You Are Not Alone

You are not alone!

I want to shout this from the rooftops. I want everyone who has ever felt like no-one could understand them, who felt bewildered by this world and totally alone amongst people who didn't feel you deep inside, to know that they are not alone.

I'm Andrew, and I was disoriented, angry, and sick for most of my life. I'm twenty now, and these last two years have felt to me like Harry Potter suddenly finding out he's part of a world of wizards and witches.
It's kind of like that, you know. We awakened indigos and crystals, lightworkers, highly conscious people. We wait until you are ready to hear it. And then the Universe makes us cross paths, and we tell you what you are.

The new consciousness is springing up in pockets around the world. Those of us who have the seed of it are called together, and we make connections. Most of us make new soul-families and new social lives. Some of us live together.

About 1 person in 1000 is indigo (according to the Law of One, which refers to indigo souls as “Wanderers”, and my own intuitive guesses). If you send out the wrong vibes into the universe, you might not meet any of them. If you attract them with your vibe, you can make a very strong and connected social life.
This sort of network of support is SO powerful and so beautiful, I can't explain it. With my soul family I finally have the physical contact I need, the love, and the understanding. Because of my inclinations, I explore the world of free love with those who are open to it. I also do projects together, live together for periods of time, talk together...

Love and Oneness is definitely not to be shared only with those like you, Earth Angels, but when you need to rest – to get what you need – and to learn and understand yourself, coming into contact with those like you is so vital.

When we are strong, we can – in fact, we must – bring our power and love to the world of those who are less connected than us. I think we all have this calling, with the possible exception of a few whose place is to act as support for others like them. And while we can't be happy without the love of those who truly understand us, we can't be happy without meaning to our lives either – and our souls have chosen some very definite things they have wanted to accomplish down here.

Your life will really flower when you connect with those like you, beautiful one. For me, that's when it all started, where the whole chain reaction of growth and awakening and discovering who I was happened.
The internet is great for connecting, by the way. Or else you wouldn't be reading this! I think this medium is so powerful to get us together, even physically. In the last few months I met two new members of my soul family who I'd met through the internet, one in Portugal, one in France. It was amazing.
My French friend actually conducts almost all of her social life through the internet. She talks on Skype for hours on end, and even falls in love online (I have, too :).

But I think it's in real life where the really amazing stuff happens. You can touch. You can share in the very workings of your lives. You can create things together. And you can make love, and you can even create families together. But for those who are shy to get out of the house or have never met another like them, what can we do?

It's a little hard to describe how I made my transformation from hermit to socially very active person (both with indigos and with native Earth souls) in words. It was an opening up... a decision to experience the world even if it hurt me. At the time I didn't have much choice, I'd gone to rock bottom and it was start to do something or just drop dead. Going to rock bottom is comforting somehow, you know you can't go any deeper :)
So I changed my environment, moved to a new city, and went on adventures. I was avoiding a job in the System where someone would imply a caste on me at all costs. So I did all sorts of stuff, and met all manner of people. I lived in squats for a while. Did some energy healing work. All sorts of stuff.

I met the first of those like me that year. And so many! Aris was one, someone who reflected the unstable, dark/light conflict inside of me. She also showed me what a great psychic could be like.
I met her as she passed through as a traveller in the squat I was staying at. Soon after she left the squat – way too soon after to be a coincidence – she passed away. She was the highly sensitive person who got hurt too much by this world to go on, I think. I send her my love even now and I hope it's going well, wherever she is. When I tune into her now I see galaxies... I think she is very far away.

I met others too. One who is only opening up in friendship with me now, who had her own reasons to not connect with me strongly from the outset. Somehow the Universe just kept reflecting me the energies I was sending out, and I wasn't ready yet to find out what I was. But eventually I met a friend who has been a close brother to me for a long time, who told me that I was an indigo child. It took a while for me to come to grips with this, but eventually I realised this self understanding was one of the most powerful things I could have ever learnt.

I used this word to find others like me on the internet, and in meet ups in real life. I even put up ads in the local version of Craigslist and met with people who resonated with the list of traits I put up. Somehow, everywhere indigos and lightworkers were coming out of the woodwork.

Now I'm going back to live in Barcelona with my indigo brother from Portugal. I have a big web of contacts and it expands every day. I feel so blessed to be so supported. When I searched around for people who could help us while we were looking for a place in Barcelona, I got offers to stay at their place from two friends. I've known them for a few months (!) but really it seems like I've known them forever. And I guess I have. <3

So for those who want some practical advice finding high consciousness friends:

1. Open up. Stop defending yourself against the world. This energy makes you contract and makes your life smaller, and you have less wonderous things in it to enjoy.

Start expecting wonderful stuff. Look in expectation and not dread to the things you don't know. Open up the space of the unknown. Go to it. Explore and create, don't just defend. Shine your light out there.

2. Express yourself. Get out there. Do what you do.

I met one indigo in a squat which was full of high consciousness activities and a sense of righteous rebellion. I met a couple of others in spiritual meet ups. I met a load more in an indigo meetup... and just going out with the friends I already had, and meeting their friends.

If you do what you do, and go to the places that resonate with you, chances that those who share your energy will be attracted to those same places.

3. Express your desire to find those like you.

Tell the Universe what you want. Manifest it. But even more than that, get word out there. My advert in the Craigslist-analogue was a perfect example of this. Try Facebook groups for indigos and indigo forums online. And stay in tune for any indigo meetups in your city. They may be organised online or through spiritual type social centres. If there aren't any and you feel powerful, then get out there and start an indigo meetup and publicise it heavily. Word spreads. :)

Getting your desire out there, physically, in the world, is energetically a very powerful, resonant thing to do.

4. Know and love yourself

If you don't know and love yourself, people won't find you. Of course, without them you may not learn to know and love yourself... but you can change both those who surround you and the way you see yourself through focused effort, so you definitely have a lot of power in your hands to make a change.

When you don't know yourself, you won't find those resonant places where others who are like you will congregate. You also might not notice those who are like you even if you see them. If they notice you, you might even reject them or misunderstand. Luckily, you probably have a good self understanding if you're reading this.

Remember it's OK to be as you are. You are different and that doesn't mean sick, no matter what anyone tells you. You do some things better and some things worse than normal people. Focus on your strengths, and where your joy leads you.

I hope these tips have helped some. I'm walking the same path as you, getting more self understanding and more power, looking to tune more and more into my true mission. I love you so much, you would not believe.
