Dear all of you,

Below you will find an article about the positive uses of labels in relation to Indigos and the Rainbow tribe.

The next Indigo Meeting will take place on Friday, May 27 from 1-2:30 p.m., in my office. The subject of this month’s meeting will be Meditation & your aura.

The attached photo was taken during the start of the Cincinnati Peace Experiment in April. You can learn more about the
event or join this group by visiting www.movementsofpeace.org.

Labels and Their Positive Uses
Your children are not your children -- they are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself, writes Kahlil Gibran
in “The Prophet.” “..You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.”
In the Indigo Children/Rainbow Tribe emergence on earth we often forget that we ourselves - all of us - are Life’s
longing for itself.
To put labels on things, movements, and occurrences is a narrowing down of the longing of life for itself. It stifles creation and freedom. Many Indigos abhor their own label. I do not like it either. Some parents glamorize it in their own children, which
is not healthy. So I’ll attempt to explain why it could be useful to use this label and how to use it well.

“Ming,” do not take the name for the reality
The Taoists call giving things a name “Ming.” They despise it, because of the tendency to take the name for the reality and muddle up our knowing. The moment we label something by giving it a name we limit its expression -- we only see what we see and then call it reality. Like a group of people in a dark room explaining to each other what the elephant in their midst looks like. Each feels a small and different part of the animal. Huge disagreements about the elephant may occur.
Would it have been Shakespeare’s rose, the smell would have been the same, but some would have felt thorns, others the softness of the petals, the sturdiness of the stem or the tickly edges of the leaves. The smell will be forgotten.
Some say a chair is to sit in and may not be used upside down as a makeshift shelter, thus stifling play and creativity.
We often make the tail of the elephant the elephant itself and go on discussing the “duality” of it being or not being an elephant, concluding that the trunk is something else.

Which, by the way, happened with the label “ego” with the result of people trying to figure out if their ego is speaking or not (which is considered “bad”), winding up with an obsessional focus on the ego and the need to decide that “this is not ego,” which is the Ego speaking. This is a nice example of the Taoist notion that everything becomes its own opposite and so stuck in limited perception that a wider research into real meaning is stifled.
We only recognize what we know; the rest escapes our ability to perceive.

Bananas and Shining Discs
Listen to the banana story. It is about an apprentice of a wise person. He had lived his whole life in the woods. His teacher
told him to go and visit a big city. They say it was New Delhi. (I don’t know if there are woods around New Delhi, but hey…)
So he went to visit the hustle and bustle of the city. Market places, houses, cars, bicycles, noises, people, bright colors, dogs, you name it. Coming back, his teacher asked him what he had seen. “A huge heap of bananas, and it was moving,” the apprentice answered. The only thing that he could recognize and that “stuck” in his mind was obviously the load of a truck
filled with bananas. Everything else did not exist and had disappeared (in the not yet recognized memory banks of his cellular/holographic sub- (not yet) consciousness.)

Several weeks ago I suddenly realized that the strange shining discs that I had “seen” when I was a teenager (in the sixties) are the CDs and DVDs that we now use for information storage. Had I tried to figure out what they meant right then, it would have been impossible to come up with the right answer. I just now remember that the first time I saw a “real” CD I had this floating feeling of YUCK one of THOSE things again…
They probably were one of the multitudes of things that I saw that did not belong in the “reality” I grew up with. Which, of course, nobody around me recognized, so I learned to keep silent and attempted not to “see,” not to “know”. That made me feel lonely (and nuts). Thus my unpleasant feelings when I first saw a real CD.

Investigation
I would like to do some investigating. The observations in both cases, the bananas as well as the shining discs, was correct, but the interpretation was lacking. To “store” an observation in our consciousness we have to give it a label, name or description. We usually dump a whole sewage of misinterpretations on a name and make a mess of the meaning. On top of that comes the “Pavlov Reactions” like I had when I first saw a CD, attaching my yucky feelings of loneliness to a simple information storage device.
It is for this reason that no well thinking Indigo wants to be called an Indigo. It would be the same as calling them a moving heap of bananas. Which, of course they are, Indigos, or moving bananas for that matter. The observation that something very special is happening is correct. The observation that they have multi-sensory perception is correct. There are shining discs. We have to be aware of “Ming,” the name/label that has a tendency to become something different than what it stands for.
What we don’t see in the banana story is the hustle and bustle of the big city, the car that moves the bananas. The shining discs don’t have a DVD, CD player, or computer slot where the CDs fit in yet.

Temporary Reality
Remote viewers, psychics, as well as art students are taught to really observe first, without interpretation. A “grey” sky may consist out of purples and greens. The shining disc is not more than that, meaning unknown and even size unknown, until the meaning becomes clear. Every mystery school or shamanic teacher will let their pupils practice “observation”: observe, describe, stop. Observe describe stop. To be followed by making a list of assumptions of what it means or could mean, completed with senses or feelings. Then “perceive” or “intuit” what it could mean. That then is the temporary reality.
Without a name it is very hard to research a subject. A name, label or description may be used as a temporary housing project so that there are “rooms” to store information. With all those precautions I use labels like Indigo and Rainbow Tribe.

A Resting Place
And what a nice feeling it can be to find a “name” for what is going on. A resting place, a recognition, an AHA, a place to breathe and sit back. That is how it works for many “Indigos,” even though they do not like the label. The fact that they belong to a group of humans with a high frequency and acute multi-sensory perception makes a lot of sense to them and their loved ones. It opens up to further investigation.
