Humility
"Real humility is the recognition that you understand the nature of power and its expression in the universe." [1]
"Even in people’s misery, they still do not have the humility to recognize that they cannot establish the terms of engagement regarding their primary relationship with the Creator and with the Will of Heaven." [2]
"Humility is a product of honesty and compassion, two things which the self-serving have not yet achieved." [3]
"Your ideas are meant to serve a Greater Reality, you see—not to compete with it, not to deny it, not to try to control it or determine its ultimate reality. Here Knowledge gives you certainty and power, but it also requires humility on your part. [4]
Walking The Way of Knowledge in Humility
"All that we speak of in the Books of Knowledge represent a mystery and a great opportunity for you, but they are not easily accessible. You must study and prepare, and you must pass certain tests in life. You must demonstrate your sincerity, your humility and your self-honesty in order to advance and to gain access to the greater powers that we speak of, which are meant for you." [5]
"When you find those individuals that you are destined to meet to carry out and to substantiate your purpose, there must be great humility. They are not here for you personally. They are not fascinated with you personally. They are not in love with your images. They are bonded to something greater in you, and their affection for you and their dedication to you will outlast all other human attractions." [6]
"In meeting your ally, you might find that you are to serve them or that they are to serve you. Perhaps they are in the leadership role this time, and you are not. Perhaps it is the other way around. You will fit perfectly together if you can accept how perfectly you fit, which may not fit at all with your ideals, ambitions or notions about yourself. That is why this requires humility and sobriety. That is why it requires preparation." [6]
