As a non-indigo child (or someone who isn't sure how to tell if they are) I want to surround myself with them as I feel there's much they could teach me and much I want to learn but, as I said, not being one, I don't really know how to tell if I'm around one. And I'm quite reserved so going out and talking to everyone I come by wont exactly be easy. Amy tips?

I don’t think you have to be an indigo child to recognize an indigo child. And I don’t think you have to be around an indigo child to learn certain things. There are indigo children, and then there are people who are spiritually conscious and well-learned. You can surround yourself with the latter group and still learn  a lot. Many indigo children have a lot of learning to do and, being early in their journeys, are not yet as conscious as someone who’s been studying for years but isn’t an indigo child. I think just surrounding yourself with open-minded people should do the trick. 

The first thing that comes to mind for tips is to join the Indigo School. And I’m not just saying that because this is the Indigo School, but there are hundreds of indigo children here who chat every day and would love to learn with and from other spiritually conscious people. This way, it’s less intimidating if you’re naturally reserved, because 1. you’re speaking to them online and 2. after a while, their genuine kindness well make you feel at ease. Also, follow people who you know are indigo children or spiritually conscious on social media, and then follow some people who follow them. This can surround you with that kind of energy and help you meet some really cool people.

I'm pretty sure I'm not an indigo but I do feel a calling towards putting effort to be "spiritually awakened." And I've come here for advice. You'll probably tell me that it's different for everyone but are there any tips or examples of how to start on my own journey. Sorry if I'm bothering you

No question is a bother!

The awakening process itself is different for everyone, but there are common catalysts on your journey that usually work for everyone. 

What works best for me is reading. Read as many books as you can on different topics that interest you. Meditation also works very well in connecting you with the universe and bringing moments of epiphany. 

This page has some essential tips that fit what you’re looking for.

In your awakening process did the way other people think so blandly bother you like they don't try to think out of the box at all ?

Most definitely. It bothered me a lot that people were just completely unconcerned with existence, with our experiences and with life, with our origins and where we’re going, with how humans are destroying this planet and the injustices run by capitalism that take place across this world, with the prejudice and just severe lack of love that we have as a collective. It bothered me and it confused me. It frustrated me because not only were they not thinking about these things on their own, but when I talked about it they were upset with me. 

You have to be mindful and learn not to take these things personally. Some people are here to help others awaken, so not everyone is going to be on the same page at the same time. Have empathy for where people are in their awakening and, with love, do the best you can to assist them.

Why do you think there's so much hate and tragedies happening in the world? Aren't we supposed to be awakening? Is there a purpose for that? What do you think?

I don’t know. I do think there’s a purpose for chaos. I think, in life, there will always be duality, and for positive there is always going to be negative. For good, there will always be evil. Polarities are inescapable. 

This might sound super corny, but: my mom always makes fresh juice. We squeeze grapefruits/limes/lemons/oranges to make juice with. She’d always let me stir the sugar into the juice. So I’m stirring the spoon in the pitcher, stirring and stirring in one direction. The juice is spinning with the spoon smoothly, making a perfect little circle of motion in the middle. Then, to help the sugar dissolve better, she tells me to stir in the opposite direction. So now I’m stirring counter-clockwise, but it doesn’t just happen immediately. The smooth spinning stops, and the juice is all mixed up. But eventually, it starts being smooth again in the counter-clockwise direction. 

See where I’m going with this? 

We’ve been asleep for a while. I talked about the motions we go through with this in the Precession of the Equinox lesson; we were in a period of low consciousness for some time. That was the direction we were in. But now we’ve been emerging into something new, a higher consciousness. A new direction. But before we can fully transform, there will be chaos, just like that little period of mix-up when you’re stirring a liquid. 

And like I said earlier, there will always be duality. We’re raising our consciousness, but there is still negativity, still hatred, still division among us. I don’t have all the answers, but my theory is that until we transcend this third-dimensional existence, those things will always be here.
