Simply Millennial

Being agnostic, I have found peace in my own non-traditional path of spirituality. Many of my beliefs are centered around the facts about the world that have been proven through science. That being said, I do feel it is important to constantly search for new explanations for how the world works, and to not settle on one school of thought. Because of this, I have become very open to learning about metaphysics and thoughts from the New Age movement.

One theory that has come out of the New Age movement is the notion that since the late 1970s, a new generation of children have been born who are psychically sensitive and spiritually evolved. They are named Indigo Children because of the deep blue aura psychics claim to see around them. These children are now coming into adulthood, and the newer babies are being called the Chrystallines. It is thought that these individuals have an  awakened consciousness, and are being born onto the planet in order to facilitate a “Golden Age” of peace.

Many call metaphysics a psuedo-science, and I can understand the label. After reading the characteristics of what make up these “special” children, I found parallels between ADD and ADHD qualities. Maybe this alleged “awareness,” is more about the influence of the society we live in and how the parents of these children are raising them.

Despite my skepticism, I think what I’ve taken out of the research is the understanding that evolution shouldn’t be limited to uncovering the secrets of our physical progression. I think it’s just as important to realize that we have spiritual and emotional evolution patterns as well. I secretly hope this theory is correct and that a true Golden Age does emerge from the hate and war-filled world we are currently inhabiting.

Do you think you are an Indigo or have a Chrystalline child? For more information visit:
