My son told me that he thinks he is one of these.  My heart sank. I believe it is a new age thing and I warned him about so many false doctrine and teaching out there today.  Anybody know about this sort of thing?

He isn't much of a child anymore. He is 23.  He has had a tough time "doing life" and is in search for significance, I believe and this is the most "recent" thing he has found.  I often wonder why people search for everything except God.  I don't know if this is fueled by rebellion against all he has been taught or what.  It is upsetting to think he may waste a whole lot of time on another "road to nowhere".  (sigh)  I just have to trust that the Lord will guide him.  He was saved at age 13, but has always struggled with authority and rebellion, then later drugs and such.  Makes my heart ache and gives me yet another reason to pray for him intently.

Praying for you and your son, Needle Me.

Hugs for you, sweet sister.

To borrow an overused cliche, 'I feel your pain.' I have a 21 year old daughter that sounds a lot like your son. She recently came home with books on Tarot Cards, UFOs, Palm Reading and even The Satanic Bible. She just says that she is 'curious' as doesn't believe in any of it. She gets very defensive and mad if you try to talk to her about God, although she was raised in a loving home and went to church all her life until she was about 17. I, like you, just continue to pray that The Lord will bring her to a place of repentance and turning to Him. I will pray for your son as well.

Love in Christ. 

Needleme, I will be praying for you and for your son.  Nothing hurts a mother more than one of their children in pain, and it sounds like your son may be in pain.  He is searching and not being fulfilled because he is not searching for the one that can fulfill his soul.  God may be drawing him, and he is fighting against Him.  I will pray that he gives into God and finds what he is looking for in Him alone. 

Old topic, I know, but I think I have a somewhat unique view.

I used to be heavy into the occult/new age... for most of my life.

And even THEN, to me people who claimed to be Indigo Children/People or parents who go on TV or write books to claim their children were... to me, all they were were self-important, self-obsessed people! Even THEN I could see right through it.

I pray your son can humble himself and realize there is no such thing as an "indigo person". It's just a label... like when we call celebrities "stars"...to raise them above other people, even though they are no better or more important that the rest of us. It's just a personality issue. Maybe even psychological.

There are MANY Youtube videos about these so-called "Indigo children." They... or their parents... can't stop bragging about them. My child is SO much smarter than his peers... they are so much more special. Probably reincarnated from a Prince or a King.. etc. etc.

You clearly aren't doing that. I'm glad you came here to ask others what they thought instead of playing along with it. Unfortunately, I see too often, parents who make their children believe that they are better than other children and should act accordingly. These kids are the nightmare bullies in high school ... ask me how I know. lol

I forgot where I heard this story from but am reminded of it:
A little girl waiting in the checkout line with her mother turns to the man behind them and asks him, "Don't you think I'm SO pretty?" She was completely serious. And her mother was embarrassed... rightly so!

I would have been embarrassed to be the man!

"One thesis of The Indigo Children seems to be that many children diagnosed as having attention deficit disorder (ADD) or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) represent "a new kind of evolution of humanity."

Obviously, the person who said this has *NO* idea what it is like to have ADD or ADHD. It has made life very difficult for me. I am smart, and creative, but no more so than many other people without the disorder. My brain works differenly, but it is a problem, not a benefit. For instance, I quit driving because my brain switches to paying attention to things around me, to what it wants to ponder, in a split second, and I have no control over it. I kept driving past stopped school buses with their stop sign out. Almost killing children because your brain doesn't work properly, is not a step in the evolution of humanity!!

These people are clueless.
