One man's vision can change the world in a day.
My point: I am humanity in what I choose to do in reflection of what it has taught me. You cannot consider any man less than human in his choices.
I am allowed to be who I am today directly by humanity. I am a choice of humanity just as the man that conforms to the mean. If a man chooses not to work, not to contribute, humanity chose that condition as well.
Every individual represents the whole.
My only point with what I said was, to tie into the discussion on page one, that you might be denying yourself potentially valuable catalyst by choosing to not engage yourself in a workplace situation because there is quite a difference between seeking the self in solitude vs. seeking the self in a social group environment. It's the nature of this creation that we're dependant on eachother while we're here. It's the choice of the wanderer to seek in solitude or to seek with respect to the inherent connections we have with others, especially those closest to us and most affected by us.
Of course, each entity generates its own catalyst, and you're generating what's most valuable for you. And beyond that there is the fact that "each Wanderer, in offering itself before incarnation, has some special service to offer in addition to the doubling effect of planetary love and light and the basic function of serving as beacon or shepherd." I have met at least one wanderer who had somewhat severe problems merging with the society in that way... job, car, and all that. But the more I got to know him the more it seemed like his unique service as a wanderer was a more art-focused career path, and if he were to concentrate on trying to achieve and maintain the status quo like that, he might lose sight of the fire within him, which he was barely beginning to discover.
But then even knowing that one's own unique service as an awakened wanderer is something that lies far beyond the constraints of society, how does one approach that in respect to the shared connections we have with eachother? (That question was not directed at you in particular)
