You might consider that finding limiting beliefs and other gunk in others makes you MORE kindred to them. Just like you, just like me, just like just about everyone* -- we all have in common that it's much easier to see other people's gunk than it is to see your own. For me, that's a source of compassion. To see that just like me, others are unconsciously trying to avoid having people find out their limiting beliefs are true, and at the same time trying to prove they are not true. Exhausting, huh? It's wonderful, it's exhilarating, to unconceal the unconscious limits, and even the limits are limitless. As Byron Katie says, "you're never done."
*Actually, I don't think any humans are completely free of limiting beliefs. I think that's part of the human game, and when you completely transcend limiting belief, it's time for the next stage. Hanging around being a limitless human, I think, would be like being a psychic spending all her time playing "Clue."
