying "IGNORE ME!". Although I know that this varies between higher-vibrational people, Indigos are generally empathic, open-minded, undertstanding souls, yet if my age-group is so chock-full of them, why was any notion of spirituality or non-conformity immeadiatly ridiculed? I guess that just worries me, becauase even though I have some of the deepest, most central beliefs and thoughts that most Indigos (and Crystals) are said to have, I've never been extremly rebellious- not in an agressive way. I never got in trouble with teachers for being rude- I just go in trouble for refusing to act like everyone else. If one of the major traits of getting the message across to lower-vibrational teachers and other 'authority figures' is acting the class-clown and getting kicked out of class, then I'm not so sure bout my own Indigo authenticity. The spiritual and emotional inclinations I share, and as well as the inner rebellion, but I was never diagnosed with ADD or ADHD nor was I ever overly-disruptive in classroom settings. I always fought quiter, inward battles by refusing to conform to typical beliefs and interests. As I said, maybe I;m reading too much into this, but all these things truly make me concerned, and I would seriously appreciate someone to help me clarify these things. I've known, or at least believed, that I was an Indigo since I was 13, yet so many of the 'negative' traits did not apply to me, and I never could seem to see how anybody could think that 90% of teens my age could be Indigos. Please help me think through this!
Love and light,
Nimue

nimue!!!! we were wondering about you!!
as for your thought... ~sigh~ yeah, it seems Indigos are sooo being hyped into something they're not. being born so much at such-and-such time, having such-and-such eyes, having such-and-such psychic abilities...there are already SO many misconceptions about Indigos. none of that stuff is really accurate. many of the Indigos are born within the time frame; but to say 90%...no way. I work at an arcade; ...I see the crap some of the kids put the other kids through...especially the daycare kids. now I have met quite a few bright children that at least seem more Indigo than those others...but 90%? no! that's the hype.
as for the not being extremely rebellious...you were rebellious in your own way. no, most Indigos I know aren't outright rebellious...although a few of them are. Many of them just question...and question...and question...and the teachers/parents get fed up.
anyway...you're Indigo at the core. that's what counts. everyone's different anyway...the lists of what you're supposed to be to fit into the group don't matter. if your heart is in it, that's what matters--and yours definately is.

Nimue,
I also never got in trouble for being rude or acting out in class. The only thing I got in trouble for in class was just not doing the homework I saw no point in. I was also ignored by my peers, but then again I didn't actively seek them out. I was more of a rebel by example, or by writing, rather then what I said. I always seemed to, and still do ask questions my teachers or professors could not answer or didn't have an answer for. I also started to reject a lot of what is "normal" for people my age when I was just a seventh grader. I seemed to mature both physically and psychologically much faster then many of my peers. That is probably another reason why I did not actively seek many of them.
Yes, I agree a lot of what's out there on Indigo's is hype. There are obviously more Indigo's and Crytals being born, but I don't think it's 90%.

I got stuck with one of those big neon signs too Nimue. I know people who think they are indigo just because the hype focuses mostly on our generation. It's like they want to be special and think that they will develop amazing talents and such. It's like they are trying to force themselves to be indigo, that's not going to work though. The statistics are definitely wrong in my opinion. If they are right, tell me where all these indigos and crystals are hiding! I don't know about you, but I sometimes can just tell if a person is indigo or crystal or not. Like my niece, just looking at her I can tell she is a crystal child. I haven't met many people that I feel are though. Y'all are right, there is way too much hype and misconceptions.

Another thing is that people are really Indigo's don't loose interest in being Indigo. The people who are just saying they are Indigo because it's cool or hyped will stop being interested in Indigo's when it stops being hyped or cool. True Indigo's will keep coming back to the concept and will still display the core traits of an Indigo long after the hype is gone.

I know people who think they are indigo just because the hype focuses mostly on our generation. It's like they want to be special and think that they will develop amazing talents and such. ...or their parents...like on the Good Morning America deal. it was obvious to me that the mother wanted her children to be special, because it would make HER special...it was for her own personal benefit. the children may very well be indigo...but that's not at all what that show was about, it was about the mother getting publicity because her children were psychic...as if being indigo means that you're psychic anyways...they often go hand in hand, but not always. UGH! That show REALLY got under my skin. ...anyway...like I said, I work in an environment where I'm in constant contact with kids. There's this one family that's been coming in...a new family, the daughter is under 2 years old, I know that much...and I'm just drawn to that little girl...and she does have amazing eyes...and she can't keep her eyes off me either, lol. I think she has to be higher-vibrational. other than that...none of the kids I work with have had that sorta connection with me...maybe a lot of them are higher-vibrational and I just don't know it...but when I look at the groups of kids that bicker and fight and steal from each other...I can't say that statistic is accurate.

Hmmm.. The only thing I'm thinking when I see this.. Put up or shut up Find or contact whoever is putting out these wrong numbers, get your own story to the media as a group of people, and just make them see whats true. A minute sooner, better than a minute later.

Shealyn,
Would you mind posting a link if possible to the Good Morning America thing?
Rad,
Maybe we should collectively (As Higher Vibrations) write something about this and send it to various media to try and clear up the misconceptions?
What does everyone else think?

Well. It's a nice idea. We could start a new thread, where all of us could contribute one post summarising our thoughts if we want, collect them and mail them off. I would be very happy to do it, as long as my words aren't twisted (You can see typical media has made me cynical)

Eventually, the moment will present itself, and they will come to us in our everyday lives.

A lot of people in my class are indigo's, some have forgotten it, and others aren't aware yet (maybe) But It was after I moved to a different school, and the one subject we are studying is horticulture or gardening.

*Laughs* Then where in the worlds are all these false statistics coming from. I agree entirly. Obviously, people are speaking for us who have no right to. Its actually ironic, really, because all the sites centered on higher-vibrational children and the like preach the fact the we should be listened to, yet they are distributing information not one of us here seems to be verifying! I wish whole-heartedly that I could write some sort of e-mail to various sites about this, but my parents do not wish me to have an e-mail account unless they are allowed to read whatever I write and recieve, which is something I cannot do because they are not entirely supportive of my beliefs. However, I would suggest that those who CAN write, send letters, or articles, or arguments to various trusted distributors or resources of higher-vribrational information (CNE magazine, for example) and perhaps write an article and request that they publish it. I know maybe I'm taking this a little too far, but this situation annoys me and I want to get it stamped out. If this worry is a problem for me, it is possible it could dissuade other Indigos and Crystals from realizing what they are and what they came to accomplish. Thank you all for sharing with me. Love and light, Nimue

Honestly, this is how I see it:
All through the history of the world, there have been people who are more spiritually evolved than others, indigos are nothing new on the planet. If there are more of them now, it's because there is a lot of bad stuff happening in this planet and so more advanced souls are coming down to learn more extreme lessons and try to make a difference since the conditions are just right. I think the whole "indigo" explosion is nothing more unusual than the "witch hunt" crisis in the past - it seems to me like it's nothing but a bunch of hyped up mothers convinced their children are special (because let's face it, ALL mothers want to believe they have special children), a bunch of lonely teenage kids who want to feel cool and better than everyone else, and at the top we have a lot of people trying to make money. I think the good thing coming out of the indigo craze is that there is more attention being paid to spiritual matters - I think though that if indigos become too overblown, it'll make spirituality look like a joke just like a lot of other things that get blown out of proportion. Honestly, I have met maybe five or six people who have convinced me without a doubt that they are indigo, and all of them live in other countries (with no idea of what the term "indigo" even means) or are on this board, and so far only maybe two or three people who are fulfledged crystal and not in a state of transition.
So yes, I think if there are more indigos being born today it's maybe only slightly more, like 10-15%, simply because from where I'm at right now, I'm definitely not meeting any around me, and I definitely haven't met any crystals in person other than myself.
Also, what someone said about fake "indigos" losing interest in being indigo once it goes out of style I agree with, but I also know that these days I don't even like talking about indigo or crystal children because in the end it's really a pointless topic. The only purpose I see in it is helping higher vibrational people identify with themselves and find a reason why they are so different, and then start their individual spiritual journies from there. I'm not saying it's wrong to discuss it, I mean this is a forum after all and with a lot of interesting topics, but I just feel like too many people base too much on what vibration they're on rather than just focusing on themselves, stripping away all form of rank and catagorization and letting there be no limits to what a person is, because in the end we all experience things differently.

CM,
I was the one who talked about fake "indigos". What I was trying to focus on was that true "indigos" will still display the core traits of an Indigo long after the hype is gone whether they classify themselves as "Indigos" or not.
I also was thinking about what you in the end of your last paragraph when I wrote that reply. As I've said before labeling is a double edged sword. It helps one identify, yet also limits. As one grows, seem to stop worrying about which label is right or labels in general. They just don't seem to care anymore what label goes with what because in the end it doesn't matter.

Well, I can certainly understand the frustration expressed here but as someone who has only just found all of you and who is so grateful to have done so may I just say that "hype" whether ill used or not is in fact a means of increasing visibility. Think of all the people who will hear the word Indigo and look it up and how many of those who have felt alone and misunderstood and didn't know what was wrong with them will be in the mix. Yes, there will be many who spread false truths and there will be much said about us that is misconstrued or simply made up but those out there who are like us. .. they will know the truth. As the crystalmaiden said we are nothing new and neither is the process . . . .but there is always a reason for every step taken in this dance of ours and the hype and all of this that frustrates you are part of the dance. In time, people will begin to listen to us and when we see how things play out perhaps we will look back and understand this time better.

about the percentage of indigos. .. .I think that sadly there are many who, being such senstive beings are destroyed and trampled on in their early years and errect barriers and protective layers to keep from ever being hurt again. They choose to deny what they are because they see no other way. It may take them years and years to step out from that and recognize and remember their true identities.
