People I believe to be Ra wanderers.

[Unbound]

I think that there is often a conflation between people we admire, agree with, or identify with in a thematic sense, and the idea of wanderers or past lives.

Sure, it's completely possible that famous people are wanderers, or that an individual is the reincarnation of a famous person. But I think that the New Age community in general tends to over-identify with intuitive notions. As Ra said, intuitive perception can be vague. When we feel a certain resonance with a person (even to the point where we receive a message telling us that this person is a wanderer or a previous incarnation), that resonance could very well simply be an identification with the cultural or personal perception of that individual.

Themes, situations, emotions, "stories" tend to repeat and cycle themselves within our cultural mind so it is natural that one person may resonate, identify, or empathize with another person. One may have a framework of perception in place that will tell them that the resonance they feel makes the other person a wanderer or a previous incarnation. The question seems to hardly ever be asked, "Is this resonance simply an identification with the themes I perceive around this person? Is it possible that this person represents something greater to me and thus my need to label or project onto them? Or am I really gifted with knowledge from my intuition?"

I think communication from our intuition is attempting to communicate personal information first and foremost. It would be more fruitful to ask oneself "Why do I think these people are wanderers?" rather than simply proclaim, "I think these people are wanderers."

I agree, however, my question is why is there the assumption that all experience which connects to past lives and such things are based entirely on 'resonance'? Who is to determine the foundation of the truth of identity when the truth is, or part of it is, all is identity? What is the difference between actual memory and intuitive resonance and who is able to discern the truth of another in terms of their actual identity?

We all are the Creator, One Creator that is Infinite, yet each Creator that is the Creator is DIFFERENT from any other Creator that is the Creator, and yet the same. Of the chasing of infinity this is pretty much the only thing of substance I have found, there is differentiation which is part of unity, an infinity of infinite infinites.

My question thus is, to you and to Immanuel, what is the experience that underlies the discovery of identification and how is it perceived moment to moment by each individual?

Aha That would explain my confusion then!
