Mike, if comparing is happening, you can't do it wrong! :-) If comparing is here, it just might be a signal that wakefullness is not here. I am not sure that telling someone who is comparing to stop comapring, to therefore be in "just this" or to be in the "truth" is useful. The comparing mind is already not true, is already asleep, and it's behavioral modification only makes it a quieter mind--not the truth of true nature--Awareness is here. :-)
Pt 1 I have done this a lot in the past and I still do it now even though I realize exactly what I'm doing now and how insane it is. My current source of suffering is that I know, on a body/mind level that there is no doership and that I cannot cause liberation to occur, but as Lisa says, that is absolutely BRUTAL to hear, to realize, and to understand. Because I am still seeking and the awareness that all my seeking is and will be to no avail (truly) is extremely frustrating and disheartening.
I have had moments--days, even--of release into pure awareness, but that awakening has not stabilized at all here, yet. So I am left with the realization that there is absolutely nothing I can do to cause liberation/awakening/release to occur on a deep, permanent level, and yet....I can help but crave that more than anything else.
nobody can have the same experience as you because only YOU experienced it. It's totally subjective. Hence to compare one person with another is insanity. You can only compare you to you, if you really want to compare anything at all!
