LEVELS OF PERSONAL EVOLUTION

I heard once that to improve your life you should hook up with those at your level or above. I thought about that and felt a little off put by the perspective. Seemed a little judgmental to me, how do you know what level I am at????? And why would that matter???? We are taught to be seperate and competitive, neither of those things is loving yourself and others unconditionally. Enough said. IT TEACHES THAT SOME ARE WORTHY AND SOME ARE NOT, REMEMBER ALL THE LESSONS ARE YOURS. I see us as equals here and feel a kinship to all in some way shape or form or another. Good enough?? I think so.
