People often ask me ‘What is an Indigo?’ Even though it is a common question, and natural to wonder, the question itself shows how little we actually understand of Indigos; it is actually converse to how Indigos communicate and think. Indigos take the commonly understood quotients and push beyond them, not seek to define, reduce and categorize them by what is already known. Indigos utilize commonly held ideas but transmute them into new conditions, unbound by the confines of previous understandings and beliefs. So then, the question is not so much, ‘What is an Indigo?’, it is more accurately, ‘How do you be Indigo?’ For any discussion of Indigos, it helps to recognize the difference between these questions.
The truth is, one is not born an Indigo, rather we are each born with the potential to embody the perspective of the the Indigo. However, most of us have this innate inkling quickly removed from us through authority and indoctrination. We are trained and conditioned to become institutionalized individuals, naysayers, dependent on authority, who accept what already is and fear what is not.
