All About Indigos

Catalysts will bring in new paradigms, new philosophies, and new religions. They envision the future and advocate tirelessly for global causes and philanthropic endeavors.They are the fewest of the Indigos, numbering only one in every few thousand people. The are very large-bodied and intensely curious about the human body and how it operates. They often make funny noises (testing the limits of the human voice and what it can do.)

They can appear very detached and often project an air of total superiority. Other people usually perceive them as eccentric or weird.

Outside Interests

As with the Conceptuals, Catalysts can greatly benefit from some form of martial art or Asian art to help them funnel their energies. They need the introspective vision of inner control and outer contentment. Most Catalysts excel in these disciplines. They love the outdoors and are athletic by nature. Being in or near water is good for them.

Minhaj Gedi Farah, an Indigo Catalyst, caught the world's attention as an infant. Born in Somalia, he was rescued by members of the International Rescue Committee, who released these photos recently.  Malnourished and anemic, Minhaj needed three blood transfusions and forced feeding for three months to turn him into the bright and nearly normal sized boy pictured above right. He now lives in a refugee camp in Kenya. Minhaj has already begun his work: representing the plight of thousands of starving children in a war-based culture. He exemplifies the meaning of catalyst perfectly: a being who is uninvolved personally with the effect he has on mankind and the storm of influence he has created. Right now, his task is to experience the Earth through his human body.

Defining Characteristics

Catalysts usually have a thick, heavy body (think Raymond Burr or Orson Welles.) They are often easy-going but can fly into a sudden rage. They are abstract thinkers, often conceptualizing things that won't occur until far into the future. Right now, they are just waiting for the world to realize they are right. They may have difficulty relating to their siblings. They can be classroom disrupters, only because their thought processes are so different from the norm. Of all the Indigo types, they are the most likely to be labeled "autistic." About fifty percent of them actually are autistic. The others use the label as a means of being left alone. They prefer the quietness of solitude. Catalysts are special; we should welcome them and honor their desire for isolation today. Tomorrow they will offer the solutions to today's social problems of hunger, disease, poverty, and prejudice. Nancy receives many emails and letters from people who have self-identified as Catalysts. While it is certainly possible, it is unlikely at this time. Catalysts are very few in number because they have difficulty adjusting to the physical human body and because time is not ready for their message.
