@dtab321 Thanks. I absolutely agree with you. As much as I love MJK's music, I do not have to agree with his opinions. I respect that other people won't like this video because my message does not conform to their ideas about MJK's meaning, or their opinions about the Indigo Children in general. But, I think music is open to interpretation. This video was never meant as a reflection of MJK's worldview. I don't even claim to know what his worldview is, the song is merely a vehicle for my message.
@dtab321 lol, funny cause most of it IS people personal opinions, he never says much, yet people try and interpret all these deep meanings when the lyrics are just lyrics, nice try at being a philosopher tho
I quite like the message here. I'm a "believer" in the new wave of Humanity, but I absolutely agree with the maker of the video: Indigo Children is just another box for us to put another generation into... helping to fuck up their heads.
@Brandon75689 Ever heard of creativity ? It's not like Tool is meant for every dumbass listening to 'mainstream' you know... do you listen to 'mainstream' music ?
@W4rr4X the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality, progressiveness, or imagination:
Thats the definition of creative. I don't see it having progressiveness, I don't think this is meaningful because its full of drug motivation to me and this isn't really original. I am not saying he is copying or not being original its just nothing too out there.
@mentosC4 indigo children just have a higher conscience then most ppl, haveing supernatural abilities doesn't apply 2 what they are theres 5 characteristics 2 determine if there an indigo and supernatural abilities isn't 1 of them its just what scientists labeled the special children the founder of the theroy actually made a book about it
Indigo children is a pseudo scientific label given to children who are claimed to possess special, unusual and/or supernatural traits or abilities. These beliefs range from their being the next stage in human evolution or possessing paranormal abilities such as telepathy to the belief that they are simply more empathic and creative than their peers. There are no scientific studies to give credibility to the existence of any indigo children, or their traits.
I need images for a project. Where do I get the picture of 1:02. That one struck home for someone watching it and felt it would go good with a project.
The Indigo Children movement is not about children, and it is not about the color indigo. It is about adults who style themselves as experts and who are making money on books, presentations and videos.
The Indigo Children movement is not about children, and it is not about the color indigo. It is about adults who style themselves as experts and who are making money on books, presentations and videos.
As stated in text above by the author of the video:

@ToOlOGT22 since you wanted specifics....please message me under this profile....i'll send you links to info on youtube that explains in detail so you that you arrive at your own conclusions.
indigo children....everyone takes the lable too seriously, we are all here on the earth for this end cycle....and the souls incarnating now are specificaly here for this, and have been waiting quite a while, that is it !!no better no worse
endlessnameless16 well im pretty sure the native americans would remember the million of people detroyed by the usa also. not to mention the billions that have been slaughtered in the name of jesus. whats ur deffinition of ethic cleansing? where are the pegains,roman god,the norse gods. and i would consider this war to be the same and the crusades.
i dont care if they exist or not! we have came to the point where we have to decide wich path to go...its stupid to still be waiting to be saved by obamas indigos budas jesus whatever..we have two hands two eyes and a brain....if they help cool..if they not we are beeings with gifts! open your eyes O.O sheeple
I love the song, but don't agree with your video. Read about 'indigo children' this is not about indoctrination of the youth, it is about a new breed of human beings coming to this plane, a new step in human evolution. The song makes a whole lot more sence when you understand what maynard is talking about, it ties in with all his other music if you do a little research. Enjoy the song with new ears :)
Thanks for the comment. Again I will say that Maynard's personal opinion on the veracity of the Indigo Children movement does not really concern me. I interpret the song as a skeptic. I view the Indigo Children as just another quasi-religion that teaches children a set of pre-formulated doctrines. The Indigo Children are apparently a 'new breed' of beings with a higher consciousness etc. None of these claims have been empirically verified and, therefore, I rightly remain skeptical. Thanks again.
@AlanAyazyam The Indigo Children movement is not about children, and it is not about the color indigo. It is about adults who style themselves as experts and who are making money on books, presentations and videos.
I never though I'd say this but your criticism is too wide and in some case far fetched I give you credit for pointing out the left wing cult indoctrination, the religious extremists, and yes even the extreme right (key word extreme). But than you assume religion, patriotism, and authority in and of it self is evil, thus a bit too wide of a view.
Fair criticism. I am not of the view that patriotism is necessarily evil, but it can be used to facilitate nationalism, divisiveness and ethnocentricity. I think the point of this video is more to show the multifarious ways in which different cultures incorporate children into the mindset of the last generation rather than teaching them to think critically. I am not trying to say that patriotism, authority and religion are necessarily evil. Thanks for the critique.
As a seventies New Age cult survivor I have to say that you've hit the nail on the head. I had hoped that the insanity was over with the restoration of quasi-normal social conditions in the US, but I see that things are even worse than they were then. People from my former cult are still having reunions and arguing over whether they are "special" or not. Your comparison with Hitler Youth is just perfect. (Google "Brotherhood of the Spirit").
Great image/song mix. Indeed, if a child is told he is chosen/more intelligent/[fill in the blank] because of his race, religion, etc., for all intents and purposes, he is an indigo child.
A lot of people are in stress (high alpha to high beta to gamma brain wave state, burn out). They by definition shouldn't have a definite say on whether psychic abilities exist. They lack the will to meditate. It has been proven that alpha and theta brain waves penetrate solid objects and water. All you 'have' to do is meditate and then see your true limitations.
WOW.... This is video, is completely wrong for the song. The song is about the Indigo Children, and how they will supposedly change the way we think...
There is no evidence to suggest that 'indigo children' will change the way we think, or that they possess any special or supernatural attribute. To me, it is relatively obvious that the 'indigo children' spiritual movement is just another unfounded religion, or quasi religion, that can be easily grouped with other religious movements that also indoctrinate children. My intent with this video was not to convey MJK's meaning, but to use the song as a backdrop for my own message. Think critically.
I am not saying the Indigo Children are real. i am simply stating the truth. Also, a common characteristic of "Indigo's" is "rejection of authority, and a lack of response to guilt-, fear- or manipulation-based discipline."
That in mind. I don't see how you linked them to Hitlers youth!
Seems akin to linking rising temperatures and pirates.
Because, like the Hitler Youth, these so called 'indigo children' are being indoctrinated into a belief system rather than being taught to think critically. There is no evidence to suggest that they are indigo children, but they are told they are by psuedo-scientists and new-agers.
It's true some mentally ill kids are being called Indigo by their parents so they can feel good bout themselves.
But by the simple definition of "Indigo Children", I my self would be one. As the description fits me perfectly. When someone tries to "Indoctrinate" me, I tend to do the opposite of what they want.
Because I am dead on in the description of being an "Indigo", logic would say many of the other children are like me. If they are like me, I doubt they will be indoctrinated into anything.
Dragonddff: Your rejection of authority makes you more vulnerable to this type of indoctrination, not less. I hope for your sake you never find out how true this is. Probably never heard of Manson, huh?
Give me a break. Nothing -- nothing -- compares to the "Indigo Children" of the Nazis. They were respectable Germans who recognized authority. Perhaps if they would have questioned authority a little bit Germany and the world could have avoided the devastation of WWII.
What I am saying is that people drop out of society or become part of counter-culture, and right away they have to appoint a leader for themselves. So in this respect people who believe in Indigo Children and other New Age nonsense are no better than right wing fundamentalists. Everyone believes that he or she is an individual, but very few are so. Besides, this song is probably sarcastic in intent, as sarcastic as "Sour Grapes" on the same album. Don't you think so?
Actually, I do agree with the spirit of your post -- the extremes on both ends meet to a certain extent. It's just that I get sick of comparisons of various groups to the Nazis, the most murderous group to ever exist, and, to be honest, I sympathize with hippies. I think the 60s philosophy, if it were actually applied and greed didn't win out, would have produced a better society than what we have now. Cults, though, they're scary. Glad you got out, dude.
Mr. Wong, Think of Charles Manson. No one would dispute that he is/was a "hippie". Getting breakfast from dumpsters, living on a ranch in the middle of nowhere, inseminating dozens of girls, writing "political piggy" on the wall in blood. Sixties philosophy is impossible. We need government to counteract -natural- human greed. Sometimes the cure is almost as bad as the illness, but we found in the sixties and seventies that at least it isn't worse.
As for if I agree that the so called indigo children are a quasi religion, indeed, but a true one. :) I can remote view and have some other psychic abilities.
I can agree that meditation is useful. I have been thinking about taking it up myself. Not in a spiritual way, just as a way of relaxing my mind and body.
I really like it how the majority focus is on white kids and their parents beliefs. I counted 25 images to 13 images of minorities(non euro or christian). Not that I agree with those beliefs.Whats the real message with this video? Shitty video had to go screw up a good song.
I am glad it affected you to the extent that you went to the trouble to tally up the 'minority/caucasian' ratio. To be honest, race didn't even cross my mind when I made this video, so I am not sure if your observation says more about me and my video than it does about you. But, of course you are entitled to your view. Thanks for watching ;)
Not that I was aware first couple of times I saw it myself, But the subconcious is a powerful thing. Evrerybody is a little prejudice ;P. no hard feelings. I have relatives of African,euro and latino ancestry.
I agree that we all a little prejudice. But, perhaps we sometimes look too hard for instances of prejudice, with good intentions, and when we do this maybe we identify prejudice when it is not really there. I do take your point, however. Though I thought that in my video that I did try to show examples of all kinds of ways the various cultures and ideologies tend to indoctrinate the young rather than teaching them to think critically. Not my best video and I accept your feedback, thanks.
wow, this video is kinda shocking... this is the Old Empire, and a lot of bad things happen in it. i hope the indigo children will change it for real. but it will cost a lot of pain and work for them.
hmmm... This is JMHO but "The Indigo Children" are supposed to be the generation of children who are INdoctrinable. They are kids who will grow up to challenge and defeat the status quo.
I started working on my own video for this song last week and I got online to see if anyone else had made one: I don't think our two videos could be any more different LOL
That said, the actual content is pretty masterful and captivating - lovely work, I just don't think it goes with the song at all!
Thanks for your opinion. That is the great thing about a piece of art, it can be interpreted in many different ways. For a skeptic like me, I would interpret the song in a different way than a believer in the indigo children. I think Maynard's lyrics leave it wide open, but even if my interpretation is the opposite of Maynard's meaning, I still think the song is a good vehicle for what I am trying to get across.
Thanks for the compliment! Would be interested to see your version if you put it up
I will keep in touch! I think it'll be a couple of months (I have to share the laptop right now) but I'll send it your way when I finish it.
Also upon second viewing, I have to say that it DOES go with the song - because the song is sort of dark and foreboding like a mantra of some darkly possessed person who believes they are here to "save the world" and that's really what a lot of extremists believe - they are like, possessed by their own beliefs - it makes a lot of sense!
I mean i think personaly that these so called indigo children are people that can transcend petty conflict and come up with solutions much easier, think about it studeis have concluded that every genration since the baby boomers are smartter at a younger age than the predicesors. I also think it's dark because of the end of the world or many have come to beleive it will end in 2012 anyway, what if this is significant because a super race will come forth? not the begining of the end but anew?
i'm not sure i can relate to this. The lyric states "fare thee well to the Empire," This point of view is really pessimistic in that sense. Instead, a video integrating pagan and natural ceremonies and community celebrations would express a message that the lyrics themselves can portray. Of course this is just my opinion, but geez, indigio children victims of ethno-centracism? That's a bit of an oxymoron in my books...
I agree that pagan rituals would be more in tune with the ostensible message of this song. However, I have taken the liberty of reading between the lines, and right or wrong, this is my own interpretation. As I have said, I am very sceptical of the Indigo Children phenomenon, I believe it is a sham and just another prominent example of children being indoctrinated with unfounded beliefs. If this isn't the message that Maynard intended, then that if fine with me.
yes, it does state that, as well when there is a chorus loop it does say "fare thee well to the Empire" around 2:50 of the song. Unless i'm completely off my rocker :P
The lyric stating "Fare thee well to the Empire" means saying good bye to the old way of life on this planet that has held us hostage since birth with its dying fascist doctrines of fear and war... so in that way it's optimistic not pessimistic. Say goodbye to the old BS, and in with the new earth of peace and enlightenment.
I agree, as it is the backbone of my opinion. Unless i am to interpret the lyrics as a separate entity from this music video, i do think that this song has an optimistic viewpoint declaring aware and perceptive children that step away from pop culture and develop a collective conscious directed towards a spiritually higher species.
Good point; I believe there is no such thing as Indigo Children because their traits are of all children, so near anyone can consider themselves to be indigo children and therefore "our saviors."
Thanks for the reply...I'm leaning towards your side of interpenetration which seems to be most accurate.
Most people interpret this song as a tribute to indigo children, but what I took from your video is how children are yet again being brainwashed.
The lyrics seem to say that indigo children will save us from the solar catastrophe so I am wondering, why did you come to a conclusion that this song suggests that indigo children is just another term for slavery?
Good question. My song interpretation is probably somewhat skewed by my skepticism towards Indigo Children movement, which I tend to view as just another quasi-religious movement that indoctrinates impressionable children from a young age to believe their specific tenets. It may not have been how the song was meant to be interpreted at all, but the good thing about Maynard's great lyrics is that you can take a lot of different readings from them.

Mr. Wong, Think of Charles Manson. No one would dispute that he is/was a "hippie". Getting breakfast from dumpsters, living on a ranch in the middle of nowhere, inseminating dozens of girls, writing "political piggy" on the wall in blood. Sixties philosophy is impossible. We need government to counteract -natural- human greed. Sometimes the cure is almost as bad as the illness, but we found in the sixties and seventies that at least it isn't worse.

@MrBigwong Excuse me Wong, but Soviet Russia was responsible for at least 30 million deaths by acts of murder and ethnic cleansing.

Very nice! I like your message a lot!
As for if I agree that the so called indigo children are a quasi religion, indeed, but a true one. :) I can remote view and have some other psychic abilities.

Yes. Meditation, however, if done right, for the win.
MaBu888 2 years ago 2
I can agree that meditation is useful. I have been thinking about taking it up myself. Not in a spiritual way, just as a way of relaxing my mind and body.
Tazwegian 2 years ago
A suggestion: go for it! Don't also be thrown off by the multiplistic meaning of the word spirituality.

I really like it how the majority focus is on white kids and their parents beliefs. I counted 25 images to 13 images of minorities(non euro or christian). Not that I agree with those beliefs.Whats the real message with this video? Shitty video had to go screw up a good song.

I am glad it affected you to the extent that you went to the trouble to tally up the 'minority/caucasian' ratio. To be honest, race didn't even cross my mind when I made this video, so I am not sure if your observation says more about me and my video than it does about you. But, of course you are entitled to your view. Thanks for watching ;)

Not that I was aware first couple of times I saw it myself, But the subconcious is a powerful thing. Evrerybody is a little prejudice ;P. no hard feelings. I have relatives of African,euro and latino ancestry.
Lilprof35 2 years ago
I agree that we all a little prejudice. But, perhaps we sometimes look too hard for instances of prejudice, with good intentions, and when we do this maybe we identify prejudice when it is not really there. I do take your point, however. Though I thought that in my video that I did try to show examples of all kinds of ways the various cultures and ideologies tend to indoctrinate the young rather than teaching them to think critically. Not my best video and I accept your feedback, thanks.

wow, this video is kinda shocking... this is the Old Empire, and a lot of bad things happen in it. i hope the indigo children will change it for real. but it will cost a lot of pain and work for them.

hmmm... This is JMHO but "The Indigo Children" are supposed to be the generation of children who are INdoctrinable. They are kids who will grow up to challenge and defeat the status quo.
I started working on my own video for this song last week and I got online to see if anyone else had made one: I don't think our two videos could be any more different LOL
That said, the actual content is pretty masterful and captivating - lovely work, I just don't think it goes with the song at all!

Thanks for your opinion. That is the great thing about a piece of art, it can be interpreted in many different ways. For a skeptic like me, I would interpret the song in a different way than a believer in the indigo children. I think Maynard's lyrics leave it wide open, but even if my interpretation is the opposite of Maynard's meaning, I still think the song is a good vehicle for what I am trying to get across.
Thanks for the compliment! Would be interested to see your version if you put it up
Tazwegian 2 years ago
I will keep in touch! I think it'll be a couple of months (I have to share the laptop right now) but I'll send it your way when I finish it.
Also upon second viewing, I have to say that it DOES go with the song - because the song is sort of dark and foreboding like a mantra of some darkly possessed person who believes they are here to "save the world" and that's really what a lot of extremists believe - they are like, possessed by their own beliefs - it makes a lot of sense!

I mean i think personaly that these so called indigo children are people that can transcend petty conflict and come up with solutions much easier, think about it studeis have concluded that every genration since the baby boomers are smartter at a younger age than the predicesors. I also think it's dark because of the end of the world or many have come to beleive it will end in 2012 anyway, what if this is significant because a super race will come forth? not the begining of the end but anew?

i'm not sure i can relate to this. The lyric states "fare thee well to the Empire," This point of view is really pessimistic in that sense. Instead, a video integrating pagan and natural ceremonies and community celebrations would express a message that the lyrics themselves can portray. Of course this is just my opinion, but geez, indigio children victims of ethno-centracism? That's a bit of an oxymoron in my books...

after i quote the lryic there should be a period, not a comma. Hopefully it clarifies my statement a little more.
mushninja 2 years ago
I agree that pagan rituals would be more in tune with the ostensible message of this song. However, I have taken the liberty of reading between the lines, and right or wrong, this is my own interpretation. As I have said, I am very sceptical of the Indigo Children phenomenon, I believe it is a sham and just another prominent example of children being indoctrinated with unfounded beliefs. If this isn't the message that Maynard intended, then that if fine with me.
Tazwegian 2 years ago
im pretty sure that it says 'no need for the old empire' implying no need for a conquesting empire doomed to war
VigilanteSidekick987 2 years ago
yes, it does state that, as well when there is a chorus loop it does say "fare thee well to the Empire" around 2:50 of the song. Unless i'm completely off my rocker :P
mushninja 2 years ago
The lyric stating "Fare thee well to the Empire" means saying good bye to the old way of life on this planet that has held us hostage since birth with its dying fascist doctrines of fear and war... so in that way it's optimistic not pessimistic. Say goodbye to the old BS, and in with the new earth of peace and enlightenment.
haleymeijer 2 years ago 3
I agree, as it is the backbone of my opinion. Unless i am to interpret the lyrics as a separate entity from this music video, i do think that this song has an optimistic viewpoint declaring aware and perceptive children that step away from pop culture and develop a collective conscious directed towards a spiritually higher species.

this is a fuckin A song.. i listen to it so many damn times while gettin high..... Ha

Good point; I believe there is no such thing as Indigo Children because their traits are of all children, so near anyone can consider themselves to be indigo children and therefore "our saviors."
Thanks for the reply...I'm leaning towards your side of interpenetration which seems to be most accurate.
sentinelG 2 years ago
Most people interpret this song as a tribute to indigo children, but what I took from your video is how children are yet again being brainwashed.
The lyrics seem to say that indigo children will save us from the solar catastrophe so I am wondering, why did you come to a conclusion that this song suggests that indigo children is just another term for slavery?
sentinelG 2 years ago
Good question. My song interpretation is probably somewhat skewed by my skepticism towards Indigo Children movement, which I tend to view as just another quasi-religious movement that indoctrinates impressionable children from a young age to believe their specific tenets. It may not have been how the song was meant to be interpreted at all, but the good thing about Maynard's great lyrics is that you can take a lot of different readings from them.
