More than Just Indigos:
Catching up with Drunvalo Melchizedek

by Steve McCardell

First of all, let’s have a show of hands: How many here have read the Flower of Life books by Drunvalo Melchizedek? Okay, good. Now, those of you who haven’t, you are strongly encouraged to go check out these two volumes. I am a strong proponent of approaching spiritual growth through a marriage of the left and right sides of the brain, bringing together logic and intuition, science and mystery. That is just the approach that Drunvalo takes. (I know, but he’s so friendly that it seems too formal to call him "Mr. Melchizedek"; I’ve never heard anyone else do so, and he agrees that "Drunvalo" seems more natural.)

His volumes are full of unbelievable archaeological and other scientific discoveries that few people know about, yet are so important in understanding many mysteries, in particular those of Egypt. He joins this knowledge with fantastic sacred geometry and the guidance given him by angels and ascended masters over the years to offer unique and compelling spiritual tools. Yes, the information may test you, and no one holds you to believe all that he writes, but there’s nothing like a good challenge to what you think you know!

Compelled by all that he offers, I was delighted to have his time recently for an interview. Because of the famous Flower of Life studies that he began, he is certainly among the more influential leaders of the spiritual movement today, and I expect that many people are interested to know what’s coming next. I also expect that few of us could imagine. Get ready, because here we go.

Indigo children — those children born in growing numbers for the last generation, and said to have exceptional potential in their talents and for world transformation — are not the only new arrivals on the planet. So says Drunvalo Melchizedek. And I’m not referring here to extraterrestrials. No, I refer to the children born in growing numbers for the last generation — also with exceptional potential — who are counterparts to the Indigos. I mentioned the importance of joining the left and right brains in our pursuit of growth; these counterparts allow for exactly that on a worldwide scale. This is fascinating stuff; if you’ve been interested in Indigos, this point may just bring the whole topic to light for you. It did for me.

Indigos are discussed as having any number of traits, depending on the author you’re reading or the parent or teacher with whom you’re speaking. The best clue I’ve come across to date is that, as opposed to being generalists — as most of the preceding generations have been — the Indigos have the feature of "genius"; that is, they excel in one particular area. This doesn’t mean that they can’t have many talents or be bright in many subjects, but they will excel in one arena. Whether artists or scientists, the Indigos have tremendous intellects, and can use their brilliance in progressive thought and work

Drunvalo agrees that the Indigos have potent intellects; he’ll also point out that the intellect is but half the mind. The other half is the intuitive or psychic portion. Here it comes: East meets West. You could say that these two mighty world cultures are the very right and left halves of the global mind; and now, as the next step in human evolution, the Indigos and their counterparts represent the new human mind. While we have witnessed the growth of the Indigo generation, the Eastern culture has seen the emergence of the Psychic children. I could hardly believe all that Drunvalo revealed!

In the East (and we discussed China in particular), children born in the last twenty to thirty years have increasingly been gifted with incredible psychic powers. Drunvalo says that when people first started citing the children’s powers, they were scoffed by the scientific community; now, he says, the government is collecting these kids for military purposes, and the scientists are absolutely convinced of their powers, even if they do not understand them.

Let me mention that we are not merely talking about guessing the suit of a playing card, or picking the right number between one and ten. No, according to Drunvalo, these kids can see with many parts of their bodies, to the extent that one can tear a page from a book, crumple the thing, and stick it into the armpit of a blindfolded child and have the entire page read perfectly! He mentioned that others have been tested with sealed bottles placed on tables, and that some of these children can pass the solid contents in the bottle out onto the table with only a wave of the hand! One more example: imagine another blindfolded child with a picture held before her eyes. The child suddenly tells you who is in the picture, and then proceeds to rattle off that person’s address and phone number, family members, and more.

Sound incredible? Drunvalo says that he made no connection to what he already knew until he finally got one child to tell him how she perceived this information. "It probably seems weird," she told him, "but it’s like I see a bunch of computer screens inside my head; the main screen shows the person, and all the other screens give me information about that person." If you’ve read the Flower of Life books, you’ll remember the same story given to Drunvalo by a blind woman who doesn’t need her eyes to see, who indeed was tested by NASA to verify her claims! And today, it seems that Nature and Omni magazines have confirmed (and written about) much of this phenomenon.

Drunvalo believes that the new human mind is being born in these children — the Indigos in the West, the Psychics in the East — and he also believes that the Internet is an outer expression of this global brain. Look how people from the world over can interact through this medium; there is a sudden and unique integration going on. I asked Drunvalo if there was any other group being born who could be considered the corpus callosum — that which connects the two hemispheres of the global mind. He said he didn’t know of any such group, but that he believed there would be a sudden integration of these two groups of children, and that this would mark the period of much anticipated change. I rather wonder if the Internet somehow represents this potential.

But there is something else certainly involved. As much as Drunvalo is learning about these two groups of children, it is not in fact his specific direction these days, though it seems related. His real direction is the development of Living in the Heart, a new language without words that he believes will be the primary catalyst that links the two groups of children. It was taught to him by a tribe in South America. At least a part of this language requires shifting one’s spirit from the head down to a place in the heart, which allows one person to enter another’s perspective. Does that not sound like integration? And can you imagine a world in which we could see life through another’s eyes? If this can really happen, I don’t know any way we could more quickly develop compassion on planet Earth!

Drunvalo Melchizedek has certainly shown himself as a person bringing change to the world, and it doesn’t seem that he’s about to stop. He has other items up his sleeve, like an upcoming (and much requested) title on his own experience as a walk-in with full memory of his past. (That is, his spirit incarnated by entering a body that another spirit was leaving — another topic unto itself, and one that the book will cover in detail.) What else this man might bring us, one can only guess; his current work seems stunning enough, and we’ll just have to wait for whatever follows.
