Well, I think what happens is its just so hard to make sense of being here, of being alive in this form and yet knowing, however dim or sharp the awareness of, our divinity within. So when we look around, and say we spot an extremely gorgeous person at our work, same sex as us, and this person gets all the attention of the opposite sex, never is in need of a date, we may feel cheated that such a person has such fortune, and its our sense of divinity within that makes us exclaim.."I deserve to be loved, appreciated that way." Yet come Friday we have no date and the other person is laughing out the door hand in hand with the date we wanted to be with.
Another example is a person has lots of money and thus they have so few worries, at least of the money kind. And then we may have so many worries..such as a relative needs an expensive operation and has no money to pay for it, and our kids want to go to college to better themselves but no money to send them, our car is broken down but no money to fix it and we need it to go to work or we'll lose our job. And so we see this rich person, and their 'problems' and we make comparisons of all the things we could do to help everyone if we only had their situation. Then we may resent them becasue they complain about their problems...which matter to them, but from our stance their problems are "shallow" so thus judgment arises and it feels very justified.
So its this split...the divine within that tells us all is equal, and then the without that is the opposite picture. So it can be very difficult to align, because the truths that need to be seen are not the things that are on the surface or most apparent obvious or even pending. The truths are hidden almost, so subtle and require much sacrifice for us to be able to view them. Why sacrifice? Well, we must, in order to reach these truth, cross that graveyard of discontent...and it so hard to do and so few people seek to do it. Warriors are the only breed of people I know with the guts. Why do they do it? To get to the nagual...haha, sounds like the "why did the chicken cross the road?" riddle..."why did the warrior cross the graveyard of disappointment and desperation? Why to get to the other side." Or is that... to break on thru to the other side?
