Humanity should respect animals.

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.

Well no, balance doesn't necessarily imply duality. You just gave some examples of non-dualistic balance!

I think you might be making my point more complex than it is.

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?

Well, knowing myself what probably happened was I breezed through a whole bunch of lessons doing only the minimum necessary to get to the "advanced lessons" only to realize that I had overlooked something important back at a very foundational level.

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

To some degree, yes. Wisdom could flow from a 3D native. But to your deeper question, you answered it yourself!

We cannot know what mission the Wanderer took on. They might have veiled certain strengths, in order to accomplish their mission.

Exactly. For example, they might have decided to veil compassion in order to be able to maneuver themselves into a situation that they would otherwise find overwhelmingly abhorrent.

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.

Yes, that's true.

Can you give an example of when faith might be more appropriate than compassion?

Some examples would be when inexplicable tragedies and great injustices occur. Compassion is easy in those types of circumstances. That's not to say at all that compassion is "inappropriate" not by any means. Just saying in those types of circumstances the toughest lessons are about faith, not compassion. At least for me. Maybe for somebody else it is difficult to express compassion in those types of circumstances.

but I can't think of an instance when compassion should be intentionally blocked or turned off.

Well naturally, you wouldn't! Who knows- there could be all kinds of crazy missions! Pick any situation where somebody wants to play the role of "whistleblower." I would imagine they might shut down compassion in order to maneuver themselves into whatever dark operation they are wishing to expose.

Highly compassionate people really wouldn't stand much of a chance rising to the top on Wall Street, for example.
