Hi all
I must admit that it never even occurred to me to even find out what indigo's were, but after reading all the posts, I find that I have missed something important.
Reading through the questions in spiritalk's post, I find that I answered yes to most, if not all of them, even at my age – I also read that that one of the objections of the sceptics is that these things apply to most teenagers.
It got me thinking about my job some three years ago with a local college, where I was chosen to teach metalwork to some kids. There was a scheme to invite kids from local schools to spend time at the college. As you can imagine, the schoolteachers saw this as an opportunity to get shot of troublesome kids and this is exactly what we got.
The other lecturers laughed and winked at me and I got comments about “being in trouble now”. I was told that the jobs selected for them were impossible and that they would never achieve any kind of success.
What I found was just the reverse although they did have some unusual ways. For example, they would all stop work some half hour nor so before the set time for break and nothing would persuade them to do any more. I overcame this by getting them around a bench and we would talk about any subject that was interesting, films, UFO's, music. After break they would return and work very well. I came to the conclusion that they had no concept of time in the usual way or that they disliked the authoritarian clock, or whatever.
They told me that some of them were on prescription drugs and some refused to take them. “You can tell who's on them as they are zombies” they would say.
The point of all this, is that they were just as capable, if not more so, than the average kid. They all did some excellent stuff and I had a great sense of their exclusion from the education system for minor crimes that they seemed not to even know about.
Indigos?
