In metaphysics, which is the study of everything outside of what science can measure, Indigos, Transitional Children, New Children, and Children of the Now are a much talked about–if not universally accepted–phenomenon, and I introduce them as characters in my fourth novel, Between Now and Forever.
Is there such a thing as a new generation of children who are coming to our world with special gifts? I don’t claim to know the answer. That’s why I write fiction, to open you to the possibility and give you something to think about.
What could it hurt to believe that our children have special gifts, especially when it relates to how we educate kids who are labeled “different” in our schools?
What follows is a video, compliments of YouTube and Neale Donald Walsch, that gives a short introduction to concept of the Indigo.
I hope you found this intriguing. I certainly did. Enough so that I included seven thirteen-year-old Indigos in one of my novels.
Between Now and Forever Synopsis:
SYNOPSIS: Medicate or nurture; reform or set free? These are quandaries rookie teacher Marjorie Veil faces when she takes on an after-school class for thirteen-year-olds labeled as troublemakers, unteachable, and hopeless. Faculty skeptics warn that all these kids need is prescribed medication for focus and impulse control. “Bring them into line,” they say. “Show them who’s boss.” But, as Marjorie quickly discovers, behind their anti-conformist exteriors are gifted teens that are sensitive, empathetic, and wise beyond their youth. They also happen to have unique psychic abilities, which they have kept hidden until now. Can Marjorie help her students do what she has been unable to do for herself: fight for their spiritual and emotional freedom?
As always, thanks for stopping by,

Recently when I was at my son's house there was a car parked near his house that had a sticker on it for a school in SJ for Indigo children. It is a very interesting phenomenon.

Yes it is. I'd love to visit a school for Indigos sometime, though I've heard that the Waldorf Schools, Montessori Schools, and Mead School are excellent, too.
