Humility to the Rescue

Our feelings are real, but they may not be reality.
Our thoughts are real, but they may not be reality either.

We don't have control over the feelings and thoughts which rise up from within us.  At least we don't have control over them when they FIRST come to our consciousness.  We do have control over what we do with our thoughts and feelings when we become conscious of them.

There are specific action steps which bring our thoughts and feelings into alignment with what is Truth: In this third moon cycle, we come to know Truth by seeing all sides of every situation, inquiring always for more clarity. Our willingness to set aside our personal opinion, will clear our mind of all superiority, pride and power related to class, race, sex, wealth, popularity and personality. When we endeavor to level the playing field between ourselves and others, we keep our ego 'right-sized'.  An ego which is 'right-sized' is an ego can live with humility. Humility is the counterbalance to arrogance.  Humility is protector against false feelings and false thinking.  Humility is the forerunner of right action. Humility precedes discernment.


Self Reflection: How do I understand the difference between 'humility' and 'humiliation' (shame)?
