Hi Oceania,

>> since when is compassion a wanderer trait >>

Good to see your point of view also. Let me explain. I don't know if your'e from the 5th or 6th dimension, nevertheless, it makes you, for lack of a better descriptive term, an advanced being, not better than anybody, but more mature in your spiritual armory. A wanderer, being and advanced entity, volunteered to come to earth. He/she did not volunteer to score browny points, but from a deep sense of compassion to alleviate suffering.

It is your individual responsibility to elevate/enhance your own level of consciousness, and once you've achieved a certain level of spiritual maturity you will not have to seek answers anymore, they will come to you. Consciousness is your level of Knowing (not knowledge), Understanding and Wisdom. In short it is a measure of spiritual enlightenment. Enlightenment does not burst forth in a cloud of immeasurable energy and bliss, as most people seem to believe. For some people it happens, they are far and few between. Enlightenment is mostly a gradual process of growth.

<< don't we even have negative wanderers? >>

You will not find negative wanderers. "Wanderer" is another label for spirit, just as the spirit of any other being, the difference is the level of spiritual maturity. I do not believe the Karmic Masters would allow anyone to come and pretend to be a wanderer, who is in fact a teacher, to mess around if he/she does not have the spiritual credentials (level of required consciousness).

You see, negativity can only be ascribed to the ego, the spirit can never, never, be negative because it is an individualization of God, it has God attributes, although it is not God yet. Allow spirit more the opportunity to manifest in life and ego will become less prominent.

<< wanderer is just someone from another dimension that doesn't guarantee the person is perfect

If spirit has much negative Karma to redeem it will not be a wanderer. Also a wanderer is not just someone from another dimension, it is a special being, special in the sense that other beings, if given the choice will never volunteer to come to earth, because of the suffering. A wanderer volunteers to suffer in order to gain a better understanding of humanity, and to become a more adept teacher.

And also when you refer to someone, you actually refer to a personality, and a personality is an expression of the ego. Let me tell you there are many imposters, all who claim to be wanderers are not. It has beccome a greatly romanticised idea, as if it gives one a special kind of status. Many have come and knocked on the door, but few are let in.

<< as Ra says anyone who comes here becomes more or less human >>

True indeed. But you must never forget, you are not human. The human part of you is the ego. So more or less human means the degree to which you allow ego to rule your life. Let me tell you this. There are so called gurus who proclaim the ego must be destroyed. The ego has an important role to play, and if it was not for ego you would not have lasted an hour here on earth The problem is, spirit has, unfortunately, given away much of its power to ego.

I want to quote from Wikipedia "In Genesis, Esau returned to his brother Jacob being famished from the fields. He begged his twin brother to give him some "red pottage". (paralleling his nickname, Hebrew: אדום`Edom, meaning "Red".) Jacob offered to give Esau a bowl of stew in exchange for his birthright (the right to be recognized as firstborn), and Esau agreed. Thus Jacob buys/exchanges Esau's birthright. This is believed to be the origin of the English phrase "mess of pottage".

This is the story of the ego. Everytime you (spirit) reincarnate you become Esau and you sell your birthright, your free will, to Jacob (ego). When you are born, you come into a hostile world. All around you there are beings in white and green dresses, with gloves on and dangerous shiny weapons in their hands, dazzling bright lights. They pull you from your safe haven and even slap you as a welcome gesture.

This is the time when spirit decides this place is too dangerous. Ego steps forward and says, "don't worry, I'll take care of you, let me make the decisions and you'll be safe and survive." This is the moment when you (spirit) give away your God-given birth right, which is your free will. Now the ego is in charge. So in essence the ego only has the power over you to the extent that you allow it. The ego has, over the years in your life, become power hungry. The ego is so "egocentric" that it is afraid to die. That is the only reason so many people are afraid of death. The spirit longs to go, but the ego fights and holds on. When spirit moves on, back to Source, the ego disappears like mist before the sun, and it knows it. It is some degree of intelligence, infact, it is fed by the mind.

So, yes, you can be more human if you want to be, but never forget, you are here as a co-creator with God. Your (our) responsiblity is to assist in elevating the consciousness of the earth so it can also ascend to a higher realm. But unfortunately we are more involved in the process of breaking down.

Brings me back to my original statement. It is a burden to be a wanderer. But the responsibility is performed with love and compassion to alleviate suffering. Isn't that what the Buddha also said?
