The Indigo Movie Rant, by Moondancer

I've got an issue with NDW and all those people who write about Indigos, because they don't get it. They aren't Indigos themselves, so they will never truly know what it's about and how it feels. They created "Indigo" for a good cause, but the thing is, the movie gives a very rosy view of it all. How many of us are actually like those kids in the movie? And that grid, what's that all about!? Sure would be cool to communicate like that, but have you ever heard of anyone that actually does that? I had never even heard about it until that movie!

It bothers me that the "Spiritual Maffia" as I like to call them (all the spiritual celebs, like Neale Donald Walsh, Doreen Virtue, Deepak Chopra, James Twyman, etc.), have found something to put on a pedestal. I originally had a rant about this in Swedish, where I made a point in them putting Indigos (and Crystals) on a pedestal, as if to say "oh look, those are the people of the future, like we all should be" as if because we've arrived, their generation can just sit back and let US sort out all THEIR problems, that THEY have created! "Great, you're here to save the Earth, so we can just sit here and admire you and do nothing." I illustrated it quite well with the quote "I'm NOT the Messiah!" from Monty Python's "Life of Brian". (The way that the people see Brian come along, and appoint him to be the Messiah, but he's got no desire to be the Messiah.)

Like I said on IMDb: "Indigos are not some sort of "ubermensch" (supreme being), we're people just like you. Some are dark-haired, some are blonde, some are tall, some are short. We're not superior to anyone else, we just have a slightly different approach to things, but we're just like anyone else. We eat, we drink, we sleep, we go to the toilet, we get colds just like the rest of you. Channelling messages from some supreme enlightened entity in another star system? Never done it in my life, and I don't really feel like I'd want to either." I'm not going to friggin' sort out other peoples problems, I've got enough of 'em myself! If they sort out their own mess, we'll sort out the rest. As long as they have a part in it, and don't just go all starry-eyed on the mention of Indigos or Crystals. It's frustrating.

The movie in itself was watchable, albeit a low-budget production with questionable acting and a questionable script. Good to raise awareness and all, but the thing that struck me was "How can this movie actually be an eye-opener for in-the-closet Indigos?" because there is very little Indigo about it! Instead, you've got this one kid, Gracie, portrayed as a little mini-Messiah with the healing of the old man at the motel and all, and then you for a brief moment meet another kid, whose mother explains to Gracie's granddad about Indigo Children. It takes about 5 minutes, and that's all they talk about the subject.

Sure, a few kids out there might be like Gracie. Emphasis on A FEW. I think what she's capable of is more of a Crystal Child thing, as a lot of Indigos are adult now, and have never been as extreme as her. Sure, we might be intuitive, clever, different and what have you, but to that extent? Like we're being portrayed as Superman or something, but instead we're as superpower-less as Batman! Still not usual, but far from having super powers.

I would've loved to be as rich in gifts as Gracie, as when I was 2-4 years old, my father was ill with cancer. He recovered, however, but if I was like Gracie, I could've healed him before all the trips to the hospital and all that. Things that have scarred us kids mentally and that we still have some issues with. I was too young to understand why my father was suddenly taken away from me (leading to separation issues and stuff - my mum couldn't even close the door to the toilet without me being horribly upset and crying), and the oldest sister knew all too well what was going on, and some years later suffered from depression. Hell, if I was like Gracie, I could've stopped both my grandmums from dying of cancer! But I'm not, and I couldn't. For someone then to try to convince the world and myself that I'm one of those super-kids... it just makes me angry!

I believe in things other people call paranormal or supernatural, I've got a close link with nature (greeting the Four Directions at the age of 10 when sitting in a lake on holiday), prefer to buy organic things and try to stay clear of additives (and sugar) as much as I can, had a crush on Fox Mulder when I was 13, started learning Reiki a little under a year ago, love and have a bit of a bond with cats, but I'm sad to say my psychokinetic powers are non-existant, and my intuition is there, but it's not very fine-tuned. Sure, I've always been different, a bit of a loner, who did well in school, but who could've done better if I'd just put my mind to it (at least that's what my mum kept telling me, but to this day, I'm still not sure what she meant. Well, I suppose I could've spent more time trying to memorise the French words we had for homework every week and all that, but what's the point? School was something I went to because I had to, did pretty much what I was told, but it was just something you had to go through to get to the other side). Not once did I speak on any other net or grid other than the actual Internet. Not once did I see spirit (well, I can't remember if I did when I was a small child, although when asked, mum said that I would have conversations with invisible people). Not once did I cure people from an awful disease.

In EverQuest II, which my fiancé has played, when battling some kind of witch, one of their last phrases was "I hate the reincarnation process!" and I couldn't agree with her more. I think a lot of frustration in life has been waiting to become an adult, waiting for my life to finally start. When being born, you have to wait maybe 18 years or so before you can continue from where you left off, and I don't know about you, but personally, I don't really like waiting...

If the Spiritual Mafia depicts us as a superior being (ubermensch/übermensch as the expression also is), then I wonder if I can go to them and claim those superpowers they say I have because I'm an Indigo...

Love and Light,
