THE PEOPLE OF THE INDIGO RAY, or the Blue Ones, have been on this planet for a while, but have not manifested in such great numbers for a very long time. There has always been a random sprinkling of Indigos in the population in all generations, but these people were fairly rare before the final third of the Twentieth Century. Indigos have been with us since the dawn of
time, and many have contributed much to our advancement- some were famous, many were not. All were unique and gifted.
The current heavy surge of Indigo Children arrivals have manifested in five distinct and discernable decants or generations of one decade each. Each generation has distinguishing characteristics,
auric veils, and Awakening/Saturn’s Return years.
Generation One (Alpha): Born between 1958-1968. Born with blue-green-violet overlays, camouflaged with tans. Saturn’s Return/Awakening years for this generation were 1986-1996. (Age 28 for each year.) This generation is now in their Post Awakening years, and is in the process of rediscovering and recovering their Gifts. Some are currently transiting into their
Octarine phase.
Generation Two (Beta): Born between 1968-1978: This generation also came in with the blue-green-violet overlay, but without the tan camouflage. The Saturn’s Return/Awakening years for this generation were 1996-2006. This generation is also Post-Awakening.
Generation Three (Gamma): Born between 1978-1988: Here is the first generation of minimally overlaid Indigos. If they have an overlay at all, it is generally violet, with some appearances of
Crystal/Octarine. This is where some of the earliest manifestations of apparent ADD and ADHD in Indigo children began. Saturn’s Return/Awakening for this generation will be from 2006-2016.
Generation Four (Delta): 1988-1998: The first of the ‘pure’ Indigos with no color overlay at all- only the highly chameleonic Crystal/Octarine. These are the ‘wildest’ of the apparent ADD/ADHD group, and Guidance states that it is possible that it is the rapid-fire overstimulation by the public media of this time acting on the crystal overlay that is driving the Indigo child to distraction. Suggestions of the use of slower rhythms and deep, warm colors in their environment, rather than the use of drugs, may stop these ‘oscillations’ that make them ping off the walls, and give the Crystal/Octarine element in their overlays something to use for grounding. This will also soothe the Indigo child when he/she is overstimulated by the noisy, flashy environment. It will also make their transition into adolescence smoother- this group will have the hardest puberty, and, if not carefully monitored, the highest drug/alcohol and suicide rate of all the cohorts. For this group, Saturn’s Return/Awakening will be from 2016-2026.
Generation Five (Omega): 1998-2008: According to my Guidance, this will be the last decade of pure Indigos, and the end of the major cohorts. They may have as many difficulties in
acclimitizing themselves to the environment as the Delta generation, and depending upon the local conditions, may have an extremely difficult childhood. Many of these Indigos will be born of earlier Indigos, and some will be reincarnations of Alpha and Beta generation Indigos who chose to leave early.
Depending upon local conditions, this generation will experience its Saturn’s Return/Awakening from 2026-2036. Other elements may speed up or back off the time table. The number of people of the Indigo ray will drop off sharply during this generation. They will still be born, but not as frequently.
If you are a Beta generation Indigo Children , on the verge of or are presently in the midst of your Saturn’s Return period, this guidance should help you. It is very rare to see a fully Awakened person under the age of thirty. For Indigos, this difficult time serves to strip away the overlays and camouflage, and reveal to them their true potential and psychic capabilities. The transitory period for an Indigo is generally longer than that of a normal person- sometimes up to three years. Indigo Children may feel totally naked without their overlays, and if they do not understand what is happening to them, they may panic and think they’re going mad. Careful direction, close peer contact, and compassionate guidance is essential during these vulnerable times. You will make it, and wonders will await you on the other side of this passage.
A note: These dates and generations aren't set in concrete. If you were born before 'Alpha', that doesn't diminish your status at all. There were just fewer of you around. There will always
be Indigo Childrens in the population, but sometimes there are more than other times.

New human race of indigo children appears on Earth
NewHhuman Race of Indigo Children appears on Earth
Indigo children's immune system is several thousand times stronger than that of an average human being. A pretty little girl who lives deep in the heart of Latgaglia (Latvia) enjoys talking. She talks nonchalantly about her nightly travels across the Universe in an astral body. Her father is quick to make a request: “Please pay no attention to what she is talking about, she just loves making things up.”
The father is not surprised to find out that his daughter has been aware of the notion of astral since she was five. He appreciates his child very much, though. He always uses a tip from the girl while repairing his old tractor. “I do not know how she does it but she is always in the know what is wrong with the machine,” says he. Well, the story looks familiar. There is another case of an indigo child, a phenomenon that has become pretty ordinary lately.
The year 2012 has special significance for the indigo children. According to predictions of the Maya, the so-called “Great Transition” will be taking place in 2012 after the Sun and Earth form
a straight line pointing to the center of the Galaxy. The above position will trigger the demise of the 3-D model of the world. The earth dwellers will be given the opportunity to live in a 4-D world. But the offer applies only to those whose mind has expanded to an essentially new level - the indigo children.
Take a closer look at your offspring. Researchers claim that 95% of children born after 1994 are the indigo children. The fascinating adjective derives from the color of an aura around their bodies. The internal organs of these children have different functions, their immune systems is several times stronger than that of an average person. The children also have a different kind of DNA, a mutation kind. In other words, as regards the changes in DNA, millions of residents of planet Earth are not humans. A race of new beings is slowly but surely climbing the stage.
You might as well be an indigo boy or girl because the indigo phenomenon started at the beginning of the 1990s. But you can not conjure up a miracle or two or see through the walls. It is okay since miracles do not feed the indigo powers. The people endowed with the gift for indigo are smart in a special practical way. They may recall how they handpicked their parents long before the latter conceived them. They may start teaching their parents some simple biblical truths like why you should worry about money for you are always going to have as much money as you need if you stop thinking about it. The children of the new race aim at reaching out to
spiritual heights.
The indigo children may go wild like reckless thugs or behave like quiet angel-like creatures. One thing is clear. Their psychological characteristics and behavioral patters are new and unusual. Therefore, new methods of education should be developed and applied. You can not just ignore the needs of the new generation otherwise precious little creatures will suffer from mental instability and disturbed thinking. You should bear in mind that they are the pioneers who kicked off a new era and therefore they need our support.
A well-known mystic Drunwalo Melchisedek maintains that a DNA mutation in the modern children has been caused by a specific reaction generated by our emotional and mental bodies. It is the reaction of a wavelike variety irradiated by our body. The new life-saving information lies in the subconscious of our planet. In other words, it is available to everybody. The spreading of the indigo is an amazing phenomenon occurring right before our eyes. Anybody who is aware of the impact of mental power can follow the road signs made by the indigo children. The ancient prophesy about children leading humankind to salvation is coming true.
Full immunity against the diseases will be one of the “side effects” caused by miraculous changes. All in all, the day when every child will be a indigo children or child of prodigy is near.

Indigo Spirit
The anatomy of the Indigo Spirit is by far the most complicated part of these souls. They are highly evolving human beings who have a universal knowledge of how things work and what is expected of them.
This section does not cover the total profile of the Indigo Spirit but attempts to help you find your way through the mysteries of the Indigo. The basic suggestions I make when dealing with their spiritual side is to practice: respect, understanding, patience and love.
When Indigo Children enter a class space for the first time they inspect it, not unlike other students. But the Indigo also registers in his/her soul and body the energy of the space and will let you know if they are uncomfortable in there or not. They are able to tell if something negative happened in the last class that was in the room. The best way to manage their fears or questions is to answer them as honestly and straightforward as possible.
The Indigo children is not only perceptive but intuitive enough to understand when someone has an ulterior motive. Many are gifted with the ability to "read" people. Therefore, it is not a wise thing to try and convince an Indigo child to do something they will not want to do.
An example of the above insight involves their intuition and mutual respect: Some of my Indigo children in my poetry class asked if I was going to a school function for Seniors. I did not want to give the honest answer but finally gave in because I knew anything less was dishonest. I said,"Since you asked me in a straight-forward way, then I will tell you the truth. No, I am not going because I do not like the way some kids' feelings get hurt at these events." End of discussion. Next evening the student who had asked the question had her feelings hurt very deeply at the event. It was not a teaching moment for me but an experience that I think she will always remember.
They do not respond readily to guilt trips, absolute authority, or peer pressure that is without integrity. It is integrity that must be included in every conversation, lesson plan, note or everyday comment. The Indigo children appreciates the honor you give when teaching them with integrity.

Indigo Children: Fact or Fiction?
Indigo Children: Fact or Fiction?
by PMH Atwater, L.H.D.
The new age children have been variously described of late as Indigos (because of the supposed color of their auras), Star Kids (because of their purported origination from other worlds), Crystals (because some say they are highly developed), and so forth. None of these claims hold up to the degree that they are made when subjected to objective research, whether via scientific bservation or by the study of mystical/esoteric traditions or through a summary of visionary revelations.
Professionals in the field of child development and education, parents, even the Indigo children themselves, are having problems with the idea that certain character traits are the sole province of special youngsters when, in fact, the vast majority of today's children match those same traits – without evidencing anything like a purple aura, or being a hybrid from another planet, or possessing "god-like" wisdom. Being supersensitive, confident, highly intelligent, unusually creative, nonconformist, extraordinarily psychic and spiritually aware, impatient, empathic, able to heal or aid others in significant ways, abstracting at young ages, spatial learners, great at problem-solving yet difficult to parent or educate – these characteristics and many more are typical to the broad span of today's youth worldwide and has been since around 1982.
Present-day school systems were not designed to educate these indigo children, nor are teachers prepared to handle their "differences." Chief among these "differences" is the surprising array of what some people call "learning disorders." The therapeutic crowd, having finally caught on that labels don't work, simply refers to such youngsters as "quirky kids" with "quirks." Annimac (an Australian life coach and futurist) noted that these children actually "multi-code" from "multi-channels." The kids themselves just laugh and say: "We're reordered, not disordered."
The labeling fad so popular now began in the late seventies when several psychics started talking about the numbers of children they saw who had purple auras. They named them "Indigos." This was followed in 1999 by the success of Lee Carroll's and Jan Tober's
book, The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived (Hay House, Carlsbad, CA). Their success spawned a cottage-industry of books, tapes, toys, clothes, and gadgets, which ballooned out-of-portion by media hype used to promote the idea of "world indigo day" and "indigo revolution" so indigo films would sell. Currently, it is almost impossible to get a book published about the uniqueness of our newest generation without the word "indigo" in the title. This happened to me with my book Beyond the Indigo Children (Inner Traditions/Bear, Rochester, VT), and with Edgar Cayce on the Indigo Children by Peggy Day and Susan Gale – when it is well-known that Cayce never said a thing about "indigos."
I believe that most of the people who started this craze meant well. They were psychically gifted people who noticed something unusual about the children around them and claimed that what they were seeing was widespread. What was widespread were the traits and characteristics they saw, not the aura color of indigo. The result was an incomplete model that confuses even the most sincere.
Unfortunately, well meaning is not enough to validate observations, especially one as important as what I suspect is happening here - a quantum leap in the evolution of the human species. More research is needed – much more. Terming the latest in scientific findings as proof that "Indigos" have arrived is an exaggeration of truth, not an honoring of it. What served initially
to alert the general population about the very real fact that today's children are indeed different, is now a hindrance. This is why so many audiences are applauding when I invite them to drop the labels and just call our children "new" because they are.
Actually, Edgar Cayce's readings are a good place to start a brief exploration of esoteric wisdoms. In one reading, for instance, he targeted the years 1998 to 2010 as the period when the Fifth Root Race, our next evolutionary advancement as a species, would be fully underway. Mystical traditions (loosely referred to as "mystery school teachings"), mention the altering of the lifestream whereby new "waves" of souls can come forth. The term "root race" is an old one,
going back to ancient Vedic teachings, and refers to species-wide, evolutionary mutations, our gene pool as humans. . . not to genetic subgroups. These traditions have it that there are seven major root races in God's Plan to perfect human form on Earth, and that each advancement occurs during major cyclic changes in the earthplane. The Fifth Root Race, the one over-spreading the globe now, is associated with the vibratory frequency of blue (in these teachings, indigo is associated with the Sixth Root Race).
Each calendar-keeping measure or legendary prediction adhered to by native peoples, including Mayan Calendar interpretations, indicates that the Fifth World (fifth cosmic cycle) is well underway and that the human species not only is moving into its fifth "wave" of existence – but is accelerating or ascending into higher and more refined aspects of this wave. According to the research I have done, Fifth Root Race types of people started showing up during the time of
Jesus (a few rare souls), were more numerous with each historical renaissance, came in greater numbers from the mid-1800s through 1920 or so, then pushed forward rather noticeably between the 1960s and 1970s. Yet it wasn't until around 1982 that the flood-tide of today
began (a major cycle in fulfillment) True Indigos or Sixth Root Race types piggy-backed the Blues in the 1800s and have been entering the earthplane ever since – in enough numbers to spice the mix – but not in the massive numbers of births that some people claim (give them
another couple hundred years or so).
We are told that there have always been a scattering of advanced beings alive on Earth who, like "spark-plugs," either uplifted humankind or demonstrated new ideas of what is possible. In that
sense, all seven root races, perhaps others besides, have intermingled the cyclic time periods of great change on Earth. Each root race, as tradition has it, changes the body type, intelligence
level, spiritual awareness, and creative capacity present in the human family. And it's happening now. Our new children, irrespective of aura colors or what they seem representative of, are challenging us in ways we've never been challenged before.
I invite all of you to make room for this notion in your mind and in your life, at least to the extent that you free our children from the exclusivity of the categories they have been boxed into. Toss the labels. Our kids don't need them. What they need are guidance, discipline, lots of love, and parents wise enough to listen before assuming anything.... are Indigo Children a fact?

The Indigo Body
The Indigo Body is like any other human body. However what differentiates the Indigo children from other souls are their eyes and overall neurological makeup. Shakespeare wrote that, "the eyes are the windows of the soul", which is very true for Indigo children.
They know how to look or stare at you and also learn what you are about in a few seconds. Furthermore, among many Indigos there is a large population of them diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). However one should realize that not all Indigos are ADD/ADHD nor all those diagnosed with ADD/ADHD considered Indigos. You can have one without the other.
The Indigo student learns with their whole body. Many Indigos are tactile learners and they process energy levels and new information through their hands. Often their body movements give them away; hands on eveyrthing, constantly touching and feeling. The tactile stimulation also engages the other modes of learning in auditory and visual areas of the brain.
What to do with a student fidgeting and handling everything and everyone?
As the teacher or parent, allow the Indigo to move around, touch, feel squeeze objects. Also, remind the Indigo Children of appropriate boundaries, theirs and others. Make available items for them to touch, such as stuffed animals, puzzles, squeeze balls, etc. I have a small supply of puzzles that require problem-solving and tactile movement and designed for one person only, stocked in my classroom. MindWareonline.com has a great selection of puzzles for the classroom that will keep their busy hands occupied. The high energy level in an Indigo body has to move on or become engaged in some activity.
Another issue with the Indigo body is how to get their attention when they are doing something. They are not deaf but their whole body and mind is engaged in whatever they do, especially if they are problem-solving or trying to make something with their hands. It is futile to try and give directions when they are engaged like this, therefore, save your energy. Instead tap them lightly on their shoulder or arm and verbal directions can now be given.
Maintaining the health of the Indigo children body is a major concern for all involved. There is western medicine, western foods and nutritional standards versus eastern medicine which is replete with many alternatives and seemingly cultural differences.
In the western medicine scenario, the Indigo is often diagnosed through a battery of tests, given a prescribed medication and told to eat a healthy diet. Compliance to the medicine is considered very important and soon enough the Indigo is having symptoms related to the medicines they have been given. More medicine is then prescribed. Meanwhile the Indigo body is getting run down, and this once beautiful soul is sick and very depressed. Yet western medicine is excellent for treating major issues in the body like heart failure, cancer and pneumonia. But the issues for the Indigo body are different.
These Indigo children convert energy from food very fast. They can consume large amounts of junk food that is highly processed, high fat levels, high sugar levels and still appear healthy. In fact, they are sensitive to sugar, dyes and additives, all found in junk food. The same old tune is sung here: a diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, whole grain and very little meat would actually help the Indigo maintain a healthy metabolism.
Blue-green algae, close-up
A usage of a new "superfood", Klamath Lake: Blue Green Algae has shown to make dramatic health changes for users. It is pure brain food. It is a natural food harvested from Klamath Lake in Oregon. It does not contain preservatives, artificial dyes or flavor modifiers. What it does contain is protein and carbohydrates that work to stabilize the user's blood sugar levels, also free from toxins and supplies beta-carotene and vitamin B12.
The following websites will provide more in-depth information on the usage of blue-green algae in your Indigo's Children diet:Cell Tech and Klamath Lake. However, please check with your physician before embarking on the use of dietary supplements. They may have information that will further inform you. Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitue
endorsement or recommendation of use.In the eastern medicine scenario, one may look at several healing therapies that will help bring balance to the Indigo's mind, body and spirit. Eastern medicine also uses a host of alternative therapies like accupuncture, massage therapy, yoga, herbal treatments and aromatherapy.
A recognized therapy is Reiki (Ray-key), a natural healing energy, channeled into the person through a Reiki practitioner or Reiki Master. Reiki has been practiced for over 2,000 years and in recent years has grown very popular. What Reiki does is help balance the chakras of the person. Chakras are the wheels of energy located in every person. If a chakra is blocked then the energy will not come through and also help the other chakras. A reiki session will help to release the block in the chakra and is non-invasive, gentle and often soothing for the Indigo body and spirit. Its increased popularity leads one to believe that Reiki has a special place for our evolving
generation of Indigo Children.

Working with the mind of an Indigo children is an exercise in judgement, timing and impeccable integrity that builds trust between the teacher and the student, and the parent and their child. The suggestions listed below are good teaching practices but also include the student's participation in the decision-making, that surrounds their own learning.
* Try not to impose your own agenda on the Indigo children because that is how it has always been done. These children will perceive quickly a worn out method.
*Be flexible and ready to change lesson plans. Trust your instincts that flexibility is more useful than rigid plans. The focus is still the completion of the goal but resist the method of only
teaching to complete the pre-set goal. There may be other things to learn along the way.
*Talk everything over with the Indigo children. Begin when they are small babies and continue including them in your conversations as they get older. They like to verbalize also. Getting them invested in their education will also set guidelines for them. If they are not convinced about what is being discussed, then ask them what they would change to achieve the objective. Using this strategy will help them meet the challenge head-on!
* Computer activities can be absorbing, educational and also time-consuming. The Indigo Conceptual will lead you in the computer with their intuitive skills yet may not have clear boundaries in regards to ethics and copyright laws. This is a teaching moment for teacher and student. The computer is a tool and a medium of expression that most Indigo childrens have readily embraced. Parents can profit most by:
1. "Selling" time or bartering with their children for computer usage.
2. Planning websites by students made for their family, for a teacher or for informational usage. 3. Allowing the Indigo children to research on computers.
4. Establishing boundaries for appropriate usage of the Internet.
* Establish positive expectations and guidelines for each indigo children ; a class can also do this as a group activity. Leave out the "do nots" in the expectations. The Indigo Mind will appreciate the positive approach.
* I often ask my indigo children when we begin a new semester what they want to get out of the class. If they have no answer, I explain what is offered and ask them what appeals to them. Sounds like a tedious process but eventually we all agree on what they are going to learn
that semester. It is similar to asking your child what they want on their sandwich, they actually participate in the decision-making process.
*Interaction with animals, art, music, drama, nature, even the martial arts will instill in the young and old Indigo children a bond with the outside world that helps them to construct a reality based on what they already know. All books and computers may not help to recharge the sensitive Indigo mind.
* Cater to the student's learning style and mutiple intelligences and not yours. Many of my Indigo children are verbal/visual learners with diagnosed ADD and ADHD. I am a global learner: visual, verbal, and tactile. Occassionally my learning style compliments that of my students. There are several websites that explain in more detail about learning styles and multiple intellgences and how to distinguish them. I recommend that parents and teachers explore these
sites and work with these concepts on their students. It is my opinion, that ALL learners should know their personal learning style. A highly informative and useful site that will also have links to other sites regarding learning styles and multiple intelligences is The Education Coalition
*For very young Indigo children show them an example of a possible outcome for projects or richly describe the final outcome. Allow these young learners to experiment and even get frustrated but try not to impose your beliefs on them early in the process. If allowed to try their own methods, new methods of thinking and design may emerge. Before the young Indigos or any young student are completely frustrated, suggest a change of pace and remind them that there will be a tomorrow. Do not let the Indigo children feel that they are completely blocked by their frustrated endeavors. They will appreciate your honoring their boundaries and limitiations.
*For older Indigo children, present the scenario and proposed outcome. Provide the guidelines and training and allow the Indigo student room to experiment, fail and finalize their processes. It has been my experience with technology, that more than one method will achieve the final outcome. Encourage the Indigo children to show you what they created.
*The assessment of Indigo student schoolwork or any other product of the student, should meet the teacher's proposed outcomes. However, if it does not, give the Indigo children a chance to explain their process upon completion. Often they like showing off how something was made instead of the final product. When the product does not meet the proposed outcome guidelines, invest the time in finding out. Chances are the student stumbled across something of great personal interest and did not move along fast enough.

Children of the New Millennium
Children of the New Millennium
No other generation of record matches the Indigo children now arriving on the Earth plane. Noted historians, William Strauss and Neil Howe, authors of Generations: The History of America’s Future, 1584 to 2069 (William Morrow, New York City, 1991), put this into perspective for those of us in the US by identifying the children born between 1982 and around 2003 as the nation’s fourteenth or “millennial generation” – the most wanted, nurtured, and educated group of individuals we’ve ever produced, and the most protected by law. Unusually smart and assertive, these youngsters are as creative and intuitive as they are computer literate.
Not confined to the US, this emergence of new kids is truly global, as this observation from Mexican pediatrician, Ibarra Chavez, attests: “The new crop of infants are coming in more aware... eyes focused and alert, necks strong, lying in bassinets no bigger than chickens, and with a knowing-ness I cannot describe [in Spanish or English]. Sharon Begley, author of the Newsweek magazine article entitled “The IQ Puzzle” (May 6, 1996), describes the situation this way: “IQ scores throughout the developed world have soared dramatically since the tests were introduced in the early years of this [the 20th] century... The rise is so sharp that it implies that the average school child today is as bright as the near-geniuses of yesteryear.”
The gene pool cannot change fast enough to account for this leap, so we can’t claim genetics as causal. Test scores rose only slightly in the area of rote schooling, so education isn’t the cause either. Trying to make sense of the situation, experts have surmised young people today are simply better at taking tests – or – maybe it’s because they’re better nourished, or have larger vocabularies (thanks to permissive parenting), or play a lot of video games (which demand concentration before response).
This means the Indigo children are natural “creative problem solvers.” Yet in the area of genius, once ranked with scores between 134 to 136 points (some say 140), a preponderance of today’s youth regularly test out at 150 to 160; many over 184. The anomaly in IQ scores immediately caught my eye because it exactly reflected what I was finding with child experiencers of near-death states. The more sources I studied, the more professionals I interviewed, the more confident I became that humankind’s long predicted quantum leap in evolution was happening right now, and on several fronts: kids being born “different,” and children “changed” either because of an intensely powerful life event or from an encounter with the “power punch” that best describes the impact of a near-death or otherworldly experience.
Although research of the near-death phenomenon didn’t begin until 1978 , began the tracking the impact of consciousness transformations, especially with children, back in 1966. Five books cover the findings from research: Coming Back To Life, Beyond The Light, Future Memory, Children Of The New Millennium, and The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Near-Death Experiences [Editor’s Note: P.M.H. Atwater’s Children of the New Millennium has just been republished under the title The New Children and Near-Death Experiences.
Let’s explore this issue, at least to the extent that we can here, by identifying various traits and characteristics being noticed in these newcomers, and then let’s discuss the critical issue of timing.
Many people are aware of the discoveries made by authors Lee Carroll and Jan Tober that are detailed in their book The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived. Drunvalo Melchizedek, a self-realised mystic, echoed many of Tappe’s observations during an interview he had with Diane Cooper about “Children of the New Dream,” held on
Gordon-Michael Scallion, a psychic futurist and prophet, has for several years spoken of the Indigo children who resonate to the blue vibration, detailing his insights in Notes From The Cosmos (Matrix Institute, West Chesterfield, NH, 1997). To identify the new ones, he looks for: cat-like eyes that can readily adjust to differences in lighting and colours; vision that is both physical and non-physical; communication and language versatility; a bluish tint to the skin or the presence of blue around them; heightened body sensitivity/digestion; increased longevity – maybe up to 200 years of age. He feels the colour vibrations of blue, indigo, and violet will take on great importance throughout the third millennium.
Children of the New Millennium examines the near-death phenomenon from the child experiencer’s viewpoint and, in so doing, turns upside down some of our pet notions not only about near-death states, but about the power of major transformational events to change individuals both psychologically and physiologically.
The younger the child the greater the effect – perhaps because the “power punch” experienced (above and beyond any imagery, visitations, or lights) can happen during critical junctures in brain development. Some characteristics displayed afterward:
- Faculties enhanced, altered, or experienced in multiples 77%
- Mind works differently – highly creative and inventive 84%
- Significant enhancement of intellect 68%
- Mind tested at genius level (no genetic markers to account for this) – Main group, overall figure (from birth to 15 years of age) 48%
- Subgroup, those under the age of 6, 81%
- Drawn to and highly proficient in math/science/history 93%
- Professionally employed in math/science/history careers later on 25%
- Unusually gifted with languages 35%
- Experience in school – Easier after near-death episode 34%
- Harder afterward or blocked from memory 66%
Example: A young boy halfway through the first grade drowned, had a near-death episode, revived, then returned to school once recovered. The most oft-repeated phrase child experiencers said to me was, “I felt like an adult in a child’s body.” Although adult experiencers usually become more child-like afterward, I have noticed that kids are just the opposite – they come back more mature.
Years of discussing my findings with scientists, physicians, educators, and parents, have convinced me that near-death states are evolutionary by nature, and their evolutionary aspects are the most readily apparent in child experiencers. For the young, shifts of this magnitude constitute what appears to be a “second birth.” Elements Of a Second Birth
• Those hardly born can undergo a second birth.
• Temporal lobe expansion in the brain can precede or accelerate normal development.
• The basic learning curve can reverse itself, placing abstract conceptualising before foundational understanding.
• IQ enhancements and faculty extensions can accompany heightened spatial/nonverbal/sensory-dynamic thinking, giving rise to uniquely creative problem-solving skills.
• An awareness of future that emerges can clarify the Earth world of time and space by engendering “rehearsals” – that provide for advance preparation in meeting life demands.
• Shifts in the brain can jump-start the engine of evolution, enabling the individual to adapt to ever-changing needs and pressures of his or her internal and external environments.
• Shifts in spiritual awareness can redirect attitudes/behaviours toward social justice and moral integrity, as compassion replaces the obsessions that drive greed.
• The higher mind can surface from the developing higher brain – as structural, chemical, and functional changes in the brain couple with a realignment of the heart to produce a brain shift/spirit shift.
In making this statement, I want to recognise the research of experts in the field of giftedness, who work with children who are “different.” Sound familiar? Children are twice as likely to experience a near-death state as an adult when faced with a life-threatening situation. Thanks to high technology, greater numbers of these kids are being resuscitated... the vast majority of which return “rewired and reconfigured” for... high technology.
Coincidence? Today’s children are either being born this way or becoming this way. Society, quite literally, is being provided with the very citizens it needs to people the emerging global village, and exactly on time. The famous American psychic Edgar Cayce supplied a strong, albeit brief, indication of this timing in, when he said:
“With the storehouse, or record house (where the records are still to be uncovered), there is a chamber or passage from the right forepaw [of the Sphinx] to this entrance of the record chamber, or record tomb. (
The indication given was that a major evolutionary event had to happen before anyone could be “readied” to find this chamber, and that event, along with Earth changes, was the coming of the fifth root race. Timing, as stated previously by Cayce in other readings, covered the years between 1998 and 2010.
Cayce was never queried as to what the term “root races” meant. Who was given that this should be a record of man’s experiences in this root race? For that is the period covered by the prophecies in the pyramid. This was given to Ra and Hermes in that period during the reign of Araaraart when there were many who sought to bring to man a better understanding of the close relationship between the Creative Forces and that created, between man and man, and man and his Maker.”
You expect a new root race. You must prepare food for their bodies as well as their minds and their spiritual development.” Other visionaries and psychics before him did use the phrase, and to describe species-wide mutations or advancements in the human family (“root” referring to “foundational” or “root stock”). Among such esoteric understandings of root races was the one established by the Theosophical Society during the early 1920s. C.W. Leadbeater wrote at length about such changes or leaps in the development and refinement of humankind in his book The Masters and The Path (Theosophical Publishing House, Madras, India, 1925), as did Lieut.-Colonel Arthur E. Powell in The Solar System (same publisher and place, 1930).
The Theosophical material focused on the evolution of the human species as part of a scheme of seven great races called root races that would facilitate each global period of adjustment for new growth and change on our planet. Powell says: “Each of these Root-Races, or stages of development, is divided into seven sub-races, or seven sub-stages; and again each sub-race is further divided into seven smaller units, variously known as branch-races, or nations.”
The advancements Leadbeater and Powell discussed were identified as:
• First Root Race – Etheric (spirit first entering matter)
• Second Root Race – Hyperborean (early physical forms, mostly in the northern climes)
• Third – Lemurian (movement to southern regions, introduction of darker skins)
• Fourth – Atlantean (lands now lying beneath the
• Fifth – Aryan (global leap in our overall refinement as a species)
• Sixth – Unnamed (the future occupants of a new continent predicted to appear in the
• And the Seventh Root Race – Unnamed (said to be the last stage of our development in human form on the Earth plane).
The esoteric traditions I have studied emphasise each advancement of foundational root races was for the purpose of developing a major chakra (energy vortex or energy “generator”) in the species at large, with the end goal being a total of seven. As advancements accelerated over the span of ages, certain individuals and select environments stood out as being more receptive or conducive to the process than others (hence our historical progression of masters and paradises). Further claimed is that, eventually, everyone, everywhere, will possess all seven fully open, active, and balanced energy spirals (chakras) that join the head with the heart, heaven with Earth, spirit with matter, so the created can rejoin the Creator as conscious Co-Creators in the Divine Plan.
If you summarise the various esoteric teachings of root races, acknowledging each stage of advancement was said to describe the opening up and development of a given chakra or pattern of energy, beginning with the first or primary chakra (base embodiment) and culminating with the refinement of the seventh (spiritual attainment), it would look something like that displayed in the chart on page 30 (colours signify vibrational frequencies).
According to this chart, the root race Cayce spoke of would come under the purview of the blue vibration. I hasten to add that all of the esoteric teachings about root races cautioned it took thousands of years for the process of advancing from one stage to the next to unfold, and that numerous stages and steps were necessary before each major shift could occur.
With this in mind, there is every reason to suspect the fifth root race energy may have first entered the Earth plane as early as the time of Jesus (when the fourth was gaining in momentum), but did not attain any appreciable numbers until the European Renaissance between the 14th to 17th centuries. From the late 1800s and continuing to the present, however, an outpouring of exceptional magnitude has and still sweeps the globe – an outpouring of channeled and visionary guidance, coupled with the unprecedented choice we as individuals and as a society must make between war and peace (“power over” or “power to” – the dominant issue for fifth chakra balance).
This growing fervour heralds what I believe to be the ascension of the fifth root race energy pattern – a “birth” in the sense that we can now recognise what is occurring. (The full effect of an energy pattern does not take place until its existence is acknowledged by enough minds to bring it into mass consciousness.)
As fifth chakra energy reaches a crescendo, the challenges of discernment and the desire to access a greater wisdom and a higher form of knowing may well become goals of major proportions. I have no doubt that sixth root race types are now entering the Earth plane – since root races overlap each other during waxing and waning periods – but not in the numbers some people claim. Remember, it takes thousands of years for any given root race to spread worldwide.
Cayce’s timing, though, for the “entrance” or “birth” of the fifth root race (its true “ascendancy of critical mass” in terms of population) covers a time-span concluding very close to the end-date of the Mayan calendar,
Additionally, of the child experiencers I interviewed from 1978 to the present time, roughly 15% spoke of being here “for the changes.” They were explicit in their descriptions of a time when the Earth and its people would need them – a time when they themselves would be parents or grandparents (depending on age when interviewed). Right along, the kids disagreed with their adult peers. Finally I did some calculations, the difference between their age at interview and the descriptions they offered of that future time of great need. To understand the significance of this period, Strauss and Howe ask us to recall the parallel eras of the Glorious Revolution, the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Great Depression, and World War II. We can foresee a full range of possible outcomes, from stirring achievement to apocalyptic tragedy.”
The dominant issue for fifth chakra balance is “power over” or “power to” plus the development of wisdom. Based on my own research, I project that 90% of the world’s population will be fifth root race types, in place and ready, by the early years of the Fifth Sun. The indigo children, already “spicing the mix,” will provide needed encouragement and inspiration. But the balancing agent, the muscle, will come from us “blues.” Sociologist Paul Ray, vice president of the San Francisco-based market research firm American Lives, Inc., labels a growing faction of society as Creative Intuitives. These people, as a group, support and engage in: community-based economics and regional trade, revitalised main streets, amateur theatre, open workspaces, small-scale sustainable developments with Internet capacity, the uniqueness of place and history and the importance of neighbourhoods, handmade objects over mechanical or plastic ones, homes that fit into natural landscapes complete with herb gardens, restoration and recycling, pilgrimages to sacred and holy places in place of commercial resort vacations, gender equality, lifelong commitment to growth and learning and the exchange of ideas, loving and committed relationships, citizenship that is global as well as national, community volunteerism, civic responsibility, spiritual development as an essential component to a healthy life, and personal awakenings to spirit realms and the power of Source.
If ever there was a meaningful description of ascended fifth root race energy patterning, it is the one that emerges from this survey – a description exactly matching the average near-death experiencer, anyone who has undergone or who is in the process of undergoing a transformation of consciousness, and those who by choice and intention choose the holistic approach to living and lifestyles. Ray categorises the Cultural Creatives as a renaissance culture that blends modernism with traditionalism, East with West, and is about 44 million strong or 25% of the [
The New Thought Movement is poised to become the majority mindset.
