When you look a the rainbow, the teeny tiny sliver of indigo between blue and violet is almost indiscernible. But there it is, tenaciously holding its position.
So it is with the Indigo Sphere. I think the people of that sphere want to evolve, but something keeps them from just putting down their end of the rope, thus making tug-o-war impossible to play.
I spoke to an old friend this week. He has the principle of Love in his chart twice (Sun and Mercury) and Creativity once (Ascendant.) This guy has some Indigo goin' on! How can Love and Creativity not want to evolve to Rose Quartz, I ask you? We talked for over an hour, and a good portion of the time was spent with my listening the problems he's having with his church. It's a liberal/conservative conflict within the Presbyterian church. The conservatives want to secede (my word, not his) and the liberals say "fine, give us your property deed and start your own church." The conservatives say "from my cold dead hands" (my words not his) and the liberals say "we'll see you in court." He's on the conservative side of this argument, and he constantly used terms demonizing the libs. The only thing I could say to him was, "This is why I don't go to church." That upset him, too, because he knows me as the preacher's kid who SHOULD be going to church because that was the way I was raised.
This is a classic Indigo argument. It's almost laughable. This is not Jews vs. Muslims. This is not Shi'a vs Sunni. This is Presbyterians suing each other! Presbyterians! Please.
I spoke to yet another childhood friend today who told me about a trip to his mother's hometown to visit his mother's and grandmother's graves. It's a very very small town in Texas, but it has two cemeteries - one for the Baptists and one for the Methodists. Surely the two can't spend an eternity buried next to each other. He had to go to both cemeteries (on opposite sides of the town), as his grandmother was a Baptist, and his mother a Methodist. (She converted when she married a Methodist, like ya do.)
The Indigo Sphere is the Sphere of Idealism and Devotion. And indeed, both idealism and devotion are essential in a life with meaning. One must have ideals in order to strive. One must be disciplined and devoted in order to achieve. Yet, when one becomes bull-doggish about his or her ideals and tunnel visioned about his or her devotion . . . well that's why wars are fought, walls are built, mistrust and hatred are fomented.
I wonder whether you have Indigo in your garment pattern? And I wonder if you're seeing it evolve? Love and Creativity are trying to evolve to Rose Quartz/ Mastery and Observation. Innocence and Attraction are trying to evolve to Tanzanite/Trust and Initiation. Seems to me that this one is having a hard time budging toward the other side of the rainbow. Is that true in your life?
