What You've Been Looking For

Comparison the route to suffering


Listen Later

Whether we're comparing 'up' to others who look like they've got it sorted, 'down' to others who don't and feeling guilty that we have it better, or comparing 'nowhere' into an imagined future self or job or situation - the moment we identify with any of that, we're lost.

Whereas before the uncomfortable feelings that come with identified-comparison would have been taken as a signal to fix this life, or income level, or social status, or health, what we invite you to here is to take those feelings as a signal that you're believing something to be true that can't be true. It's an invitation to look behind the curtain and see the constant behind the fluctuating experiences and see the reliable mechanism - when we're caught in me-based thought and believing it, it's going to feel yukky.

Listen in, notice what occurs to you, and get in touch if you want to talk about anything we discuss or to ask any questions. Just go to the website www.whatyouvebeenlookingfor.com

If you enjoy this and know others who you think might benefit please share on so they can hear it too.

With love,
