Going Up the Bat: Dis-illusion

[Guest guest]

I call it going up the bat. The game of deciding which side will be first at

bat in a baseball game. Then someone says, " no eagle tops " which means you

cannot grasp the top of the bat like a claw to get the last place.

It is competitive, it is aggresive and it is hostile in motivation and

intent.

My god is better that your god, My version of reality is more truthful than

yours, my insight is deeper than yours.

Up they go, up the bat. Mine is better, bigger, stronger, or more real than

yours.

It can get very intircate and complex as humans compete for spiritual

advantage and the superior place.

Watch it here in this article and the responses.

It is a subtle form of suffering, wanting to be on top, the best, the

biggest.

And here it is.

" You will never find it until you let go of it. You will never see it until

you stop looking for it. " Where on the bat does that fit?
