Someone’s phrase today amazed me: “Compare yourself OUT, or identify yourself WITH.”

Separate, or create intimacy. Pull away, or pull towards. I’m better than (comparison). Or identify WITH.

We compare to enable us to separate; to feed our self-hate (not accepting compliments, feeding shame, they’re better than this better looking than that) or to feed our ego and superiority (suppressed anger, fear, and shame). Because the fact is, we are spiritual beings having a human experience. Therefore, we have to MAKE THE EFFORT NOT TO RELATE TO ONE ANOTHER. We have to put in substantial strength to make us NOT WHO WE ALREADY ARE. We are feeling beings, we are emotional creatures, and it is THAT that is authentic and real, amazing and true. Yet we try so hard to not be who we intrinsically are.

“It is not our light, not our darkness which most frightens us…”

If we identify with, it takes us INTO ourfeelings. While comparing takes us OUT of our feelings. Because the less we can feel, the easier it is to judge one person below or above another. The MORE we feel, the more DIFFICULT it is to place one being above or below another. Because the truth is that we are NOT above or below. We are equal. It is only by NOT feeling that we can come to believe that we are not connected, not equal, not emotional, and not a community of unified life.
