Let us emphasize that Ryan did not get a "heads up" about this book.  We solicited his comments because we had heard his story, but he was not coached.  His story really was his own, as you can probably tell.  He tells you about his "expansion," and that nobody can understand him, even when he tries to explain what is happening.  This is classic Indigo.  In addition, did you see his humanitarianism?  In the mental ward, he became the helper to the others, who immediately picked up on this.  He also stated,"I will overcome all of this and then show all the other children how to do the same.  I know there is a way."  His concern is to identify so that others can be helped as well.  He intuitively knows that there are others like him.

He was constantly in the "now."  He only focused on what "is," not what will be.  This is also classic Indigo, and is one reason that they cannot see the consequences of their actions.  The Christmas present-opening scenario, the candy store scenario, the desire to just "be": the overwhelming desire to be alone - it all speaks of being in the "now."  This is an expanded awareness for a child, something that often does not come until much later in life.  He had it right away, and it was labeled as "weird."  Ryan said, "I was, and still am, constantly in expansion.  That's what it feels like to be an Indigo."

Ryan could "read" people.  He didn't say much about that since many still feel that this is weird.  To us, it's just the ability to sense energy around people, and make intelligent decisions based on that.  Some adults call it intuition.  He had a good dose of it early, and was frustrated because he could "see" that his teachers and doctors were unbalanced!  What a gift... but what an anchor if not understood.

Ryan felt evolved, but he felt that nobody knew it.  Remember earlier when we told you that Indigo Children feel like royalty? Ryan said he "felt like a king working for a peasant, viewed as a slave."  He is also bitter about school.  What kind of travesty is it to have teachers who don't recognize who you are?
