Self-deprecation

"Your personal worldly mind is fearful and uncertain. It has been formed by your exposure to the world. Full of the world’s ideas, beliefs and assumptions it is, full of apprehension, full of false notions. It is fundamentally confused. Until it can serve a greater power within you, it will be a very weak leader for you. You will live in confusion and uncertainty and be prone to self-deprecation and the deprecation of others."
