Ok, i respond to all criterias… And so? If I were really an “Indigo” I wouldn’t claim to be part of this category and i’d laugh about the idea itself… Indigo? Who the fuck is indigo? Who am I? Is there an answer? Are we really part of something?
This is a nonsense : the freedom every being is searching for cannot be conquered by exterior meanings. We are already free, what has to be conquered? Indigos is, according to me, just another caterogy to identify with. It just leads to war. We must search truth, and nobody can show us the way. Yes, society is also a nonsense… And so? Changing this society won’t lead to the truth. Only truth revealed into one’s self can lead to a different life. And this is a work that everybody has to do alone, by itself. Exteriors meanings will only lead to war, to a false revolution.
PS: sorry for my english. I’m Italian, and my english is a little bit academic…

As a constructive comment. I love what you’re trying to do here. Create an intention an promote change. The thing is that if you categorize human beings as Indigo, immediately you separate from the rest. Finding a new world is only ONENESS, that means, no one is left out, no one is left behind, includes everyone and everything.
So, Indigo as you are defining them here, are what in psychology defines as Schizoid personality. It’s not a disorder, just a way of being. You define them completely, but you forget the negative part of you. Let me list some of the characteristics:
- Broken heart.
- No self acceptance. Feeling of being fragmented.
- Can be very intelligent in some areas, but others, they seem like a complete lack of intelligence and common sense, so they way of learning is not a usual one.
- Psychic powers. The third eye is developed.
- Hostility, hate, violence, shock.
- Need to belong. (This site is the perfect example)
- Feeling that they are not completely in the body, so many of them have a special ability to dettach from their bodies, like astral journeys.
- Ask a lot of questions.
This info is not to classify people, is to know ourselves better and accept ourselves better.
So, my suggestion: Heal yourself first, find the truth in yourself first, deal with your inner world, because the way you see the world outside (a war, a program, a battleground, a playground, as it is, etc) is the way you see yourself inside. If the world is fragmented, so you are inside. If the world is one, all equal, all heart beats joined, then inside you are one.
I recognize your effort and I will gladly join this wonderful intention. I’m not indigo, but I have evolved (in my perception) in the spiritual world, so as you.
