HUMILITY ON THE PATH

Humility is a quiet yet profound force in spiritual awakening, one that dismantles the walls of ego and opens the door to our true nature. In a world that prizes certainty and achievement, humility invites us to relinquish the need to know, to be right, or to control. Instead, it asks for vulnerability—a willingness to lay down the defenses of the ego and meet life as it is.

On the spiritual journey, this surrender is not a sign of weakness but a courageous act of letting go. It is an acknowledgment that the self we cling to—the one defined by beliefs, achievements, and roles—is but a construct, a mask over our deeper essence. Humility breaks this mask, often through life’s challenges, disappointments, or the guidance of a spiritual teacher who holds up a mirror to our illusions.

Yet this breaking is not destruction but liberation. When the ego’s grip loosens, a greater truth can shine through—a truth rooted not in separation but in unity, not in striving but in being. It is here, in the humility of not knowing, that the heart opens to profound love, presence, and peace.

Humility also fosters deep intimacy with life and others. Without the ego’s need to dominate or defend, we can listen, connect, and respond with authenticity. It teaches us that true freedom lies not in elevating ourselves but in dissolving into the flow of life itself.

To embrace humility is to step into the mystery of existence with open arms. It is to allow the cracks in our constructed identity to appear, knowing that through these cracks, the light of our true self shines. Humility is both the path and the gift, guiding us home to the essence of being.

Despite the promise and lure
Of power, fame and great fortune
This existence is not measured
By such things
But by the depth of love 
We become and share
With others.

-----------------------

In silent awareness, all that seems separate—
Forms, thoughts, planets, stars, galaxies—
Is revealed as one eternal tapestry,
Woven through the illusion of time.

-----------------------

The greatest task of a human
Is to overcome themselves
But not through force,
Through great inner strength
And a willingness to face
Whatever arises.

----------------------

In silence and stillness 
There is deep rest.
In deep rest
There is great healing.

----------------------

Why does the past
Keep knocking on your door?
Because it wants to be welcomed home

Why do the old wounds still hurt?
Because all things that are unloved
Feel the pain of exclusion.

----------------------

When you let go 
Of trying to control everything
A door opens into a vast new realm
And you are invited to trust life
Not fear it.

----------------------

We are not separate isolated islands
Alone in a vast and hostile ocean

We are pulsating and radiant stars
Beaming our magnificence in the night sky
Connected to each other in a glorious tapestry
All weaving together in a cosmic eternal dance

Rise into your beauty
Don’t shrink into your smallness.

----------------------

Become so intimate with this moment
And every moment
That all notion of separation 
Dissolves into the true union

This involves no thinking
Just a great and ongoing willingness
To let go
And meet life softly
And openly
And tenderly
With no agenda at all.

--------------------------

We are here to remember the sacred
And serve love.

Thanks!
