Humility * 2
    #27633261 - 01/26/22 05:06 AM (2 years, 2 days ago)

Humility is oddly powerful. (this is my ego sneaking for ways of power) No. Ego must honestly sit aside in it, in those too scarce moments of humility.

Humility seems to enable one to walk where otherwise it would not. I tend to assume for myself ways that are counter to the larger ways, dharma, as it were. Humility is counter-intuitive, as it enables courage. It enables one to bring out sadness and let it flow. I didn't mean to make this a cry me topic, but it therefore enables joy to flow. It enables right action to flow.

I thought of why males typically pass away sooner than females, and I associate it with a lesser ability to cry. Allowing to cry in sadness, one also can cry in joy and love, releasing it out. Are they somehow the same in release?

Why, in the Kung Fu show, is the teaching that the wise man walks with his head bowed, humble, like the dust, and these are people of power? Or, spirits of power, not so much interested in worldly power.

I suppose the key word is flow. Lack of humility is a restriction of flow. The labels on what flows are perhaps less relevant, inaccurate.

When the devil comes to tempt your humility your ego will not sit aside. That's reality. The power of a clean karmic record is only proficient in the young who do not resist.

One may assume that karma from previous lifetimes can come into play when kids get hurt.

An analogy from science may fit: How much energy is required to bring Syncro's head to a steam for the furtherance of my desire.

Does having a limitation negate its usefulness and truthful reflection? Also, are there righteous actions of ego? In challenges of say, self-defense, defense of others, it does seem humility takes a back seat. It doesn't appear to mean necessarily we have failed in some negative aspect of ego. It is relative and there are conflicting examples in perspective. One may be in some high state and entirely unaffected, and then one may be warring.

Agreed, but there is also a sadness that comes in spiritual work that I think common, that is not so specified. It may be related to fatigue as the higher qualities can be detoxing and demanding of the system, and perhaps regret in holding separation.

I was thinking today, about how we end up with corrupted people in places of power. I think it's common because if you're actively seeking power, you're already in a state of mind lacking power. With this mind state you're more likely to compromise to get to somewhere you perceive to be powerful. I also wondered how people who should have such worldly power are those don't even want it, not somone who believes themselves a leader but someone who doesn't even want any followers.

Humility may also be in letting go of our own ego's tyrannical control, like in letting go of ingrained patterns that don't serve well.

I'll take the role of the anaconda who regurgitates it's meal for the pleasure of consuming it again and forgive everyone so that I might relish their subsequent fall into perdition.

Given the limitations of the ego, who can resist being felled?

As said, everything takes energy. Not every battle results in a fall, and not every fall, perhaps no fall, is fatal.

That is, unless, there is no balance of redeeming quality. ?

It's all relative to one's position. (That sounds good)

Redeeming qualities...
The redeeming quality of humbleness in say Matthew 5:25 may spare the non-combatant from aggravated assault.. relative to their position.

In my opinion their is no balance of redeeming qualities. If it all revolves around how we resolve conflict then the best candidate based on all-round redeeming qualities has no advantage over their karmic heritage even if we might wish it were so.

I pulled The Hanged Man.

Though the hanged man is swinging upside down, the serenity of his expression seems to communicate that he is doing this of his own free will. The hanged man understands the value of self-sacrifice. One must take a step backward to move ahead.

What else could counter karmic heritage?

Look at the position of Romans 12:19 "Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord" that encourages forgiveness in individuals that may not be ratified by the Higher Authority. So the downtrodden can forgive their plight yet be overruled by the Higher Authority.

Example:

One sibling steals another sibling's Halloween candy.
The affected sibling remembering Sunday School forgives the intrusion.
You, as the parent, witness the occasion and step in returning the sweets.

The interplay of karmas can be intricate.

Forgiveness is a redeeming quality.

And how will you be redeemed for getting me hooked on this card pulling devilry?

In the case of bullied children; do you agree that there is a difference between forgiving and just plain not resisting?

In not resisting, the karmic consequence would persist.

So in not resisting a leopard who does not change it's spots, there can be consequence that forgiveness might dispel (dispel the spell)

So you might see how forgiveness is harped upon by authority more than just plain not resisting.

Why consider a perversion with the authentic? On the other hand, perhaps, see such qualites into them if desired, or it seems it should follow (flow) naturally, as love, spontaneous.
