Indigo Adults and Elders: Personality Traits and Characteristics

The people who we refer to as Indigo Adults or Elders are Old Souls who started incarnating on Earth from about the mid 1950s.  Their purpose is to assist in the Ascension of the Earth and Humanity.  They are considered to be the first group in the next significant human evolutionary process because they are "wired" differently.  This article explores the unique combination of the hallmark traits and characteristics that define the Indigo personality.

1.  Extraordinary Sensitivity.  Indigo Adults and Elders are extraordinarily sensitive in every aspect:  emotionally, physically and mentally.   On the emotional level, they are very empathic and compassionate.  They are prone to over-react emotionally, although they can be very adept at shielding, i.e., hiding their emotions.  On the physical level, they are very sensitive and responsive to touch, light, odors, changes in temperatures and so on due to their highly developed senses.  On a mental level, they are very sensitive to the nuances, subtle meaning and intent of the information that comes their way. 

2.  Natural Intelligence.  Indigo Adults and Elders have an innate, natural intelligence.  They process new information very quickly and are highly inquisitive ~ always needing to know the particulars of why, how, who and where.  Although they often reject and/or do not get the highest marks in the formal education system, the quest for knowledge, knowledge itself and life-long learning is of upmost importance to them.  They are voracious readers (often reading at least several books, magazines, periodicals, etc. at one time) and deep thinkers.  They do not just accept information ~ they question, evaluate and then decide for themselves.  They are usually not tolerant of deliberate stupidity.

3.  Highly Intuitive, Often Psychic.  Indigo Adults and Elders are intrinsically and precociously intuitive, perceptive and insightful.  They are able to instinctively and quickly discern people, situations, matters and things through their highly developed senses.  Many are naturally psychic, clairvoyant, clairsentient and second-sighted.   Many operate and act on the basis of intuition, perception and second-sightedness ~ whether they are fully aware of it or not.  This is because for them ~ this occurs automatically, effortlessly and spontaneously.  Most have had some type of psychic or paranormal contact or experience early on in life and many have repeated and recurring psychic experiences.

4.  Ardently Independent.  Indigo Adults and Elders are fiercely independent and sanction individual rights and freedoms. They rebel against and/or reject most, if not all, man-created systems (caste, class and others) that are designed to subordinate, control and manipulate the masses.  They often take issue with any authoritative system or structure (whether governmental, institutional, organizational, religious or other) that seeks to restrain, dominate, repress or exert power over individuals.  They are not followers and, hence, generally do not do well in service-oriented occupations, prefering instead to be self-employed or in leadership positions.  Socially and at home, they are often uncomfortable with (or outright reject) the mainstream lifestyle.

5.  Deep Interest in Spirituality, Religion, Philosophy, Esoterical Knowledge.  Indigo Elders and Adults have an intense interest in spirituality, religion, philosophy, the occult and paranormal, metaphysics, alchemy, astrology, numerology, arcane mysteries and esoterical knowledge.  For most, this interest began at a young age and culminates into a heartfelt passion later in life.  Many have a profound feeling of needing to find their purpose, change the world, make a difference or create something worthwhile.  Until they find their purpose and method of self-expression, they feel frustrated and restless.  Ultimately, self-expression of their purpose is somehow achieved through spirituality, religion, metaphysics or the like.  Many awakened Indigo Adults and Elders are on the path of Ascension through Lightbody Activation and are Lightworkers
