This means dropping comparisons, dropping the need to be ‘higher’ or ‘better.’
The spiritual path isn’t about hierarchy or superiority. It’s about honesty with ourselves and others.
That honesty frees us from the cunning traps of the mind. It lets us become whole.
Presently, I wonder if there could be a third way out. Like something or somewhere where I could do both.
Where I could burn bright but without turning into a black dwarf.
