"Crystal Children" Aspies?

Post Reply New Topic

If I look in a certain way I can see the glow, but I'm sure there's a scientific explanation. I've read one but I can't remember what it is. I can see an aura around an object too but I couldn't begin to guess what that indicated of the object's spiritual state.
Just look at something the same way you would a "magic eye" picture.
Weirdly though , years ago I saw Ram Dass talk (it was actually work related)and there was a blue duplicate shape of his upper body hanging over his head. Not anything I had to look a certain way to see. Perhaps it was done by stagecraft.

I didn't ask for an explanation of an aura. I could care less what it is. The question was what makes you believe it can't exist? I personally don't believe much in auras, but I don't firmly believe that they don't exist.

Have you ever heard of a willow-the-wisp? It's a little ball of light that floats through forests, and some poor souls follows it through the woods. Later someone finds a burnt corpse. People believed in them for a long time, but eventually some scientists said, if it's not physical it isn't real. A hundred years later ball lightning was discovered.

I don't think all paranormal stuff is BS to fill the empty headed masses with entertainment, even if it largely is, because some stuff has explanations beyond our current understanding, but will be explained later. In short, I didn't think it was fair for you to say that there is no such thing as auras without some form reasoning other than it's not accepted in the modern view of the universe, because it sounds too "new age." So if you have some form of justification, I am willing to listen, but otherwise, anybodies guess is as good as ours.

EDIT: You can recreate ball lighting with a microwave, sulfur, and a glass jar! It's really cool.

Ketutar, first I wanted to commend you on your lighthearted spirit in the face of so much cynicism I used to believe that auras and indigo children were, as others have said, new age crap. I am not a 'new age' type person. But I am also not a closed-minded person, and one of the things that parenting a child with autism has taught me, is that there is SO MUCH about human beings that I do not understand. The fact that I do not understand it, does not mean it doesn't exist.

There are a lot of new age authors capitalizing on the concept of Indigo Children, and unfortunately I think it's mucking up the beauty of the pure concept in it's original form. Stripping away the consumerism (book selling) that has adhered itself to the concept like a layer of salty barnacles, you are left with something really quite beautiful and not at all ridiculous.

When my son was a baby, he literally did mesmerize strangers. He was a magical baby in terms of the effect he had on people wherever we went. I had more than one person tell me that he seemed to glow. I really didn't think much of it at the time, but over the years, I had a number of people ask me, after meeting him, whether I had every heard of 'Indigo Children'. Because anyone who knew about them, became convinced he was one of them. So I looked it up, and in terms of the pure concept, I think there may be something to it. I would say, I'm not willing to write it off just yet

I've just done a search to see whether anyone has brought up the topic of Crystal Children before making my own thread.

I was on another forum and the conversation turned to autism and people started talking about crystal and indigo children and it annoyed me like crazy.

Seems to me this is wishful thinking on behalf of parents of special needs kids wanting to make them somehow really special, distinct. It's like not accepting your child needs help.

However, I condone enjoying the good qualities your autie kids have. I am very intelligent and artistic and peaceful and have big eyes, like kiddies in this list, but list of traits is definately a barnum statement.

I call pseudoscience. The statements to describe Crystal Children are so vague, they'd accurately describe both me and my sister and we couldn't be more different as far as siblings go. This whole Crystal/Indigo Children seems to be nothing more than a hype, allowing parents of perfectly ordinary but unruly children to let their offspring roam free because they are "special". Sometimes, parents need to face up to the fact that their idealised dream baby isn't quite as special or talented as they wanted him or her to be. Labelling your plain-as-porridge child as a Crystal Child or an Indigo Child is a classic example of relieving cognitive dissonance and not to be encouraged IMO,.
