    Default Birth of a new religion??

    I saw this article and thought Hmmmm... Looks like a cult. But then a looked a little deeper and it appears to be a loving and benevolent movement.

    Okay, so they me be a little off, but who am I to judge? These people have found a way to love and revere their difficult children, giving these kids a better start in life. So where's the harm?

    indigo kids!
    i think theymight be like alienplants kinda here to help us
    cos theres a strict non interventionist ppolicy and this might be a loophole
    or itsjust a stepin the spiritual" evolution of man
    its about time

    its not a religion its just what they call kids who reject standard authority and social heirarchies at an early age
    like they seem like old souls and really advanced and stuff at young ages
    i think baby talk makes kids dumber!

    This has be considered a belief system because it can't be proved scientifically. I'm not saying that it will never be proven, it just isn't right now.

    Just like it was part of regilous dogma that illness was brought on by "evil spirits" until we invented the microscope. Now we know that it was micro-organisims including bacteria and viriuses. Prayer and holy water isn't nearly as effective as antibiotics in curing illnesses.

    And sure, you can call them alien plant or alien genetic manipulation or whatever. It is all still a faith based system with out any proof. You can substitute both ideas and it still makes the same amount of sense. In the end the children (and now adults) are treated not as mentally disabled or socially off, but are treated as equeals, and are given a chance to establish a healthy self esteem.

    And Princessjefflina, I am not slamming your beliefs. I feel the beliefs of alien interference in human life is no more strange than god speaking to moses from a burning bush. It could happen. And the message is a good one.

    Paris, are you familiar with scientology, it's beliefs, practices, and founder (whom I mention in my previous post)?

    If anyone reads the Dallas article, do so from page 4.

    first wave of indigos supposedly came in mid/late '70, some sources say a few have been born sooner, and kids born now embody crystal energy, and rainbow ones are to come.

    btw, i personally think to each their own. if believing this makes someone's life easier, and to them explains some things, more power to them. no harm done. it's not a religion anyway. and isn't it better to believe that what's different about you is positive than just buying into herd mentality and agreeing that yes, you just need to be medicated.

    i have trouble with saying exactly what i mean for some reason, but still had to say this anyway.

    Ahhh, but by your own statement it IS a religion:

    re·li·gion

    1. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
    2. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.
    The life or condition of a person in a religious order.
    3. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.
    4. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

    This is why I referred to it as such. I was just going by the dictionary definition.

    It is really new age-y though.

    Well, I believe in the Indigo Movement and that there are Indigo Children. It is not about CHANGING others, but allowing others to grow and making the changes that are needed for their own lives.

    BTW...it's not a religion. It's a belief...it's a way of living...but it's not a religion. At least not in the way that Christianity or Catholicism is a religion.

    That's all I will say.

    maybe i should look at the site cos i dunno what your referring to about indigo kids being a religion cos generallytheyre just kids that dont mindlessly respect/follow traditionalauthority ideas
    and theyre deemed abnormal for questioning it
    the alien ideas predate the bible either way its allsymbolic and metaphorical wether its god as a being story or man being created by aliens
    the emssage is the same
    always
    scientology is insane
    haha fuckin xenu
    but it paralelsalot of my suspicions i dont think religion was programmed into us by watching a movie foir 30 days tho
    haha
    imma check the sites and see what it says tho so ican more accuratly comment onthis threadi just saw the word indigo
    and went off
    haha

    A lot of reports say that the majority of children diagnosed with ADHD, are actually Indigos. They are non-conformists. They are here to tear down the existing structures of society. The only way they don't do that is by being drugged. Indigos are naturally "fighters". They'll fight for change...they'll question everything, and they refuse to do something because they were told to. The change doesn't need to be coming from them...it needs to be coming from the older generations. But, usually the older generations are too set in their ways and believe in only one way...that's where the problems lie.

    OK,
    I do have to admit this does intrigue me..maybe because I do have ADD. But at the same time it's a bit "out there". But I also have a hard time with "regular" religion stuff.

    I would like to read more into it though, just because I'm a curious person and love to research stuff...Problem is, I have a hard time reading due to my ADD! I wouldn't mind seeing the movie, I'm a visual person.

    So, does this have anything to do with the Indigo Girls?

Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"

    Question the sources, the two author (filmakers) mentioned.

    Tyman - author of Emissary of Light from the Dallas article posted by Paris:
    After the book was published, questions about its origin surfaced, and a New Age organization called New Heaven New Earth decided to take a closer look at Twyman. They concluded that much of the book had been lifted from other sources, including a three-volume set called A Course in Miracles (supposedly written by Jesus Christ through a Jewish psychologist) and the teachings of the Endeavor Academy, a Wisconsin group to which Twyman had once belonged. Within New Age circles, Endeavor was widely considered a cult, led by a former real estate broker and recovered alcoholic named Chuck Anderson who, according to NHNE, "exerted god-like powers over his followers, many of whom have given up everything they own to the community."

    Twyman's response to the report was that he hadn't meant every word in his book to be taken literally. He insisted, however, that the 13 emissaries he'd met were real people he encountered in the flesh, but they were no longer on this physical plane. He had embellished certain parts to make the story more exciting, he acknowledged, but the essence of the book was true. He called it allegorical nonfiction.

    Even within New Age circles, the NHNE report had little effect, and it did nothing to slow Twyman's rise. His follow-up, Emissary of Love, told the story of a similar encounter in 2001, when Twyman met with a secret group of psychic children called the Children of Oz in the mountains of Bulgaria. These children would help humans attain the next level of spiritual evolution. It was the first time Twyman had written about indigos, and it made him an instant expert on the subject.
    Twyman's not the only one making money off indigos, Anderson says, and he's not the only one who may have used misleading tactics to do so. Doreen Virtue, the California-based psychotherapist who wrote The Care and Feeding of Indigos and has known Twyman for 10 years, claims to have a Ph.D., but the school she got it from, California Coast University, was not accredited when she attended and is widely considered a diploma mill, meaning it has no physical campus and offers degrees for a flat fee. Virtue also says she worked at two psychiatric hospitals, one in Tennessee and the other in the Bay Area, but both hospitals have been closed for years, making it difficult to verify her claims.
    a site critical of indigos - http://selectsmart.com/twyman.html
    The James Randi Educational Foundation offers over a million dollars to "anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event." Similar organizations offer additional large sums of money, totaling about 2.5 million. I implore Twyman, Ilchi Lee, and their cohorts, or just one of the purported millions of psychic adults and children to come forward and take the scientific challenges. You owe it to children around the world, as it is the children who ultimately will pay the price if they are being deceived or used to deceive others.
    The million dollar James Randi challenge has been around since 1996. http://www.randi.org/research/index.html

    A belief in something that cannot be proved is called one of two things:
    1) delusion
    2) religion

    Too pour a little gasoline on the fire, the dallas article has something like this:
    A little boy who is "hearing thoughts" of classmates and experiencing learning difficulties at school is featured in this article. At one point, an Indigo Child enthusiast who hangs out a shingle to counsel children asked the boy: "Are you an Indigo?" The boy answered: "I'm an avatar; I can recognize the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire. The next avatar won't come for 100 years." "The man seemed impressed," the reporter wrote, and the man then asked the boy to read his mind.
    http://www.selectsmart.com/twyman.html adds this:
    It did sound like an esoteric thing for a little boy to know about, until a friend of mine mentioned that he probably watches the Nichelodeon TV show, "Avatar." I didn't know about this show, so I asked my son: "Can you recognize the four elements?" He answered: "Fire, water, air, and earth; I love that show." "How often does a new avatar appear?" my friend then asked her own son. "Everyone 100 years," he answered. I had to laugh, but humor gave way to sympathy for the little boy featured in the article, as the infusing of supernatural/paranormal powers to this suggestible little boy by trusted adults, as described in this article, worsens from there.

    OK, so I sat and read some..

    This resembles a similar way of thinking years ago..but just opposite...years ago, people with psychiatric disorders, such as schitzophrenia etc.. were thought to be "posessed" by demons, we know better now..but now it seems they are taking possible brain disorders and giving psuedo diagnosis.

    This seams pretty dangerous. These kids are probably going to grow up thinking they are superior to all other "beings" on earth because they have been told so...making it VERY hard to function in the real world.

    This is all very interesting to me, just because I'm a curious person, but it just seems like another "cult" like activitiy...for some reason these type of people love oregon! lol probably because of the "new age" hippie dippie thinking here. I don't know.

    It would just be a shame to see inocent kids hurt mentally.

    Like I said, I do have ADD (which is probably why some of you will have a hard time figuring out what the hell I'm rambling about! lol), but I do not believe I have any sort of psychic ability or are a mutant in some way lol. I think people are just desperate for any sort of answer to their problem when the medical community isn't giving them what they want. Parents get flustered and frustrated..I know I do, but I wouldn't dare take me or my kids to a person that has been caught lying and even discrediting themselves and is making millions off of 'theories" like this. When there is too much contriversy around somethiing like this..I just stay away and watch and research from a distance.

    Having said that, I'm not a religous person either. I need facts about everything, I guess you could say I don't have "faith"..I need to see, hear, taste, touch etc.. before I can believe something.

    delusion or religion, huh... that inspires a ramble, lol. many people call themselves spiritual but not religious. can intuition be proven scientifically? anyway, labels are really nothing. whatever the truth is, it is what it is no matter what you call it and whether you believe or not. some just know and that's enough for them. they trust their inner voice enough not to dismiss something as ridiculous if majority thinks it's bullshit. and some just need to shove everything into neat little compartments. but then, if we only use a small percentage of our brain, isn't our vocabulary limited accordingly, and couldn't it be true that there's so much more out there that can't be easily explained by someone who glimpsed it to someone who hasn't?
