Indigo children theory considered harmful?

Post Reply New Topic

3 years ago, I learned what it was... then I wrote this horribly long e-mail to my pastor about how there is something to that theory, or at least I have the same persnality type or something... he just told me to get some sleep and I sort of forgot about it for a while :/

Hmm...I don't think my body is poisoned by heavy mercury. I would have seen alot of doctors and that wouldn't have been okay to me.

Risperdal, no thanks.

I'm claustrophobic. No thanks. I have tried a tanning bed once only to find myself freaking out.

Now on the other hand.

If my parents knew about aspergers and just told me about why I was different, that would have been great. Could have studied on it and understood alot of stuff. They didn't know what it is was though.

There are also free treatments parents can do at their own home.

I guess people want a positive thing, I was considered fey or possessed, My diagnosis at first was mental retardation (autism was brought up but I didn't quite fit it or it wasn't an official diagnoses at the time, although I remember my parents using autistic when talking to the doctors), that is kind of disappointing for parents, later when they figured out I was smart , just sorta disconnected, it was changed to adhd, but that didn't quite fit then I was just a genius who was too far ahead of their peers to be able to have friends. Some people I know would much rather have it be something mystical, being wired differently isn't quite a good thing for them. New age stuff seems kind of strange to me, although as a young child I liked to believe I was really a fairy in switched for a human because I felt so disconnected, and like humans were something else. I think it's better to have a diagnosis in case services are needed.

Sounds like my diagnostic history lol. The didn't have ADHD when I was a child, so I got the catch-all "hyperactive". Then they got me IQ tested and I was a genius too far ahead and bored in school. Yet that wasn't enough to let me skip ahead a grade or two (and in retrospect a good thing, as I would have been even more lost).


I fantasized I might be an alien. Kept hoping for the mother ship to come down and take me home.

I think the Indigo Children theory is very harmful, and that children should be tested and diagnosed.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a parent thinking their child is special. There is a problem however when a label such as "indigo child" is used to dismiss real problems and struggles, and real behavior difficulties. My mom is a school psychologist, and there are a few parents there who don't believe in "constraining" their child's behavior with rules because they believe them to be an indigo child. Result? The kids are never told "no" at home, and so don't know how to handle it at school. Being an "indigo child" is not a free pass to do whatever you want, and it's not an excuse for unacceptable behavior, but some parents seem to treat it that way. Note: these are not kids with any apparent neurological impairments.

I don't think any kid should have to wear those clothes.
You were born to change the world-what if the kid fails or feels like he/she can't meet this high expectation. Too cultish feeling.

In an earlier age, would we have been respected and revered as shamans? shay-men? Shammens? Shamus? What's the plural of shaman?

Shampoo

"This is it, folks. This is the idea which has kept me virtually unknown for the past 16 years. I have watched my crowds dwindle. I am going nowhere, and nowhere quick, but, those of you who have children, I am sorry to tell you this, but they are not special.

Wait! I know some of you are going "WHAT?, WHAT?" Let me just clarify: I know YOU think they're special ...I'm AWARE of that. I'm just here to tell you, that they're NOT! Sorry.

Did you know that every time a guy comes he comes two-hundred million sperm? ONE out of TWO-HUNDRED MILLION – (that load, we're only talking about one load) – connected: gee, what are the f**king odds? Do you know what that means? I've wiped NATIONS off my chest with a gray gym sock.

Hate to play devil's advocate Willard, but your sperm statistics actually make a good argument that each child is quite special indeed.

About one in two-hundred million I'd say. The odds of any child being born with his/her exact genetic make-up are less than the odds of them winning the lottery later in life.

I've flushed many worlds down the toilet myself...

i think we should use the "indigo children theory" as a means to make money out of newagers, but that's just me

Buy my freaking quartz rock and put your powers to good use.





Only fifty dollars!

It's a special rock for indigo children and adults!

Seriously, really it is.

Oh and if you want to suck out all the evil mercury demons, use this special vacuum.



ten thousand dollars!

If you don't buy it to get rid of the evil mercury toxins then it means you just don't care and are uninformed.

Now go on and give me your money as you try this wonderful product and get fooled into thinking it really works because it's all in your head.

anyway even if someone was more evolved, it does not mean they dont have AS. The doctors would only help what is needed, it's not like the doctors are going to fore pills or anything. If the kids having problems then there should be a diagnosis, what could be better then trying to convince a closed minded psychiatrist that some of the traits are because its the next state in evolution.
