"the urge to buy our own innocence at the price of their guilt? buy our superiority at the expense of their inferiority......"
"That is just stating it as it is. This is what is taking place, when we try and position ourselves, in separation."
But is this really what is occurring as stated? Is it really about positioning, as you say? Instead of positioning, I'd say its communicating.
"There is no need to reflect negatively on ourselves if we find ourselves
doing that, or beat ourselves up, or judge ourselves harshly"
Absolutely, in fact that's what my posts here are saying, embrace our feelings (all of them) as positives.
Consider there is no dilemma with superior and inferior...that it all is merely reaching for unity. If as children we felt inferior in instances, its natural as adults to seek balance for what was incorrect abotu us in the first place. What is first done, though, is a type of over correction. So superior is never truly that, its just a feeling of wanting power back and over compensating for it. Its a natural feeling because we are power, everyone. At first the person does not see it as everyone, at first the person is seeking personal balance. And when a bunch of people are doing it at the same time, its experienced as separation and tension, but truly the desire in everyone is the same, to belong, be together and complete. And this unity already is, just it does not seem it at first and any actions taken are a way of communicating this. No one is being inferior or superior, they are responding to the fragmentation in the world.
I'm saying your "buying superiority" is not that, its merely a way of communicating to the world you feel inferior, which you are not that either. The fact that you feel inferior is what needs to be corrected, not the other way around (no need to correct the superior feeling). Embrace everything in you as good, including what you think is your positioning for superiority. We are all superior so you would not be wrong. If we are all superior (complete and content) then no one loses. But we have to get to that point first, in understanding.
