Joseph Bailey41 said:I get it. Even the ancient Greeks used to talk trash about the arrogant youth, but there's a new variable in the mix now: the virtual world. Those of us who first stumbled onto the internet as kids are basically "digital immigrants." Meanwhile, the kids whose moms were already surfing the web while they were still in diapers are "digital natives." There’s a massive gap between those two groups—one group knows what reality feels like, while for the other, reality feels like some sort of intellectual abstraction.
The Indigo children (if we're talking generational archetypes rather than actual aura colors) are caught right in the middle of those two worlds, with one foot in each. That’s why they can seem so lost, like they haven't quite figured out where they stand. They haven't realized yet that they actually act as a bridge—a connection point. Their purpose isn't necessarily to radically overhaul a world that changes on its own, but to link two, or more, different worlds together.
As for crystals... well, silicon is a crystal too. 😉
I don't know much about crystals or Indigo kids 🙂 , but sure, there's this whole virtual thing with phones and the internet... however, if you think back, reading books was "virtual" too. Up until twenty years ago, people built their perception of the world through books, newspapers, and comics. Some say that thousands of years ago, people had better memories and lived longer without needing to write anything down. Life was simple: you lived long, you remembered everything, and the soul remained crystal clear. 😁
Joseph Bailey41 said:I think that’s just the fundamental struggle with kids today, whether they claim to be "indigo" or whatever. They can lecture you on ecology or how democracy should function, but they lack any sort of hands-on experience with nature or society. They know everything about the plight of penguins in the Antarctic, but most have never even stood next to a cow in a field. They get lectured constantly about the importance of communication and teamwork, yet they struggle to ask someone out to a movie. I honestly blame the digital world for a lot of this... it’s hard to wrap my head around being born into a reality where there isn't much else to know. Even back when neighborhoods were all concrete and urban sprawl, there were always little nooks and crannies where kids could hide away and build their own tiny worlds. Nowadays, parks feel empty because kids don't want to play outside if there isn't a power outlet nearby. And even when they do go out, they’re glued to their phones... I don't know where they go mentally. It seems like Facebook isn't even the main thing anymore; they have these niche networks that are "in" right now, where five of them hang out digitally, but they are seriously lacking a sense of physical reality.
Hi 🙂 , I initially felt the same way, much like most of us who are slightly older. But honestly, people said the exact same things about our generation and the one before it. Once you reach a certain age, your perspective shifts—whether you want it to or not—and suddenly you're the one grumbling about the younger crowd, just as our elders grumbled about us. It’s just the natural progression of things. We like to think we've become wiser and more mature, but in reality, we might just be becoming more narrow-minded. You see what I mean? 🙂
Luck isn't exactly my forte. I haven't had any run-ins with anyone from Sirius or the indigo crowd; instead, I just encounter these half-marathon runners who use you up and then bail, offering some hollow promise that things will improve.
Joseph Bailey41 said:I actually remember reading a book called "What Color is Your Aura?" back when it first hit the shelves here in the States. It was quite a while ago, so my memory of the specific test and all its possible results is a little fuzzy. In the end, I didn't land on just one color; it was more like a mix of indigo, purple, and blue... though I can't quite recall the exact proportions.
Each color had its own chapter explaining that specific personality type. "Indigo" was treated as something separate later on, supposedly because it was a newer aura color appearing more frequently in children, whereas it was extremely rare among those born in the mid-20th century. After that, you hear about waves of "Crystal" and "Rainbow" children—more aura colors that weren't really in the original book, maybe just briefly mentioned. Since then, the internet has been flooded with info on Indigo, Crystal, and Rainbow kids, and how they differ. Apparently, Indigos are empathetic but prone to conflict, while Crystals are total sweethearts and even more socially awkward than Indigos. As for Rainbow kids, I'm not entirely sure what the deal is—maybe they're clairvoyant or something like that.
So, according to this theory (or fantasy, depending on how you look at it), no color is inherently better than another; rather, certain colors become necessary for humanity's evolution at different times. Indigos were meant to trigger changes that aren't necessarily revolutionary on their own, but serve to prep the world for the sensitive Crystal and Rainbow children, who wouldn't be able to handle their mission in the harsh world that existed before the Indigos arrived. Now, those kids have grown up, so we have these Indigo adults who are now parents to Crystal and Rainbow children—though Indigo children are still being born, along with the red, yellow, green, and blue types... basically all the traditional aura colors.
To truly determine which category someone falls into, you'd actually need to be able to see auras, and I definitely can't do that—nor do I know anyone who can. There was once a woman practicing here—I put 'psychiatrist' in quotes because people later started questioning if her medical degree was even legitimate—who taught an autogenic training course. During the class, students were supposed to intuitively sense the color of their "energy field." I couldn't pull it off, so she told me what mine was, and honestly, it didn't match any of the results from that book test at all. You can find tons of these tests online, and they all serve the same purpose as any other "personality quiz": they're fun to take, the descriptions are about as precise as a horoscope (meaning if you squint, you can find similarities), and then you either laugh it off or dive deep into studying your "type," which can be a nice way for misunderstood or misfit types to feel like they've finally found their tribe.
Thinking about it now... does anyone actually know where the first mentions of auras come from? Not the halos you see in religious paintings, but this specific concept of ethereal, astral bodies and whatnot... where did all of this originate?
😲😁 Thanks for the thorough answer and clarification; it reminded me exactly of astrology. It seems we are perpetually in the dark. It’s all just matters of perception, as some old philosophers might say. Thanks again for the detailed response, my friend. 😁
What defines an "indigo"? It seems you find yourself misunderstood by everyone while grasping everything yourself—a heavy burden for someone so perceptive. I see them everywhere, both here and abroad; they are all indigos, my friend.🙄
Joseph Bailey41 said:Except I don't live in an apartment. I live out in the woods. Can you raise your consciousness enough to feel like you and the forest are one? 🤔
The bears and the wilderness are part of you, just as you are part of them.😁
Joseph Bailey41 said:That's just called having manners. 🤷
😁 , you invite me into your apartment, I humbly accept, and because of that humility—given that you called and prepared dinner—I elevate my consciousness to a point where you, I, and your home become one entity. 🙂
From what I understand, those settlers were Christians, and they placed such a huge emphasis on things like humility and forgiveness. So, how does it make sense that things turned out the way they did? ☕
We could just as easily be talking about aliens; it doesn't change the logic. Humility isn't exclusive to Christianity; you find it in everything from Islam to Hindus to Native Americans. Humility is about respecting others and their differences, rather than forcing your own will upon them.
Joseph Bailey41 said:I actually liked her when she was posting about her grandmother on a different subforum. She sounded like such a lovely woman—tiny, but full of fire (though I'm talking about the grandma, I don't really know Cherie. 😳 )
The whole idea of humility just doesn't sit right with me. To be honest, I find the entire concept repulsive. I tried to wrap my head around it because I thought it might help me on my spiritual journey, but I just can't do it. It actually makes me feel physically uneasy when people start pushing those kinds of ideals. Other things high on my "nope" list include the idea of forgiveness and following your heart instead of your head. I usually just scroll past stuff like that.
To me, that sounds like slavery.
But hey, I get that everyone perceives things differently. There was once a user whose signature was incredibly tacky (something about glorifying service), yet her actual posts were wonderful.
Everyone is entitled to their perspective, but this specific attitude toward humility is reminiscent of how settlers acted during the conquest of the USA, the displacement of Native Americans, and the era of slavery, which effectively subjugated entire populations. Even today, we remain enslaved to various metals and non-metals. 🙂
Anthony Perez9 said:If you want to be considered a "historical figure," you actually have to show up in the history books.
Moses, Noah, Jesus—they're all just myths at this point. There isn't a single shred of historical evidence to prove any of them actually existed.
A real enlightened soul.
There are all kinds of "enlightened" types out there, big and small.
Krishna was actually a real guy who played a major role in the whole Mahabharata saga.
Who’s saying that? Some Brahmins?
People have spun so many legends around him that the truth is buried under layers of myth. He’s basically a legend at this point.
Who actually turned some historical figure into all those legends and superstitions used to build up Krishna? 🤷
Nothing existed before Gutenberg; similarly, we won't exist in three or five thousand years because someone will claim we aren't saved on some digital drive... for instance,
bluebison47 said:but his strongest argument is claiming he learned to ski in just two weeks 😲😲 give me a break
I've been running since before I could walk, and it didn't take a miracle to get going. Usain Bolt, your sport (and those records of yours) don't mean a thing here. ☕☕
In a sensationalist headline, they claimed he said he mastered skiing in only two weeks. But anyone who actually watched the statement on Fox would see the truth. Vlašić literally said, "I learned to ski in two weeks, it's just a question of *how* I learned to ski." When you compare the Fox promo to his actual words, the discrepancy is glaring. It’s just another example of media distortion and us jumping on every bandwagon. Honestly, everyone lies.
I suspect that Joško and Gips possess more integrity and lack the tribalistic, primitive tendencies found in many of us posting here. We others just pretend to be the hardworking, honest types, don't we?
I caught a FOX promo yesterday where they claimed Joško learned to ski in just two weeks. They ran it as this massive headline, acting like it was breaking news. So, I tuned into the actual segment to see what the fuss was about. It barely lasted two minutes, and sure enough, Joško mentions learning to ski in two weeks—though the context of *how* he actually learned is completely different from the teaser. The media loves to slice and dice a story to fit a narrative. You really can't take much at face value anymore.
Both are undoubtedly exceptional coaches, but speculating on their personal characters is foolish for those of us who don't know them. One can only observe that they have both produced elite athletes; now, each follows his own path, driven by ego just like the rest of us. As for the media, they'll say whatever gets clicks,
True power is when you read conflicting opinions on a forum and realize you don't need to engage. There is no necessity to argue or defend your position when you understand that everything eventually settles itself; that is true power.
