Indigo Children do not exist

Okay. For all the indigo, star, or crystal children out there: If you feel like proving how totally amazing and spiritual and miraculous you are, then James Randi would be happy to set up an experiment to test that.

And he also has a big $$$$ reward for people who can prove it.

You know, I am against stereo-typing people for any reason and going by a list of attributes which can apply to just about anybody doesn't recommend this stuff to me at all. However... I have met several crystal people - adults and children - and it's not them who've told me this, I have picked this up from their spiritual energy.

James Randi and his ilk are biased from the start, so why *should* anyone waste their time and energy going thru hoops for such people? Pearls before swine...

Gut instinct over reason is notoriously unreliable, IMHO.

James Randi might have a negative view of supernatural claims, but he does do his best to make the trials unbiased.

But indigo has become interwoven with personality traits, childhood developmental traits, and myths that foretell the purpose of childrens lives. That is too much to put on children.

I understand what you are saying but you also have to give children some credit and they arent stupid. They will make their own minds up and if they dont believe it they wont. Just because parents try and impress something on a child does not mean they will grow up and believe it or let it rule their lives.

I mean arent alot of people on here proof of the fact alot of children have beliefs forced upon them in more accepted/common religions ie. the catholic religion, and we have said actually i dont believe in that im Wiccan, or something else!?

This seperation of religious identity has given rise for thousands of years to enormous human atrocities...and this continues to be at the forefront of societies fears and justifications for torture/imprisonment/murder right into the present day. As an argument for people creating yet more reasons for seperation of human beings, it falls head first into bloodshed Im afraid.

Ofcourse there are children who will find their way to independence. Some will lose their families and friends in order to do so. But should they not then voice their feelings?

Why Wiccan and something else???

Not really what we are talking about here.

I agree it leads to separation and blood shed history tells us that. Of course people should voice their feelings but only if they are concerned and they think it is their business to get involved ie. if a family member might be in trouble. It is not our place to butt in on others lives and tell them that what they are telling their children is wrong when it is something that they have faith in. Who are we to destroy someones faith.

I am in complete agreement that things like this can cause huge amounts of problems all i am saying is that we shouldnt try and say what people should and should not tell their children as its not our place. If they have faith in something let them believe it and let the child make up their own mind.

Like an Indigo Witch Hunt! Not really.

Honestly, I understand trying to perk your child up, but to make them feel special or to make them superior are two totally different things.

Who said anything about gut instinct??

Maybe so... but I still think there is a vested self-interest in there which keeps his media career rolling...
