Liberating Our Otherism
When Buddha ‘woke up’ to his true nature, he recognized the idea of separateness, ego-clinging, as the source of all our suffering and disconnection. Ego-clinging drives all our divisiveness—all the racism, ageism, gender bias, political divides, wars, etc. The ego maintains its identity by distinguishing itself from ‘others’. I call this fear of what we do not understand, “otherism.”
