While I was on my way to a LIVING THE SECRET meetup yesterday, I picked up BALANCED LIFE conscious choice resource magazine which serves North Central California where my home city,Sacramento is located. I looked through it,and I found Lee Carroll, channel and author The Kryon Writings Series and the Indigo Children Series is going to be at the Christ Unity Church here in Sacramento on March 1, 2009. He is going to be there for an intensive 5 1/2 hour lecture and live channeling.
I decided that I am going to attend it and listen to what he will be saying. Because of his specializing in Indigo Children, I would like to have the opportunity to speak to him about Indigo Children. It was said that he found out about the Indigo Children while channeling a higher dimension being named Kyron. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo_children
Anne Angelheart told me that I am meant to work with the Indigo Children during a soul reading that she gave me. http://www.anneangelheart.com/index.php?page_id=1
Personally, I don't believe in the Indigo Children concept because I don't believe that it applies to a certain generation. I believe that these types have been here since humans first incarnated on our planet. I believe it's a New Age term for neurodivergence(atypical neurological processing). I came to the conclusion after reading Doreen Virtue's book, THE CARE AND FEEDING OF THE INDIGO CHILD. I recognized so many things that have to do with neurodivergence that I am convinced that it's a new age term for it.

I have a blog entry about the book http://people.tribe.net/4b0cf8c4-1fc3-4171-92d3-b0915985bf95/blog/cfba5fe9-246d-4845-aee1-23890b5ad04a
DANDA (Developmental Adult Neuro-Diversity Association) site is a good site to read about neurodivergence in adults. http://www.danda.org.uk/
I can relate to a lot of the Indigo stuff that she talked about in that book. I believe that a lot of New Age,metaphysical practitioners as well as people that believe in New Age,metaphysical things could relate to some of the Indigo stuff too. The existence of highly intelligent,gifted,metaphysically oriented neurodivergent human beings is not a recent phenomena. People who specialize in working with special education needs students are already aware that many neurodivergents are highly intelligent and gifted. I think that many neurodivergents keep metaphysical things to themselves any way just like I have and still do.
There is also a concept called anomalous sensitivity that includes the belief that psychic sensitivity and neurodivergence are strongly connected. This is also similar to the Indigo Children concept.
"An Anomalously Sensitive Person exhibits uncommonly high levels of sensitivity, not only in the emotional realm, but also in the physiological, cognitive, altered states of consciousness and transpersonal ("metaphysical," "paranormal," or "psychic") realms as well. These characteristics are essentially the same characteristics that identify those who, in New Age parlance, are spoken of as "Star Children," "Crystal Children," "Indigo Children," or "Walk Ins." Whatever the label might be, the book "The H.I.S.S. of the A.S.P." is a tribute to these highly sensitive persons." http://www.hissofasp.com/
There is a concept called Overexcitability that seems to be similar to the Indigo concept.
"Overexcitabilities are inborn intensities indicating a heightened ability to respond to stimuli. Found to a greater degree in creative and gifted individuals, overexcitabilities are expressed in increased sensitivity, awareness, and intensity, and represent a real difference in the fabric of life and quality of experience. Dabrowski identified five areas of intensity-Psychomotor, Sensual, Intellectual, Imaginational, and Emotional. A person may possess one or more of these. http://www.sengifted.org/articles_social/Lind_OverexcitabilityAndTheGifted.shtml
There is one book in particular that seems to share similar concepts about the rightbrained,multidimensional,visual,intuitive thought processes of neurodivergents. It is called GIFT OF DYSLEXIA by Ronald D. Davis who is Dyslexic and was diagnosed Autistic. This book is similar to the Indigo Children concept. http://www.amazon.com/Gift-Dyslexia-Ronald-D-Davis/dp/039952293X/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234285860&sr=8-2
Davis Dyslexia Association International http://www.dyslexia.com/
another book that I have which discusses the the thought processes of visual thinkers is UPSIDE BRILLIANCE by Dr. Linda Silverman. Some of the concepts are similar to the Indigo concept. http://www.amazon.com/Upside-Down-Brilliance-Visual-Spatial-Learner/dp/193218600X/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234288371&sr=8-6
Linda Silverman's site http://www.gifteddevelopment.com/Visual_Spatial_Learner/vsl.htm
another book that really goes in depth about the visual thinking of neurodivergents is IN THE MIND'S EYE Eye: Visual Thinkers, Gifted People With Dyslexia and Other Learning Difficulties, Computer Images and the Ironies of Creativity by Thomas G. West http://www.amazon.com/Minds-Eye-Thinkers-Difficulties-Creativity/dp/1573921556/ref=pd_bbs_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234288371&sr=8-5
Of course, people with strong emphasis on the outer planets could probably relate to the Indigo stuff because the outer planets orbit beyond Saturn which is physical boundaries,and so they relate to the metaphysical. I also believe that people with strong emphasis on kuiper belt objects could especially relate to the Indigo stuff because the kuiper belt objects orbit beyond the outerplanets,and so they are more metaphysical. The Centaurs could also factor into it....especially Chiron which I think is connected to special needs that could include special education with its emphasis on being a maverick.
Speaking of maverick, there is a book called
MAVERICK MIND: A Mother's Story of Solving the Mystery of her Unreachable, Unteachable, Silent by Cheri Florance. She writes about her child who was diagnosed as deaf,mute,and autistic,and she didn't accept the diagnoses. She believed that her son's visual thought processes were so advanced that they had shut down his verbal ability. She found techniques that taught Whitney to read, talk, interact with others and function successfully in mainstream classrooms. I read this book too,and I recommend it for any parent who has a child that has special education needs,is counted out,underestimated,and misdiagnosed by so-called specialists. New Age,metaphysical practitioners would probably believe that Whitney is a Crystal which is a term that is applied to metaphysically oriented people that get labeled Autistic. I was autistic-like in early childhood too, and I greatly benefited from early intervention special education therapies that included auditory therapy,speech therapy,phonics,and motor skills therapy. http://www.amazon.com/Maverick-Mind-Mothers-Unreachable-Unteachable/dp/0399530673/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234290801&sr=8-1
Any ways....I am hoping to meet other metaphysically oriented neurodivergents,and listen to their experiences. I definitely will listen to what Lee Carrol has to say with an open mind but make sure that I also have my critical thinking intact as I listen. My t-square of Moon in Pisces in 6th square the opposition of retrograde Saturn in Gemini in 9th oppose Jupiter-Neptune in Sagittarius in 3rd and Mercury in Scorpio in 3rd parallel Neptune in Sagittarius in 3rd contraparallel retrograde Saturn in Gemini in 9th which reflects my ability to be skeptical and engage in critical thinking about metaphysical concepts before I believe in them but also my own natural metaphysical thinking. My 11th harmonic isosceles trapezoid of Mercury,Saturn,Uranus,and Sedna could also indicate that. I believe the configurations that also indicate my neurodivergence Dyslexia,Dyspraxia,ADHD as well as the weaknesses,strengths that are connected to them. Therefore, with the combined metaphysical orientation and neurodivergence,I can strongly relate to the Indigo stuff. Another thing is that these configurations could also be indicators for psychiatric disorders. The symptoms of psychiatric disorders and neurodivergence overlap. For example: disorganization(actions,speaking),directional confusion,poor coordination are symptoms of not only schizophrenia but also the neurodivergent condition Dyspraxia. Please note that not all schizophrenia is about hallucinations and paranoia. There is a disorganized type of schizophrenia which has symptoms that fit with neurodivergent conditions like Dyspraxia. Of course,autism was once thought to be a type of schizophrenia. Now if neurodivergents start talking about metaphysical experiences to psychiatrists that are skeptical of metaphysical things,then they get misdiagnosed as having schizophrenia that involves hallucinations too. Schizotypal personality disorder is another disorder they could misdiagnosed as having.
I believe that there are many neurodivergents that are metaphysically oriented and keep their metaphysical experiences secret from others to avoid psychiatric misdiagnoses of psychotic disorders.
Lee Carroll's site is here http://www.kryon.com/
I checked out the chart of the event.
There is a strong grouping of planets and Node in Aquarius fits with New Age concepts
Mercury-Mars in Aquarius square Sedna(49 and 43 minutes of arc) can be about passion communications about "far out" things as well as talking about metaphysical things as well as channeling which can be conflicting,and require much effort to understand.
Mercury-Mars-Neptune conjunct in Aquarius can be about passionate communications about metaphysical things as well as channeling. Communications could be confusing and/or deceptive, but they could also be inspirational.
Moon in Taurus in 10th square Jupiter-Node in Aquarius seems to be about emotional need to be practical,grounded,sensible with the public which can conflict with optimistic New Age connections,contacts, There is the possibility of bad judgment connected inflated feelings of specialness or grandiosity
Yod of Saturn quincunx the sextile of Mercury-Mars in Aquarius sextile Eris in Aries seems like there could be some skepticism about divergent views with the opportunity to revise and adjust one's perception of reality. There could be grounded perceptions of neurodiversity.
Sun and Uranus in Pisces fits with the strong emphasis on the metaphysical.
Sun in Pisces in 8th sextile Moon in Taurus in 10th seems good for expressing metaphysical matters with a blend of practicalness with the public.
Neptune in Aquarius in 7th sextile Midheaven indicates the mystical,unconventional objectives of this lecture.
