This was forwarded to me by the woman who first suggested my child was an Indigo (before I'd ever heard the word used in that way.)

A surprising look at the Indigo Children:
>
It may surprise people to learn that I don't consider myself a "true Indigo believer." Yes, it's true that I've written several books on the topic, was the executive producer and screenwriter for the original Indigo feature film, and am now the director/producer of the new documentary, "The Indigo Evolution."
>
>How is it possible, then, that I prefer to stand on the outside looking in, uncommitted in my opinion and more than a little skeptical about the never ending queue of labels: from "Indigos" to "Crystals" to "Rainbows," all trying to identify a phenomenon that most of us recognize and experience, but which evades our common senses. Maybe it's not that I'm a
non-believer, but rather that I've seen too much to let the children be lumped together so conveniently, more for our benefit than theirs. I've met too many of the children and heard too many of their stories to let this be reduced to a New-Age fad, only to fall off the map when the next distraction comes along.
>
>Yes, I feel that is more my position - I believe in the children, I just don't believe they can be deposited into neat little boxes that help us understand who they are and how important their mission is on a planet that is very much in need of a mission.
>
>And that is why I feel that the documentary is so important. Don't expect many easy answers, but you can expect many good questions. Many of them will be asked by the children themselves, and by the so called "experts," most of whom seem to share my inability to tie a nice colorful bow on top of this package. Most of the children I have worked with dismiss the
>label "Indigo," or "Crystal." They defy the boxes we would place them in, and that, as far as I'm concerned, makes them even more intriguing. It akes me want to work even harder to get their message out to the world, and message that can be summed up in a few simple words: "The Time is Now!!!"
>
>Maybe another part of their message is that we should stop putting ourselves in boxes as well. The New Children, which is the phrase that works for me, are part of a New Humanity, one in which we are all included. There is nothing new about these children, in fact most of us were part of the first wave, or the fifth wave, or the five-hundred and forty-seventh wave, depending on how far back you go. The Indigos have always been around, it's just that we now have eyes to see them.
Hopefully, we also have eyes to see ourselves as well. That would be the greatest gift the children could inspire. Then we wouldn't have to wave the banner in front of them and give them all the accolades we deny ourselves. Then we would realize that we are all in this together, and that each one of us, regardless of our age, or race, or religion, have a
>unique role to play in this unfolding drama called Life.
>
>If I didn't think this was an important subject, I would not have spent the last year making this film - a documentary that I believe will open the eyes of millions of people around the world. I think that this is one of the most important subjects out there, but only if we widen our perspective to hear the real message these children are trying to teach us. It's the same message most of you have been teaching as well, for the apple never falls very far from the tree. We have been planting these seeds for some time now, and the harvest is nearly upon us. It's time to open our hearts and our minds to a new world, one that we create together. That, I hope, is what this film will inspire.
