homesickness and pain

[Ruth]

In particular, this portion spoke to me (bold added by me):

"Crystals feel like old souls, wise in spiritual matters, but often very child-like when it comes to matters of the material world. Their biggest life challenge is to stay grounded, focused and within their energy, but not exclude the world and retreat into their own safe energetic space. By balancing their empathy with detachment, setting strong energetic boundaries and using their healing abilities from a point of empowerment, rather than as martyrs, they offer solutions to many of the world’s problems and can help others find empowerment from within their own spiritual centers. Without detachment though, they can easy lose their focus, become ungrounded and float through life in a sort of energetic limbo."

"Crystals", wanderers, travellers, start seeds - same concept, different names if you ask me. The danger that a wanderer faces is that it forgets its "mission". Something that Confused touched in this post, and I made a thread about it, is what I believe you bolded in the above post. It's just said with different words.

So I guess it's good to wake up and start working, doing what we came here to do.

Thank you Ankh - the video and music are very nice.

I would agree that the various labels are often just different ways of expressing the same concept. However, just as "human, human being, person, man, mankind, woman, womankind" all point to basically the same concept, there are subtle variances between the individuals who make up the group.

This article spoke to me in a different way than the threads you linked to. Perhaps because I have been guilty of taking a "reatreat into [my] own safe energetic space." Did you read the entire article? Rather than talking about specific chakra combinations and rays and dimensions etc, it just gives a very basic description of the variances between two types of "wanderers". And it helped me put some things about myself into perspective. And actually, about my son.

I have not forgotton my mission, but sometimes I have found it difficult to find my perfect balance.
