Indigo children and adults! Rainbow, crystal, starseed, diamond children! The evolution of DNA! The new children!

Is all of this really new? If one takes a look at ancient cultures such as the traditional native way of life in the Americas or the aborigine culture, it is clear that this is not a new thing, but rather an awakening to a way of life that is ancient to others.

The awakening has not been a smooth one! Ever since it began with the observation that many spiritual people had the color of indigo (the color of the third eye) in their auras, defining this way of life has been a challenge. This simple definition of being spiritually connected has morphed into a series of personality characteristics such as found in DSM, with only one or two relating to being spiritual. As people, in general, are difficult when they are able to see past the facades of others, indigo came to be synonymous with difficult children. As the awareness increases in regards to the natures of intuitive children, more and more explanations are being offered.

What are these observations about? It is simply that people are intuitive. What I would like people to consider is that the “new” children are not new at all, but rather, with the increasing acceptance of people’s differences that began in the 1960’s, parents are not asking their children to conform as much as in the past. Instead, they are accepting and nurturing their child to be the individual that s/he is.

This means that instead of teaching children to forget their spiritual roots, parents are allowing these connections to exist, even encouraging them. The children are responding! How can they do otherwise? Everyone has a soul, and being intuitive is simply a matter of being connected to our soul selves which, in turn, are connected to that which is in all things, or Spirit. It is the natural way to live.

Before the Europeans came and decimated the native spiritual way of life, the native people of the Americas walked this path for thousands of years. Communication with animals and plants, healing, thought to thought communication, and the understanding of the elements were simply a way of life. The men and women who were considered medicine men and women were those who were more connected than most and were selected at an early age to strengthen their connections

Academics certainly has its place in the world. However, research, scientific explanations and the English language in general are extremely lacking as tools to understand intuition. Whereas in the academic world, one must work and try; in the spirit world, one must relax and allow. With the academic world, proof is gathered through the five senses. With the intuitive approach, it is a KNOWING that is simply acquired. Dissection and analysis are the chief tools in the academic world. Being one with the subject is the way of the world of spirit. Neither is infallible! Data can be misconstrued or even manipulated. Spiritual impressions are subject to misinterpretations and are negatively influenced by doubt, worry and/or fear. In both worlds, the mind often chooses to recognize what it wants to recognize regardless of what is really there.

Intuition is woven into the fabric of our language with long standing phrases such as gut feeling, got a vibe, got a bad feeling about this, and the like. In poll after poll in America, 75% of the people questioned state they believe in the supernatural. Yet few are willing to say this aloud. Yet is a part of us all to whatever degree we allow. Life would much simpler if we just accepted our innate intuition and learned all the beauty and harmony it can bring us.
