Hola, happy Thursday, how are you guys look at that tree of life is getting a little bare up there. You know what’s coming. I’m looking forward to the winter, not driving in the snow, obviously, but just the downtime I like to hibernate. So I just finished chapter 40. Yes, 40. And the name of the chapter is, what does true humility look like? Humility is an interesting concept, being humble. What? What’s the dynamics of that? You know, when you see people that are humble, what’s going on with them? And I kind of defined it. I used the book by Richard Simmons. I’m going to share a quote of his, but I want to start with reading the first paragraph. The concept of humility is often misunderstood because we think it has something to do with acting small and unimportant. In Richard Simmons book entitled The power of a humble life, he says that true humility requires inner strength. It takes courage to acknowledge one’s flaws, seek feedback and admit mistakes. To do that, we have to feel confident and secure and not worry about what other people think. So often, my clients are too worried about other people’s opinions of them. They choose to submit to those fears rather than embody who they want to be in this reality. Playing it small helps no one in the long run, Rabbi Joel taught us that true humility has two variables. First, we must believe that we all, that all we have and accomplish has been bestowed to us by the Creator. Second, we must believe that we are worthy and special in some way this is all self esteem, confidence. Otherwise, what we exhibit is low self worth, which is often misidentified behaviorally as humility, as I tell my students, know that you are awesome, but keep it to yourself. The ego needs recognition, applause and adulations all the time. It requires that because it believes it’s responsible for everything, it has no room for something greater than itself. That leads to arrogance and selfishness, as we often witness in some athletes, politicians and movie stars. They are all talented souls, but get seduced by the Eagles belief that they are special without recognizing that the spiritual realm has supported them every step of the way. Now here’s the rub with all this, folks. Hopefully that made sense everything that’s going on in the third dimension, this reality is supported by the spiritual realm. If you don’t believe in the spiritual realm, then you’re going to think everything you have, everything you accomplish, your beautiful house, your beautiful job, your beautiful bank account, was all from you, and that leads to a lot of arrogance. And you guys see it. I see it all the time. Hang on a minute. We see it all the time with athletes, politicians, movie stars, and what do they say? Pride goeth before the fall. Well, we’ve seen that a lot, haven’t we? What helps me to stay humble is I know there’s something behind it all, all my accomplishments, my busy practice, my good health, my prosperity, all of that was bestowed to me. Now my ego wants to argue with that, but what about this? What about that? What about that? Well, yeah, that’s true. I did go to college, I did develop a practice, I did learn how to save money, things like that, but none of that would be here if it wasn’t given to me and I, I think we need more humility in the world, okay, but it’s not this walking around like you are. Look, that’s low self esteem. I don’t deserve anything. I’m I’m worthless. I’m no good. I can’t accomplish anything. That’s why I use that statement. Know You’re awesome, but keep it to yourself, because if you don’t know you’re awesome, you’re a gift. You have talents. That’s okay, but don’t feed the eagle with it, because the. Likes applause, adulation, things like that. What, what I see in the world, especially in this wonderful country of America, is we’ve knocked the spiritual realm the Creator God, whatever you want to call it. I don’t care what your religious beliefs are, your spiritual philosophies, and that if you don’t believe in something greater than yourself, you’re the God. Remember my definition, my new definition of ego is edging God out. My friend Annie shared that with me on my birthday. That really stuck out with me, because that’s what the ego thinks, and in a heartbeat, it can be taken away. Your good health, your prosperity, your job, your relationships, etcetera, etcetera, and guys and gals, I see that all the time in my practice, but it’s really helping us, because it’s bringing us to our knees to humble ourselves when you get inflated, you know that balloon is eventually going to pop. So the one thing that keeps me from getting inflated is the reminder I’m a vessel here. Okay, when I write chapters for this book, or when I do videos, when I see clients, I know I’m a vessel. Something is working through me, something greater than me. You know, sometimes when I come up with ideas with clients, or ideas for the book and that, it blows me away. It’s like, you know, I’m a knucklehead from Cal city, okay, where I grew up. How the heck is this possible? Well, it’s possible because I’ve surrendered, and I know that I’m just a vessel here. I do have talents, but they were God given. I do have prosperity. That was God given. I’ve had good relationships. That’s God given. I’ve had good health for the most part. That’s God given, because you guys know, as I do, and can leave in a heartbeat. So the two variables Rabbi Joel taught us is that everything you have is bestowed to you, and to know that you are worthy and special in some way. But don’t let that blow up your head, okay, your ego, because we’re all special, we’re all divine energy. Why don’t we get that out there? More. All right, hopefully this gave you something to think about. I’m doing a for anybody interested. I’m doing a rebirthing class this Sunday, September 8, at 1030 at the office in cherville, and then our next cycle drama workshop is October 6 and 13th. Uh, right now it’s filled, but if anybody’s interested, they want to be on the wait list, that’s okay. And then the next class after that, we’re doing a one day cycle drama December 8, because of the holidays, we’re not going to do two Sundays in that so keep that in mind. Alright, God bless you guys. Remember everything was given to you. You gotta figure out how that works. God bless you. You.
