Jacqueline Rombot looks like a perfect ordinary twelve-tear-old kid, but her deep brown eyes suggest something unique. They seem to reflect a mature soul, well beyond her real age. She may seem naïve, but she is capable of reading others people’s minds. Though she excels in science, her interest leans toward art and observing people’s behavior.
Jacqueline’s father is a professor at a prominent university in Manado. “She loves questioning just about everything and anything,” he says. “Often, her questions are not even age-appropriate.”
Children like Jacqueline tend to know things even without ever being taught or told. They are known as indigo children. This phenomenon is believed to have begun appearing in the early 70’s. the children usually have an extremely high resistance to pollutants, as well as an increased sensitivity to sugar and food additives. They were born with an inherent knowledge of art, language and spirituality. They are highly intelligent and usually have psychic abilities, such as foreseeing the future, reading other people’s minds or communicating telepathically. The fragments of their DNA have been scientifically identified as ‘junk DNA’, or even not yet identified.
The term Indigo Child was first introduced in 1982 by Nancy Ann Tappe, a parapsychologist who developed a system for classifying people’s personalities based on the color of their auras. Then, in 1999, Lee Caroll and Jan Tober popularized the idea worldwide. After the year 2000, more and more cases of indigo children have been identified all over the globe.
The color indigo was not used to describe these special children without a reason. Indigo is the color of the Third Eye, which is associated with paranormal vision-seeing beyond the capability of the eyes. This flows through the human consciousness as KNOWING-but not knowing how you know.
Though remarkable, many indigo children have been mistakenly diagnosed with ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Dispattern, because of how they usually behave. Not all, but many of them tend to be restless and seems easily distracted. Actually this is because they can learn new things faster than other chidren can. Sadly, once diagnosed with ADHD, the children are put under medication which only makes things worse for their health and personality development.
Jacqueline is only one of the many indigo children lucky enough to have understanding and supportive parents. Instead of misjudging her, they make an effort to get to know her better. They never stop to seek information about her over the electronic and printed media to keep up with the latest findings. So far, they are just proud to be Jacqueline’s parents.
Jacqueline used to be very quiet and liked to hide from the rest of the world in her “secret” place, which is a little garden behind her family’s home. In the center of the garden there is a big, old oak tree where she used to fall asleep. Surrounding the tree were daffodils.
Now, as Jacqueline feels more secure with other people, she does not hide anymore. The garden is still there. The oak tree still stands but the little girl has emerged out of her shell. She no longer needs the garden to “protect” her.
Raising an unique child like Jacqueline requires her parents to consult someone who specializes in psychology, as well as parapsychology. Much patience is needed to help these children so that they can accept their uniqueness, be more spiritually explorative and share their gift with people around them instead of keeping it to themselves. To do this, they need to feel secure, not threatened. They need their parents to help them mingle in society, not hide from it.
When asked to share some tips on raising an indigo child properly, Jacqueline’s father just laughed and turned to his wife. She smiled and said that the key word is patience. “Without it, don’t except any miracles! You should also respect your child. Your child is just a kid whom you can treat as you please. And, honestly is the best policy. Be true to your words. Jacqueline always knows when we lie to her.”
People should realize that children like Jacqueline do exist. Instead of misjudging their unique character, people should accept these children for what they are and help them grow into wonderful beings as they are supposed to. If given the chance, so much can be discovered, invented and passed on by these indigos!
