HUMILITY: The 6th Teaching

7/21/2013

                KNOW THAT YOU ARE EQUAL TO EVERYONE ELSE.
        NO BETTER OR NO LESS, JUST THE SAME AS ANYBODY ELSE.


           As someone who was raised in a White (European) culture, humility was considered the opposite of strength. And therefore one would not
want to be seen as humble (or weak). To be humiliated was to be subjecated or oppressed. Today humiliating usually is applied to a specific incident; he walked into the meeting with his fly open. To understand this 6th of the Grandfathers’ Teachings we need to open our mind to a different view of humility; humility as simply being the opposite of arrogance. 
         
 Again there is the problem of judgment that humankind has become
so fond of. Usually starting from a place of I am not enough, followed quickly with “but you are less than me, so I guess I am ok”. When we understand humility in the context of the Grandfathers’ Teachings we can move easily beyond judgment to acceptance; not just of others but of
ourselves.
          I wish I could say more about this subject but really it is quite clear, ALL HUMANKIND HAVE EQUAL VALUE.  At first you might look at all the
people society has labeled as worthless (my beautiful street friends), and
assert “I’m not the same them! I work, I pay taxes; surely I am more valuable than those people”.  NOPE you’re not. Here comes the bonus of practicing humility. Once you accept that you are no better than anyone else, you realize that you are no less than anyone else. No matter how rich, powerful, or famous someone is they are no better than you are. Classism is part of the 3rd dimensional mindset of lack; assigning value to persons so as to determine who gets the lion's share of limited resources.      
          As we move into a 5th dimensional understanding of manifestation, we are able to stop worrying about "getting our's" we simply trust that what we need will be available to us when we need it. We no longer need to be more deserving, we only need to be trusting.

 Have a Joyous Day
 p.s. I have a surprise coming very soon  ;-)

The secret of a leader lies in the tests he has faced over the whole course of his life and the habit of action he develops in meeting those tests.
