My viewpoint on Labels

When something is labelled it is far easier to forget the essense. Labelling covers the essense of what is being labelled. Take a "tree" for instance. When you say "tree" the mind finds all the experiences associated with tree. You may have had fun as a child on a tree. You may have fell from a tree and broke a bone. You may remember forest fires or the prez saying we need to thin forests to help trees survive. Whatever your mind comes up with is about personal experiences not about the organism known as tree.

Labels are ways to keep the mind imprisoned. Labels are used to manipulate opinion. If someone comes up with verifiable evidence of something that the powers don't want out, you get a label. The label marginalizes all the effort. In fact, it ignores all the effort and just puts you in a box in other people's minds.

I personally, don't care if people use labels. If it helps then I'm all for it. If it enslaves the mind then I'm against it.

My reasoning against the label "Indigo Children" is several fold. Do remember though this is not against any that call themselves that. Like I said above if it helps the individual I'm for it. I think the label marginalizes the depth of people. I think it plays on the ego. I think it's used to get money out of people that don't feel like they fit in. I think there may be corrupt information coming from the sources that make money from the concept.

I'm unable to debate whether or not there are entities with indigo auras because I don't know. I don't see auras. I do see people struggling with identity and I see sites that take advantage. Not everyone will be able to tell the half-truths that so often get mixed with good messages.

Indigo_Child, I commend you for staying your ground. I understand where you are coming from and I'm in no position to judge you or anyone else. You keep doing what's in your heart. My advise is simply that. My perspective overlayed on someone else's issues. Another's advise will never be completely correct simply because no one knows another completely.

Now, everyone go outside and take a walk. Breathe in the air. Remember where you are. Picture yourself on this huge rock hurtling thru space. Picture the beauty of this planet without labels. The beauty that you could never possibly see in one lifetime. The universe doesn't require labels to keep expanding. Neither do any of us.
