HUMILITY IS HIGHLY SPIRITUAL
Kabbalah 6 was one of my favorite classes because we went through the ten sefirot on the Tree of Life. It's phenomenally complimentary to my work and other things in my life past and present.
One of the things our instructor said in that class was that EGO is not just thinking you're better than someone, but also, that you're "not as good." What I loved about it was how negatively she painted that- to think that you're not as good.
This might be a bit advanced, but one of the ways I have navigated coaching MANY people who are far more successful than I am (traditional goal-line success) is to realize and understand that I am not the one who does it.
Attachment is having to "let everyone know it's you." And even if you are a person who doesn't have to verbally do this, you might mentally think "It's me."
One of the things I emphasize with clients who suffer in that place of imposter syndrome is "get yourself out of it." Can "little you" not be in the room? Can you detach completely?
Humility is highly spiritual, and it means "I’m just the channel, I’m not the source."
This week, I had a chat with a former client about something I allegedly did or said that I didn't remember, and I said "you know, I rarely remember what I say. I just know whatever it is is for you."
He later sent me this text-- I think it's from "The Artist's Way," but I could be mistaken.
I think it's beautifully complimentary to the greater conversation of "it isn't us." When you feel "less" and you don't use your gifts on loan from the Creator, that's ego. Ask yourself why.
Can you allow magic to happen and understand you have nothing to do with it? Can you not want fame and greatness and RECOGNITION?
Because if you let go of that... you get to see what it's really about.
