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

Indigo Soul: The Adult or Elder Role in the Dawning of a New Age

You may have heard of Indigo children.  You may have heard that they are somehow very different.  While a relatively good amount of attention has recently been given to Indigo (as well as Crystal) children, not much is really known or published about Indigo Adults or Elders.  Perhaps this is due to the fact that even though Indigo Adults and Elders have been here for decades, they themselves have not realized who or what they are.  As more Indigo Elders and Adults "awake", there is more interest and speculation about their nature and purpose here on Planet Earth.

And, there are more questions:  Who are these Indigo Elders, Adults and Children?  Do they really exist?   Are they really different?  How are they different?  What unique traits do they possess?  Why are they here?  Am I one of them?  Is the person who I love one of them?

I am an Indigo Elder, born in 1962, and this Article is the first of several that I plan to write on the subject in the hope of reaching others who have incarnated as Indigo Elders and are searching for answers.

Presently, we are nearing the end of the Piscean Age and transiting into the Aquarius Age.  Among the experts, there are differences of opinion, debates and discussions as to when the Aquarius Age will actually begin.  From my perspective, the actual date or even the actual year does not matter because I am seeing it in the larger scheme of things, and because I feel that a New Age, with all of its shifts and tremendous changes, is nearly upon us. 

Like many other Indigo Elders, what I do see is a world that is rapidly changing on all fronts and the rate of change is significantly accelerating as we approach the New Age.  In order to "see" the changes that are coming, all one has to do is take an interest in global social trends, environmental events, economics and politics.  Anyone can "see" if they only pay attention.  However, Indigos were born with this knowledge.

This mention of our evolving world is very simplistic but extremely important when discussing Indigos because it is the very reason why they are here.  Indigo Elders were incarnated on Earth to assist in the transformation, or the "great shift" as some call it.  They are among the first on the path of human evolution that is beginning to take place.  Indigos are remarkably intuitive, extraordinarily sensitive and exceptionally emotionally intense.  They possess insights, understandings and knowledge of the world and humanity at the deepest levels.  They are fiercely independent, resist authority and separate themselves from "the herd".

The life path of an Indigo Elder is a not always an easy one.  Indigos are often gravely misunderstood, ostracized or even outright rejected.  Their actions and ideas are often criticized and spurned.  Some Indigo Elders themselves do not understand why they feel so different and many experience a crisis when they "awaken" and/or during the transition to Crystal.

However, the Indigo Elder is a beautiful, loving, compassionate Old Soul and the awakened Elder or Adult is usually on the path of Ascension through the process of Lightbody Activation.  Many Indigo Elders carry out their mission on Earth through Lightwork.
