These Labels...

[VikingWarriorOnWheels]

I'm having a hard time with these terms: Indigo, Crystal, Rainbow...
After recently becoming intrigued by the notion of naturally gifted individuals being born with an extraordinary role in this life... Can't this be true of anyone? What if, for example, an Indigo is born into a conservative, Christian family that expected academic success, following rules, doing what you're told, etc. and these natural abilities are stifled and deterred before the child can even develop nonconforming thoughts or intuitive abilities? What if they don't discover spirituality until later in life? Does this make them any less of an Indigo than a child who's family raised them in a spiritually supportive environment?

People don't need labels to live according to deeper values or to bring something of value to the world by simply being themselves as they respond to experience.

Hi,

Yes at the core of every human is the divine presence. Labels do help some and restrict others. It depends a lot on personal inclinations.

Humanity in general is becoming more aware of their psychic potentials. There is a process of self discovery available to any one who wishes to evolve it. Any divine human can shift their reality perspective at any time, as I see these things.

They're dumb terms, I know... I used to be bothered every time I saw I'm an (Indigo, Starseed, Rainbow)!, but I have come to realize it is mostly young people (teens and young adults) who identify with these words over and over again. That is just how youth is. They use labels as a method of learning. That's why high school is so cliquey. You have preps, goths, nerds, stoners, etc. They're just words, and most people outgrow them when they come to realize that.

Overall, these words may cause separation, but they also promote individuality. I have also come to realize that there is no single word that can possibly describe any individual. There are always many words.

This is exactly is what I have been trying to explain to people but they just don't get it..

In the world of conformist perfectionism the one who stands out isn't welcome. Most people don't even notice those who stand out, but they DO notice those who care about standing out... so stop caring. If you don't like being called indigo (or whatever) person, that's fine, just call yourself the second of part of that designation, call yourself a PERSON.

Guess what? I'm an indigo... term coined to me by closed minded individuals as a desperate attempt fit me in and to compartmentalize and structure a decaying decadent society.

Guess also what? I don't care, moving on!:confused1:




Let me tell you something else, You were always an indigo, the only thing that has changed is whatever you are personally actually has a name. Ask yourself... what is that, that is really different about me? What has changed? Did I suddenly stop caring? Did I become an axe murderer in defiance of the designation I discovered about myself?

First, let me say that I don't buy it. I do think that some people come here with a greater purpose than simply living the human experience. Does this make them any of those things? I think no.

Second, a being such as this, one whom we might be tempted to label as one of these things, or who might label themselves such, would not incarnate to a conservative family as you described. You are forgetting that we have a choice in the matter. Further, such an individual would not need to be exposed to spirituality, they would be the ones doing the exposing. Such people don't need to be taught, possibly gently reminded of what they already know, but they already know what they need to know when they get here. That's part of what would qualify them to be Indigo, or whatever trendy title they are using these days.

In my personal belief I think that everyone is a starseed or an indigo or whatever. We are all products of the universe and we're all made of stardust at the end of the day. I also think the terms and labels came about for people to feel like a 'special snowflake'. It's easy for people who defy conventions or maybe don't 'fit in' (especially young people, teenagers etc...) to sometimes feel confused and like somone else pointed out, it's a way to make things easier to understand and bring a sense of control and purpose to a conflicting and confusing world that sometimes doesn't appreaciate your quirks etc...

Honestly, some people are more spiritually conscious than other people and that's something we can all see for our selves. I think everyone has the potential to be spiritually aware, psychic and empathetic it's all a matter of how you choose to be conscious about it.

I was born into a family like this. Worse even. Didn't deter me. I just ignored them all lol.

Indigo intuition is stronger than the circumstances they/we find ourselves in. That's kinda the point.

Couldn't help but smile at this-

although i agree about the labeling thing, for me it was a liberation to find some literature about indigos.

i have found it amids a profound spiritual awakening that started last year and that is still continuing. it was no easy ride. i thought i would simply loose my mind by the end of the year.

anyway. for me finding out about indigos was a relief. suddenly all my weird perceptions found some kind of explanation. because i have ALWAYS felt somehow different from everybody else. it is not that i see people. I FEEL people inside me. i look through their eyes and feel their souls. i SENSE things and see PATTERNS that others miss. my skin is very, very thin. I pick up all that is not said and even more. sometimes i read other's thoughts in silence. if somebody is upset I FEEL exactly as they feel. I communicate with animals. i feel the angels.

anyway. for the most part of my life, these things made me a loner. and i experienced a LOT of pain. this is no science fiction. i think I have felt the pain of any person i have met, on top of my own. even from strangers on the bus.

when i was younger, these gifts, were … a torture.

later i have started accepting them and now… i use them. to help poor people. and it is good.

BUT. loneliness remains. it is a lonely journey. because I feel and see the world in a different way. it is not easy to explain. but it is just the way it is.

so, labels are not a good thing, everyone will be different. but for me it was good to realize that perhaps there is some grain of truth in it.

bear in mind that i found out about this only a couple of months ago…AFTER making all the previous experiences. so, well. it is no suggestion.

love to all. black cat

I agree with this. I guess the labels give some sense of validation where it's lacking in all the places it should be.

I find no truth in this, it sounds like a twilight story to me.
It is a narrowed, new age philosophy, with a dead end. We where born with certain learning patterns. These paths gives us all different abilities and disabilities. How this works, we can find in karma and dharma.
Although, i most say, it does breed curiosity toward spirituality.

may I ask you than… how do you experience the world and reality and people?

[SapphireBlue]

I don't get the labels. For example, I think saying one's self is an 'empath' or 'lightworker' is sort of putting one's self on a pedestal, as everyone has those qualities if they so choose to embody them.

[Native spirit]

Labels are useful in some situations but not all. for example my friends son is Autistic but as he gets older more and more symptoms are showing themselves
he is very impulsive he attacked a little boy whilst with my friend in the Bank
my friend told the boys mother that he was autistic so she let it go.

Yet some labels can be like a stone around your neck I know of kids who classed themselves as Indigo child yet he was the meanest thing walking on two legs,
so labels can be a hit and miss sometimes.

The labels are heinous! However, we need them in order to refer to them.I remember once when I did videos about twin flames and I said labels aren't fun and we could do without pigeon holing people. Yet we need them, if I asked you to pass me a pen and it did not have the label pen, how could you know what i am talking about! So I guess they are necessary.

As for the scenario you cover in your OP, I think that this is the rule rather than the exception, most of these children were put in situations like you outline and many of them have had to learn or are still unlearning the conditioning. Therefore they are no less anything, they are just what they are. Spiritually gifted, highly intelligent and amazing souls navigating the world that they struggle to be in, as most of these children do...
