A Sharing??? *edited*

Are you saying that sharing common beliefs is separation?

"Sharing" common beliefs is deluding oneself and others. I don't consider participating in a campaign of spreading a lie around as a sharing. It most definitely is helping to set a standard whereby to judge others. This is nothing more than helping to spread a feeling of separation.

Sustaining an ideal for others to look up to is, at the same time, creating a bottomless pit for others to be labeled and tossed into when they don't meet the grade of the image you are helping to falsify and maintain.

For example you are helping to uphold the mythology surrounding Mahatma Gandhi. Putting such people on a pedestal, making some sort of super being out of them, is helping only to spread a belief mired in separation. Mahatma Ghandi is no god, by any means, but the picture you are helping to perpetuate is helping to delude others and to draw them into the mud of comparison. Comparing oneself to some perfect person is a dis-ease. Such is the herd mentality. As if you are an agent for self-defeatism. It is encouraging others to adopt a non acceptance attitude for themselves. Because the non acceptance of oneself can only lead to non acceptance of others.

This leads, first, to a division within oneself, to a subtle self condemnation, then separtion from others, to condemnation of others, then more conflict. And hence results in the world as it exists today. Drop the notion that anyone outside yourself is who you should compare yourself to. Everyone is unique and as ordinary as anybody else. Drop the ideals. Drop beliefs and be at peace with yourself. And then you have something to really share. Instead of propounding  a false ideal, ideology, or 'common' belief... and then labeling it a 'sharing' which it is not.
