and I bet their parents believe in this crap too:

 

A psychic guru prays the rosary: John Edward's new book promotes the ancient prayer

 

Sylvia Browne: Catholic?, Parochial School Teacher and Psychic or a Charlatan & Huckster

I saw this nonsense on DU a few weeks ago, it made less sense than it did here.

That's why you see all the hurricanes; that's why you see so many changes in the world very, very fast; and that's why Indigos are being sent to the world -- to save it and turn it around to bring enlightenment into people's lives that this is not the path.

ROFL! Why hasn't this person been on George Noory yet?

[metmom]

Laura Mikuseviciuje, now 20, who attended Friday's screening of "Indigo Evolution" with her mother, spoke a bit more directly and forcefully: "The world needs us right now," she said. "That's why you see so many Indigo kids. There are no more chances because we've driven our universe" to the brink of extinction.

"That's why you see all the hurricanes; that's why you see so many changes in the world very, very fast; and that's why Indigos are being sent to the world -- to save it and turn it around to bring enlightenment into people's lives that this is not the path."

They also think no small beans of themselves. Lucky us...

Uh...no :o)

Indigo Children, as they're called, typically exhibit a combination of common characteristics such as being strong-willed, creative, intuitive, independent, restless, possessed of a deep desire to help the world and, often, able to bond easily with animals.

In other words, little liberals.

Thanks for posting it. I think there have been others, but I never stopped to read them until now. This term is being used a lot of places and I had no idea what it meant. Now I do.

I thought it was just a movie gimmick and they were like "Children of the Corn" or something. And I thought there were only 5 of them in the world, somewhere in Appalachia.

I used to get those Kirlian "photos" done at a street fair here every year long ago, but I wouldn't buy them--just let them "read my aura" for fun. You can find a mood ring or something made out of that same stuff and read your own. Bet there are tons of people with Indigo auras at any given time--well out of the speficied age range. Dumb!

[Comstock1]

My spin on this idiocy:

Plain and simple: With declining birth rates comes guilt. To soothe the guilt, these morons somehow create the illusion that these few children are "special". We aren't having more babies we're having better babies!

I just want to grab these people and tell them that I liked "Powder" and "Phenomenon" too, but get a life. They don't have special powers.

Or maybe they're Gypsies.

"... sceptics abound"

One would certainly hope so.

I used to watch John Edward when he had his show on TV. Mainly because I was fascinated but VERY skeptical. He really did appear to know things about certain guests. His guests more likely than not gave away pertinent information while waiting in a lobby waiting to be seated. He probably had a staff that gleaned every bit of information on guests from newspapers etc. I still think he is an entertainer and nothing more.

I have seen Sylvia Brown on the Montel Show. My mother watches him and Dr. Phil faithfully. Sylvia brown comes off as even less believable than John Edwards. I am sure that Montel knows she is not what she professes to be. He frequently shuts people up that ask Sylvia Brown indepth questions by calling on another audience member. She writes many books and donates $25,000. at a time to the Montel Williams MS Foundation. I am not saying that is bad just that it is odd.

Now that everyone has gone digital, how will this stuff work?

[Dianna]

"It all boils down to that stigma of getting a mental diagnosis. There's such a negative connotation ... that people can't help but feel like their children aren't perfect if they get that diagnosis. So they may be thinking that children with ADHD are not imperfect, but that they are actually more special in some way."

I think this quote nails the whole thing. MY child isn't a brat! She's special!

[B-Chan]

[TN4Liberty]

This reminds me of the special new powers belonging to the mutants in X-Men. I wonder if any of them can shoot flames out of their eyes?

I'm an indigo child and want to change the world but liberals won't listen to me. I'll have to find a way to call lightning down on them.

[wouldntbprudent]

Long ago I read an article about Jessica Lang and how she had become convinced, and convinced her son, that her son was some kind of extraterrestrial or moon person or some such.

Sounds an awful lot like this Indigo stuff.

The most disturbing part is the identity these children seem to take on as Chosen Ones Sent to Fix The World. That's a rocky road for all concerned.

"That's why you see all the hurricanes; that's why you see so many changes in the world very, very fast; and that's why Indigos are being sent to the world -- to save it and turn it around to bring enlightenment into people's lives that this is not the path."

Given that our president is responsible for the hurricanes (I heard that somewhere), the truth is that the Indigos are here to Deliver Us From W.
