A new kind of person is beginning to be identified in the population. They are known as "Indigo" people. I have studied what they say about themselves for several years now, and I have come to the astonishing conclusion that they are probably multiple wombtwin survivors: that is, they had at least two other embryos with them in the womb as they were developing. By means of my questionnaire in 2002 I quickly discovered there there were three groups of wombtwin survivors. At first I called them M types (mourning) C types (captive) and D types who were a kind of mixture of the two - I guessed then that these may be the survivors of a multiple pregnancy, but there was of course no proof and I knew so little then. I just held this in mind. Now I know that these groups represent the fraternal, identical and multiple wombtwin survivors, respectively.
If it is true that at least 10 % of pregnancies are twin or multiple pregnancies producing one child, then there are more than 600 million wombtwin survivors in the world. 10% of the population is a huge group and I have wondered how they may be identified. Some of them have identified themselves as "twinless twins" and of course many others have come to this site and identified themselves as "wombtwin survivors." There is however a much more homogeneous group who can identify themselves as "indigo people."
An indigo person is gifted in extraordinary ways.
If you are an indigo, your mind constantly races, filled with a constant tumbling stream of fresh ideas. You are highly creative and imaginative and easily use and understand metaphor. You are hyper-sensitive, hyper-intuitive and hyper-aware, to the extent of being psychic. When with other people you readily become attuned to their feelings and you have accurate empathy with them. You have a sense of the pain in others and in a desire to heal their pain you may carry it away from that encounter as if it were your own. Your hypersensitivity and imagination can undermine your ability to trust in others as you constantly scan their body language, or can enable to you to pick out a soul mate at one glance. You can sense changes in atmosphere and often answer unspoken questions or carry out unspoken requests.
Some issues are particularly difficult - disappointed expectations and unfairness in particular. Rather than disappoint someone else you will walk that extra mile for them but then be disappointed when they wont do the same for you. If people are not treated equally then this enrages you - you deeply resent labels, rules and any constraints unequally applied to you or to others.
Indigos are often preoccupied with certain social or environmental problems. Their lives are characterised by a prevailing sense of unease, a sense of "knowing", but not knowing what they do know.
Above all the indigo feels alone, different, abandoned and far from home. Life is a painful struggle to find the lost world of the past, where everything was once whole and good. Driven by a deep sense of mission to heal the world and everyone in it, the indigo seeks to heal pain wherever it can be found, on a rescue mission through which the indigo can also be saved. For them, the woundedness becomes the gift, and that is the healing.
This kind of person is not new
There are echoes in the most ancient myths about wounded healers people possessing extraordinary gifts and hyper-awareness.
Here is the story of Cheiron, the wounded healer, as described in the Greek myths. We find him today in the Indigo, and with the help of wombtwin survivor theory, we can see how that lifelong wound may be healed.
When a twin dies before birth, the sole survivor needs help and understanding. Womb twin survivors are the sole survivors of a twin or multiple pregnancy. This group, 1 in 10 of the population, includes survivors of a stillbirth, miscarriage, abortion and a "vanishing twin" pregnancy. It is a story of a twin bond broken by death, leaving a lonely survivor.
