The Indigo Children - An Article
Warning: Some parts of this article may be fabricated, and objects in the rear-view mirror may appear closer than they really are. Viewer discretion is advised.


An ordinary morning. Seven-year-old Rainbow Amethyst Robbins paces around the café, seemingly having great trouble sitting still.

“I'm bored,” he says.

“My teachers are stupid.”

“Katey is such a poo-head,” he says. His mother, Amber Sunshine Smith-Robbins, gives him a loving smile. When asked if little Rainbow is always like this, she just nods.

Rainbow is an Indigo Child.

According to Wendy Chapman, Indigo Children – named so after the colour of their aura – are the current generation being born today, and they are very different and special. They are sensitive, very bright and often rebellious to authority. According to Ms Chapman and other believers, the Indigo's are the next step in human evolution, here to lead us to global understanding and world peace.

More often than not, these children also have special abilities. In the movie Indigo, a young Indigo Child uses her psychic abilities to fight off aliens and paedophiles, in an attempt to keep herself and her grandfather safe. All the while, she cures the sick and steadily takes actions that, in the long run, will guarantee world peace.

(Editor's Note: I haven't actually seen this movie, but I know, from a trustworthy source, that this is the plot to it.)

“I want to leave. Now,” little Rainbow says. To add force to his statement, he starts pulling his mother's sleeve.

“We can't now, honey,” Amber tells him.

“I want to leave now, you stupid whore,” the Indigo Child says, raising his voice.

His mother laughs, but he's already run off again. She shakes her head, smiling affectionately. “He's just so special.”

Many of the believers think that the Columbine shooters were Indigo Children, but they explain. While we may not understand their immediate actions, we need to have faith. These children are guiding us to world peace, and they are so special, we sometimes simply can't understand their reasons.

But in the end, it will turn out it was necessary, even if people had to die for it. In the event of Columbine, the Indigo Children were letting us know the school system needs to be better. They expressed their deep emotions the only way they knew how, by killing off a large number of their classmates.

“Stupid whore,” Rainbow tells the waitress, who looks shocked.

Amber jumps up. “Don't you touch my child,” she says, like a proud mother lion, defending her whelp.

Indigo Children are special, and need to be protected at all times, be it from medical professionals trying to diagnose them with ADD, prescribing them Ritalin, or from irate waitresses at cafés. After all, Rainbow is very sensitive. Who knows how badly the waitress could damage him?

The interview is cut short after this incident, but I manage to ask little Rainbow how he feels about being a special Indigo Child.

“Now I am Death,” he says. “The Destroyer of Worlds.”

This startles me, just for a second, until Amber explains. “We went to see Indiana Jones 4, yesterday.”

Of course, the Indigo Children are also criticised. So-called professional psychologists say, “It's nicer to believe your child is 'special' than to acknowledge there might be something wrong with them, but it's not in their best interest.” Some even go as far as to state, “The Indigo Children are the new breed of psychopaths.”

Others claim the phenomenon is just a result of bad parenting, stating that the parents are simply making it all up as an excuse for having terrible, out-of-control children.

But it's not like that. These children are special, and people are just too blinded by materialism, too bitter to realise something beautiful and deeply spiritual is happening, all around us.

Guiding us to world peace.

Did I already mention, these children are special?
