The Little Masters - a Lightwatcher feature
source: by Lightman

Over the past two years I have been posting stories about an increasing number of especially gifted children. Although these children are brilliant prodogies, they are also much more. They are the little masters. These kids offer us more than just hope and inspiration - they are the light at the end of the very dark tunnel we are presently traveling through on Earth.

For those of you familiar with the 'Indigo Children' and the good works of James Twyman, this topic needs no introduction. But for those of you new to these remarkable stories, prepare to be amazed. Over the next few weeks I will be posting a number of stories about these little masters, the special children that have been popping up all over the globe. Some of the Little Masters we plan to feature in this special Lightwatcher series:

What's an Indigo Child??
source: by Wendy H. Chapman / Metagifted.org
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. The name itself indicates the Life Color they carry in their auras and is indicative of the Third Eye Chakra, which represents intuition and psychic ability. 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? ...

Indian 'child genius' beats the odds
source: by Amarnath Tewary /BBC.com
A 12-year-old boy from India's poorest and most lawless state, Bihar, is celebrating being named India smartest kid after winning a nationally televised quiz. Subham Prakhar won the title of "India's Child Genius" after several rounds of stiff competition between some 16,000 schoolchildren. Both of his parents are currently unemployed and Subham had to depend on generous relatives and the internet to gain access to the books he needed to prepare for the competition. Besides a glass trophy, an Encyclopaedia Britannica CD-rom and a pair of gold and silver pens, Shubham won a cash prize of one million rupees ($22,200). Shubham Prakhar lives in the northern district of Muzaffarpur in Bihar - a state where police estimate that a murder takes place every four hours, a woman is raped every six hours, and kidnappings are a daily occurrence.

Founder of the Hero Project, author of Journey Through Heartsongs and frequent guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Mattie was born on July 17, 1990 - June 22, 2004). He was an American poet and advocate. At the age of 3, Stepanek started to write poetry to cope with the death of his older brother.

Three of the five works made the New York Times's Best Seller list.

Stepanek had a rare form of muscular dystrophy, dysautonomic mitochondrial myopathy. His sister and two brothers both died from the disease, and his mother suffers from the adult form, diagnosed only after her children were born.

In 2002, Stepanek became the Muscular Dystrophy Association National Goodwill Ambassador, due to his national high profile because of his poetry and related appearances on Oprah, Larry King Live, and Good Morning America. He died at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C on Tuesday, June 22, 2004.

Psychic children speak to the World Festival

As many of you know, we have begun taking registrations for the upcoming "Psychic Children
Speak to the World Festival" in Ashland, Oregon from July 18-20. This will be a celebration of the wisdom of the children, and we have invited some of the more profound Psychic Kids that have come across our path. They are so eager to share their messages of peace, and we hope you will be able to join us. Other speakers include Neale Donald Walsch, Jean Houston, Stephen Simon, Jose Arguelles and myself. I believe this will be the most impactful event we have ever sponsored. There will also be performers from around the world, including from Cirque du Soleil. If you want your own children to enjoy the event,
we have set up a "conference within the conference" just for them. You can get all the details, including hotel and travel information, on our website:

Spirituality and the highly gifted adolescent
source: by Stephanie S. Tolan
Writing about spirituality and highly gifted adolescents is a daunting task. It has often been said that individuals at the high end of the intellectual continuum vary from each other more than any other group, regardless of age. Extreme variation is true for abilities, passions, personality, temperament, social/emotional issues and life experience. It may be especially true about spirituality, which partakes of all those other differences...

Tulkus: incarnate Lamas of Tibet - An interview with His Holiness Sakya Trizin

Question: What do you think about this possible 'switching-over' of the emanations? Like I was told that for example instead of an Avalokiteshvara emanation - in the case of the Dalai Lama - there can be in that place a Manjushri emanation? Answer: Sure! It's the same. Q: This can happen? A: Yes. Q: What are the laws behind this? A: There's no law. I mean...

He was solving math problems at 14 months, reading and correcting adults' grammar by 2 -- the same age he decided to become a vegetarian. He was explaining photosynthesis to kindergarten classmates at 5. He breezed through 10 grades of school in three years, graduated with honors from high school at 9, founded an international youth advocacy organization, met with prime ministers and presidents, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Twice. Now, 13-year-old Gregory Robert Smith is about to add another line to his resumé: College graduate. Greg will receive his...

4-year-old Seattle boy pronounced holy leader (1996 article)
source: Correspondent Rusty Dornin / CNN
Nawang Kunga Tegchen Chakyl Nyima may be only 4 years old, but he is already a legend. He is on his way to a Nepal monastery this week, where he will be treated as a holy leader because Buddhists say that the Seattle boy is the reincarnation of a dearly beloved lama. Before Lama Deschung Rinpochet died in 1987 he told his followers that he would be reincarnated in Seattle. Deschung Rinpochet was one of the highest lamas of Tibetan Buddhism's Sakya...

Genius one in a million

When Trent Bowen was born, doctors believed a complication at birth had left him disabled. But they could not have been more wrong. Trent has turned out to be one in a million - possibly the most gifted mind in Australia. He began reading at 17 months and was finishing adult novels before most children can read a single word. At three, he became Australia's youngest member of Mensa, the club for people with high IQs...

Lama Osel - from 'Reborn in the West'
source: by Vicki Mackenzie
The last time I had seen Lama Osel was in 1988 on the steps of the Kopan gompa, as I was putting the finishing touches to my book about him and his previous incarnation as Lama Yeshe. He was then just three years old and had announced, quite clearly, that he was going somewhere where there were big mountains and cows, 'far, far away'. I didn't know...

Biography of Deshung Rinpoche Kunga Tenpa'i Nyima
source: geocities.com/Athens/Ithica
In 1906, the Fire Horse Year, H. E. Deshung Rinpoche was born in the mountainous Ga region of East Tibet into a family famous for its skilled physicians. When he was only five years old, Rinpoche appealed to his parents to be sent to a monastery so that he could devote his life to the Buddhist path. Impressed by his request, Rinpoche's parents realized that this was no ordinary person, but one destined to a very special religious role. He then went to study and live with his uncle, Ngawang Nyima, a monk who spent most of his life in retreat at the Thaglung Monastery in Ga. Rinpoche began to learn letters and memorization and did chores for his uncle. As a boy Rinpoche read the biography

Children of the new dream - Interview with Drunvalo Melchizedek
source: By Diane Cooper / awakening-healing.com
Diane: So Drunvalo...who are these "Children of the New Dream" that you are so excited about? Drunvalo: Well there are 3 different kinds of children emerging in the world today that I have been able to identify. The first are called the "Super Psychic Children of China". The second are called the "Indigo Children" and the third are called the "Children of AIDS". The first one, the "Super Psychics of China", we talked about in the Flower of Life seminars. If you remember, the first one was discovered in 1984 when a child was found who was psychic beyond belief. Researchers conducted every psychic test you could imagine and he was 100% correct every time. You could turn cards over in another room and that didn't matter...

Indigo children's Sacred Heart Meditation
source: James Twyman
One of the main gifts of the Psychic Children is their ability to communicate with one another wherever they may be on the planet, linking their minds into a field of consciousness they call "The Web." They say that they are able to send messages to the other children who are psychically open, all of them working together to heal and bring peace. Some of the children who spoke at the conference in Hawaii mentioned this, and how important it is that we, the adults, ultimately learn to do the same. They say that there is a way for us to be aware of the "essence" of each other, and to communicate on a higher plane where language and symbols are not as important. It is the beginning, they say, of a new language, the language of the heart and soul. Until now the information of how this occurs and how we can learn this skill has been unavailable. That has now changed.
