Wanderer or Pride & Ego?

[Greg]

I match the profile of a wanderer very closely, and I have had a few recent experiences that lend support to the idea that I am one. Something deep inside me confirms that this is the case, and yet, there is always lingering doubt. This doubt is worth addressing because I only want the truth; I don't want to trick myself into believing something that is not real just because it's something I want to believe.

So I have started doing mental exercises in which I tell myself that it is not desirable to be a wanderer, and that being a third-density Earth native would be a preferable state of being. Where is the pride and ego in believing that you are something that is not desirable?

Beyond the obvious fact that all is one and that we are all experiencing fragments of the same consciousness at varying stages of development, consider, also, that every single human on planet Earth is already existing simultaneously with their 6th density higher selves. Wanderers are not above anyone -- they have simply made a choice that anyone is free to make.

You could argue that in their present physical incarnations, wanderers are still more spiritually developed than the present third-density incarnations of non-wanderers. I believe that this mental roadblock must be addressed in order to remove pride and ego from the equation and address the real underlying question of "am I a wanderer?" as honestly as possible, if only for ourselves.

Here is an analogy that has helped me wrestle with this topic: Imagine that, if you are a wanderer, you are simply the teacher in a classroom full of young elementary school students. The knee-jerk reaction to hearing this scenario matches how we might typically imagine a wanderer -- someone of higher knowledge, higher experience, higher intelligence, with a level of understanding about the world that the young students lack.

But think more realistically about the teachers that you've actually had in classrooms throughout your life. Were they all wise, knowledgeable and smarter than all of their students? No, of course not. I've had awful teachers growing up, who taught wrong information and were not necessarily any smarter than their students, many of whom would grow up to pursue completely different career paths beyond the intellectual reach of that specific teacher.

Rather, the elementary school teachers I had were teachers because they CHOSE to be teachers, not because they were necessarily qualified to be teachers. The same is true of wanderers. We may be "older" in the spiritual sense, just as a teacher is older than his or her students. But is a teacher any better than a child in the classroom? No, of course not. They are merely at different stages in development, and the teacher has made the decision to become a teacher -- a decision that is not yet available to any student in the classroom, yet also a decision that will later be made available to EVERY student in the classroom.
