Crossing The Barrier
Most ordinary beings aren’t interested in their true reality as they’re bustling around, engaged in one-upmanship. The problem for spiritual adherents/devotees is being given answers, and then bustling around, engaged in one-upmanship.
This competitiveness inhibits crossing the barrier into the actual experience of realisation, empathy and compassion. Crossing the barrier, we are no longer concerned with being better than others.
Everyone, at some point, will realise that they can only be pure consciousness.
When pride no longer governs,
that is the beginning of spiritual friendship.
Having trouble with the koan.
Hope I’m not “longer up concerned” with being better 🤣
Ha! Thank you for your eagle eyes. 😀 Tony
