Adnama Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I don't know how many of y'all believe in this sort of thing, but, even before I'd discovered the term "asexuality" I read something about the "indigo children" and one of the things that grabed me as I brushed though pages of 'characteristics' " may reject sexuality in boredom or with intention of achieving higher spiritual connection. May explore alternate types of sexuality. " And I've seen it written in different ways, and all in all, its asexuality is it not? Ok well now I'm getting ahead of my self. This all has to do with 'aruas,' as it goes, there's a new color of 'aura' ariveing on the planet [betcha can't guess what color that is lol], and most of these are kids though there are some adults, and theres just alot of very specific things about these people, it's all very intersting. I'm not explaining this well, so here's a site: http://www.metagifted.org/topics/metagifte...dultIndigo.html And any how, I'm just curious what every one thinks. Link to post Share on other sites
Jayann Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 It's not really asexuality. Consciously abandoning whatever inclinations one has for sex is what would be referred to as being voluntarily celibate. This is particularly demonstrated in the latter part of the phrase, concerning spirituality. Being asexual has nothing to do with self improvement or ideals. It's just a natural disinclination. Also, just from the connotation of "boredom" concerning sexual things, in the context of making choices about sexuality (either very expressive, or very laidback) implies that these people may be easygoing with things of a sexual nature, but not asexual by definition.

Adnama Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 I know I saw a site one time that had it written differently... that described the asexuality thing more accuretly... but I can't find it. Ahh well. I think I am indigo, but I'm not 100% sure *shrugs* Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes, more or less yes. I'm not really an indigo child XD It seems to me, in myer-briggs terminology, that indigo children are somewhere between INFPs and INTPs. I'm an INFP, and I remember Pie being an INTP, so if Pie and I somehow became the same person, there's a good change the outcome would be an indigo child XD Link to post Share on other sites

Icarus Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Wow--thanks for posting this--I need to come to this forum more often. I think I've heard of this before but didn't look into it or simply forgot about it. And I've seen it written in different ways, and all in all, its asexuality is it not? I'd say an Indigo (why is it that I really like the sound of that? Maybe because I am one? :)) is more likely to not be obsessed with sex to begin with regardless of orientation, probably due to an inclination toward open-mindedness. And if he/she is asexual, accepting of asexuality as perfectly legitimate instead of becoming frustrated with it and trying to pretend to be sexual, not being one for blind conformity to begin with. And with that.... Are intelligent, though may not have had top grades.*Ding* I was somewhere around a C+ student. Are very creative and enjoy making things. Major *DING**DING**DING* Always need to know WHY, especially why they are being asked to do something. Usually I can figure out "why" on my own. Otherwise yes to an extent. Had disgust and perhaps loathing for much of the required and repetitious work in school. Major *DING*DING*DING* Probably 90% of school work was uninteresting to downright unpleasant due to stuff like this. Were rebellious in school in that they refused to do homework and rejected authority of teachers The majority of the time, no., OR seriously wanted to rebel, but didn't DARE, usually due to parental pressure. Yeah, more or less. May have experienced early existential depression and feelings of helplessness. These may have ranged from sadness to utter despair. Suicidal feelings while still in high school or younger are not uncommon in the Indigo Adult. I've had a few particularly nasty periods in my life, but chronic depression wasn't a problem (there was usually something, even if it was a fantasy land, that kept me out of it) and I didn't get particularly suicidal. Have difficulty in service-oriented jobs. Yes. My current job is partially service-oriented, and the "service" part I would like to do without Indigos resist authority Not authority outright, only abuses and illegitimate flaunting thereof and caste system of employment. No-f*kking-joke yes. Prefer cooperative efforts Bingo, leadership positions No. If I'm a driver I want NO passengers, or working alone. Yes. Preferably a mix of cooperative teamwork and alone. Have deep empathy for others I think so, yet an intolerance of stupidity. Not so much outright intolerance (usually) as sheer contempt. May be extremely emotionally sensitive including crying at the drop of a hat (no shielding) Or may be the opposite and show no expression of emotion (full shielding). Closer to the latter of those two May have trouble with RAGE. Yes, sometimes. I get what could be called" anger trips" sometimes--usually involving intense thoughts of retribution to the point of flinching violently. Have trouble with systems they consider broken or ineffective ie. political, educational, medical, and legal. Yes Alienation from or anger with politics - feeling your voice won't count and that the outcome really doesn't mattter. Yes, but partly because politics confuses the ever-loving hell out of me. I'm not even registered to vote right now because I can't make sense of it all. Frustration with or rejection of the traditional American dream - 9-5 career, marriage, 2.5 children, house with white picket fence, etc. Holy fucking shit...my view towards the typical Americana path-of-life is a bit contemptuous (doesn't reflect on the people who choose [conform to?] it though), and I describe is as: "with a significant other and 2.7 kids and 1.5 pets, a home in suburbia where you mow the lawn every Sunday and go to your Monday-through-Friday 8-to-5 office job..." Not original I know, and I have seen it before, but seeing it almost exactly here... Major *ding-ding-ding-ding* Anger at rights being taken away, fear and/or fury at "Big Brother watching you." Major yes. You could add "anger at rights being infringed upon by misappropriation of technology" and "anger at government pandering to coporations and not considering the overall moral good" to that. They feel a burning desire to do something to change and improve the world. Yes May be stymied what to do. Yes May have trouble identifying their path. "AM having trouble" is more like it Have psychic or spiritual interest fairly young - in or before teen years. Psychic, no. Spiritual, yes, not in an overt way though. Ditto for the present. Had few if any Indigo role models. Had few role models period is more like it. Have strong intuition. I'm pretty sure I do. Random behavior pattern or mind style - (symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder), may have trouble focusing on assigned tasks, Yes may jump around in conversations. Sometimes Have had psychic experiences, such as premonitions, seeing angels or ghosts, out of body experiences, hearing voices. I've always been leery of anything psychic, so I don't know what I'd be capable of if I were to try and get into it. One thing I've had an inordinate number of times is if I'm listening to the radio or musicchoice or similar, a on getting a sense of what song is going to be played next a few seconds before it comes on. Or thinking a lot about a song and having it come on shortly afterward. But mostly I chalk this up to coincidence or my picking up on patterns (playlists I've already heard for example) without realizing it. May be electrically sensitive such as watches not working and street lights going out as you move under them, electrical equipment malfunctioning and lights blowing out. I haven't had things quit working, fortunately: I work with electronic stuff all the time. :? I wonder if I've caused things to work better though... :D May have awareness of other dimensions and parallel realities. Hmmmm, sometimes I wonder. For one thing, for most of my life there have been some things, that I "discover" or get an "imprint" from, that give me a major emotional high from their appearance or specific aesthetic qualities. (Think of the attraction you get from a Ferrari if you like cars or a thrill ride if you like those, It's like that but but taken to a much higher level.) I've wondered at times if there was some underlying physical (or metaphysical) phenomena involved that I was picking up on. But in general I'm assuming there isn't. Sexually are very expressive and inventive OR may reject sexuality in boredom or with intention of achieving higher spiritual connection. May explore alternate types of sexuality. Rejecting sexuality in absolute disinterest is more like it. Seek meaning to their life and understanding about the world. May seek this through religion or spirituality, spiritual groups and books, self-help groups and books. *Ding*Ding*Ding* ~~~~~~~~~~ I don't buy into the metaphysics too much, to me it seems more of a personality thing than anything else. I do agree that indigos are at least xNxP. (My myers-briggs type is INFP) Link to post Share on other sites
KAGU143 Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 If I have ever heard of this before reading this post, I don't remember it. It fits, though. It fits TOO well! Now I am really creeped out and all of my hair is trying to stand up. Even my favorite color is indigo. I would have to mark yes on every single category except for rage ... but that is just another emotion to be shielded against, so I don't consider it a contradiction. You wouldn't BELIEVE the problems I have had with electrical things! -Greybird Link to post Share on other sites
yam Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I, too, fit all of the categories except for the grade one. I tried to look up more information on Indigo children but sadly there doesn't seem to be much. Link to post Share on other sites
