Talk:Indigo child
Sorry[edit]
Sorry! ContribsTalk 04:42, 3 May 2008 (EDT)
I'd never heard of them - Illuminating to say the least! ContribsTalk 04:49, 3 May 2008 (EDT)
Don't think we've got anything on auras!

- I was an indigo child back in the 50s before it became popular. Now I'm just extremely faded denim.

- 'An example of this was illustrated in a Dallas Observer article discussing indigo children, a reporter recorded the following interaction between a man who worked with indigo children, and a purported indigo child: 'Are you an indigo? he asked Dusk. The boy looked at him shyly and nodded. "I'm an avatar," Dusk said. "I can recognize the four elements of earth, wind, water and fire. The next avatar won't come for 100 years.'
- 'In each generation of the show's internal universe, one person is capable of Bending all four elements; this being is referred to in the show as the Avatar, the spirit of the planet manifested in human form. When the current Avatar dies, they are reincarnated into a baby native in the next of the four nations in the Avatar Cycle, which parallels the seasons: winter for water, spring for earth, summer for fire, and autumn for air. While legend holds that the Avatar must master the elements in order, starting with their native element, this can sometimes be compromised when the situation requires it.'

Coincidence? I think not. --82.44.64.173
Obviously these people are fakes because they don't know what they're talking about. There are FIVE elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Aether/Void. Or was it Wood? Or maybe it was Wood and Metal? Maybe there are seven elements... Daecon 09:14, 10 July 2008 (EDT)
In dingo child[edit]
- Not to be confused with "In dingo child", which is what your child might become if you misplace it in Australia.
Even gets a mention on our TVTropes page. Made me laugh. Blue (pester) 00:13, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
A special snowflake chimes in[edit]
I can claim most of this is true and I actually feel really understood however we are not bratty with self worth, in fact the truth of it is most Indigo children feel the need, sometimes the desperation to "go home" without understanding why, back to where we came from before put on Earth being the meaning and you can often catch us staring at the sky, in which case we don't "feel a deserving to be here". We aren't aliens. We feel important in our own way but we don't brag about it. .— Unsigned, by: 75.131.193.77 / talk / contribs
Alternative Medicine?[edit]
I'm not seeing the connection to alt-med? It's almost the definition of New Age, but it's not like treatment for anything, is it? Read-Write (talk) 04:15, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
Christ and crystals(awesome band name idea)[edit]
"Jesus was one of them, that's why the word Christ is like the word crystal (a claim that makes linguists facepalm, since the two words are etymologically unrelated and just happen to sound alike in English)" Lol, let's talk about linguistic expertise here: Christ and crystal sound alike in almost any spoken language :D — Unsigned, by: 185.213.20.85 / talk
Spice[edit]
Nah. They don't have auras. They just consumed spice. 🇷🇸 Serbian Arbiter (What would you have your arbiter do?) 19:39, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Uncharitable[edit]
Yeah, the concept of indigo children is bullshit, but think about it from the parents' perspective. Would you rather your children have to live with a stigma for being neurodivergent for the rest of their lives? Can you not see how this alternate diagnosis would be appealing to parents then? I'm not saying to treat the concept as valid, because it's not, but I do think the callous uncharitability here is a little uncalled for, given the circumstances of the time.
