This tendency has not served us well in separating one race from another, one stratum of society from another, one species from another. We are still rising above these tendencies. If an individual doesn't think he/she is engaged at all anymore with these separating tendencies, and that ego has been transcended, great. But don't fall into the same tendencies with different criteria, seemingly of higher consciousness, whereby one might trade one set of patterns for another for the unconscious purpose of separating again.
It is helpful to be aware of what origins and lessons one might be dealing with in order to make sense of one's life; categorizing to a point might shed light on purpose and direction. Beyond that, we may be just playing with ego and separation.
Well said!
