I don’t know. But what I have found is that the Law of One resonates with me in a way that I’ve never experienced. Does that make me a wanderer? Beats me. But does it really matter?
When I first heard about this whole wanderer thing, I thought it was just another fine example of society over labeling. But I do understand the meaning behind it, about how we're possibly a mishmash of different origins, and wanderers is just one part of that.
I have learned to fit well enough within society and its efficiencies, but I believe the primary difference is the acceptance of everything at face value or not. I believe in a deeper meaning to life and to all this nonsense you see on the news.
As part of my personal journey, I used to worry more about whether I was special or unique in the universe, perhaps to be a VIP in the grand scheme of the universe. While it's ok to feel different, I think that relying too much on such labeling is counter productive to personal growth. Instead, I've learned to be the best that I can be, within the current moment. To love and truly appreciate every person and every moment.
Sorta like walking through life as a person carrying 2 buckets of water on a stick... if you try to dash ahead uncaringly, the water will splash everywhere... but if you calm your heart and walk forward steadily, your buckets of water will be full.
