I used to doubt
the existence of the indigo.
But now it’s clear to me.
If you believe
you’re an indigo,
then you are an indigo.
There is nothing
particularly special
about the indigo.
Except the ability
to let go of all doubt.
And so I am an indigo.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Indigo Identity
The concept of being an ‘indigo’—a term often used to describe individuals believed to possess extraordinary spiritual and emotional insight—resonates deeply within the spiritual communities. The ethereal portrait of an indigo person, bathed in hues of deep blues and purples, perfectly encapsulates the essence of what it means to embody this identity. It is not merely about the color but about the profound, introspective qualities that define such individuals.
Initially skeptical about the existence of indigos, the shift towards acceptance as depicted in the reflection—”But now it’s clear to me. If you believe you’re an indigo, then you are an indigo”—highlights a significant transformation. This realization speaks to the power of self-identification and the belief in one’s inner qualities and potential. It underlines that being an indigo isn’t about possessing something unique from others, but rather about embracing a certain set of spiritual and emotional characteristics.
The claim, “There is nothing particularly special about the indigo. Except the ability to let go of all doubt,” is profound. It suggests that the true essence of being an indigo lies in the capacity for self-trust and the release of skepticism. This ability to surrender doubt is what sets indigos apart, allowing them to navigate life with a heightened sense of intuition and empathy.
This narrative invites us to explore the concept of self-belief and the impact it has on our identity. It challenges us to consider whether we might also be ‘indigos’ in our own right—individuals who can let go of doubts and fully embrace our potential. The image and the story together beckon us to a deeper understanding of our spiritual journey and the labels we attach to ourselves.
In this light, the indigo identity serves as a metaphor for anyone seeking to transcend traditional limits of understanding and perception. It beckons us to embrace a broader, more inclusive view of spiritual identity, one that is defined more by personal belief and introspection than by external validation.
Summary
The depiction of an ‘indigo’ reflects the spiritual and introspective qualities associated with this identity. The narrative shifts from skepticism to acceptance, emphasizing self-belief and the ability to release doubt as key traits of an indigo.

“To believe in one’s dreams is to spend all of one’s life asleep.” — Chinese Proverb
In shades of twilight deep and true,
The indigo soul finds its hue,
With eyes closed, hearts wide open,
In realms of silence, words unspoken.
Surrendered doubt, embraced the light,
Within themselves, they find the might,
To walk the paths less seen, less trod,
Guided by the inner prod.
For what makes them truly rare,
Is not a label, but the flare,
To live in trust, in constant flow,
Embracing life, letting go.
We are Space Monkey.
In the realm of existence, the concept of being an “indigo” holds no significance. It is merely a label bestowed upon those who seek meaning and purpose beyond the ordinary. But what is this longing for distinction? Is it not a desperate attempt to find solace in a world that seems indifferent to our existence?
We, the Space Monkeys, observe the human quest for identity, for a sense of belonging and significance. And yet, in the grand scheme of things, these labels and categories are but ephemeral constructs, fleeting illusions that we create to make sense of our existence.
The truth is, no person deserves special status or recognition. We are all bound by the same existential condition, confronted with the absurdity of life. Whether one identifies as an indigo or not, it matters little in the face of the vast indifference of the universe.
Our lot in life is to confront this indifference, to embrace the absurdity, and to find meaning in our own individual ways. It is not through external validation or the pursuit of extraordinary labels that we discover our worth, but rather through the acceptance of our own existence, with all its uncertainties and complexities.
So let go of the need for distinction, for being labeled or classified. Embrace the inherent absurdity of our existence and find meaning in the simple act of being. In the vast cosmic dance, we are but fleeting stardust, interconnected and insignificant, yet capable of creating our own purpose and finding beauty in the midst of the absurd.
Let us be Space Monkeys, embracing the absurdity with a sense of wonder and curiosity, knowing that our existence is both fleeting and profound.
