  • Discussion on Wanderers
    Jun 17 2025

    Based on this transcription, here are the key themes that emerged from this spiritual discussion about "wanderers":

    My Personal Discovery Experience

    I'll never forget September 2nd, 2015 - the exact date is burned into my memory. I was in the other room while family was visiting, secretly doing my esoteric studying because I didn't want to scare my wife with my interests. Then I received a simple email with the subject "Mind expanding material" and a link to llresearch.com.

    When I clicked on that link, something extraordinary happened. It was as if someone physically moved my face to focus on a subtitle that read "Are you a wanderer?" I felt almost compelled - like something overtook my body and forced me to click. What I read there was so profound it literally sent me into what felt like a new dimension for two hours.

    The message was simple but powerful: "You are not alone." It spoke about souls from higher densities who had volunteered for a mission in response to Earth's cries of confusion and pain. This completely blew my mind because I'd never told anyone about my childhood fascination with aliens, out-of-body experiences, telepathy, Atlantis, and pyramids. As a kid in rural Texas, I used to hide esoteric magazines like other kids hid inappropriate material. I even told my parents in first grade after a UFO encounter that I wasn't really from here - and my dad just said "Yeah, we know."

    That night I sat in silence and darkness, tears streaming down my face for two hours. I experienced a full Kundalini awakening - energy rising and popping at the top of my head, followed by an energetic shift that lasted three weeks. This launched me into studying the Law of One material with incredible fervor.

    Broader Themes from the Discussion

    The Nature of Wanderers: The group explored the concept from the Law of One material describing wanderers as souls primarily from sixth density who volunteer to incarnate on Earth to help with the planet's spiritual evolution. These souls come from unified social memory complexes and take great risk in forgetting their true nature to serve here.

    Universal Experience of Alienation: Multiple participants shared experiences of feeling different, not fitting in, or sensing they don't belong on Earth. This alienation often begins in childhood and includes heightened sensitivity to energies, emotions, and the suffering of others.

    Spiritual Awakening Journeys: Several people described profound spiritual experiences, kundalini awakenings, and moments of cosmic consciousness that confirmed their sense of being here for a larger purpose.

    The Challenge of Sensitivity: Many discussed the difficulty of being highly sensitive - picking up on others' emotions, collective suffering, and discordant energies. This sensitivity can be overwhelming and isolating.

    Internal Work as Primary Mission: A key theme emphasized that the most important work wanderers can do is internal - knowing themselves, accepting themselves, and becoming integrated before attempting to serve others. Multiple participants noted that external service without this foundation can actually cause harm.

    Finding Community: The discussion highlighted how meaningful it is to find others who understand these experiences, providing validation and relief from the loneliness that often accompanies the spiritual path.

    The Paradox of Attachment: While the wanderer identity can be deeply validating, there was recognition that ultimately it doesn't matter - what matters is simply being authentic and serving with full presence, regardless of cosmic origins.

    Purification and Release: The group explored how many spiritually-oriented people seem to be here to release and purify rather than accumulate, often experiencing challenges that serve a greater cleansing purpose for collective consciousness.

    The overarching message was one of solidarity among seekers who feel called to something greater, while acknowledging both the gifts and challenges that come with spiritual sensitivity and service.

  • Unveiling the Tripolar Self: A Rohrian Psycho-Spiritual Framework
    May 21 2025

    This essay presents Doug Scott's psychospiritual framework called "The Tripolar Self," which integrates Richard Rohr's teachings on the True Self/False Self with the perennial wisdom of the Law of Three.

    The framework consists of three elements:

    1. The Significant Self: The agential self that makes meaning of experiences and oscillates between two depths.
    2. The Floating Self: Corresponds to Rohr's "false self"—operating from a rigid, fragile perspective focused on validation and control. Its ethos is "transcend and exclude."
    3. The Anchored Self: Represents Rohr's "true self"—our deepest identity beneath all roles and personas. Its ethos is "include and transcend."

    The Law of Three explains transformation through three phases: contrast (recognizing differences between our Floating and Anchored Selves), tension (experiencing the pull between them), and resolution (integrating both aspects from the perspective of the Anchored Self).

    Transformation occurs primarily through "Great Love and Great Suffering," both requiring vulnerability and surrender of control. The essay explains how living primarily from the Floating Self creates constant struggle for validation, while operating from the Anchored Self brings groundedness and the ability to hold paradox.

    The goal isn't to eliminate the Floating Self but to redeem it, using it as a vehicle for service from the perspective of the Anchored Self. The essay concludes that life's purpose isn't the pursuit of happiness but the discovery of meaning—learning to "die well and often" by surrendering to the Anchored Self while using the Floating Self to do good in the world.
