In the 1990 film Problem Child, starring the late John Ritter and the never-tiresome Gilbert Gottfried, Ritter’s character, a pleasant wanna-be family man , adopts a 7 year-old boy, “Junior,” with the hopes of raising a chip-off-the-old-block son. Instead, Junior turns out to be an incorrigible brat who wreaks havoc on everything he comes across. Junior’s kooky antics result in much hilarity, and in the end, everyone learns a lesson about the importance of family and love. We see that Junior was just a lonely boy who needed a caring father to set him straight. Everybody has probably met a “Junior” at some point. Unlike the movie, however, in real life these children often need more than the guiding hand of a father or mother. Nowadays, a child like Junior would be diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or maybe even autism. If Junior were a real person in 2006, he would likely be taking Ritalin, Dexedrine, or other medication to even out his moods.
As it turns out, however, both the movie and the medical establishment are wrong. All of our approaches to dealing with these seemingly uncontrollable tots – be it spankings, “time out,” or medication – are incorrect, because these children are not problem children at all. In fact, they are here to save us. So put down your bible, hang up your torah, or set aside your Quran, and find yourself a child who drives everyone nuts – find your own “Junior.” He has come to show you the path to “a new world consciousness,” if you are willing to see it.
Dubbed “Indigo Children” due to their deep blue aura, these children are here to, as one prominent website endorsed by model Jenny McCarthy (who has a “crystal child” of her own) puts it, “…help create a whole new paradigm, where we live in a world of integrity, compassion and unity.” Indigo Children are “Spiritual Warriors,” who have “…Universal wisdom, Divine knowledge and a clear vision of perfection.” To put it in plain, layman’s terms, they are Light Beings who have been born to guide us to a new level of evolution.
You may be asking yourself: how do I know if I my child is an Indigo Child? There are several ways of identifying Indigo Children. The most obvious way would be to simply look at their aura. If it’s Indigo, then you have an Indigo Child! But for those of you without an aural spectrometer ($99.99 at Macy’s), there are indirect ways of knowing. Indigo Children were born between the 1970’s and the 1990’s, except for the ones who weren’t. Some traits of Indigo Children include resentment of authority, impatience for discipline and rules, “an almost regal sense of entitlement,” and having lots of energy. Indigo Children are so advanced compared to everyone else that they frequently act with aggression, anger, and destruction. Conversely, they may also become withdrawn, depressed, and introverted. In other words, if you have a well-behaved, well-balanced child with few emotional or psychological problems, he/she is definitely not an Indigo Child, and does not have any special connection with the divine. However, if your child is a constant pain in the neck, frequently gets in trouble or starts fights, and/or acts like the world revolves around him/her, you are very likely dealing with a super-enlightened being.
Another textbook sign of an Indigo Child is his/her attitude toward education. Unlike regular children who look forward to learning world history and long division, Indigos think school is a complete waste of time, and would prefer not to go. But don’t worry: they aren’t being lazy. Rather, Indigos have “a newer, and more advanced version of education” which is part of their blueprint to change the world. Websurdity has conducted an informal study of this new education system. As best as we can tell, it involves large amounts of candy and soda, and a Playstation 2. Sources also indicated that many Indigo Children are attempting to upgrade their curriculum to include the X-Box 360 and the Nintendo Wii.
If, after reading this article, you find that your child is an Indigo, Websurdity recommends several actions for you to take to encourage your child’s gift. The first thing you need to do is to change your own way of thinking. Remember: your child may be 5, 7, or 10 years old in Earth-years, but his/her soul possesses more wisdom than you can imagine. Your child is here to show you, and the world, the path to enlightenment. You may be his/her parent biologically, but your child knows more than you do, due to his/her connection with the “God-source.” As such, we submit that rather than attempting to force your child to conform to societal norms, you ought to indulge his/her behavior in order to nurture the gift – even if you don’t understand it. As one website writes, “The more open-minded you are, the more you support your Indigo’s free spirit. They usually know what they need.” For example, you may not think your child needs every Barbie Doll at Toys R’ Us, or a $150 pair of Nike shoes that he/she will grow out of in a couple of months. Your instinct might be to say “No.” But think of it this way: who the hell do you think you are? Do you have a connection with the God-source? If not, then I suggest you buy the damn shoes and smile while doing it. The Indigo Children will tell you what they need. “No” is not a word that advanced spiritual beings like to hear.
Websurdity would like to take a moment to honor the world’s Indigo Children, wherever they are. Being aware of your unique spiritual gifts, I would like to extend my invitation for you to cut in front of me in line, spill your drinks on me, and kick the back of my seat on airplanes or busses. Whatever is necessary to help you with your divine spiritual quest, I am at your disposal. God bless.
