I would say these "some" are closest to the truth.

Great that you have been inspired by Blink I hope you enjoy it.
You made a good point too about concerning ourselves with other people of whom we might never meet. Are they really significant to us? Well yes if they are powerful and have a lot of Influence. I want to know how they tick if their influence affects others and myself.
I have found that most of my learning has been from being up close and personal through romantic relationships (yes with a psychopath) friendships and people I work with...... and for (had a few psychopath bosses too).
Should we be concerned with Malala?
Should we just be dealing with the facts?
As I said Initially shes really got me wondering.
Yes, French Marigold, I think we should be concerned with Malala. Not specifically in the context of trying to find out what makes her tick - as I clumsily tried to say a few posts ago, it might be a waste of energy that would be better used 'where we're at' - but in terms of her influence on the world, most definitely.
Perhaps I am just talking from a purely subjective view here - at the moment I feel no motivation to find out what makes Malala tick. At the same time I would love to know what makes Obama tick. But why? Because I think he has a much bigger influence on my own life and those that are close to me. I haven't got sufficient energy to investigate everyone - so I need to priorities in terms of who is the biggest and/or most direct threat to me and those close to me.
Now, I would like confirmation that Obama is a psychopath - you know, evidence presenters by a trustworthy expert who has examined him. Why though? If I go by 'ye shall know them by their fruits' then I already know he is a psychopath - along with multiple other people in power. So why do I want that confirmation - confirmation of my own powers of awareness perhaps. If so that may be narcissistic, or at the least a waste of energy that could be used in a more STO direction.
Ah, you've had plenty of close encounters with the psychopath kind. Me too, although I didn't realise it at the time. My last encounter was just over a year ago, at work, and the suits at the top cited lack of evidence for reinstating the psychopath (after initial suspension) and rewarding him and punishing me in a way I couldn't fight. I then became aware of a thing called 'natural justice' - it came and he was kicked out for something else unrelated to me.
When the knowledge from here showed me that his incredible behaviour, and the way he was able to manipulate bosses and colleagues to believe his outrageous lies, was down to the fact that he is a certain type of being known as psychopathic, it explained everything, and opened up a new awareness for me.
Anyway, I am really conscious about hijacking this thread about Malala, so I better stop talking about me and my experiences here.
I wonder why Malala has triggered your wanting to know about her, French Marigold. Obviously she is an amazingly influential symbol on the world at the moment. But is she another Mother Teresa?
when I watched the john stewart's show, I thought it is interesting and when I read wiki, it is clear that she is a show piece. If she says US is bad, the media that pumped her all these years will dump her into the taliban gun barrel. Only choice she has(if it exist by any chance) get the hell out of Pakistan to some safe western country. Sad part of the story( thinking that she has the conscience to not to dance with devil) how media shamelessly uses helpless Kids/young children for its propaganda. This reminded me of this BIG high way poster I see while drivingPerceval said:I would say these "some" are closest to the truth.seek10 said:Some even accuse her as a pawn of western imperialism.

Sounds like a severe case of denial and wishful thinking, in my opinion. But, as we already understand the psychological reality is merely a tool for the [Control System] Reality, I suspect that the reader already has jumped ahead of me here and realizes what a big snow-job this "indigo children" deal is. Ms. Chapman has kindly provided a check-list to determine an "indigo child."...[/quote]Indigo Children are the current generation being born today and most of those who are 8 years old or younger. They are different. They have very unique characteristics that set them apart from previous generations of children. [...]
These are the children who are often rebellious to authority, nonconformist, extremely emotionally and sometimes physically sensitive or fragile, highly talented or academically gifted and often metaphysically gifted as well, usually intuitive, very often labeled ADD, either very empathic and compassionate OR very cold and callous, and are wise beyond their years. Does this sound like yourself or your child?
Indigos have come into this world with difficult challenges to overcome. Their extreme levels of sensitivity are hard to understand and appreciate by parents who don't share this trait. Their giftedness is unusual in such high numbers. Their nonconformity to systems and to discipline will make it difficult to get through their childhood years and perhaps even their adult years. It is also what will help them accomplish big goals such as changing the educational system, for instance. Being an Indigo won't be easy for any of them, but it foretells a mission. The Indigo Children are the ones who have come to raise the vibration of our planet! These are the primary ones who will bring us the enlightenment to ascend.

[quote author=Laura]At the present time, there is something very scary going on in the metaphysical community: talk about the so-called "Indigo Children." One of the chief promoters of this idea, Wendy Chapman, writes:

If you're interested, we have a thread that discusses, and interprets, different abbreviations. There are a few posts, and the abbreviations are scattered throughout, but they are there.

Gimpy said:I think its important to bear in mind, that this girl was shot in the head, and in critical condition for a time. She was sent to Britain for 'intensive rehabilitation'. (source is wikipedia, so there's that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malala_Yousafzai )
It's apparent to me that she didn't heal fully from that injury, and her appearances since the attack are 'managed', fwiw.
Speculating on 'what she means' skates the edges of navel gazing, fwiw. ;)
