Indigos are awaking in great numbers to the gentle call of a living universe. Some are cherished and nurtured, but most are forced to struggle with the emotional pain of misunderstanding. Yet, each will feel the same need to explore their own 'Indigo-ness' and their own destiny of evolution and contact. Indigos are here to help humanity achieve its oldest dream — universal harmony. They will do it by living in service-to-others in the hope of seeing humanity overcome its service-to-self failings. When that happens, our civilizations will no longer grow quickly, erode slowly and then die suddenly. Rather, they will last and they will know love. As we evolve, off-world races will freely contract us, and Indigos will become our honest liaisons, for they will instinctively know friend from foe. All are born to this role, but not all are destined to fulfill it. This book is dedicated to those who do, and it offers helpful suggestions for future encounters. [DOI: 10.1572/yowbooks.ietc]Are You an Indigo? The term "Indigo" describes the hue of the aura (life energy color) that surrounds an Indigo, according to psychic Nancy Ann Tappe, but this is not the only measure. An Indigo will also possess a high IQ, an indomitable sense-of-self and a strong psychic intuition. Born to a natural knowing of things, they quickly sense goodness, compassion, evil intent and crisis in others. How do true Indigos define themselves? Through their feelings. Do these questions sound familiar? Am I a recent genetic freak of nature, as the "experts" suggest? Why am I so out-of-sync with this materialistic, consumption-driven society about me? Why, when all I crave is oneness with the universe, do others subjugate me with emotional abuse and drugs? Is there any purpose to my life that can possibly justify all this emotional pain? The true Indigo instinctively knows that the answers to such questions are found within. Only in this way, can they resonate completely. Regrettably, the quest within is all-to-often marked by the loneliness and emotional pain caused by those who do not understand Indigos, or worse yet, fear them. Still, each Indigo must eventually accept the responsibility of his or her own knowledge quest as no two are exactly alike. For this reason, the author wrote this book in the hope of giving comfort to young Indigos, by sharing knowledge gained through his own quest. It is also to say to every Indigo, "Each of us follows a different quest, but we all feel and understand your pain. Put it aside and revel in your 'Indigo-ness' and know that you are not alone!"
