“The Indigo Child concept was first
popularized by the book, ‘The Indigo Child,‘ written by the
husband and wife team Lee Carroll and Jan Tober. Carroll also
portrays himself as a channeler for ‘Kryon,’ a spiritual entity [demon] who predicted the
coming of the Indigo Children.”

“INDIGO is a film about loneliness,
redemption, and the healing powers and grace of the new generation of
Indigo (psychic and gifted) children being born into the world.”[2]

During a flight delay in
Chicago in the late nineties, I spent my time browsing the airport bookstore
near my terminal. When a young woman next to me picked up a copy of

Conversations with God, the first book in the popular series by

Neale Donald
Walsch, I had to ask, “Are you familiar with that book?”

 

“A friend told me I should
read it,” she answered. She then told me she was a Christian.

 

“But it’s not about
Christianity,” I warned her. “It may sound good and use a lot of Christian
words, but its message turns God’s truth upside down.”

 

She thanked me and put the
book back. My thoughts drifted back to a Christian conference some years
earlier where several publishing house editors had concluded that the

“New Age movement had peaked.” No
need for more books on that topic, they said, for the faddish seductions of ‘the beautiful
side of evil’ would soon fade away.[3]

 

They couldn’t have been
further from the truth. While those early blooms of occult enticements might
have peaked in interest among Christians, the seeds of deception sown
during the sixties and seventies had
already taken root in well-cultivated soil across America. Since then,
the poisonous fruit disseminated through the Beatles, Napoleon Hill, Shirley MacLaine,
Marianne Williamson, Hindu gurus,

goddess worshippers and countless other spiritual advocates of New Age
spirituality and the power of positive thinking have been
sprouting everywhere — in schools, churches, movie theaters, television,
books, the news media and the internet. Syncretism, mysticism and subjective,
self-made spirituality have
become the norm.

 

So it was no surprise to
learn in early January this year that the
award-winning movie “Indigo” would be
released at select
theaters and “churches”
in all 50 states and 40 countries on

January 29.[4]
Starring the famed Neale Donald Walsch
who placed his occult Conversations with God into the public
consciousness, it
would surely accelerate America’s paradigm shift toward a
global spirituality incompatible with our God and His Word.

 

Wondering whether to see the
movie or not, I searched

the internet in mid-January. The website Metagifted Education Resource Organization (MERO)
gave an interesting description of
the Indigo personality:

“Being Indigo is not a disorder!
It’s a Spiritual Evolution that manifests physically and appears to be a
Cultural Revolution. This is the new Aquarian energy….

 

“Indigo Children are the
current generation being born today and most of those who are 8 years
old or younger…. The name itself indicates the Life Color they carry
in their auras and is indicative of the Third Eye Chakra, which
represents intuition and psychic ability. These are the children who are
often rebellious to authority, nonconformist, extremely emotional and
sometimes physically sensitive or fragile, highly talented or
academically gifted and often metaphysically gifted as well, usually
intuitive, very often labeled ADD, either very empathic and
compassionate OR very cold and callous, and are wise beyond their years….

 

“Their nonconformity to
systems and to discipline… will help them accomplish big goals
such as changing the educational system…. The Indigo Children are the
ones who have come to raise the vibration of our planet! These are the
primary ones who will bring us the enlightenment to ascend….

 

“About 85% or higher of
children born in ’92 or later, 90% born in ’94 or after and 95% or more
born now are Indigo Children!”[5]

Then I perused the
website for
the Indigo movie. Even two weeks before the opening date, theaters in my
state were sold out, but seats
were still available in alternative “churches” such as Unity, Unitarian,
Congregational and Christian Science.  After much prayer, I bought a
ticket from a local Unity “church” and arrived in time to browse
its bookstore
before the movie opened.

 

The first book I
noticed was The Purpose Driven Life, prominently displayed near
the front door.
But I saw neither Bibles nor other familiar Christian literature.
There were plenty of metaphysical books, including Mr. Walsch’s Conversations with God. Other shelves carried crystals,
symbols, and books by

Thomas Merton
and other, more obviously Buddhist gurus. Here mysticism and meditation
from the East and West all mingled together. Glancing through some of the
books, I kept seeing traditional words and phrases such as redemption,
faith, righteousness, holiness, transformation, abundant life….  But
all the words had been given new meaning. Their occult context twisted everything
into spiritual lies and half-truths. Just as the
serpent did to Eve back in the
garden, I thought.

 

A small Unity publication on “Transformation” caught my eye, and I pondered
its interesting interpretation of
Romans 12:2. While the Biblical translation tells us,”do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind,” the Unity version changes the meaning: 

”To not be conformed to the
world is to have the courage to trust our own intuition, even if it
conforms not to the teachings of this world’s authorities. It means to
put faith in our inner knowing of truth more than to succumb to the
voice of authority.”[6]

Interesting, I thought.
That’s the opposite of what God tells us in the Bible!  In fact,
Proverbs 3:5 reminds me
to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own
understanding.”
 

This emphasis on personal
intuition and
rejection of outside authorities was well illustrated by the movie that
soon followed. The Indigo child was the
granddaughter of Ray, the character played by Mr. Walsch. Arrogant and self-confident,
the precocious Grace followed her feelings and conversed
with the invisible spirit world
that both filled and surrounded her. Mental telepathy, divination,
necromancy (communication with the dead) and the “healing touch”
came naturally to this Indigo child, for she had intuitively tapped into a “universal force” — a seductive reservoir of occult
wisdom, strength and “prophetic” voices. 

 

According to the movie script and to the promotional message from the producers, all who were touched by
Grace’s life — including her grandfather — were transformed:

“The dramatic core of the film is the relationship that develops between a
man whose life and family have dissolved due to a fateful mistake and his 10-year-old granddaughter with whom he goes on the run to protect her from a
would-be kidnapper. Along the way, he discovers the power of his
granddaughter’s gifts which forever alter the lives of everyone she
encounters.”[7]

Grace was aloof, willful, sassy,
and disrespectful. The list sounds familiar, doesn’t it? The profile is
typical of television-trained children from today’s permissive homes. But in
the context of this fictional movie, those contentious attitudes made Grace
a valuable change agent within her dysfunctional family. And since the
script was written to affirm her condescending ways, I was not surprised by
the laughter and cheers from the audience. The fact that contemporary
children share many of Grace’s characteristics only strengthens its
metaphysical message: “send the energy” to everyone.

 

While some of us grieve the
real-world consequences of this cultural revolution, a rising chorus of
voices demands acceptance of today’s
paradigm shift. Their positive spin inspires visions of an
evolved humanity that is bursting out of the old shackles of Christian
morality, traditional guidelines and parental restraints. The new
civilization would be led by children and youth driven by the spiritual
visions and universal energies that are steering the world toward occult
transformation.  

 

Neale Donald Walsch’s part in the
production and promotion of the award-winning movie[7] helps clarify the source of this
deception. He freely admits that he receives his inspired messages through
the occult practice of “automatic writing.” In the Introduction
to Conversations with God, Book 2, he
tells us,

“On
a blank sheet of paper, I would merely write a question… and no sooner
was the question written than the answer would form in my head, as if
Someone were whispering in my ear. I was taking dictation!”

[8]
[Emphasis added]

[9,
pages 25-26]

[10]  Walsch’s demonic guide wants to draw humanity to himself through
freely chosen feel-good experiences. Conversations with God, Book 2 makes the point
well:

[See “Character Training for Global Citizenship“]

And,
like
most New Age illusions and practices, this ideology brings measurable
success — in the millions.  According to critic

Lorie Anderson,

“Twyman
sells books and an Internet course based on the Psychic Children. He holds
pricey Psychic Children conferences, camps, and fairs, charging about
$300 for adults for the main conference. He offers an Internet course on
telekinetic spoon-bending. He purportedly conversed with Jesus (‘Jeshua’) who revealed to Twyman through a ‘Divine Partnership’ the
‘secrets of Heaven and Earth’ …

“He doesn’t always make a distinction in his writings between his
purported mystical interactions and actual, in-the-flesh interactions.
When confronted with suspected and admitted misrepresentations, he
conveys that he would rather we focus on the truth of his messages than
the truth of his experiences – and this seems to satisfy many
people….

“Twyman wrote reassuringly: ‘…as I have been telling those who inquire,
Emissary of Light is not an organization, and I am not a guru. … This is not about me. It is about peace.'”[1]

“Beware lest
anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit,
according to the tradition of men, according to the basic
principles of the world, and not according to Christ.”  Colossians 2:8

“For the time will
come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but
according to their own desires, because they have itching ears,
they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn
their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
But you be watchful in all things…”  2
Timothy 4:2-5
