Indigo Children

I had to smile at number 4. On most of my boards, my personal quote is "You know that old saying "Some people march to the beat of a different drummer. I don't listen to a drum at all and have meandered through life instead of marching."

Ha ha, I like that!
 
Aren't 10 and 12 kinda mutually exclusive?
Not really. I am a very good leader, however, I prefer a very solitary life out here in the real world. Online, I'm good to interact like crazy, but to be around a bunch of people is beyond what I can handle in person. Pretty much family only for interaction in person, but put me online or on a phone and I'll lead you anywhere we need to go. :)

I was thinking more of a leader in a professional environment where being around the people being led is common. In any event, was just making an observation, probably not relevant to the thread topic.

Actually, very relevant. There seem to be some things on the list that anyone can relate to, and some just don't seem to jive that well. OK, so now I have to find out who "invented" this whole concept. Where did this come from is the question. I vaguely remember when it first hit and a book involved.

I'm the same, Debi! I get worn out quickly in real time interactions.

Nancy Ann Tappe wrote “My Life Thru Color”
The term "indigo children" originated with parapsychologist and self-described synestheteand psychic Nancy Ann Tappe, who developed the concept in the 1970s.[7] In 1982 Tappe published a comb-bound[8][9][10][11] which she expanded and republished in paperback in 1986 as Understanding Your Life Thru Color.[8][9][12] In these works Tappe introduced the concept of "life colors",[8][13][14] defined in Understanding Your Life Thru Color as "the single color of the aura that remains constant in most people from the cradle to the grave".[15][16] The concept of "life colors" was popularized nationally by Tappe's student Barbara Bowers,[17][18] who published What Color Is Your Aura?: Personality Spectrums for Understanding and Growth in 1989,[19][20][21] and by Bowers' student Pamala Oslie,[22][18] who published Life Colors: What the Colors in Your Aura Reveal in 1991.[23][24]

Tappe stated that during the late 1960s and early 1970s she began noticing that many children were being born with indigo auras (or, in her terminology, with indigo as their "life color").[10][7][25] The idea was later popularized by the 1998 book The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived, written by husband and wife self-help lecturers Lee Carroll and Jan Tober.[26][27]

In 2002, the first international conference on indigo children was held in Hawaii, drawing 600 attendees, and there have been subsequent conferences in Florida, Oregon, and elsewhere.[28]Several films have been produced on the subject, including two films by New Age writer James Twyman: a 2003 feature film Indigo and a 2006 documentary The Indigo Evolution.[28]
 
the fact you notice this is what makes you fit the number 6 example, more perceptive.... most ppl would look at this list and only pick out what they think fits themselves, by seeing that this list is actually made to bring about a narcissistic view..
This observation resonates the most with me. I've always been turned off by the whole "indigo" concept because it always seems to present itself in a very narcissistic way whether it be pure self-adulation or the expression of a mother who is convinced that her child is more special than other children and wants everyone else to believe it too. Sure, I can see some grand reflection of myself in nearly every item on that list. But when I look a bit more deeply into that mirror, I can also see that it is just my good old ego being flushed.

Another thing about this concept, is that there isn't any practical advice for use in everyday life. After you finish reading and resonating, (at least for me) there is this "So what, now what?" moment.
