From Ken:
"Any feeling of specialness, that you are superior or inferior, this is a form of pride. And pride is the antithesis of equanimity. When we open to the world of experience, our own experience, there is no specialness. The idea of being special actually becomes absurd, because there's no basis of comparison. We just have this experience. So this is how we access or experience equanimity."

After we listen through the entire chapter over the coming weeks, we'll go back and listen to Ken teaching through the Four Immeasurables via six podcast classes, available here: http://www.unfetteredmind.org/category/class/the-four-immeasurables
