FALSE HUMILITY

Where does false humility come in? It comes when you cannot get past shame, so you get angry and try to hide the anger by appeasing everyone.

Anger can develop into abuse of power or false humility. Of course, you are going to try to hide your anger. The more you try to hide your anger, the more you feed your false humility. False humility has you feeling less than others, when you know that you are not! False humility is when you constantly say you’re sorry for things you never did. False humility brings shame to the human heart. This comes about when you let your shoulders sag with burdens that do not even exist. If you have false humility, then what you are criticizing yourself for is false also.

The ego wants you to think of yourself as a wretched mess. This stops you from taking what the Great Mother offers you. This involves you in knowing that the ego brings about a false humility. The mind says, “You do not deserve happiness.” The heart says, “Oh yes, you do!” It is moment to moment that you can find the true purpose for your life. This purpose is in the moment’s kindness. To think, “When I get to this place, then I will do this or that,” is so untrue. To find the purpose of the moment is to know that all you need to feel is love, and that this love will have prosperity follow the open heart.

Wakeful awareness leads to watchfulness. Watchfulness leads to right actions. Right action leads to humility. Humility leads to gratitude. Then your whole life begins to change for the better. You begin to ignore yourself and your everyday complaints about life and even death.
