Since 2004, a new scepter is being raised in the name of mysticism as parents and some undiscerning churchgoer’s flock to the altar of what some have called “child worship.” A mutating facet of the New Age is heralded by induction of the “Indigo Child.” Psychic and synesthesiac (see musical notes as color) Nancy Ann Tappe coined the new term. She classifies people's personalities according to the hue of their auras. She claims to identify gifted children as having an indigo colored aura that signifies their mystical grandiosity.

Parents by the thousands have embraced this new thought and now label their children as Indigo Children verses having a neuro-biological condition requiring medication. One can understand why many parents would not want their child to be labeled as ADD or ADHD. The label implies imperfection. Some may even take it to mean the child is "damaged." This new position sounds positive and stimulates pride in one’s offspring instead of coping with a medical problem.

Many materials are being written to advance this New Age teaching. "The Indigo Children" is a book written by Lee Carroll, a channeler for an entity he calls 'Kryon'. One thesis that Kryon presented of the Indigo Children is that many children diagnosed as having attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder represent "a new kind of evolution of humanity." The entity stated, “These children don't require drugs like Ritalin, but special care and training.” Medical liability issues are yet to be seen from a comment like that.

One cannot begin to touch upon the curse associated with channeling familiar spirits. That is a topic all in itself, hopefully an issue that does not warrant discussion. Consulting mediums, soothsayers, channelers, psychics and other workers of iniquity are clearly condemned by God. (Example: I Samuel 28:7; 1 Chr. 10:13; Duet. 18:10-14) In Acts 16:16, we read about a demon-possessed girl who had psychic abilities proclaiming that Paul and his companions spoke truth. Paul was deeply troubled and rebuked the spirit commanding it to depart for there is nothing more repugnant than evil proclaiming truth. Satan from the beginning presented truth mixed with deception to Eve. The New Age is fully empowered with this same position.

Celia Fenn author for Starchild Ascension Group writes, "The Indigo and Crystal Adults are composed of two groups. First, there are those who were born as Indigos and are now making the transition to Crystal. This means they undergo a spiritual and physical transformation that awakens their "Christ" or "Crystal" consciousness and links them with the Crystal children as part of the evolutionary change. The second group is those who were born without these qualities, but have acquired through their own hard work to be part of the emerging group of "human angels" (more on human angels here: crimsoncircle.com). The Indigo and Crystal children that come to the planet are known as "Starchildren". Often this is because their souls are more at home in the stars, and they have not incarnated on Earth before. They come at this time on "special assignment" to assist Earth and her inhabitants with their transition and rebirth as a higher dimensional ‘New Earth’.”

The attributes listed for Indigo Children are lengthy and gifted in definition. The list could also describe millions of people who have lived from the beginning of time. According to Nancy, this is a new phenomenon that will continue to grow. Most New Age advocates will contend, since Nancy is a psychic, she has profound insight and her teachings are wholesomely acceptable. One cannot deny the existence of body energy as an aura for it is scientific. No one can deny gifted children, nor can we argue that each generation shows a shifting in its values. What is troubling is the ancient paganism being lauded as factual and that any aspect of it is even remotely in alliance with Jesus Christ and the Holy Father of creation.

The majority of contributors of the book "The Indigo Children" and "An Indigo Celebration" are dedicated to New Age metaphysics. New Age attracts mystics, people not happy with organized religion and who do not believe that Christ is the only way to God as proclaimed by Jesus in John 14:6 "Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Mystics are self-governed spiritualist who decides independently what is of God and what is not. They chase spiritual fads and join groups who share the community spirit of mysticism. They are completely confident that the real God is the “divine” in their mysticism. For this to be plausible, all the historical scriptures where God smote civilizations for pursuing earth worship and idolatry must never exist. The global flood was the first purging of humanity; Christ returning in judgment will be the second.

Nancy wrote eloquently "The Indigo phenomenon has been recognized as one of the most exciting changes in human nature ever documented in society. The Indigo label describes the energy pattern of human behavior which exists in over 95% of the children born in the last 10 years … This phenomena is happening globally and eventually the Indigos will replace all other colors. As small children, Indigo’s are easy to recognize by their unusually large, clear eyes. Extremely bright, precocious children with an amazing memory and a strong desire to live instinctively, these children of the next millennium are sensitive, gifted souls with an evolved consciousness who have come here to help change the vibrations of our lives and create one land, one globe and one species." She aptly describes the generation ushering in the one world society as the Age of Aquarius strives. A society that will honor the anti-Christ that has been foretold in prophesy. Her end description matches the same warnings sounded by many Christian authors about the New Age Movement for three decades.

From the Lightworker Ascension Academy in Los Angeles, they write to parents seeking their support groups. "These are children of the future. They are being born with many of the upgrades we, as Lightworkers are mutating/evolving into as we set intention to raise our vibration and to activate higher and higher levels of Lightbody. These children are "hardwired" to the guidance of God as their Higher Self. They will dismantle any laws that are fear based and dissolve any institutions that lack meaning." The words "dismantle any laws that are fear based" are a very common phrase used by the New Age describing the Christian faith. The Age of Aquarius views Christianity as a burdensome rule-based system using fear tactics to control its followers. The New Age agenda does include dismantling the organized church through permeation. It seeks to align itself in tolerance while introducing pagan mysticism within the church. Due to the rampant ignorance of the professing Church regarding the New Age, they are succeeding unabated.

The ongoing surge of New Age concepts combined with every type of mysticism is quite overwhelming. The New Age is a spiritual pandemic of epic proportions that will not relent. When Jesus asked Luke 18:8 "...when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" He foresaw the Age of Aquarius, its draw upon powers of the occult and those who would be ensnared. Many churches seduced by the unholy are embracing these mystical teachings of the New Age in large numbers. As a watchman of the faith, I sound a trumpet to warn of Satan's successful schemes of old. His work is overtaking the spiritual landscape like a wildfire without compromise. Please take heed, its already touching your life in many ways in which you are not aware.

Seek to be spiritually alert and steadfast against the avalanche of ungodly propaganda. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.” (1 Peter 5:8-9) Do not allow your faith to be shaken in Christ. Study the Holy Scripture daily to prove all things and to secure a solid foundation within your heart against the wicked days that lie ahead.
