learning to embrace being "wrong" can be very freeing ! Being "right" all the time is a heavy burden.
I loved when he said how he is more then any title bc I couldn't agree more!
I have always disliked titles and labels and truly believe the only purpose of that is to divide and to make one feel less than or better than! Our only differences are the things that make us unique, not what someone calls you or says you are or should be. We all come from the same creator and all have a purpose!
I think the sooner we stop feeding into that then the faster we can grow together and evolve into something so much greater and far more beautiful then we could ever imagine!💜⚛
Blessings to ALL 🙏🌎 ✌
How ingenous, blind, in pain could have we possibly been to end up humiliated, usually by the ones we trusted? Just this thought brought me more in contact with my true self - - - humiliation like reconciliation with my true self. Thanks.
That Buddhist place I left had “the stink of humility”. Mean girl energies disguised as holiness. Humiliation was their sport! Couldn’t do it. But I really enjoyed the elders of that community. They lived the peace: they simply embodied it daily. The younger ones lived drama: not dharma. But great learning experience overall.
This makes me think of the former buddhist monk, and now diseased Björn Natthiko-Lindeblad book "I may be wrong". He wanted to highlight the idea of living by"the opened hand", to try and have a loose grip on everything that is not eternal. That can be humility.
It is no longer enough for people to hear general theories and general ideas from thinkers (such as Charles and others) because the social and economic collapse we are going through has become so dangerous and so painful, and people now both at the individual level and at the family level urgently need specific guidance and specific advises on what to do in practice in everyday life. 🤔 🤔 ? ?
But thats all there is to guidance... The actual work has to be done by the willing individual.
Thank you.
Brilliant!
So true! Thank you for sharing your insights!
Brilliant as always. 🙏🏼
The cosmos is bringing us this event to bring us to make or break point.
Stillness can be the door , stopping .
For me, humility comes from the Fear of God, a concept or something that seems to be missing in these days and times. Fear of God equals humility!
Woo hoo! Incisive, lovely.
what happens when what people want to be what is, isn't. it's just a pushed bit of ignorance
it's misrepresentation and celebrated stupidity
no thief, just walking around dealing with nutcases like you
stop creating racists, honestly bubba
respect has not been earned
