The next step in human evolution?

Has anyone else heard of Indigo children? According to some people they are the next level of human development. According to others they are just in closer harmony with their spiritual side.

Just a few of the characteristics of Indigo children:
  • Have strong self esteem

  • Have difficulty with discipline and authority

  • Are rather creative

  • Display strong intuition

  • Have strong empathy for others

  • Develop abstract thinking very young

  • Are gifted and/or talented, highly intelligent

  • Are talented daydreamers and visionaries
And here's the kicker:
  • Have spiritual intelligence and/or psychic skills

  • Are here to change the world - to help us live in greater harmony and peace with one another
I think it's important to know about this because even if you don't believe there are Indigo children (particularly the last two points), you can't deny that the way children behave and learn is changing. Not to mention that there are parents out there who are convinced that their children are Indigo, or what if you do have a student who suddenly shows psychic skills, how do you deal with that as a teacher?

Here are some links to more information on Indigo children for those who I have intrigued:

I've always thought of myself as the next step in human evolution... Not really, but this is very interesting. To think that something as minor as a change in thought processes can label someone as the next step in human evolution. And it is totally believable to boot!
