There is a whole new generation coming into this world with heightened sensitivities and abilities that categorize uniquely as HomoLuminous beings, (beings of Light). From HomoSapien to HomoLuminous, these new children have evolved even beyond what is known as an Indigo Child or Crystal Child. These children not only display the characteristic similarities of Indigos and Crystals, but they also exhibit an even stronger sense of purpose, identity and understanding of the human experience which are also accompanied by specific physical and spiritual sensitivities.
What we are also seeing, is that with this exciting new evolutionary jump, there is also a gap within the understanding, comprehension and sensitivities of their parents or peers. This can create an uncomfortable and oftentimes confusing environment that can potentially compromise not only trust from the child with the parents, but with the child and their closest peers or friends. The result is that the child oftentimes feels isolated or "different", and struggling with proving ones identity or even solidifying ones identity while still a child becomes a challenge that sometimes manifests into rebellious traits. It can also inadvertently cause the child to question his or her "knowing" and internal compass.
To classify a HomoLuminous child, one must point out common traits and characteristics of these children which also include the responses and actions taken by the parents or adult community in relation to the child.
By the age of 2 or 3, there are already signs that the child is different than their siblings. They are inquisitive and observant, but also tend to be incredibly independent, almost to the point of rebellion, as though they are head strong and already know what they want, how they want it and why. And with that trait, they find themselves as little adults, capable of decision making yet still young in a child's body in which parents enter a power struggle. Who really is the boss? Who is the one in control? Although this form of rebellion is seen in both boys and girls, this is manifest mainly with little girls. Their speech is incredibly astute and well thought out. They have a way of articulating advice to adults in a comprehensive form and it leaves the parent to wonder how the child could possibly be so reasonable or wise based on their ability to assess situations that would logically appear too mature in nature for them to understand.
Other characteristics of this age group, especially in boys, manifests with late speech patterns or development. The child is so incredibly intuitive, that he/she already experiences a form of telepathic communication to relay what they want and need so they look at verbal language as a secondary form of communication, rather than primary. They can actually even become a bit lazy when it comes to dialogue and figure that it is not so important to develop verbal conversation when he or she can clearly communicate in ways that are much more natural. There is a sense from the parent that they just "know" what the child wants or needs at that time and it is common in which throughout the day or night that both parents and children know what the other needs or wants at the time they are "thinking" it or "feeling" it. What occurs as concern for the parent however, is the late speech development. It is not as though the child is unresponsive, but rather, the child does not return the same form of verbal communication. Medically, traditionally, and socially, there are milestones children make at certain ages that determine their growth and development and it is common for parents, based on these circumstances, to question if their child is a late bloomer or even developmentally disabled.
When this occurs, most often the child exhibits other characteristics that are often misinterpreted as signs of Autism. For example; sensitivity to light, texture, sound, and vibration. Their bodies are so incredibly sensitive that it appears they are experiencing something abnormal or even painful, which brings into question the health and well being of the child. However, these children have merely been born with a heightened sensitivity with their traditional five senses of sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing that extends beyond into sensitivities with non physical vibrational energies such as the energies of emotion, thought and even spirit.
While Autism is a medically legitimate growing concern for many parents, there are some children whose sensitivities mask Autism and there are key ways to identify the differences which parents are encouraged to research classic symptoms and behaviors before a conclusion of diagnosis is reached.
At the age of 5-7, the child begins to experience "encounters" during their dream state. It is common that they begin wetting, sleepwalking, having night terrors, insomnia, or a general sense of being watched. They are observant and responsive to energy changes around them and it commonly manifest through their dream state. It is not uncommon for these children to exhibit regressive behavior as well, being extra clingy to a parent at bed time, or talking about how they hear, see, or feel people around them when they are alone. It is also common for them to exhibit unusual fears of the dark, or even the opposite as a fascination with the dark, asking probing questions about what lies in the shadows. At this age, they are sensing the energies and vibrations of others, both living and passed. It is very common for these children, especially at night, to wander into the parents room claiming to have seen something or someone. They will also speak of deceased relatives, claiming they were visited by loved ones who had died, including those they never knew in life, but recognized. For example, a child wakes in the middle of the night and runs into the parents room claiming to have had a dream that grandpa came to visit and as they describe grandpa, it is baffling to the parent because although the description is accurate in every detail, they cannot understand how the child would just know when the grandpa passed away several years before the child's birth. There is little explanation beyond the childs experience to explain the encounter other than that it really was a visitation.
At this age, the potential for imaginary friends is very high, although not all experience this. Those that do, become even more engaged with non verbal or communicative responses to their parents and friends. They can be found in a room full of children but sitting in a corner by themselves. They react differently to the children around them, which can also affect how they play or even the desire to play with others. They are choosy and selective and it wounds them deeply on an emotional level when other children are mean or rough with them. It is also equally observant with their sudden trust or mistrust of adults. They have an inner knowing if someone is "good" or "bad" and will respond to their initial impression. In boys, some parents become concerned about "feminine" traits due to the child's sensitivity; frequent crying, or not wanting to wrestle.
With girls, they become even more maternal. Instead of just playing with dollies, they take on a role of caregiver to those around them which extends into the desire to do housework, cook, or care for their parents when they are sick.
Both boys and girls take it upon themselves a deep personal sense of responsibility which leads to the next characteristic.
These children are especially sensitive to intention and the silent language of emotion from and with others. One example of this comes with parental relationships. When parents fight, the child knows. They have an innate sense of the real story, regardless of what the parent says is going on. The body of the child is like a microphone and the electromagnetic current of the parents emotion streams through to the child, where the child then receives that signal and responds accordingly. It is not a surprise for the child to approach the mother who is visibly upset, and ask the mother why she is upset or why she and daddy are fighting, even if the argument took place outside the child's range of hearing or visibility. It is when the mother, to spare the child's emotional well being, lies to the child and says that everything is fine, does the child then begin to question what he or she clearly "knows" is the real truth. Life is transparent to them. Emotion is transparent and they see, hear, and feel what is happening in their circle of influence whether or not it is confirmed by those in that circle.
Because of this, the child takes on a deep sense of personal responsibility if there is disharmony in the family. Because they can sense what is wrong, they also have a sense to fix it and make it right. Even as young as 3 or 4 years of age, these children are known to approach the parent, hug them, and acknowledge the truth to what is taking place. There are no secrets with these children and lying is something that wounds them deeply, even if they are lies told to spare the feelings of the child. If or when this occurs, and how often, determines the trust the child maintains for the parents. If the child realizes they are being lied to, a defensive posture emerges and the child then becomes secluded within their own understanding of the world around them. They divide themselves, protecting themselves from those who are actually there to protect them. This sense of division due to mistrust, can often lead to other forms of rebellion which usually later manifest through poor grades, poor appetite or the disassociation with eye contact, verbal acknowledgment or touch. These children view touch as being just as important as words. Touch is communication and form of intimacy and when the trust is betrayed, touch is denied.
More often than not, in family groups where there is more than one child, not all children are HomoLuminous. Although the numbers of such are on the strong increase, it is still common that only one or two of multiple siblings have this range of sensitivity and it can create a dysfunction with compatibility. However, the more the children are tended to individually, the more harmony can be established.
Harmony and understanding is key when addressing compatibility with these children. It is important that their inner knowing is acknowledged and they are given the opportunity to show adults just what they're capable of, despite their age or size. Asking and speaking to them, instead of delivering orders and talking at them will solve many misunderstandings and temperamental situations.
There is a fine line of balance between control and freedom that is appropriate to administer with these children and so long as there is a harmonic accord of give and take, compromise and trust, so much can be established that is positive for both parent and child. But trust is the key. We as parents must trust that the child knows his or her truth as they tell it. And as children, they must trust that the parent has their best interest at heart. Finding a middle ground can be attained. Patience, exploration and a willingness to see through their eyes can give us the tools we need to succeed and move forward with a healthy expression of family unity.
