Letting Go of Comparison

I can speak on this one , and everything that I do speak on is from me , really is my perspective and how I experience everything . But I will tell you this okay , 99.99% of us struggle with this .

99.9999% of us struggle with this thing that we call comparison , comparison to the point that it makes you sick , to the point that it has you like oh my gosh , I'm never enough . Oh my gosh , I net like . This is the reason why the matrix , this system that we live in , why it operates . Once you get rid of comparison , you've unplugged .

Good God , I'm going to come in right now . Let's go ahead and do it . Let's understand what comparison is . See , in order for there to be comparison , that means there has to be at least dose , at least two . You cannot compare one thing If there's only one thing . You can't compare If there's only one thing . You cannot compare If there's two things .

Now we have contrast , so therefore we can compare . So here's what the issue is . We understand how the mind works spirit , mind , body . The ego lives on the mental plane . The ego operates on duality , meaning two dose Anytime there's dose , there's comparison .

Up down , left , right , day straight , republican , democrat , black , white , good , bad , right , wrong , evil , good . Do you see what happens ? So now , guess what happens . Now we're comparing them . And now , because we're comparing them , one's going to be up here and one's going to be down here . Do you not know that you're doing the same thing in your life ?

You're doing the same thing . You're not looking at all that you're doing because you're comparing yourself to somebody else . So guess what ? Now ? You only see what you're not doing . Do you see how this works ? I know , I lived this . This was me . I was so focused on what somebody else was doing because the mind was running rampant .

I was comparing myself to someone else . Well , how do we combat it , derek DJ ? How do we ? How do we like ? Tell me , like , what do I have to do ? You can't beat comparison until you realize there was nothing to win . You can't beat comparison until you recognize there was nothing to beat .

You can't overcome comparison until you recognize there was nothing to compare to . Now I'm talking on the physical plane . This is for all my 3D minds out there that just love to hear this . Let's go just a layer deeper .

When you understand that what you actually are this is for all my meditation folks out there who've been in that space , anyone who's been on that psychedelic journey , anybody who's on the healing journey they start to recognize that they are something more , something that cannot be explained through words , something that cannot be articulated , something that cannot be

experienced , something that you know without the five senses the I am the indwelling spirit , the self , the God , the essence , the breath of life , whatever you refer to it as . When you start to recognize that that's what you are , you start to see that that was the only thing there was , that , that everything else was an illusion .

It was an illusion of separation . So when I look at you right now and I'm talking to you , the illusion is that you and I are separate . But the more that we get to know each other , we start to see that we are actually each other , reflecting ourselves back to ourselves , and we start understanding the way nature of consciousness works .

Consciousness was the only one thing , the divine particle , the self , god , the source , the creator , the all , the absolute , the Brahman , it , whatever you refer to it , as it just wanted to see what it would be like if it created something else other than itself

. But we have to understand the thing about creation . See , creation will always be a part of the creator . So the creation and the creator are not separate . They are still the one thing . It's just distorted because one's carrying a lower frequency than the other .

How many times you look at somebody and you be like , oh my goodness , that is so Him , right there . You're right , it is Because the creation will never be separate from the creator . And I know I'm going off in a tanger right now , but this is sometimes what spirit does when it moves through me . So now , here you are .

You think that the one thing , that , that , that , that , that , that , that the only thing that there is . You think that you're separate from it because you live into the mind , space , and that was the illusion that God was somewhere out there .

When you recognize what you are I'm just using words that human beings use , we don't even need to use the words when you know what you are Truly , you will see that there was no comparison . The reason why there was no comparison was because there were not two , there was only one , there was only one .

There has always only been one , there will always only be one . But the mind cannot understand that . Remember , the mind operates in through duality , so there has to be a start , there has to be an ending . That's why the mind can't grasp duality . The mind can't grasp duality , sorry , it can't grasp infinity . It does not , it can't articulate .

Wait , how , wait , how ? Einstein said that through thermodynamics , energy can either be created nor destroyed . It can't be created nor destroyed . So what the f If it ain't never been created nor destroyed , what is it ? We can't even grasp it . This is what infinity is the void , the all , the absolute .

Understand what absolute means it's unchanging , there is no changing . The all , that means it's all , that is All , that is Everything , everywhere , all the time . This is what you were trying to do . You were trying to recognize , recognize . Go ahead and say it with me . Recognize , that means I'm knowing again . Re means to do over . Cognize means to know .

I'm doing it over , I'm knowing this over again , because there was a part of you , the real you , the infinite you , that already knew this . It already knew it , but you had this human experience .

You had this human experience where you forgot , you started to feel like you had to please mom and dad because , in some psychological mix with a biological response , that if I pleased them and they had a smile on their face , I was safe . And I was safe , I was taken care of . But if I was taken care of , I was alive .

And that was the number one motive of the ego . It's only job , it's only purpose was to ensure survival . So now here you are , 35 , 40 , 45 years old , you still living in fear . Right now , you still living in a state of survival , you still living from a place of lack . Why ? Why ? Because you're living through your mind .

But there was another part , there was the real part , there was the source , the awareness behind it all . This is what we refer to as the spirit . It happened on the spiritual plane , it happened on a higher frequency . This is why we call it self awareness . We go through self development . See , that self didn't have to be developed .

Good God , almighty itself never had to be developed . We needed recalling it . Mind development . You see , when I develop my mind now , I will have awareness of the self . You see , mind development , personal development , meaning I'm developing my person . When I develop my person , I develop my mind .

Now I have access to the self , and when I have access to the self , of course I'm going to have awareness , because the self already knew everything . The spirit already knew everything .

My mom used to tell me when I was young God knows the end from the beginning , knows the end from the beginning , knows the end from the beginning In order to know the end from the beginning . That means time doesn't exist . If I know the end from the beginning , that means time doesn't actually exist . Of course , of course , Of course not . Of course .

You don't why ? Because that's what you actually are the indwelling spirit that exists outside of space and time . There is no time , there is no space . Y'all ain't trying to hear me right now . Ain't nobody trying to hear me ? Tell them they ain't trying to hear me right now . You see how this works .

So you are comparing yourself because we're still living through the mind . Why are you living through the mind ? The only thing that would cause you to live through the mind is your wounds . You're still identifying with your wounds . You're still identifying with the lack . You're still identifying with . What do we refer to this as the scarcity of the mind ?

You're still identifying with the survival instincts of the mind . You're still identifying with the traumas because it held onto the traumas . Because if it held onto the traumas , no matter how painful it was , it still had something to identify with . And if it had something to identify with , it was surviving and remember . That was its only cause .

That was all it was trying to do . So we have to understand what are we ? Who are we ? I cannot tell you what you are . You can only go and experience it . Only you can experience it . And when you experience it , you will not be able to tell anyone what you are . You will just say I am , I am , that I am , I am that I am .

You see , there's nothing behind that . I never could understand that for the longest of me . Why do you say I am that I am what I don't understand ? I am , I am , the I am , because everything that came after the I am was everything that came after the I am was and the I am was everything .

So that man over there , that house , that car , that bank account that you are comparing yourself to , do you not realize that you have the same capability and you have access to it , just as he does . As long as you can get out of your own way . I am that , I am . So now , when I understand that I am , I will see that there is no comparison .

And now , because I see that there's no comparison , this is what we call perfection . Perfection , my friend , you're perfect , you're perfect , you're perfect . Hear it , hear me , hear me when I say this You're perfect . How can you not be ?

If everything is just this one thing , and we all I don't care what religion you're part of , what spirituality , what your practice is , it does not matter we can all come to one universal truth that everything is the all . How you say it is irrelevant , but you have that deep understanding . So that's the case .

If that's all there is , what am I comparing myself to ? Because I remember I had to have at least two of something . But if there's only one of everything , and I recognize that I am the one thing , what am I comparing to ? Perfection is the recognition that there is only one thing . There is no comparison , there is no contrast .

See , everything's perfect until there's something else to compare it to . You see , this vacation was perfect until you went on the next vacation . Do you see how this works ? So what's the point ? What's the point ? What's the point ? Tell me D . What's the point ? This is cool . Yeah , it got me , yeah , yeah , yeah . What's the point ?

You don't need to compare yourself to anyone . I wouldn't compare . I would compare Con con c-o-n , not compare , compare without , without . Parisin Pair means to , pair means to . There is no to . It's without to . It was just one . So , now that I recognize that I don't need to compare myself to anybody , okay , why , though , am I comparing myself ?

Oh , I know why I'm comparing myself ? Because I still rooted myself worth in people , places and things , and that was just a survival mechanism that I learned when I was young by modeling my father or my mother or my pastor or whoever .

This is actually just a wound , so I need to go back and repair that part of myself that was constantly comparing , that maybe didn't feel like it was good enough , maybe that felt shame , maybe that felt guilt , maybe it felt neglect , maybe it felt abandonment . I need to go and repair that version of myself .

If I repair that version of myself , guess what ends up happening Now ? I become just a little bit more whole , and the more whole that I am . I see myself as all that I am . Oh my goodness , the only comparison , the only competition was myself , and there wasn't even competition anymore .

I work with a lot of athletes and they think I'm nuts when I tell them that there's no competition is stupid . I'm gonna use this human words . I really don't think it's stupid , but I have to say it like this . I say this for a company like a shock value , but I say competition is ridiculous . Why would you ever compete ? For what ?

Every time that you compete , you're coming from a place of lack . Yeah , but how am I gonna beat them ? What is there to win ? Okay , you won the game . Now what ? Okay , you won the sum of money . Now what you think ? Like when you were on your death bed all of a sudden , oh yeah , he won six championships . So what ? When you die ? Guess what ?

You can go six feet in the ground like everybody else . Your mind is created though this whole construct of yeah , but if I win , then I'm validated , I'm enough . Like what does it matter ? So here's my point it's less about competition and more about creation , because creation is your divine nature . See , with the understanding , spirit can't not create .

It's constantly asking itself what I can become . But the spirit always comes from a place of abundance . Spirit does not come from a place of lack . So every time that I'm competing , I'm actually living through my ego . I'm actually living through the part of me that actually is creating comparison .

I'm living from the fractured part of me instead of the absolute , the divine part of me . Do you see how this works ? So I stopped competing . When you stop competing , you'll stop comparing . When you stop comparing , you can start creating . And this is the three C's , triple C's , right here Competition . Get rid of it .

You'll get rid of comparison , which will give you creation . And minus comparison equals creation . So I know for me personally , as a quote unquote former athlete , I always thought I was supposed to win and create . Beat everybody . Now I'm like I ain't nothing to win , there's nothing to win , there's nothing to win , nothing .

So now I don't even have to compare . I mean , did you see what he had to do when he did this ? Wow , that's cool . Good for him , fantastic . I hope he learns all the lessons that he needs to along his journey when he's in that part of his life . Cool , what can I do in my life to learn just a little bit more . What am I capable of ?

Who can I become ? What can I do ? You see , it's always reflect , reflect , reflect , reflect , reflect . The moment that you realize that there was nothing to win , you'll stop running the mother rat race , and this is what the Matrix did . The Matrix made you think that there was something to win by making you think that there was something to lose .

Do you see how this works ? You think that there's something to lose . So what are you doing ? You're competing to win , but when you realize that there was nothing that you could lose , I don't even have to . Y'all got it . Go ahead , go ahead

. Somebody said what happened to . Somebody broke in and they did have it . You can take it , you can have it . I've done this before . I've done this . I had it . I told you I was a part of fraud . I lost everything , everything . I want to tell you everything , everything .

I woke up on Christmas morning of 2019 with an alert from Chase Banks saying a negative $135 with no money coming in . I was unemployment from the state of Indiana , trying to get money just so I could survive . I would take that money and go pay a babysitter and go sit out in the woods .

So I've been here and I realized I was so afraid of losing something because I thought I had to win . I stopped running the race when I realized there was nothing to win . There was nothing to win , there was nothing to win . But the rat race made me think you got to make this much , you got to have this by this , you got to have .

So now , what does that do ? It creates a scarcity mindset , Creates a survival , competitive alpha male , the complete opposite of my divine nature . My divine nature says here you can have it . So when I tell you I've been there , I lost everything . We had a $250,000 quarter of a million dollar settlement . This guy said hey , I did you wrong here .

I'm gonna give you $250,000 . But in order for you to get this , you have to sign this non-disclosure that says you cannot mention anything else about me . You cannot talk about it just as you're doing on your podcast . You cannot go on and write a book about it . You cannot make a movie about it .

You cannot discuss anything that I have done to you purposely , ever , if you want this $250,000 . I have to tell you this , because I never expressed this before , that $250,000 was quote unquote needed . That $250,000 would have helped in the financial and the material world . But guess what ? I realized there was nothing to win here .

There was nothing to win , so I let the $250,000 . I said I'm not signing that you go ahead , cause somehow , somehow inside , deep down inside , I knew that that $250,000 was gonna keep me from being able to help people . I don't know if I have this podcast , cause I can't talk about my journey , I can't talk about my experiences . You see how this works .

Somehow my higher self already knew , because the real me already existed outside of space and time and , as my mama used to say , the spirit God already knew the end for the beginning . So it knew you can't sign this , don't you do it .

And there was something in my solar plexus shocker that wouldn't allow me to take action , to the point where my attorney , who I was paying $5,000 a month to that I didn't even have the money to he said you're crazy for not signing this . I said you're right , you're right , I am crazy . I'm crazy in your world .

Then I understood how Jesus felt when the Pharisees said who do you say you are ? And Jesus said I am . Whoever you say I am , because I will be whatever you . However , you see me because you and I are the same thing . I'm just mere reflection of you .

Now I'm here to tell you this right now that 250,000 that I didn't get was the best thing that I never got . It was the best thing . Hear me when I say this . Hear the paradox it was the best thing that I never got . Normally , you think the best thing is when you receive something no , no , no , it was the best thing that I never got .

I sit and reflect tears of joy , tears of gratitude of how many lives I've been able to touch , how many lives I've been able to touch through my testimony , through my hardship , through my struggle . If I had not been through that , I don't even know if this is touching you in this way .

I don't even know if it's having the impact on you If I had not been able to talk about it . Forget about the money . What about the souls ? What about the lives ? What about people's hearts who needed to be healed ? But they needed to trust you . In order to trust you , they needed to know your story .

They needed to know that you weren't somebody's these social media people getting on just talking about something , cause they read something in the book . They needed to know . No , he got mud on him . He's been in the trenches , he been at the top of the top and the low of the low . We need to make sure that he's safe , safe , we need to sniff him out .

But if I sign that , I don't know if I can even sniff me out . Maybe you would have been able to , maybe I would have resonated with your spirit enough . But my point of this is this it wasn't until I let go . It wasn't until I let go and I said I don't care , ain't nothing here to win , there ain't nothing to win .

I don't care if I make it great , if I don't make it great , If I don't , I don't care , I don't even care . It wasn't until I let go . Remember , the spirit holds on to no thing and that's why it's everything . So comparison , comparison , is one of the biggest things that keep us from seeing the divine that is within us , the divine that we are .

It's comparison . Spirit never compared itself to anything because it realized it was everything . And when you live from the place of the spirit , the self , the essence of what you actually are , your divine nature , there will be no comparison and there will be no competition . So the 3D minds ask me sometimes they say well , what are you ? You don't have goals .

No , I don't have goals . If I'm being honest with you , I have intentions . I have intentions . I have . Dg has intentions of where he wants to go . But DG also understands , through deep , extensive work on himself , that spirit's gonna take him wherever he needs to go , so his heart can heal wounds and learn .

On this incarnation , if we look at quantum mechanics of it , the observer is what collapsed the wave into the particle . When you give attention , when you give attention , you give attention . When you give attention . You cannot have attention without intention . Intention is what comes first . When I give intention , I will have an intention .

And attention is what collapsed , the wave into the particle , and that particle is what froze and materialized itself into matter , and matter is what I call my reality . It was about me being intentional . It was about being intentional . So if this has helped you at all along your journey , I'm grateful . I'm grateful that I could be the one who could help you .
