The idea that there are "secret prodigies" walking the earth actually goes back the Friedrich Nietzsche's "Man and Superman," in which he argued
that the next step in human development was a breed of superhumans.
The term he actually used in German was "Mensch und Uebermensch."
This was the concept that the Nazis latched onto, claiming that the Overmen were a new breed of racially pure prodigies, who put the needs of the
(aryan) race above their own needs. A real crowd-pleaser.
Honestly, the parallels between descriptions of "Indigo children" and horoscopes is pretty obvious.
It all appeals to the needs of young preople to feel special and unique, despite the fact that they haven't achieved anything yet.
It is always a laugh to see someone tell me "I am a highly advanced, spiritual person." And then go on to tell me about their mood swings, their
fits of rage, and their failures in school and love.
You know what?
My spiritual advancement has been paid for in sweat and blood. I have struggled long and hard to master my lusts and fears, my egotistical whims and
prejudices. I will let other people decide for themselves whether I am "spiritually advanced" or not.
It also kills me to see this new agey-ness that revels in titles. It reminds me of dungeons and dragons: "You're ONLY an indigo child? Well, I'm
an 11th level mage, and Adeptus Exemptus in the New Church of Crowleyanity!, and a thirty-FOURTH degree Welsh Rite Mason!!!!"
All of which entitles you to look down on the mere humans who are getting the good-paying jobs and dating the really hot chicks, right?
Cactus hit the nail right on the head. "Group consciousness" was never advocated by any spiritual leader worth his salt. They all adovcated group
action---not "welcome, you are so special. You're one of us. Now join the group by drinking this coolaid and eating the magic pudding."


Sorry to offend. Now you know what it's like for people to judge you because of your label: Gay, Christian, Muslim, Senior Citizen, athiest,
soldier, sailor, indian chief. And no one thinks you are worthy of the title except you.
