The Divine Purpose of the Outcast and the Homeless

Several months ago I learned something interesting about monkeys. Apparently they will often reject one of the members of the group for whatever reason, perhaps a personality problem, making that member an outcast. The outcast isn’t permitted to join the group. Feeling depressed and unwanted he hangs out a distance from the group.

This behavior it turns out is beneficial because being a distance from the group and not blinded and distracted by social interaction he is aware and first to see the approaching predator, of which there are many. Sounding the cry of alarm the outcast saves the lives of the group. The outcast becomes the HERO. So what may appear as a flawed individual is actually a perfect part of the system and important for the survival of the group.

Recently being in New York I saw some of the many homeless as I have seen in almost every city, usually prone on the side walk, one in pain with a swollen foot, some one poured hydrogen peroxide on it, but this is not what he needed. They are positioned that you cannot help but notice them; they could find a secluded spot but do not, they are at one’s feet.

I thought to myself what divine reason is there for this role to be played? And what a gift to us that these individuals would play this role, which we all know is not a pleasant one.

Now you see that they are the early warning sign that the system is sick. They are the sign that the body, us as a whole, is becoming overwhelmed and the system is out of balance. Before it was only the biggest cities and there was not as many. The number has grown.

The homeless are the cry of alarm, like the outcast monkey, to warn us that the predator is approaching but we won’t hear their cry of alarm, as Marianne Williamson pointed out they are making laws to keep them off the sidewalks, no sitting on the sidewalks. So we deprive ourselves of the right to on the sidewalk so we can’t hear or see the warning cry. What does that tell us….the name of the predator, which is Ignorance.

So the next time you see a homeless person, thank them for playing the role, hand them ten dollars and say “this is from God, that will make them think twice and have an effect on there perspective. Then hand him another dollar and say to him you will always keep this dollar for you will never be forced to spend it.

I remind you that man is a part of nature, he is not separate, and nature always returns to balance.

Horses, under severe circumstances, will make outcasts, of unruly colts. It is the mares, who are in charge of the disciplin of the youngn's. If a colt is causing trouble, (... biting the fillies, etc...I have never heard of delinquent behavior, in the female equine) a mare will cut him out of the herd and he will not be allowed to come back in, for a while... When the mare feels the colt has learned the lesson, she will allow him back, into the herd. The unruly colt gets one chance. If the disruptive behavior persists, the colt will be forced out and not allowed back into the herd. The colt knows, it is only a matter of time before it is set upon, by predators and will usually, go some distance away from the herd, give up and die, or become so weak, that it can no longer defend itself.
