My first understanding of the word Humility was of the type of person depicted by Charles
Dickens whom he called 'URIAH HEEP' who was grovelling in a obsequious manner, forever
making reference to his feigned humbleness, that in my ignorance at that time was what I thought
humility actually was, it was not until later in life that I began to see the real nature and divine
value that lies hidden within the principle of humility. Now I understand the principle to be that
of forever remaining 'teachable; to fully realise that my ignorance will always be greater than my
knowledge or any wisdom gained. To have an honest appraisal of ourselves, where we see both
our positive and negative sides, and accept them both as equal aspects of what we are. Humility
reveals the true nature of being, without adding on any pretentious nonsense that our ego's
embellish us with, we truly see ourselves honestly warts and all, With this insight into ourselves
we can therefore be much more forgiving of our friends and family, because we see ourselves in
them, and understand the frailties of the flesh, The home of Humility lies in the inner realms of
the soul, Humility is an energy that is born out of Divine love, it unifies it's host vehicle and sends
out unifying energy which effects those around.
Humility knows that all life is connected and interconnected, there is no separation or apartness
anywhere in reality, the idea of apartness exists only within a very limited mind, if we open our
minds then we will see that the whole of humanity is united and infused with Divine unconditional
love. This time of the year can be a time of reflection, a time of realising that we in the west have
so much, with our tables groaning under the weight of food upon them, while millions will by
dying of starvation and disease. Humility to me means to give thanks to the bounty that I have
and that we have, and be mindful of those poor souls who have nothing. False pride, conceit
and arrogance have led this planet into the state it now is in, if we can let go of false pride and
see the power that lies in humility, we each can serve each other into making this world a better
more even loving place to dwell in.
Warmest regards Michael.
