I encourage the parents of indigos not to hesitate to pro- vide impersonal professional counseling. Even for parents who know about psychology and child development, I encourage this. At this point the parents’ concern for their own child or children does not allow them to be successful counselors. Most professionals know this automatically and take their children for outside professional help. Often the average parent feels guilty that perhaps they have done something wrong. So they hesitate to seek help unless the school system recommends it. T encourage them to realize that psychology is not necessarily for the sick. It is designed for balancing the mental/emotional process. With early help the child’s adult years are less confus- ing on tho: S Itis similar to building a house. If the foundation is weak in one area, through no fault of the architect or contractor, then the rest af the house is dependent upon that one weak spol. And so itis with children and their environment. When, emotionally, they perceive something in their environmentis wrong forthem, itis. Whether the perception is objective or subjective does not matter. They build the rest of their perceptions upon their initial perceptionif the situation isnot corrected. Therefore, itis essen- tial that indigos be allowed to express their fears and have them dealt with as impersonally as possible. For some reason they do not seem capable of making that difference by themselves. Here’s an example. A five-year old indigo was attending a performing arts school. For two years she was seemingly trou- ble-free. One day, as her mother was taking her to school, she resisted. ‘The mother knew something was wrong. She talked to the teacher who did not know of any problem, but said she would observe the little girl. The teacher noticed the little girl did not participate as much as she had been. Nor did she move around very much. One morning the teacher asked her class to move from one area to another. The little girl did not want to move. The teach- er went over to pick her up and discovered that she had wet her panties. The litile gir] said nothing. 223may not know how to handle it. So they may need special guid- in that particular area. This does not mean they need it in every area of their lives. When they feel comfortable about the issue, they go on with their lives as if nothing happened. As parents, we do well to move along the same lines. ‘As mentioned before, the indigo process is to show us to- morrow and to enjoy today doing it. They do this beautifull ‘These children are born with their eyes open. ‘They are bright- eyed and clear in their vision. They are happy children who love having fun. When I observe the indigo lust for life and joy in living, I cannot believe there is impending doom for us. These children seem to be forerunners of a wonderful time and place in the future. Their delightful attitudes are surely an indication. ‘We, through our past orientation, seem to have fear attached to our projection of the future. We often believe the worst. Indi- gos (ake life in stride and know things will work out for the best. This does not mean they are totally innocent, nor are they im- mune from fear and paranoia. However, if fearful situations are treated in the moment, they will not linger into their adult years. Indigos are also quite intuitive and sensitive. They per- ceive what is going on within people, places and events. They respond to these events as if they were actually happening. For instance, the indigo baby is in its crib. The parents are very quiet with each other. However, underneath the surface there may be some emotional difficulty. The baby picks up on these emotions and responds to them. The little tot is nervous, ir- ritable, and discontented. The parents may be confused. Yes, they know there is a problem underneath everything else, but they are trying to work it out. They knowit will sort itself out in time. The indigo knows this too. However, he or she wants to resolve the problem now. Several of the other life colors, such as violets and crystals, have alesson of enjoyment. The difference is they have to enjoy using their old memories to handle their present lives. Indigos do not have to play with the past even though they remember it well, They have a good grip on it. However, their challenges come from the fact that other people find their joy too exuber- ant and then attempt to stifle them in the process. Their lesson 225which again, is not the true picture. You can clearly see situ- ations are capable of becoming quite confusing when we are dealing with dual colors and personality pattern types. The rules to follow for dual colors with indigo are: 1) The description of the indigo applies 2) The description of the dual color applies 3) The personality pattern lype of the inctigo applies Keepin mind if the indigo is Humanist, dealing with people is the issue. If the indigo is Artist, dealing with arts, crafts, and all aspects of the theatre will be the theme. Finally, if the indigo is Inter-planetarian/Catalyst, the focus will be dealing with the curiosity about people, places and things, and how they do or do not work. If you follow these guidelines, you will have no difficulty working out the identity structure. Tt would take too much time and space to put all that infor- mationin this one book. There will not be that many dual indigo colors. In fact, some of the dualities will never appear. For the sake of lime and space, we will leave it very general. The gen- eral rule for the indigo dual colors is to assist them in using the indigo primarily and the auxiliary color only when necessary.
