Who Are the Indigo Children?

The following accounts describe some of the gifted children who are sometimes referred to as “Indigo children” for their reportedly indigo-colored auras. The American mystic Edgar Cayce (1877 - 1945), who could see people’s auras, said that groups of amazing and unusual individuals would begin to incarnate on Earth late in the twentieth century and beyond. He said that they would come to be called Indigo Children.

An 8-year-old girl told her mother who is a policewoman that she waited a long time to come to Earth and to have her as a parent. She said that she had a mission. The mother says that the girl seems to be very wise and all-knowing – an “old soul.”
Akiane’s paintings from age 4 to 11.

Akiane, age 10, said that at the age of four she had visions of meeting God and meeting new people. She is inspired by God to draw, to write poems and to share Hiers gift with others. She often draws things without understanding their meaning, such as the pyramid. She said, “I started knowing that this is God; this is totally God. Hes’ helping me with my art; Hes’ helping me with my poetry, my life to live, and other people’s life. Hes’ taking care of me like I was a little butterfly. I want my art to draw people’s attention to God, and I want my poetry to keep people’s attention on God.” One of her poems says: “The day I was born I met myself. The day I was born I met my young mother. The day I was born I met Christ sleeping in my cradle.”

When Joshua was about 3 he was on a road trip with his father. Suddenly he asked about “Michelangelo,” remembering that “he painted the sky.” Joshua’s father said, “Yes, he did. He painted the sky in big churches and things.” The father asked Joshua, “Why? Did you know him or something?” Joshua said, “Yes, yes, I knew him, he was a good man. That was a long, long time ago.”
Boriska, a boy from the town of Volzhsky, Russia, can remember and vividly recount his previous existence on the planet Mars. Boriska could speak in clear words and phrases when he was only eight months old. By the age of three, he was telling his parents about the universe. He also began advising others to raise their moral standards. He warned people of coming changes on Earth. Scientists were able to photograph his aura and found it to be the color indigo, which indicates that “he is a happy person with a high I.Q.”

Identifying Indigo Children

Sandra Sedgbeer, magazine publisher and editor: “The children who are coming in today seem to have more ‘software’ already downloaded in their systems. They are an evolutionary leap; they are showing us where we are going as a species. And I believe that these children come in with more neural abilities connected; these are abilities that we all have, but we’ve lost over the centuries.”

Neale Donald Walsch, author: “Indigo children to me are children who have a dramatically expanded awareness of everything around them, things seen and unseen.”

Elizabeth Green, author and lecturer: “They have a very deep spiritual base. Not religious but spiritual…. They have a sense of knowing that there is a greater power.”

Elijah, musician: “There are some Indigos who are streaming onto the planet to bring the sword of will, the sword of power, to cut through the old paradigm and slice through the illusion. There are some who are bringing in the gentle compassion, and there are some who are bringing in the new language of light and sound.… Why are Indigos here? Indigos are here to bridge Heaven and Earth.”

Raising Indigo Children

Because of the special abilities Indigo Children possess, they present new challenges to the current school system as well as to their parents in finding the best way to support and guide them. The current system does not seem to have sufficient tools to provide them with an appropriate environment for their needs. Many gifted children are not able to fit into school and are thus labeled with problems like Attention Deficit Disorder or autism. Actually, they are just way ahead. They need more. Besides teaching how to memorize data, many educators have indicated that schools should also teach children about decision-making, eating properly, even growing food and how to meditate. Schools should cultivate ways to draw from the inside of the child, to tap the wisdom that resides there quite naturally.

We Are All Indigo Children

Throughout history Indigo Children have always graced this planet, though sometimes perhaps they were labeled differently. Some experts today don’t want to label any children as Indigo: “Since we are all children of God, these are just the people who haven’t forgotten God’s teachings. In the end we’re all the same. We can all do this.” In essence, everyone is an Indigo child because everyone has a special gift. The so-called “Indigo children” have more realization of their ability, while others need more training and spiritual practice to recover their dormant talents. In the grander picture, everyone is evolving as human beings to become better and more God-like.

According to Gary Zukave, “We are in the midst of an unprecedented, huge transformation in human consciousness. And this transformation in human consciousness is reshaping the human experience. It is reshaping it for millions of individuals and in my opinion, within just a few generations, it will have reshaped the entirety of the human experience. And so it is creating children who are being born with this newly expanded perception, and it is expanding the perception of those of us who are already walking upon this Earth…. The greater event is not the appearance of Indigo children, but the birth of an Indigo world.”

Actually, what people may not know is that due to God’s grace our world has advanced to a Golden World, not only an Indigo world. As Supreme Master Ching Hai said in a lecture in Panama on November 30, 1989: “We are in the changing age … it’s supposed to be a very spiritual age, and peaceful for humankind. It’s not that the age influences us. It is that humankind has developed and is completing the evolution circle to the very high peak. When we are in the highest peak of spiritual and evolution, we say we are in the Golden Age.”
