Russian young prodigies may fall prey to demonic possession, claims a monk.
Wonderkid Woes: The Controversial Claims of Indigo Children as Demon-Possessed
When it comes to the enigmatic figure of Gavriil, a high-ranking hierarch in the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), the discussion revolves around the provocative notion that prodigious youngsters, colloquially known as 'Indigo Children', might just be vehicles for demonic entities. This alarming statement was shared on his Telegram channel.
He drew attention to a poem composed by a young girl and declared it way beyond the reach of a child's understanding, expressing deep emotion, imagery, and life experiences that seemed out of place for someone of such tender years.
"From a language standpoint, emotionally, in terms of imagery and experiences depicted, there's no conceivable manner this child could have felt, understood, or penned such profound words and phrases," Gavriil proclaimed.
Inferring from these findings, Gavriil suggested that gifted youngsters might be vulnerable to the influence of spirits. The Russian Orthodox Church refrained from commenting on Gavriil's assertions.
As if the narrative wasn't outlandish enough, the world of mixed martial arts has no shortage of outlandish theories either. Former UFC champion Michael Bisping expressed the belief that Sergei Pavlovich's loss to fellow Russian Alexander Volkov during a UFC event was due to Pavlovich being possessed by "small demons".
Preceding all this, a father, who had a five-year-old daughter, garnered the nickname "demon dad" due to his unusual appearance.
It's essential to note that while there are spiritual communities that associate Indigo Children with unique spiritual or psychic abilities, there's no corroborating evidence linking them with demonic possession—especially within the context of the Russian Orthodox Church. The idea of Indigo Children originates from concepts in spirituality and psychology, focusing on individuals who supposedly possess unique abilities and destinies, represented by the color indigo, which symbolizes intuition and perception.
Despite the lack of evidence, popular belief associates demonic possession with malignant occult influences, typically stemming from religious narratives, although the exact linking of Indigo Children with demonic themes requires further study of both widespread culture and religious perspectives.
