Theme: We live in societies where most of us take for granted that we have electricity and can stay up for as long as we want. The notion of being tied to the cycle of sunlight, and being restricted by candlelight and wood fires at night is not one that enters into our minds; except, perhaps, when we go camping, and even then there are portable electrical devices which can ease the experience.
We also take it for granted that we live in fairly liberal democracies, where, on paper, we get to elect the people that end up governing us. This was not the case when we go back 300, 400 years, when monarchs and Royalty held onto the reins of governance, and it was passed down as familial lines. The haves and the have-nots was not only brazen (it's still present today), but the 'right to rule' was seen as some sort of genetic trait.
So what does this have to do with the earlier Wanderers?
If Ra is to be taken on face value, then around 200 years ago, a greater number of 3d entities were beginning to incarnate with heart-level activations, and were consciously directing their incarnational processes. As part of providing a supportive environment for their particular Learning, the current societies had to be 'softened' up a little, and loosened from the rigid lord/serf relationships.
This provided an opportunity for Wanderers (according to Ra) to incarnate, and offer their vantage points (perspectives) to the current societies.
The Industrial Revolution had this Goal:
But even before that could happen, the ideas and philosophies around Free Will had to find circulation.
So we take it for granted that we have internet, youtube, mobile phones, and tv screens. Even back when I was growing up in the 80's, having so many (and individual) electronic devices was not a given. The earliest consoles (NES, Sega Megadrive) were seen as miracles.
But think of a period before electricity, before running water. Think of candles and chamber pots.
This was the common way of life. Wanderers who have chosen this period where we are now, have a physically easier life, I would venture to say, in general.
The earlier Wanderers chose a much more difficult assignment (in my view), given the kinds of societies in which they chose - given both the technological, as well as social aspects relative to ours.
Looking back in retrospect, I think we can be grateful that they paved the way for modernity, and the relative ease and comfort that we can experience in our rooms and houses.
For me, the circumstances in the present are most supportive, and enabling of the kind of Work that I think is dearest to my Heart. But all this is built (and predicated) on much Work that came previous. For that, I can say thanks to these earlier Wanderers, as well as all those who contributed towards movements towards personal freedom.

11.29 Wrote:That is correct. Wanderers incarnated in several waves, as you may call them, in order to bring into existence the gradual freeing from the demands of the diurnal cycles and lack of freedom of leisure.
But even before that could happen, the ideas and philosophies around Free Will had to find circulation.
26.13 Wrote:The Wanderers which came among you began to make themselves felt at approximately this time, firstly offering ideas or thoughts containing the distortion of free will. This was the prerequisite for further Wanderers which had information of a more specific nature to offer. The thought must precede the action.
