A San Diego audio engineer says an entity called Kryon began speaking through him in 1989. He has since delivered its messages through more than a dozen books, live at seminars worldwide.
A San Diego audio engineer, told separately by two psychics in the late 1980s that something was trying to reach him, he began public channeling sessions that year under the name Kryon.
His first book presented Kryon's early messages, describing a being from what the material calls the 'magnetic service,' said to be adjusting Earth's magnetic field to support a shift in human consciousness.
He and co-author Jan Tober described a generation of unusually strong-willed, intuitive children as spiritually advanced — a concept that spread widely despite no scientific study finding evidence for the traits or the entity said to have inspired it.
More than a dozen Kryon books are now in print, delivered live at seminars worldwide since 1989. The Indigo Children idea spread far beyond his own books into parenting culture generally, even as psychologists point out its traits are vague enough to fit almost anyone.
What reaches him, and why, rests on his account alone; no outside test has confirmed an entity called Kryon. Skeptical reference works place both the channeling and the Indigo Children idea alongside other unverifiable New Age claims, and note that the Indigo traits resemble the Forer effect: vague enough to feel true of nearly anyone.
