Jenny McCarthy: Indigo Mom.

She's into the indigo nonsense. Her site says that her 3 year old is a crystal child. It also says that, "Most children today are Indigos." So if everyone is above average, then no one is.:p

Jenny McCarthy is hot. So I am willing to look past all of this.

Quoting from that site:Let me explain Quantum Radiance. This practice combines the Quantum SCIO and Angel Therapy. The Quantum SCIO is an energetic health system and is based on Quantum Physics technology. Quantum is defined as energy and physics is the science of energy. The word SCIO means to know in Latin. By using computer technology, the SCIO scans the body from head to toe; emotionally, physically and spiritually in a matter of minutes. I compile your complete analysis after which the SCIO applies multiple energy therapies throughout the body, creating a holistic balance.


Earth to planet Nicole! Reckon you should lay off the wacky-weed!

GASP! I'm sorry you didn't like it. I thought it was brilliant, and the QTE (Quick Timed Event) system was spot-on. A great story, too. True, it took me about a half-hour learning curve, and I TOTALLY didn't see the bloody shirt he was wearing on the floor (then again, I failed the clairvoyance QTE) when you have to hide the evidence after the opening scene. I emphatically implore you to give it another go, it's the closest idea to an interactive film that I've seen. After a second go you still don't like it, can't blame you, but I do feel it's worthy of a second go, like "Beyond Good and Evil." I'd LOVE to see a sequel to that! Here's Wikipedia's entry on it, originally titled "Fahrenheit": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo_Prophecy

Oh believe me, I won't change my mind. I played it all the way through, and the story was one of the worst I've ever seen. They tried way too hard to combine all sorts of concepts, and they utterly failed. The love scene near the end, for example, was the epitome of contrived cheesiness. And the AI entity thing... LAME! This game is a perfect example of bad writing by a bunch of nerds.
It started out pretty cool, but it got way too over the top. As for the QTE, it was amusing, but it got repetitive and dull very fast. For a cinematic game, I'll stick with the Metal Gear Solid series. ;)

Edit: so uh... my question was, what IS an Indigo Child anyway?
 
Ugh.

Just, ugh.

Posted by Lisa G.

I knew my son was spiritually connected when he was about six years old. One evening while we were cleaning up after dinner and he was using his creative energy to draw powerful creatures on paper, he asked me a question, “Mom, do you remember when you were the child and I was the parent?” Well, that question sure stopped me in my tracks.

I'm betting that would be most of the your child's childhood.

Some years later when he was a bit older he would come home from school and tell me about psychic experiences of knowing things were about to happen before they happened. Being open to psychic experiences, I would reassure him that he was in fact experiencing true psychic moments.

Leaving aside many of the obvious problems; how is Lisa qualified to be sure her son was experiencing true psychic moments? How could she be so sure? Just because she was "open" to it?

He is 19 years old now and during the past two years I’ve been able to start dialogues with him about spirituality, the Flower of Life, the higher self and the etheric world.
[snip]
We talk about my experiences with meditation and communication with Angels and Ascended Masters. He recognizes the truth in what I tell him and he is enthusiastic about his own journey going forward.

So this is more about Lisa G., and her wanting to be special, and her wanting her little boy, and her experiences with Angels and such. I fear her boy has a difficult adulthood in store.

Meanwhile, over in General Discussion, Eos is a bad mom for not believing in something (anything will do).

Again I say, ugh.
 
Oh please.
My daughter draws pictures of when I was the baby and she was holding me.
I'm willing to bet most children do this.
She also says things like, "When I'm the grown up and I can do whatever I want...."

I don't think it's hard to see where the motivation for these types of fantasies come from.

This is a perfect illustration of a very common cause for all those "my kid has past-life memories" claims - the fact that young children often get their past. present and future tenses mixed up in speech.
For instance, one of my kids once said to me "When I was big, I go swimming!" It didn't take long to establish that she meant to say "When I am big...". But if I was a believer in reincarnation, I wouldn't have bothered to find that out, and would soon have been coaching her in producing more "past-life memories".
 
An example of this emerged in a 2006 article in the Dallas Observer which covered the Indigo Child phenomenon. The reporter observed an 8-year-old boy named Dusk quizzed by a man on his "indigo" status:
"Are you an indigo?" he asked Dusk. The boy looked at him shyly and nodded. "I'm an avatar," Dusk said. "I can recognize the four elements of earth, wind, water and fire. The next avatar won't come for 100 years." The man seemed impressed.

...And he, of course, didn't ask Dusk if he could Bend any of those elements. Also could've asked if he could remember any of his other incarnations, say. . .oh I dunno, Aang? How about Roku? If he had any children who watched "Avatar: The Last Airbender", he'd know where Dusk was coming up this "spiritual" information.

Edit: A very good show, btw. Good for all ages!

Have you thought of writing to the author of the article? I would suggest that he watch the opening credits to Avatar. It would take 5 minutes of his time, and the author would get some insight into why Dusk(?) is saying what he's saying. Dusk might actually benefit from being told that Avatar and any other fantasy/sci fi cartoons he watches are not real rather than being told that he's an Indigo Child.

And yeah, Avatar is a cute show. ;) Most kids I know who watch it only pretend they're the characters, however...
 
No, I actually hadn't thought of that, I believe I just might. It's important to foster our children's imaginations, but it's irresponsible to reinforce a fantasy as reality. Children can grow up to be creative, responsible adults without any "specialness." We are all special, but that doesn't mean I'm going to convince any child of mine they're the next generation of Stan Lee Mutants(TM).

Invitation that Indigo Moms Apply For The Million

I sent an email to Indigo Moms suggesting they apply for the challenge. Here's the text of my note:

The James Randi Educational Foundation investigates paranornal claims, like the existence of Indigo Children, and offers a one million dollar prize if such claims can be shown to be real. I think the Indigo Children claim is formally testable and money won could be invested in furthering research into the Indigo phenomenon -- a very good thing!

I would think that the only reason to not apply would be fear that the Indigo phenomenon is not real, or that one's own child is not an Indigo. So if one is completely confident that one's child is Indigo, then one should rush to apply. To hesitate is to admit doubt.

One can learn about the prize by visiting this web site: http://www.randi.org/

...then click on the $1 million Paranormal Challenge button at the top.

To apply, read the rules, send in the application with notarized applications and the other necessities, and the application will be able to reach the next step.

Even though application processing is temporarily on hold, it seems like a good idea to have the application on the challenge desk when it resumes.

Good luck!

This is my second such pinging of paranormal claimants (the first was the time traveling chiropractor). Suggestions on attitude and wording of such third party invitations are welcome.

Of course I'll relay any replies from invitees here.
 
So apparently Jenny McCarthy's "Indigo Child" is autistic. How does this square with Indigo Child "theory"?
 
What's interesting is that the Autism Society of America claims 1 in 150 births is affected by autism, yet only 1 in 1,000 students are identified as being autistic. That's why I question the idea that her son is autistic. She's just jumping on whatever bandwagon she needs to in order to explain her child's behavior.

One rarely mentioned fact about autistic children is that 75% of them also have mental retardation. Perhaps this is the most accurate diagnosis of her son?
