Humility - Tumblr Posts

I saw that these were becoming a thing again, so I decided to make one for my own works! Technically, I already made one a few years ago, but I’d like to believe I’ve become a better artist since then.

“The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself. The Way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm. The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete.”

—Lao Tzu

“Real genius is nothing else but the supernatural virtue of humility in the domain of thought.”

—Simone Weil

“Humility consists in knowing that in what we call ‘I’ there is no source of energy by which we can rise. Everything, without exception, that is of value in me comes from somewhere other than myself, not as a gift, but as a loan which must be ceaselessly renewed.”

—Simone Weil

“Practice radical humility. Take no credit for your talents, intellectual abilities, aptitudes, or proficiencies. Be in a state of awe and bewilderment.”

—Wayne Dyer

“Know that any and all thoughts that you have regarding your own skills, interests, and inclinations are valid. To reinforce the validity of your thoughts, keep them private. Tell yourself that they're between you and God.”

—Wayne Dyer

“I don't write the books. God writes the books and delivers the speeches.”

—Wayne Dyer

“What humility does for one is it reminds us that there are people before me. I have already been paid for. And what I need to do is prepare myself so that I can pay for someone else who has yet to come but who may be here and needs me.”

—Maya Angelou

Being humble, here, means being aware of how difficult your instincts can make it to get the facts right. It means being realistic about the extent of your knowledge. It means being happy to say ‘I don’t know.’ It also means, when you do have an opinion, being prepared to change it when you discover new facts. It’s quite relaxing being humble, because it means you can stop feeling pressured to have a view about everything, and stop feeling you must be ready to defend your views all the time.

Hans Rosling’s Factfulness

“I then ask, ‘What would it be like if you could simply give us [white people] feedback, have us graciously receive it, reflect, and work to change the behavior?’ Recently a man of color sighed and said ‘It would be revolutionary.’”

Be Humble

Said by someone very not humble

"Here are two exercises that avail much to stifle all contention & to promote concord: 1) To think ourselves inferior to all 2) To set more importance on the things of our neighbor than our own good.

Humility & charity, as thus recommended, not only go well together themselves, but have the virtue of uniting interests that threaten to cause dispute and discord."

-Hugh of St. Victor in his commentaries on the Rule of St. Augustine

"There is scarcely any one thing in which thou standest so much in need of mortifying thyself as in seeing & suffering the things which are repugnant to thy will, and especially when that is commanded which seems to thee incongruous and to little purpose."

-Thomas a Kempis, Imitation of Christ

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of the Month

Hello All, Now that many religious holidays are upon us showcasing nearly the conclusion of this year of 2016. This winter season often becomes a natural period of reflection for us personally. At least for those to practice mindfulness in order to pause for a moment right here and now. In order to appreciate the preceding year by understanding how well we are faring with our lives. Be such a life with our without some sort of emotional hardship or physical handicap due to health status. Those of you that feel you are just existing for the moment. That considering the future is deemed an idle fancy due to overloaded responsibilities you feel are beyond your personal control. This can mean duties that have been imposed upon you by circumstances or perhaps other loved ones. You have a choice to give yourself a moment's pause of reflection not to get anger but to surrender unease that has been building up within you. Call upon the divine no matter if you feel it is foolish just suspend that disbelief to realize that greater forces are at work upon our reality. Cultivate a faith with your maker irrespective what religion your family may or may not practice in the world. Live that relationship spiritually knowing that it will empower you confidently over time by how you invest in your dignity upon the world. You'll grow mindfully and by doing so become stronger than you could ever realize by your very limited human awareness. Today's trio of channeled angelic spiritual wisdom statements of the "Jewels of Truth" series. Are on the topics of Reincarnation, Prosperity Consciousness, and on Humility. In the longhand series of #1131-1133 of a future volume of this ongoing dialogue, I'm having with the Angelic Host. May you find it refreshing as I have been blessed in receiving these kernels of living grace for the benefit of us all combined. Amen. Reincarnation: 1131) All those that adhere to the belief of inherited karma as a belief from previous reincarnations please listen well. These previous reincarnations of your soul or Over Soul as additional spirits as a collective of siblings to your direct self as off shoots. Never is there any defective tendencies inherited there are only potentialities as multi-life traits that can be explored once more. Upon ones present reincarnation of the soul into a reconfigured spirit of yourself upon the world. This can seem confusing but actually, it is quite simple when viewed as each spirit self is a slice or partition of your Over-Soul. Much like a pie that gives infinite reincarnated slices of itself through rebirth, life, death, and rebirth upon the cosmic wheel of the divine expanding itself through us. Do not ever suspect or believe you are penalized by the actions or inactions of a previous twin spirit or soul within your direct family of reincarnated spirits. All spirits of one's direct Over Soul reincarnate through the auspices of time in the past, present, and future timelines historically on a constant basis. The Cosmic wheel isn’t stuck only with past lifetimes from your one finite perspective as a timeline of life long events. Every spirit self is a tabula rasa as a blank slate meant to experience the world within an era reconfigured differently in its traits from its last twin spirit self by means of reincarnation. To reiterate you aren’t liable from your direct former twin spirits as entities. For God’s Absolute Love cleanses all impurities through itself within all macro souls and subsequent reincarnated spirits. Upon an immaculate perfection as a meta-extension of its own meta being collectively so. Which becomes a fringe benefit for your spiritual evolution across you’re timeless and space less divine self remarkably so in God’s Willed truth as Divine Law. Each divine spirit has the mandate to fulfill upon an incarnation if it truly finds its way back to its own divine endless identity through God the Creator. Many call this the meta “Will of God” as a functionary intent to live a pious life, but it is more than this protocol. It becomes a master plan for the incarnated spirit self to live in harmony and balance with all other versions of God’s infinite being in its own native or foreign surroundings. To discover and live out its own sublime sacred truth in life with joy and reconciled forgiveness when circumstances and people do not align with their dharma upon the world. To become basically your angelic version of your own Over Soul with your very own spirit self as a segment or aspect of the totality of God’s Holy Spirit. This guarantee’s heaven’s blessing upon you every day by having yourself realize this grace as God’s benediction upon your divine spirit with God through your current reincarnation of your Over-Soul. Amen.                                                                     ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Prosperity Consciousness:

1132) When one worries or feels grateful in life this becomes the metaphysical give or take response upon your spirit self through God’s Neutrality in the world. For as God gives handsomely through an endless compassion he also instructs by our personal circumstances as a platform of self-growth. God isn’t a helicopter celestial Creator parent to our divinity. We are allowed to screw up royally and if mature enough to clean up our own mess individually and collectively as a civilization. Free Will is an authentic power bestowed upon totality as God’s Enlightenment known as Grace.

So when we desire to create abundance upon the world by metaphysical or magical means as its catalyst power of our soul. We must come to a proper understanding of the meta dynamics we can easily influence to our advantage or disadvantages. By all the underlying means of our personally developed relationship with God and our Angels by extension as our meta-spiritual family. One never creates metaphysically upon the world in isolation it takes a village approach. Especially when one attempts to create personal abundance with metaphysical principles of mentalism coupled with actions by means of faith in God.

To create one must be steadfast not to uproot their desires for attracted riches through unnecessary worry of what they fear. That becomes the opposing input with negative consequences almost always with an undisciplined mind’s eye or third eye in knee-jerk practice. God’s neutrality reigns here whatever you broadcast including unconsciously through worry and you poison the positive overall intent. The heavens as an extension of the perfect and pure presence of God knows very well your human psyche never stays idle for long. What many call the monkey brain always wondering and pondering without very much discipline in life. Incidental concerns are trivial to this formality in terms of metaphysical abundance principles. There’s no need to drown in a tea cup for life is varied as a spectrum gallery of experiences.

All those that seek to create abundance by means of prosperity consciousness in life. Through spiritual magical practices, you must know this well that in order to create you must first give that which you lack. Basically, you seek health, wealth, fame, success, romance, and so forth. You must give of that which you believe you lack, it is a contrarian viewpoint we admit. One can easily quip; "But if I had it already I could give it more so readily". You must take the “Big Picture” meta-perspective here for a moment. To give or teach that which you want to create means not necessarily to give in equal proportions of health, wealth, fame, success, or romance. One must siphon on the intent to get the flow of grace to kick in like siphoning on a hose to get a liquid through it to fill a canister. Once that dynamic becomes apparent then one's faith grows by such positive experiences which in turn become a self-fulfilling feedback loop and Walaa! Somehow and somewhere at a very relative juncture,the opportunity of your prosperity intent appears as an Angelic orchestration of God’s grace within your circumstances. Consider this to be the Wheel of Fortune that must be spun in order to develop the necessary momentum to create fulfillment in life.

Lastly which shouldn’t be taken too lightly is to practice humility in this process taking yourself out of the human animal based ego. By this, we mean to practice gratitude as a spiritual power of thanksgiving by counting your blessings. This will help you to realign with your positive intentions through a practice of moderation. So when you begin to worry counteract by counting your blessings as a means of humility to prepare your spirit to give and receive your sacred truth in life as God’s grace in you. Amen.                                                                                                                                                                    ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Humility:

1133) Be wary full fingers leads to clumsy outcomes when one carries more than one is capable in a life to handle. This can be literally and figuratively taken as a caution to consider when one assumes more than what they can carry in the world. If one doesn’t practice mindful self-awareness with one’s own personal boundaries then accidents will occur. Be not foolish seek balance even if multiple trips must be accomplished over time. Moreover, ask for help when needed even if you feel uncomfortable by means of pride in doing so.

To act alone when the burden requires two or more persons typifies a foolish person in over their head with duty. Pace yourself know your internal cadence of what you are currently capable of accomplishing or what you attempt will end up in a comedy of errors in hindsight. Authentic confidence, when coupled with humility indicates a person wise enough to know when to act alone and when to call in for reinforcements. To distinguish between these two polarities will save you much grief in life and avoid costly overruns in time, resources, and money. Be it directly your own or of another entity as a person or organization.  Gravity as a physical influence upon the world can be your friend or an enemy by mastering it not spells hardships in your common surroundings versus proficient living.                                                                                ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. ---Jeremiah 33:3

Enveloped in Your Light, may I be a beacon to those in search of Light. Sheltered in your Peace, may I offer shelter to those in need of peace. Embraced by Your Presence, so may I be present to others. ---Rabbi Rami Shapiro.

Strength is the product of struggle, you must do what others don't to achieve what others won't. ---Henry Rollins.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.                                                                                 ---Golda Meir.

Your journey has molded you for your greater good, and it was exactly what it needed to be. Don't think that you've lost time.  ---Asha Tyson. 

Sometimes the best solution is simplification. ---Bobby Bragan.

But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.                                                                                ---Kahlil Gibran.

Humility is not about talking about your shortcomings, but about enduring others talking about them.

+ St. Alexandra Feodorovna the Passionbearer

There are two ways of humility. The first humility is to consider your brother more intelligent than yourself and superior in all things, in a word, consider yourself inferior to all. The second humility is to ascribe to God one's feats, this is the perfect humility of the saints. It is obviously born in the soul from the fulfillment of the commandments. So the branches, when there are many fruits on them, the fruits bend down, but the branch, which has no fruits, rises up and grows straight. There are some trees that do not bear fruit as long as the branches are growing up, if you hang a stone against the branch and bend it, it will bear fruit. So is the soul: when it humbles itself, it bears fruit, and the more it bears fruit, the more it humbles itself. So are the saints: the closer they get to God, the more sinful they see themselves.

Rev. Abba Dorofia
