Feeling more spiritual than other people is a sign pride moved in.

Feeling further along than the people around you is the one spiritual symptom that is always bad news. It arrives dressed as discernment, as being serious, as caring more than the others do, and it quietly turns every room into a ranking with you near the top. The moment you are measuring is the moment you have stopped paying attention. Whatever you thought you were growing, that is not it.

Catch the comparison once this week and do something plain about it. Ask somebody you had written off to tell you something. Then listen without correcting it.
