I don't think the number is high. These are the people who have come to the conclusion they are wanderers and thus can see to a degree through the veil and make sense of it. That's not a dramatic accomplishment is it?
Maybe indeed they're all over?
There must also be an enormous amount of people who are wanderers that don't know it yet. I know people who have developed an alternate personality in roleplay there are whole summer camps where people go to dress up for days and be someone they're not. Someone who is like "the they" that they should really be like... They could all be fleeing from this hard world into their imagination. This is the everyday diagnosis.
If 4d is truly incomprehensible from a 3d perspective. Then quite probably my understanding of what being a wanderer is about isn't right. Perhaps there is a 4d understanding where wanderers werewolves fairies angels and nature spirits are all natural expressions of what we really are.
Ra's statement was about the then moment. almost 30 years ago. The influx of other kin has greatly increased since. I think these days with the internet if you wake up one morning after a full moon having had a particularly intense dream about a four legged hunt in the woods. Figuring out there's people from all over the world who believe that is really only a 2 hour internet search. And that might be the difference between shrugging it off or exploring where that part of you came from.
I've heard the 2012 moment described as the end of the reality tunnel. Where this fixed singular reality we live in (to the degree it is anyway) stops being fixed and singular. In a way you could describe these people as experimenting with alternative realities.. Maybe so when they get there they know what to do? Almost like an angel child flapping it's wings, learning to fly.
The thing about alternative realities is that we collectively immediately call it "unrealities"...
Today I heard a story about 5 mentally retarded men entering a coffee shop and it was really cold.. So they wanted hot coffee but only one guy had enough money for one small cup.. So he bought one cup, and they stood in a circle, everyone took a small sip and then passed it on to the next guy untill the cup was empty. The girl behind the bar was in tears. The rest of the world didn't even notice. They were too wrapped up in their own self induced reality tunnels.
Who is crazy and what's real anyway?

This might range from those who think they are angels (I've personally encountered a few wanderers who thought this), fairies or nature spirits, etc.
