Sounds like a cheaper and less sophisticated version of Scientology.

"I'm an avatar," Dusk said. "I can recognize the four elements of earth, wind, water and fire. The next avatar won't come for 100 years."
Holy shit!
Was he trapped in an iceberg for 100 years?? Is he friends with Katara and Sokka, and is his arch nemesis a firebender named Zuko??

I have known Jaired Conrad for over 20 years. He obviousely has some serious mental issues, and it looks as though he is potentially raising murderers. The mother needs to get these children back immediately and Jaired needs psychiatric help ASAP!

I think this article, while interesting, makes it easier to argue over who can prove what, then it helps in illuminating the really intriguing points of this movement. Who *cares* if it's true or not. Proof is in the action that fuels the theory. Really, more interestingly than the concepts, the names, and the suppositions (and hucksters, there are always those), are the underlying implications for our society. Clearly, as we develop these notions about who and what we are, we're saying several things:
a) We want a change - something absolutely, positively miraculous. We will no longer settle for election day promises, or good will fundraisers - we want something BIG.
b) There are enough children and adults fitting into the 'creative', 'gifted', 'empathetic', 'driven to help humanity', & 'ousted or misunderstand by the general public' categories that maybe we need to really analyze if an answer to a) isn't just staring us in the face. Generally, for any popular theory to take root, there is required a certain amount of 'I saw it with my own eyes' to really start the burning. There are truths to be found in any lie. There are *definitely* truths to be found in any story or theory.
Finally, c) If we can agree that a) we need a change, and b) we seem to have a lot smart, ingenious folks around who would like to make a change, that we, as an industrious, evolving race on this fancy planet should c) use our natural resources to address our natural problems. Doesn't it seem like a mild waste of time to anyone else to argue whether or not the kid has "motherfukin superpowers", and maybe say, "Hey, this kid is smart, seems to be extremely capable of either using aforementioned, unprovable psychic powers, or of employing what must be a great wealth of empathy and raw analytical prowess (the good con artists are *always* smart, and always capable of reading you like a book), so we should really try to start adding up both sides of the equation. Let's help our smart(-ass) kids use what they have, let's teach them a solid sense of ethics and morals (and please, oh please, free will), and let's get something done before we pass away, whether we think it will be the first, last, *only* lifetime, or just another one in a fantastic line of cosmic stand-up comedy. So, now, how do we do that-we need to figure it out, 'cause we're not doing it now, and people are starting to find other ways that are less productive. We need to help, not hinder, society as it tries to justify what it is going through - *growing pains*."
So, any ideas?

The "Indigo" craze is a scam. What about other children who are non Indigos? Are they less precious in life?
SCAM

I would just like to say that I was diagnosed as ADD at age 7 and put on medication that I knew, and could feel, was messing around with my head and body.
I stopped taking it aged 10 because of this (mainly it made me jittery and my heart beat faster - though I was told I still needed it...) and at age 14 I was told (after 7 years of $1200 a year on medication) that I 'must have grown out of it'.
I was no different age 14 to I was at age 7.
I was always gifted at school and the reason behind my lack of concentration was boredom.
Yes, I also do believe in Indigo children because I am one.
I am not, however, in agreement in people making money ridiculously off of it (ie. degrees that allow you to teach other Indigoes. (Nor do I agree with people making money off any religious or spiritual belief)
I believe I am Indigo and I do not want to make money off it.
What it means to me is I now feel like I am not alone.
I don't need it to feel accepted or anything like that, but I do not feel isolated and alien.
I am going to keep using my intuition and abilities (powers is totally the wrong word and has been used to hype up the whole idea) to help people, just as I have always done. By going about it quietly, and without asking for recognition or exposure. I don't tell people everywhere about what I am capable of, only myself, my angels and the people I am here to help heal need to know that.
It is fine if you don't believe, nobody is forcing you to, but just because you do not understand it or can't comprehend it, does not mean it does not exist.
I hope you are all blessed.
Peace and light,
Namaste

Er, I believe what John is trying to say is that this kid's only power is being a pint-sized con artist. The powers he claims to possess are actually those of Aang, the main character of a Nickelodeon cartoon called Avatar: The Last Airbender. And of course, the parents just swallow the whole story--which shows that, not only are they trying to rationalize his bad behavior with this "indigo" crap, but they're barely paying any attention to him or his habits anyway!

There are Indigo children but the true ones are not disruptive, arrogant, or in any other way negative. They are the gifted quiet spirits whose wisdom and purity astound and amaze. ADHD is not Indigo.

Here's an insight: Much has been written about disobedient children, but one of the oldest sources of wisdom, Proverbs (The Holy Scriptures) has some comments about such offspring. There is no rational of ADD or ADHD here, simply a description of their actions in a rather negative light (no pun intended considering indigo children are supposedly "children of light").
chapter:verse 30:11-14
"There are those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers;
those who are pure in their own eyes and yet are not cleansed of their filth;
...whose eyes are ever so haughty, whose glances are so disdainful;
whose teeth are swords...jaws are set with knives to devour the poor from the earth...Proverbs 30, New International Version of the Hebrew Scriptures
These children have not been taught respect at home, yet the schools are not allowed to teach them either but rather put up with them in "special" education classes?? Mmm, seems like we have generations coming through that need much better parents. Is it too late? Only if we expect that the world will end tomorrow and we give up hope for today. Let's not go there! I teach in public school daily and only with much discipline can we keep these children in check. They will NOT be allowed to disrupt class and they WILL learn and they will learn about respect as well. They will learn at school, if not at home. We have a mission and we will succeed, God willing.

It doesn't surprise me that parents would rather believe that their children are somehow better or special rather than that they have a disorder of some sort. I teach middle school and a lot of the parents are...just plain crazy. I have had parents look me in the eye and tell me how brilliant and sensitive and special their children are, when I see them bullying, being mean, trying to distract their classmates, and just being down right lazy or disrespectful. Of course, a person would rather believe that their precious little angel is really that--a precious indigo crystal angel that is smarter than their teacher--than that they've raised a spoiled child who does not know how to cope in the world--that they've trained to be picky, self centered and egotistical.

This is scary, all these people buying into this. Think about what these children will become, who we will be looking at in the future. These kids are being told they're smarter, then they're removed from schools, so they don't learn anything. Very scary.

Wat the fuk is this?!?!? This dumb little fuk wants to say he has motherfukin powers The mother fukin Avatar? Did you ever think that he just got it from the motherfukin show? I guess the Dad (who i thought was an ugly mom at first) is to fukin retarded to know what TV shows his motherfukin kid watches. All this shit is code for "My dumb fukin kid is a faliure but, he says that he has superpowers, so its not his fault!!" I bet if he was a black kid he just have ADD but since he's white he has super motherfukin powers!!! THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!! Dumb Craclers!
