Are you Purple?

[Leyla]

I have a friend who keeps insisting that people with APs and OBEs are "Indigo Children." I had heard of this, but didn't know what it was. So, I did an investigation.

A thumbnail sketch of the theory: the "Indigo Warrior" children were sent here in the 70's, this first wave is supposed to tear down old corrupt systems, clearing the path for the second wave, the "Crystals" who are being born now, they are described as blissful and even-tempered.

So, I go to this web site she wanted to see, and it says:

Humans are becoming aware of who they truly are: that they are Spirits in Human bodies, and that they are, in other words, Angels in human form...there was always a "gap" between the material manifestation of the human body and consciousness and the spiritual reality...As the consciousness ascends higher, the spiritual world comes closer, until there is no longer a "gap" but a continuum that is termed "Multi-Dimensional Consciousness". In this state, the human being is able to access both the material and spiritual realms with ease.

That is quite clearly describing OBEs.

I want to test the theory: Who here has been photographed with a Purple or Indigo Aura?  

[kiwibonga]

Indigo children do not actually have an indigo/purple aura. Also, aura colors are not a constant, so the color from an aura photo is only one aspect of the aura.

arent indigo childrean defined as people who (normally (not when enraged etc.)) have an indigo aura? if not why then are they indigo children?

[blade5x]

Hehe that would be cool because that might include me (born in 87 )

I'm just curious to know... where exactly did this theory come from? It sounds kind of stupid in my opinion as humans throughout existance have always have had APs and OBEs.

And how to I get an aura photograph?

and... just in case you heard otherwise from other "indigo" sources, the designated word "Indigo" has nothing to do with the color of an aura! It is the result of scientific observations by a woman who has the brain disorder called synesthesia.

As for the idea that AP and OBEs are exclusive to indigo children... That's wrong... All humans can leave the body. Even animals can, actually.

It's been found that everyone has 'synesthesia', people who are deemed to suffer from it medically usually have more pronounced symptoms of it (so it infringes on sensory perception) whereas the majority of us utilise its effects in an subconscious manner.
Out of curiosity, what would synesthesia have to do with stating people are indigo?

[CFTraveler]

Plus the idea that to have OBEs you have to be indigo seems silly to me, for one, they are supposed to be more 'enlightened' and a lot of us that project aren't (trust me on that   ), and people have been projecting for ages (lots of books about obes have been written in the past about the phenomenon) and the indigo phenomenon is supposed to be a contemporary one.  Now I realize that the indigo idea stemmed from a reaction to the modern pathologizing of children, and I applaud that, but there has to be a better way of enpowering them than to make them feel like they're members of an 'elite' club, which is the impression I get from the websites I've visited and not to mention a whole sales franchise.

There is a form of "aura photography" which is often used at "Festival of Mind Body & Spirit" type events.  

The so-called aura photography equipment consists of five thimble-type cups into which you push your figer tips.  These measure the electrical resistance in your fingertips, and then a computer program converts the resistance measurements into a bunch of colours which are then superposed over a photograph taken of you with a normal camera.

Trust me this doesn't work!!!!

I can't imagine why the electrical resistance of your fingertips (governed by the amount you SWEAT) should have any bearing on the colours in your aura.

So if you had an aura photograph taken by this machine just throw it away.

On the other hand, Kirlian photography uses a different principle and actually measures some sort of emanation or field surrounding your fingertips.  Kirlian photography therefore possibly captures a form of auric emanation.  The cameras cost $700 or so.

I have a friend who is able to see auras (in fact I know two people who can see auras).  My friend gives me a detailed description of my aura including bright colours etc.  I think what he sees is something different again from the images captured by the fake aura camera, and the genuine Kirlian camera.  What my friend sees is probably not a physical emanation, rather an "astral" emanation.

So take aura photographs with a pinch of salt!

I'm quite happy (delighted) to be proven wrong, if anybody has any information on a real physical device which can capture full-body aura images showing real colours, and achieves this without measuring the amount you sweat!

I think the "indigo children" idea is just some sort of cult fad (sorry).  After all, astral projection has been practiced for thousands of years, by all cultures!

Having said that, my aura is in fact indigo around the back of my head at the moment (according to my friend).....  

[Leyla]

aura colors are not a constant...

To a degree, yes they are. You may go through life changes, but you will still be "you."

just in case you heard otherwise from other "indigo" sources, the designated word "Indigo" has nothing to do with the color of an aura!

This one person going up against many other sources, probably because her child does not have an Indigo Aura.

humans throughout existance have always have had APs and OBEs.

No kidding.    They are claiming that there are more people coming in with these abilities. That there has been a marked increase.  

One would only hope, that after thousands of years of re-incarnations humans would finally have an upgrade.  You'd think we'd have learned something by now.

It's about time, don't you think? If not, then we're a hoplessly stupid race and should just give up.

catmeow - I am aware there are a couple of different types of machines, and one of them just overlays random colors over your picture.  So you have to be careful.

I have had two of them done, almost ten years apart, by different people, on different (newer, updated) equipment. I was amazed at how the photos were nearly exactly the same.

I do think the Aura has something to tell us about ourselves. I do not think it is "meaningless."

If we go by the system the Chakras lay out it has to do with the age of the soul. We all start off as "red" and after a period of time progress through to the other colors.

Any eliteism would be like a Fifth grader picking on a First grader. How you do know the First grader isn't smarter? You never know what brand new "red" soul might catch up quicky, grow up, and out-perform you.

Then it would remember how you picked on it when it was little, and kick your butt.

the "disorder" synesthesia, "suffer" from synesthesia? since when is synesthesia some kind of disease that people suffer from?  its just when senses kind of "leak" into other areas of the brain, for example hearing a color from someones voice, or seeing colors in letters and numbers...etc etc......cant believe you people used the words disorder and suffer to describe it.  having synesthesia is not suffering at all, its actually interesting to have it....sheesh people, learn the facts?

I sort of made this point above, including it seems all our brains are wired to cross senses (which anyone taking a high dose of psychedelics would experience for themselves ). But people said to 'suffer' from 'synesthesia ' are just more aware of it than others.
Theres been some very interesting research into synesthesias role in language, mathematics, spatial and temporal understanding and construction, and even its role in creativity and our internal interpretation of sound.

Ive had synesthesia as far as i remember, just learned what it was called last year after telling a person i could hear colors of peoples voices, she was like hmm Ive heard that was called synesthesia i was like really? so i researched it on the net and found out about it....the only things i can really do is see colors on people, not auras, but on the actual people, feel when I'm certain colors for example ill feel blue or red, like if i eat a cookie or some small thing it will turn me a different color for about 30 minutes (don't ask my why, cause I'm not sure).....hear colors in voices, and a lot of times songs i hear have certain colors.....your right tho it is a subconscious thing because when i hear a color in a voice, "red" or whatever wont pop up in my head, ill subconsciously know the persons voice is red without thinking about it

[kiwibonga]

The point is that synesthesia does not always mean clairvoyance, or at least, not in the terms that we know.

As it was said earlier in this thread, nobody can have an aura that is only indigo.. All humans have a multicolored aura, no matter what...

[Leyla]

kiwibonga - nobody can have an aura that is only indigo

Apparently you've never had anyone explain this to you. The inner core of your Aura  is "you." This will probably change very little over the course of your lifetime.

The colors on the outside reflect your current experiences. On the left side are the influences on their way in, on the right side are the influences on their way out.

I notice that so far, no one has been able to answer my question, as no one here knows what their aura looks like. You'd think that would be something we'd all know on a board like this.

[kiwibonga]

You seem to be describing the etheric body, which sticks out of the skin by about 5 cm all around.

Mine is translucent glow-in-the-dark blue. Or at least, that's what I keep seeing when I manage to detach my etheric hands from my physical body during sleep paralysis...

I've never seen an aura though...

[Leyla]

Okay, so that's one indigo...

On the rare occasions I see myself I'm usually moving energy, and too distracted by the electricity bolts flashing across my body, and flashing inside my eyes, to notice the color...    The bolts were white. But of course they would be. And they were covering me so that I couldn't see my core aura color.

The two photos I've had taken (many years apart) were almost exactly the same, and both showed me as purple. They have people who can see auras who help them develop the equipment, to let them know if they have the colors right or not.

[MisterJingo]

A recentish reading saw my aura as:

i see aura around you as pink, orange, golden, white, indigo, tray red, ethereal green, topaz

Thats a lot of colours there

[CFTraveler]

When I project the few times I've seen my melty hands I think they're bluish, but not dark blue.
BTW, what is tray red?

I've no idea! I've been googling about regarding this and other parts of the reading, but with little luck so far.

[blade5x]

Only time I've looked at my arms was my first one, and it looked normal, like how my physical forearms would look :confused:

I really need to remember to check again next time.

[Nay]

I used to play with my arms and hands and I've never seen anything other than a slight out line with, what I would call stars, or galaxies.  I'm all twinkly.  Never have I've seen me any other color.  Interesting.

[Leyla]

MisterJingo - There are always a lot of colors, the differance is where exactly those colors are.

In my photo, my core energy was purple, (the color direcly over my person.)

To one side I had a murky brown, this was a negagtive influence on it's way out (I had just broken up with a bad b/f.)

To the other side was a bright pink color on it's way in (a New Love on the way.) Also there was some green healing energy on the way in.

Dirctly over my heart was gold, and I had a couple of "orbs" over my head.

It's the core color, the one in the middle of all the "outside influences" that is you...the other colors are just what's going on around you.

[Nay]

I've always thought those aura photos were a bit, iffy.

[Vilkate]

I'd really like to know what my aura is like - but where I live, I think we can't even get fake photos of auras!

[Nay]

 You can come to one of the Expos here and get your fake photo, not to mention some bogus readings.
