Humanity should respect animals.

I think the main idea is balance.

Ah, but balance is relative. What is being balanced with what? It depends on how closely you zero into the situation, and how much time has elapsed.

For example, when viewed from a time perspective of 1 hour, and something takes up 59 minutes, there is no balance. But when viewed from the perspective of 2 hours, that entire 2nd hour might be opposite, so in the end, balance is achieved.

When viewing the situation prematurely, thinking it's all over, one can think there is no balance, when it's just too soon.

I think it's overly simplistic to expect balance in every moment. A Wanderer might be attempting to balance some aspect that needed brushing up on. We don't know the big picture. That Wanderer might balance his/her overall vibration by zooming in on some aspect - be it compassion, wisdom or whatever - and to an observer it might look like it's out of balance, but in the big picture, that is exactly what was needed for balance.

Furthermore, balance implies duality, as in, yin/yang. But that's only viewing the situation from a numerological 2. The next number, 3, has a different sort of balance. And still different when the energy reaches 4, and so on. The concept of balance becomes meaningless when continued progression is taken into account.

For example, often times in an emotionally tense situation my kneejerk reaction is to offer wisdom. But that very rarely ever works out. This is because my lesson is typically to teach/learn love.

Now why might that be? If, as you seem to imply, you are a 5D Wanderer, then why are you learning lessons of love? To refine it?

Wisdom flows naturally for me. Love requires more conscious effort. Therefore it is a pattern of being of being "overbalanced" toward wisdom. That doesn't mean I should become any less wise; It means that I have a tendency to overvalue wisdom with respect to encountered catalyst.

If a Wanderer is, say, 6D, then wouldn't both love and wisdom flow? Since they successfully graduated from both densities?

We cannot know what mission the Wanderer took on. They might have veiled certain strengths, in order to accomplish their mission. Just as a Wanderer might incarnate into a religion - that doesn't mean they haven't yet evolved past religious dogma. It might just be that they have chosen to be veiled, in order to do their work in that particular sub-culture. I know a high Wanderer who is a total bible-believer. But there is no doubt in my mind that he's a high Wanderer. His love and wisdom both flow abundantly. I believe him to be a 6D Wanderer, and here he is, in a religion! He just veiled his higher knowledge, in order to complete his mission. He might just as easily have veiled some aspect of 5D wisdom, or even 4D love, in order to accomplish his mission. We just really can't tell.

I would surmise an analogous situation in one for which compassion flows most freely. There would be a tendency to assume that compassion was the most appropriate response to catalyst, when perhaps it might be faith.

Can you give an example of when faith might be more appropriate than compassion? Those see to be 2 different qualities, with differing applications. I can see the need for faith with compassion, but I can't think of an instance when compassion should be intentionally blocked or turned off.

But I can only speak for myself. I wouldn't be so foolish as to hold myself out as being able to determine which lessons others are working on, or where in the spirals they might be.

Whew! That's a relief! haha
