I feel like wanderers are "supposed" (well we're supposed to do whatever we will choose to do) to actually wander. To physically walk around amongst the people and let synchronicity and love take care of everything. To let the ones who seek answers come to us. To show by example that when we shed all fear and doubt about how to survive and love the task that we've come here to perform, we will receive all that we need to survive from what surrounds us.
Just look at Jesus, he didn't live with his mom or had a house, did he? Didn't he just walk around spreading love and people eventually started following him because they were eager to? These houses that we live in are making us isolated from each other, making us unwillingly do STS tasks (whether its doing the dishes or laundry or eating).
What is really hard though is letting go. If i was a loner and nobody cared for me i would be outside spreading love & light 24/7, but with family and friends who care and can feel fear for my life and my "supposed" future, it feels hard. I just don't want to hurt anyone.
What are your thoughts?
Love & Light!
These are interesting thoughts. I don't know about all wanderers but for me - The freedom has been the highest value for me but at the same time experiencing limitation and structures and relationships is what this incarnation brings. The soul wants to experience all things including working with the constraints.
I have deep feelings about being a wandering monk type of person. That energy is very close to my heart. I got to experience it as a part of my recent pilgrimage trip to different sacred sites in India. I plan to do a lot more of that going to different sacred sites around the world. Next on the list is Egypt and Pyramids.
I think it is very easy to be loving and compassinate when you are totally free like a wondering monk. But it becomes harder and harder when you have to make choices while being responsible for a family and the loved ones. This kind of setup draws someone in a highly STS world. The world of competition for good grades, then competition for finding a job and doing whatever it takes to take care of your loved ones first. provide all comforts and worldly pleasures to them. Getting the best price on your things becomes more important than the person who is providing this price. People become objects and means to get somewhere. That hustling through the world leaves its scar. It becomes harder and harder to maintain love and compassion. You start to see others as competitiors and not fellow travelers.
The key is to find love even in those moments. Give love even when others are only giving you hate or apathy. Find love even when there are real important (so called important in this illusion) at stake. This takes love to whole another level. The intensity of love then is different. The love lost in the STS world and then found again. That is what my journey has been about.
Now I realize that you don't really have to leave everything to gain freedom. Althought it might be helpful as a short break from the world as much. I am realizing that you can be of tremendous service and have a lot of joy by just being loving wherever life takes you. If it takes you wandering then so be it...
