Dear Sharyl:

I just now read your articles on this website and they are so insightful!

I am the parent of a 17 year old Indigo (diagnosed ADHD) kid.  I knew he was different from the very beginning.  His brother took 72 hours to be born, he was born in 3!

I have always let him explore anything his ravenous brain found.  He has grown into an incredible "almost" adult, entering college in high school.  He doesn't drink, smoke or indulge in any of the other teenage problems.  But he doesn't feel like he fits in either.

The interesting thing I've noticed about him and other diagnosed ADD kids is that they find their home on the computer.  This machine actually processes information on their level.  The rest of us here are just too slow for them.  It's as though their "hyperactive" brains were specially designed to interact with computers, as I believe this is the way of the future.  My son types faster with two fingers than I type with all 10 (and I type about 70 WPM).  His brain moves even faster.  Playing computer games has been a great exercise for his brain.  He built his own computer and updates it all the time.  And this is all self taught.

Just wanted to share this bit of info with you.  I say, give them all a computer!

Further letters from Georgia:

I think what these kids need is a forum of their own, where they can create and process  and learn in their own way. Schools need to adapt to them, not drug them.  These kids are our future.  I do think ultimately it's a tactile path, whether on the computer or with the artist's brush.  They simply cannot sit in a classroom for endless hours listening to information being spouted by their teacher.  My son has done best in situations where he was physically involved in the process.

Here is a good story about him.  When he was in first grade, I volunteered to help his class with their pre-testing work (the school was giving a state mandated test).  They had to do some practice exercises.  As I went around the classroom, all the kids were having trouble completing the test.  I glanced over at Greg, who was annoying the boy next to him.  When I looked at his test, he had completed it CORRECTLY within a few minutes of receiving it!  So, being a very bored little boy, he was doing his supposed "ADHD" thing on the kid next to him.

Don't get me wrong; Greg doesn't get A's.  I noticed on one of his progress reports that all he had were 100s and 0s.  Nothing in between.  It seemed that every time he took a test, he got a 100, but he never did his homework, no matter what we did,  and got zeros.  He'd much rather be on his computer.

At his high school they have a program whereby he can take college credits while still in high school.  He is thrilled to be taking computer courses!  He has no friends in his new school.  He says all they think about are drugs, sex and drink.  I have to admit, I was prepared to deal with drugs, sex and drink issues, not this!!!!  His only friends are two other ADHD kids, one who is supposedly "retarded" and on medication, and the other is in the delinquent high school in his town.  Both are computer geniuses.  Greg is a very handsome, tall young man that girls have always been attracted to by the way.  He doesn't look like a typical "nerd"!

I am a Reiki Master and was recently doing a Reiki healing on a friend of mine.  Her 16 month old grandaughter was in the room.  As she saw me doing the hands on healing on her grandmother, she stopped playing and came over to us and began to put her hands on too, looking very intent.  I intuitively knew that she completely understood what I was doing.  Her mother told me she loves to give massages too.  This is a 16 month old BABY who barely talks yet and just learned to walk a few months ago!

These kids are our future.  They are born spiritual, they are born empathetic, they have an abiding respect for our planet and they are internally constructed to deal with our rapidly changing world.  When I saw that little baby trying to give Reiki to her grandmother, for the first time in my life I had hope for the future of the human race.  That hope lies in these "Indigo", or "Crystal" children.

Thanks for letting me share this information and for writing back. I've never shared much about Greg because the schools and counselors were too intent on labeling him. I guess part of my ability to deal with him is because I see a lot of myself in him.

Dear Sharyl:

I found your writings during an internet search for information on the "psychic children" after being immersed in James Twyman's book on them and reading the messages that he received from Thomas in Bulgaria. Are you familiar with this material?

The primary reason that I am emailing you is to network with you. My Husband and I (both Ph.D.s' and lifelong educators) are redirecting our Professional work and feel called to help these children fulfill their missions by supporting them into adulthood. We are looking for avenues that might lead us in this direction and wonder if you are aware of any one/place where there are others who are actively involved in such work (not just on the internet)?

We are serious people that you can check out on our web site www.weinholds.org. We are also curious about why so many of these children have been identified in Mexico, China, Bulgaria, etc. but not in this country. You might want to look at this web site for more information on this. http://www.inlightimes.com/archives/2001/08-01/f1-super-psychic-children.htm

I would appreciate your thoughts regarding people who are working directly with the psychic/crystal children.

Greetings:

Thanks so much for writing and for finding us. Yes, James' info has brought a lot of people to us, and for that we are grateful. I do not know why most of these children to date have been identified outside of the United States, but my suspicion is that they are here also. In Bulgaria, there happens to be a group of priests who have focused their lives on these children, as you know, so maybe that is part of the reason.

Lee Carroll and Jan Tober, who were the first to have brought the term Indigo Children into the forefront several years ago, are holding a couple of huge, much more mainstream Indigo Conferences soon. One will be in Chicago in May and one will be in Southern California in August. Go to http://www.indigochild.com/ for details. Attending one of these could really connect you to others like yourself.

Now, the other suggestion that I have is to telepathically connect with this grid to which Thomas refers. I have done so as well as connect to the children. When you come into this unity consciousness and you have expressed your willingness and your intent to move in a certain direction, the universe will respond. It is just the way of it!

I personally do not know anyone working directly with the so-called psychic children... you can always write to James. I met him years ago, and he is an absolutely lovely man.

Please stay in touch and let me know what you have found out. I have been too busy in recent days to spend much time on the site (I am a very busy tax accountant right now), but I feel it is time to take the next step with The Children of the New Earth later this spring. We must begin connecting up the dots of those who want to become actively involved.

Hi Sheryl:

My name is Adam. I'm a 21 year old college kid at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Currently I have been spending some time at a website called the Collective Shadow. This last weekend someone posted about indigo children. Well, the post included a long description of indigo children.  In it I saw myself, but, being the eternal skeptic and cynic I also saw pretty much everyone I know.  I know nothing about auras.  My mom says she used to see them when she was young, and she's probably the only person who can comfort me in my current state of complete and utterly terrible confusion (not all the time, but quite often do I feel as such).  I've always been an odd kid, quick to excel at school, especially in mathematics, and I was always expected thereafter to do well.  It did leave me alone much of the time.  At a very young age I was also highly artistically gifted and my parents focused my life on what they deemed 'gifts.' You know the whole story, I'm sure-high school algebra in fifth grade, gifted and talented summer camps at the local private college and whatnot, summers spent at art schools, etc.  But when I got to high school I realized none of the teachers really cared very much.  Actually, it was more that they didn't believe it.  And I took MORE crap because of it.  Here I am in college still to this day with the ability to skip a class a day, study an hour before any test, try about as hard as a carrot and succeed with ease.  I didn't fit in well, couldn't fit in well because I saw past the BS quickly.  There were the jocks and the preps and all those normal folk and I finally found a slight niche in the expressive, artistic, chaotically confused sorts.  You know the type, the hippie/beatnik kids that sat in the grass playing guitar and talking about philosophy.  I'm now a philosophy and math major, but it's been a very bumpy path for my consciousness. 

Perhaps two years ago the title "Indigo kid" would have felt comforting and warm with its description.  Now I am too skeptical to understand anything.  The world seems like a jumble pile of systematized understanding out of fear.  I feel this fear every day, but I don't see a way out of it, just escapes that work for a little bit.  At least until someone comes along and says it's not still perfect and must change again.  I don't understand at all because all I have are feelings, never rational or practical ideas.  Yeah, sure, I can come up with them if need be, but need be is only because someone decided a rational or practical idea need be to begin with.  The fact always remains in the back of my mind, however, that rational and practical are about as good a description for something as is blue.  So, rational and practical never denotes best outside of subjective opinion, or right and wrong for that matter.  I just feel certain ways and live in accordance with the systematize human world at hand. 

So, all this to ask you about Indigo kids.  Because that seems like a rationally practical explanation or even excuse for kats like me.  And I sit here in the mix with the ability to take everything away from an idea or give everything to it, however I feel.  My friend says we should smoke some marijuana.  Well, very often I don't feel like debating the should in the situation because it's something I feel like I should do right then...after all, I like it and it sure as heck mellows me out (lowers my vibration or something like that), calms me down about the confusion, the chaos I endure all day every day.  The old soul bit even fit me before.  I don't feel like an old soul anymore, just like someone here.  Maybe I seem more like an old soul cause I've read more history, more philosophy and all that stuff.  But if someone says we need to rethink the way humanity approaches something as a whole I can skeptically rationalize (using the same process they did) that necessity itself is a rationalization of the subjective desires in the person making the statement of need.  It's easy, and I'll do it whenever, but I never know when I'll do it cause I never pay attention, I just do. 

I used to have songs stuck in my head twenty four hours a day. I haven't heard a song in my mind in years.  Outside all I pay attention to is the ideas floating around. I don't daydream anymore, I'm completely aware.  If someone even so much as glances in my direction form a hundred yards away I'll look up to meet their eyes. Because I'm watching them all with my mind to begin with.  Yet, to me this is being human and nothing more.  This is the experience of almost everyone I currently know with few exceptions.  So, I want to know what is the truth behind the matter?  And how on earth can you be sure? 

I've had freaky dreams, too. One the other day where I spent a few hours with my dad exchanging only looks.  Complete expression with the face and nothing more.  And all that was expressed was that I can do that if I like, communicate with the face and nary a word.  I've always understood my dogs better than people.  Understood their eyes and the expressions involved,  understood their listlessness (as Sarah would put it, heh) and I've understood the elements.  Growing up in the Rockies as a mountaineering youth I would be the one on ever expedition that my partners looked to for confirmation about whether we should continue.  I've been the one to know when storms are coming by the smell and sense. I've been the one to look at a cliff and know we shouldn't do it only to see it give way to a rockslide as we walk away.  Mountain guides say I'm lucky, I have the mountain sense. 

Your webpage says I'm the new evolutionary step, an indigo kid.  And all I wanna know is why did I get picked to be insane?  Why did I get picked to look at them as they say this and wonder how they could mistake their love for science fiction as a trait that will make their life science fiction. It's all a religion, a philosophy, a system.  Either banking on feel/intuitionism or fundamental logic. And all I can say is you can't know, you're just babbling and creating, and it’s wonderful that people do this, I guess, but when you slam such a conviction for a creation at me as though it were such an obscurely abstract concept as truth then I start to worry.  I, too, can create truth, in millions of ways. Doesn't mean there is absolute truth.  Just means I created it to myself.  Perhaps to better function in life as a means to desired ends, perhaps as a part of being human in that we can't help it.  All I know is I look into a person's eyes and wonder only what is going on in their head, cause I know it's nutty, I know it's a creative establishment of truth different than anyone else, and it tears me in two that for most people I meet I'll never know.  Some because I can't, some because they won't let me, and that's the worst part-the people that don't like me trying to figure them out. 

So, I'm a freak, a weirdo, but interesting to many.  But I can't see auras.  I can just put two and two together the way people say it works really well and fast cause the system is simple.  And I can express abstractions in such ways that no one else has heard because I study the abstractions of truth in people.  Does it mean I'm an indigo kid?  Does it mean anything?  Or is it just my, individual personality?

Thank you if you read this far.  I really would like a response, as this settling confusion has me tearing my heart out.

-- Thanks, peace, Adam

How do I know there are Indigos?  How do I know who they are?  That is just it.  I know it, just like you know what is going on in someone's head.  My children are all adults now, but when they were born, I knew they were different, but had nothing to base it on, except my own knowingness and observation as a mother, teacher, etc.  No, they do not all see auras, some read people's energy fields in other ways, like you do.  You don't need to see the aura to know that person, at least as much as they will allow.  Your dog has nothing to hide, so a relationship is much easier than with a human… we are all hiding!!

What makes you think that you are the insane one?  Isn't it possible that the construct of this particular illusion/hologram/ reality is really about insanity?  So walk in the world as if you are sane and and pretend that all is well, that we love one another, that we are not hiding, that we actually choose peace and open communication, etc.  How else are we going to achieve a different world?  You and I have to dream it! We have to walk it, even when it appears that all hell is breaking loose around us.  Even when everything is said to the contrary.  Who picked us to do this almost impossible job?  They say that we picked ourselves, that we thought that we could do this, and we at least wanted the opportunity to try. 

My son Trevor started out in the sciences also, but ended up with a degree in philosophy (almost enough credits for a degree in math and physics).  He did genetic research for a while, abruptly quit, and now teaches mixed martial arts and has started his own clothing line.  It feeds his soul.  He has to do the creative stuff, but he also has to be very physical or he becomes depressed, unbalanced.  He has said for many years that it is all about balance at all times. 

Keep in touch!

-- Love and blessings to you, Sharyl
