Beyond the Indigo Children

Source: New Dawn Magazine

“Two key brain-building genes, which underwent dramatic changes in the past that coincided with huge leaps in human intellectual development, are still undergoing rapid mutations, evolution's way of selecting for new beneficial traits,” so said Bruce Lahn and his University of Chicago colleagues in a study published in the journal Science, dated 9 September 2005. Not everyone has both of these genes, yet reports of mutation are increasing at an unprecedented rate: 70% of the world's population now evidences one of them, 30% both.

“Just as major environmental changes, such as dramatic shifts in the climate, food supply, or geography, favoured the selection of genetic traits that increased survival skills,” continued Lahn, “the pressures on gene selection today come from an increasingly complex and technologically oriented society.” Numerous genes are involved in brain building, not just the two mutations. Still, there is enough scientific evidence now to back up the claim that our youngest citizens represent a new type of human evolution in our time.

To call our new children indigos, crystals, star, sky, or psychic children utterly misses the mark. These are labels that do more to promote exclusive clubs of specialness than to honour and celebrate those born since around 1982.

Factually, only a rare few have indigo or purple auras (that part of our electromagnetic field surrounding our bodies that is visible) – yet the traits ascribed to so-called indigos fit nearly three-fourths of the world's young. Many adults fit the same pattern, indicating that in spite of the quantum jump currently taking place, evolution’s spiral has been ongoing.

What of these youngsters? It can be said that the vast majority are quite intelligent (between 30 to 40% score in the range of 150 to 160 on standard IQ tests); they are unusually creative, intuitive, and innovative (which makes them natural problem solvers); the majority are spatial learners whose strongest trait is spatial reasoning (nearly equal between females and males); most are excellent with math (that surprises you, doesn't it?); they are volunteer-project minded with a knack for entrepreneurship and turning out the crowds.
