Pardon the repeats from other posts in this response:
Regarding wanderers, starseed and whether they are 'the same' --
(This is the repeat stuff; scroll down if you've read it before.) It seems to me that differences in interpretation of the same information simply underscores the notion that there are many paths, many realities -- that we may not be actually talking about the exact same things here, but that they are similar.
For instance, while I'd accept that the term "wanderer" applies to me well enough, "starseed" does not; my path does not follow - it neither begins nor ends with - the same route as the latter. But the similarities are enough that many of the same concepts apply, and many of the descriptions of the starseed reality mirror my own... again, with differences.
I gave an egg analogy in another post, suggesting that the experience of being the shell is much different from the experience of being the yolk, and yet both experiences are equally "egg experiences". I'd borrow from that analogy to say that I feel the differences between what I experience of spiritual reality and some of what is described in the LOO books is more akin to the difference of experience between the yolk and the albumen. Many more similarities than differences there...
The only thing I want to add is, this discussion has been so filled with love, it was a true joy to read the whole thing and to feel the wonderful intent with which this forum was created and which the members continue to build upon.
Many thanks,
plur
