Survivalism 101: A beginner's guide! in Spirituality · Jul 12, 2018

So, I ran into someone on a forum whose friend of a friend actually rents out caves for meditation retreats up in the Himalayas. To be specific, there are two caves available—one even has running water. 😁

John Mitchell7 said::-) :-) :-) :-)

My apologies :-) I see your point and actually agree; I used to think the same way myself. :-) When I mentioned passivity, I was thinking more about environmental issues and the greater good. :-) We all talk endlessly about tonnage and impact, and I’m right there with you, but in reality, we aren't doing much.

As for the second part of your comment regarding filing a formal complaint—I'm with you on that one. :-):-D
Consider me your resident provocateur; ;-) my goal is just to nudge you a little further.

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.

Christians already had Jesus God, but apparently, that wasn't enough, so they're waiting for his second coming (we've actually had a thread on this for 15 years—Warning before the second coming of Jesus Christ).
Muslims likely expect paradise on Earth the moment everyone converts to Islam.
Hindus are waiting for their avatars (though people don't usually treat those with such apocalyptic urgency).
New Agers are waiting for Maitreya, and Benjamin Creme has been stringing them along for over 40 years (there's even been a thread on this for over a decade—The final phase of Maitreya's public emergence).
Alternative theorists are looking for aliens, Nibiru, or density shifts coming from the direction of Sirius (Ascension is in full swing).
When I first got into TM about 35 years ago, they kept talking about the Age of Enlightenment, which—surprise, surprise—still hasn't arrived.

Scientists, meanwhile, are working on fusion and interplanetary travel—which, compared to everything else mentioned above, is actually grounded in reality, even if it doesn't guarantee we won't accidentally blow ourselves up along the way.

It all boils down to a kind of "youthful" optimism—this deep-seated desire for something massive to happen during our lifetimes.
Personally, instead of all these *deus ex machina* prophecies, I’d much rather see a handful of politicians, religious leaders, and scientists who are actually powerful, smart, and compassionate enough to step up. You know, people capable of reigning in global mega-corporations, curbing nationalism, stopping religious wars, and halting the poisoning of the planet with industrial waste, plastic, and radioactive junk.

As for children, the priority should be preventing the physical, sexual, and psychological abuse that is still far too common.
Educational approaches are already shifting in many developed nations—ranging from the freedom found at Summerhill, to Montessori, Waldorf schools, and even experimental methods like multi-age classrooms and self-directed learning used in places like Sweden or Switzerland—and it has nothing to do with "indigo children," just basic societal needs.
But honestly? As long as industry needs qualified screws, the school system will keep churning them out.

I’ve read about Summerhill; it sounds like a brilliant concept. Now I’m reading "The Last Child in the Woods," which discusses how disconnected children are from nature today... they don't "run wild" the way we used to. I was actually shocked a few days ago when I saw some unprotected blackberries growing in a sort of little park near some apartment buildings; there are definitely kids living there, and yet nobody even thought to pick them. It's crazy.

I used to pick everything, not just in parks or woods, but in people's yards too. I even once snuck into what I thought was the Russian Embassy, getting all mixed up thinking I was in some spy movie. Sometimes I'd go with friends, sometimes alone, but that was my main hobby... climbing trees and stealing fruit. The old ways of playing soldier were a bit out of style by then, so we were more like Billy's sport crew—using an overgrown yew bush as our spaceship. It might have been a hundred years old, I don't know... we called it a "tree," but it didn't look like a typical one; it grew upwards with these incredibly long, spreading branches, one very close to the ground, really flexible... it was our launchpad. You'd grab for a top branch, while jumping slightly on the lower one you were standing on... it was always dark under there, even in the summer, with so many branches for climbing; we hung out there like little monkeys. I even figured out that the berries could be used as soap when I washed my hands in a puddle. I absolutely loved that tree/bush. That's where I used to contemplate whether God existed. In church, they said He did; in the encyclopedia, it said religion was very similar to superstition. So, I had to think it through. It lasted a long time; I had some truly deep thoughts back then, right there...

Back then, things felt completely different. It wasn't just one big Linden tree; I actually found out much later that it was three separate trees all fused together. Climbing it was a real struggle—you almost always needed a hand to get up there—but once you finally hauled yourself to the top, there was this perfect little nook to settle into. You’d just lie there, staring up through the branches at the sky, breathing in that sweet scent and getting lost in thought. Just dreaming, over and over.

A lightning strike took that tree down when I was sixteen. I remember crying my eyes out over it. Once they cleared away the remains of the old trunk, they planted three new saplings right where it used to be. As for the Yew tree, there isn't a trace left, as if it never even existed. That part really confused me at first—why would anyone go through the trouble of cutting it down? But since we all had the internet back then, I did some digging on Google... yew tree... poisonous, incredibly toxic. Even the vapors on hot summer days can act as mild hallucinogens. It's dangerous for kids. Still, none of us ever had any issues; we all knew better than to eat the berries (I knew the pit was the real poison, though I kept that to myself—the berries themselves are actually quite sweet). People would trip here and there, scrape a knee or something, but nothing serious ever happened. Not for decades. People used to tell stories, though. There was this boy who lived across from the park who was missing an eye. His brother had hit him with an air rifle by accident while they were playing. But guns are fine; it's the trees that are dangerous. 🙄

Shamanic vibes are everywhere now—especially in places like NYC—but I wonder if they split into political factions or if they all just stay centered and volunteer for the public good?! 🤔

There are all kinds of them out there. Personally, I volunteer. Sometimes, when I find a couple of bucks lying on the street, I know the latest shipment made it to the right address. But more often than not, I just get a feeling that everything is alright.

wearyrider16 said:Are you a Starseed too?

What brought you to Earth?

"Starseeds" made a conscious choice to descend spiritually from incredibly high vibration levels (the 6th, 7th, or even higher) to leave behind the peace and security of the Pleiades. They chose to incarnate as human beings in the 3rd or 4th dimension with a specific goal: helping humanity raise its spiritual vibrations, fostering global unity and peace, repairing the environmental damage we've caused, and introducing new, elevated ways to live an angelic, spiritual lifestyle.
Unfortunately, right at the moment of reincarnation on Earth (Gaia), we get hit with this veil of amnesia. We basically forget who we really are and why we even showed up!
Most Starseeds have forgotten their mission, but once they start remembering, their lives become a huge inspiration to everyone around them.

Fixing the environment???
wtf.
They'll write just about anything.

I'm not sure why that whole environmental thing caught you so off guard. There's plenty of tech being developed that’s supposed to fix things, but personally, I've got other plans. What did you think? Why do you think I got so obsessed with shamanism? 😁

mistyscout2 said:I ran into someone the other day. StarseedsSo, he mentioned that he’s from Sirius and that’s where he’s heading after he passes away—or something along those lines. I decided to poke at the logic a bit and asked him if his soul was non-material. He said yeah, it is. Then I pointed out, "But Sirius is material." He kind of brushed it off, saying something like, "Yeah, but there's a non-material side to it there too." I wasn't quite satisfied, so I pushed a little further, asking why we even bother focusing on Sirius through our telescopes and physical perception if that's the case. Honestly, he just looked pretty confused by it all; he reminded me a bit of how Jehovah's Witnesses act when you hit them with a counter-question. I once ran into some Jehovah's Witnesses who practically bolted the second I started questioning their logic.

Honestly, it isn't all that complicated. Let's assume we all have souls—non-material and invisible. The soul incarnates into an Earthly body, and after death, it goes somewhere else. Maybe it spends some time (or forever) wandering through these non-material realms, or maybe it reincarnates back into an Earthly body or something else entirely. If your acquaintance's soul incarnated on Sirius first and spent most of its lives there, then you could say he's from Sirius. Things get a little messy when you factor in densities. From what I've gathered, rocks are in the first density, animals and plants in the second, and humans in the third. The fourth density is the mental dimension (thoughts), and the fifth relates to the soul. All of these can exist in the same place at the same time, much like it works here on Earth. To add another layer, there's the whole anticipation surrounding 'The event'—this wave of energy supposed to come from the galactic center (which we can't see with telescopes because it's spiritual) to shift the entire Earth into the fourth or fifth density. Again, the third density is expected to stay put so that the souls currently among us can reach their natural end there, since right now, only those resonating with the fourth or fifth density are being born. Makes sense, right? 🤣

Then you also have the fact that you can communicate with extraterrestrials from higher densities in various ways. We touched on these topics in, goodness knows where, Philosophy. You know, channeling and all that. There are certain charts out there claiming which planet or constellation hosts beings of which density, but those categories aren't set in stone; they vary from author to author. Channeled materials can also be contradictory, so we're dealing with a very complex and quite fluid cosmology.

I don't have direct info on all of this. I only found out I was a Starseed by taking some silly online quiz. A few years ago, I met a woman who started channeling back during the war and even started a committee to welcome aliens. She didn't really want to talk about it because she feels a bit embarrassed around her relatives now; she says it all started as a reaction to the crisis at the time. Nowadays, she just sells Himalayan salt or something.

casualtiger2 said:Honestly, dear, it’s all just one big delusion.

If we actually have subtle bodies and energy centers—which is possible—then some people probably managed to "see" and describe them ages ago. You can find those descriptions in ancient Tantric texts, like Sat-Chakra-Nirupan and Panduka-Panchak, which John Woodroff (also known as Arthur Avalon) translated with commentary under the title "serpent power."

Fast forward about 100 years, and the Theosophists started making these things popular, whether they were just copying old notes or seeing them firsthand. For instance, C. W. Leadbeater claims in his book "Man Visible and Invisible"—he even includes pictures—that blue and indigo aura colors point toward religiosity, idealism, and high spiritual development.

And then there’s today—the era where old wine is sold in fancy new bottles. It’s all about the packaging. Or, as the old saying goes, "all glitter, no substance."
As much as I appreciate the New Age movement as a symptom of breaking free from rigid, outdated religious and social structures, I really can't stand this commercialized, rainbow-colored approach to spirituality. That includes all this talk about "indigo crystal children"—though sometimes I genuinely wonder if these kids are actually made of glass.

Just like there’s no "royal road" in mathematics, there isn't one in spirituality either.
Our job is simply to get to know ourselves fully and to understand others. If seeing aura colors becomes an evolutionary necessity for us, then we’ll see them when we see them.
Not before, not after. Until then, it might be better to keep our eyes fixed on actual Earthly matters.

Specifically, if you're looking for ways to become clairvoyant, there are plenty of "expert" books out there. Steiner recommends certain exercises, the Theosophists do too, and you can probably find a ton of these modern rehashes designed to convince you that you can see these things—as if, once you can talk to God, why not add a few visual hallucinations to the mix?
Some people say drugs help, though personally, I'm against that route.

PS
Totally off-topic, but I saw two massive posters today that said "Trust in God," signed by the Bible.
It blew my mind—like I was suddenly realizing it for the first time—just how many people try to interpret themselves as something abstract when they haven't the slightest clue what they're talking about.
In this case, even color wouldn't help me make sense of it. 😍

Thanks for this, it was really informative! 👍

Clairvoyance isn't even on my radar. Honestly, I already see way too much stuff I’d rather not deal with, and now I'm terrified I might accidentally develop telepathy. Can you imagine what a nightmare that would be? Just walking down a street in Chicago and hearing someone's inner monologue like, "Man, I ate a whole pound of lamb for dinner last night." Total chaos. $23I saw bones... cats... gnawing... lamb meat... my neighbor... breasts... breasts... breasts... now just multiply that by a hundred while you're sitting there on the subway. It’s a total disaster. 🤦

I’ve been looking into aura colors lately, mostly just trying to find some kind of way to categorize myself within these spiritual frameworks. To be honest, everything I’ve read so far has felt pretty contradictory. It always seemed like the results shifted depending on my mood or whatever emotional state I was in at the moment. Plus, when you look at those visual diagrams, the emotional body looks like this incredibly colorful, swirling mess.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter—the more I strip away all those external influences, repetitive patterns, and general mental clutter, the more clearly I can actually "see" my true self. It’s like I’m finally perceiving things as they were always meant to be, and how they’ve actually been all along; the picture is just getting less blurry.

I’ll be honest, abstract spiritual concepts aren't really my thing—I don't have a clue what "God" is actually supposed to be, nor am I even trying to wrap my head around it. I find the Tao much more relatable, and honestly, old-school pagan gods feel more my speed too. If we're being real, the whole industry was commercialized long before the New Age movement ever showed up, and now it's just exploding because everything has become a commodity. It feels like we need some kind of consumer protection law for this stuff—maybe a catalog of different spiritual paths that shows how well certain directions align with specific personality types, the total cost involved, the expected outcomes, whether there's a money-back guarantee on your resources... since everything is out in the open anyway, at least let the merchants be honest about the price. Until we get that level of transparency, my personal rule of thumb is pretty simple: "this feels good" or "this doesn't." I know, it sounds shallow and it probably stops me from ever fully committing to anything, but I just don't have the energy for another round of experimenting with this or that, knowing how these things usually end in disappointment.

casualtiger2, it's good to see you back here!

Since you're basically our resident expert on auras, subtle bodies, and all that good stuff... where exactly would this "indigo" color (or any other specific hue) be located? And how can someone actually detect it, besides just taking some silly little tests?

People who live for drama are always going to find it, even where it doesn't exist.

Just get your act together and you'll see the world isn't actually broken. Sure, we don't exactly live in a society that's spiritually tuned in, but who cares? At the end of the day, all we ever really experience is our own reaction to things anyway. It's all on us. Everything is fine, and honestly, it's a pretty sweet time to be making some real progress.

The whole "indigo child" thing is dead and gone.

That’s exactly it—don't mess with it or try to force anything, otherwise things could go south fast. I don't technically test as an Indigo on those assessments, though I definitely see myself in many of the descriptions. I usually just categorize it as "hypersensitivity + past trauma = feeling out of sync."

Once you learn to manage your own internal reactions, the world becomes a much more pleasant place to be. And progress happens even faster now since we have the internet at our fingertips.

wearyrider16 said:That’s just how this place is... the constant sniping and petty jabs follow us everywhere. But hey, that’s life. Take it for what it is.

I started this thread for a few reasons...

1. This stuff fascinates me. I find myself connecting much more with these spiritual "codes" than with the standard clinical labels used in psychiatry.

2. Looking back, my childhood fits the whole indigo profile perfectly. It wasn't until I grew up that I actually recognized it in myself and felt the need to bring it up.

3. I’m big on energy psychology. Someone who knows way more about this than I do told me long before I ever joined this forum that the color indigo dominates my space—which, according to several authors, is a classic sign of an indigo child.

4. When people like you mock us or act sarcastically, acting like we're just trying to sound smart or claiming we're "too sensitive" or "unadaptable"... it honestly just proves your point. It shows you can't grasp what we're talking about, which confirms that people like us really do exist and struggle.

It’s a burden, you know? Not a blessing. At least, that’s how it feels to me right now.
Here’s how I see things. You can live with it or not, in a world where everyone is constantly playing games and making fun of others.

Honestly, I wish my daily grind was less stressful. I wish I didn't always notice things that everyone else seems to miss. And don't even get me started on family dynamics, social circles, or how broken our societal systems are... let's just say I don't feel like I belong here.
This isn't my planet.
A lot of people say they struggle too, but they don't deal with symptoms or perceptions as intense as mine. They somehow manage to balance it all.

It’s a miracle I’m even functioning, especially after losing my sister to suicide about two years ago. A part of me just vanished. It was the trigger that set off this massive wave of pain and grief, leaving me feeling lost in my everyday life.

I’ve never been one to quit. I’ve always fought, gathered my strength, and pushed forward through whatever crap life threw at me... but lately, I’m just exhausted.

This forum is the only place where I can be real.
That’s why I make time for it. It means a lot to me, especially because of the people here who come with the same intentions I do.

Look, don't lose your cool. People here believe in karma, the Kabbalah, Kundalini... they believe writing notes in a bottle protects them from curses, or that we're surrounded by invisible aliens pulling the strings of fate. They believe in those F-codes, in gods with elephant heads, unicorns, dragons, and dwarves.

All of it is equally valid fodder for mockery because none of it can be seen, felt, or touched. Beliefs are like bad smells—everyone has them, but everyone thinks their own doesn't stink. And the angrier you get, the bigger of a target you become for trolls. If you don't like a post, just scroll past. If someone specifically gets under your skin, hit the ignore button. You don't owe anyone an explanation for what you believe.

I'm gonna try to track down that book from the link. 👍
So you were multicolored? Some "experts"—the kind who claim they see auras—told me I could be blue through violet, but now... I probably need to get tested again.

I don't remember my exact results, and frankly, I don't have the energy to go through the tests all over again right now. Besides, other tests I've taken give me these really strange readings... I can't recall which site it was, but the colors were based on chakras, and I ended up with almost identical scores for the 'red ray' and the 'violet ray.' It didn't seem like a standard aura reading; it felt more like it was about souls or reincarnation or something along those lines. Since those two colors are on opposite ends of the spectrum, it makes no sense to me. I'm also struggling to find someone who actually sees this stuff without being a total fraud... I'm not even sure how much I believe in any of it anymore. 😵

Betty Patel172 said: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.🙄

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?
