Dear K.

No not competition but comprehension of a universal fact.

We are "beneath" anyone or anything. This is not pride or selfishness but
a statement made only by the ONE PURE SPIRIT of which we are "as a ray" an
embodiment. In our Higher Nature (the Monad -- ATMA-BUDDHI-MANAS).

"Evil" by definition becomes a denial of this condition and power in us --
is it not a vast error? 

The cure is brotherhood and compassion -- the giving of ourselves to others
and trying to assist wherever we are allowed?

Dallas

Let me paraphrase you an Interesting excerpt from your e-mail :

(...) Our sense of "freedom," when exaggerated, makes us try to be
different from our fellows to compete instead of cooperate.(...)

So is this the main reason of man´s competition for the highest place
everywhere?
Gold medals?
1st prizes?
Winning competitions?
Have the best car?
Take the best grades at school?
Be the richest in the family?
Just a desire of getting differerent?
............................................................................
..........
You also said or quoted:
(...) 1. Selfishness, 2. ignorance and doubt, 3.
blind-faith, 4. passion and anger, 5. hatred, 6. lust,
7. ambition and fame, 8. haughtiness and pride, 9.
self-righteousness, and 10. the fear of being found wrong,
(and being made responsible).(...) ...............................

IMO, that is a crescendo that really can explain the separativeness that
comes from the moment man feels like an individual, not a part of the
creation.
Very valuable these excerpts.

I would also add another evil force : Modern western religions: They´re an
explicit source of separativeness.God up there and we, sinners down
here.(lol)
