The Shift, Part 4: The Children

By now you may have heard the terms “Indigo Children”, “Crystal Children”, “Rainbow Children” or “Star Children”. Put simply, these Children are here to help lead the way in this new age, or to help with the transition for those who are scared of it. (For more detailed info, do a search and find what resonates with you.) In my experience, people have had mixed reactions to the concept. Some feel that these Children need our help to acclimate themselves to this planet because they are from somewhere else and this place is new to them. Others say we need their help acclimating, because we have been here too long and are too close to the problems to see the solutions. Some say they are “old souls” while others say they are “new souls”. Some say they are born free of karma, others say that they come from other planets or galaxies. Some want to take them out of public schools so that they can be with others like them, while others say this would be discrimination. Sometimes these Children are wrongfully diagnosed as ADD or ADHD because there is no other way to “officially” classify them, however, this does not mean that every child diagnosed as ADD or ADHD is an Indigo, Crystal, Rainbow or Star Child. Some say that only certain children are born with this potential, others say that all children (all humans, for that matter) have the potential.

Here is a situation that explains the difference. Most children, if told by their parents, that they are worthless, will believe it and live as though it is true. When they are grown up, they will need therapy, and discover that their parents are responsible for everything wrong with their life. An Indigo, Crystal, Rainbow or Star Child, if told by their parents that they are worthless, will lose trust in them, disregard them as parental figures and continue on their mission.

Are all children “special” or just some of them? Every child is special in their own way and every child has the potential to grow up and be whatever they want. But is that what we are talking about? What about the school bully? Is the kid who picks on everyone smaller than him one of the children who is supposed to usher in this new era? What about children who take frog eggs out of a pond and smash them on rocks. Are these the children we are talking about?

Maybe it has nothing to do with behavior. Maybe it’s a genetic mutation like the X-Men. Maybe some children are born with new abilities like telepathy or telekinesis. Maybe instead of (or in addition to), The Children being part of a spiritual awakening, they are the next stage in human evolution. Maybe instead of being afraid of that change, everyone will openly accept it. Maybe instead of seeing them as a new race, which threatens to wipe out the old, everyone will see them as a change made to our own race.

What are your thoughts on these Children?
