Bill,

When she was 5days old I looked into her eyes and knew my teacher was before
me. I had no idea of what an Indigo child was then - 1983.  I did diapers,
food, driving etc., and I had to figure out what she was teaching me.
Learned lots about thinking.  Learned lots about scope of the human
potential. Sometimes, many times, actually most times I was still locked in
the 'conditioning' of the 60's.  Some things I caught, some I missed.  She
can think circles around me - and leave me in the dust.  Ironically I leave
some people in the dust, or as been said - not so POPULAR - so I guess all
is fair ...  Oh well... That's how it is.

Your an indigo aren't you?

Christine,  This is a wonderful post.  When and how did you catch on to the
Indigo child awareness.

... Looking back, every time I caught a cold, there was something I didn't
want to do or thought that it 'should be' difficult...or just needed a
reason to lay about for a while.
Realizing that doesn't always stop me from doing it.
Sometimes an injury, health difficulty or just a nasty situation that
makes me mad, leads to a discovery that otherwise would have remained
hidden....

My daughter had conscious awareness on this mechanism.  She would say 'Mom I
don't want to go to middle school tomorrow'.  Initially I did the good Mom
thing and tried to control - parroting the line each of us have probably
heard - 'you must go to school'.  She got sick - fever over 100F - 101 to
103F normally.  After a few rounds this she asked if I had 'caught on'.
'Caught on?' I said.
'Don't ya get it?  
'Get what?' I said.
'If I say I don't want to go, I will make my self sick to any standard you
measure sickness by.  It's a bit of a hassle - feeling poopy--- Why can't I
just be honest and make my own decisions instead of going through this
facade to please you and the school?  Mom, it's boring.  They just drone on
- I can make the marks without being there.  Can we get honest at home
instead of playing games of 'should by whose standards' and 'control?'
'Don't you remember me asking how high my temperature had to be before I
stayed home?' 
I had said well over 100F.  Daah..

The indigo children are different and can see through our 'sick sickness
games....'

Then I remembered my own subtle manipulations as a child. As Ode Coyote
says, - there was something I didn't want to do.... Wise words.  Sometimes
when we are in the midst of a 'situation' it is hard to see the forest for
the trees.  Looking back can be effective IF we see the cycle repeating.
Otherwise - take a pill or a prescription... It dulls the senses and once
again covers up the root cause.  Sometimes it's alluring to have comfort.
...or just needed a reason to lay about for a while.  We've all done it.

Sometimes an injury, health difficulty or just a nasty situation that makes
me mad, leads to a discovery that otherwise would have remained hidden....
When I quit my justifications and drama I too discovered gems that would
have remained hidden. My games of recycling bronchitis, pneumonia etc.
finally got tiring to me - It made my allopathic doctor lots of money when I
believed in such things...
