Nice one Adam. In Indic philosophy the ‘non-humble’ self is often referred to as ‘ahamkar’ — literally ‘created self’. It’s a mentally constructed self that we then project in the world. When it’s dropped (or shot down or otherwise stripped away) what we’re left with is the (authentic, humble) creator self that produced the (false, egotistical) created self.
Simply superb, sir. Esquisite treatise on balancing between excesses of emotion or thought. Just the right amount of woo. A finely honed knife-edge of perception and daily practice. Thank you for the synthesis for my Sunday.
Humility is a challenge especially learning to blend it with confidence which isn't an oxymoron. Humility is one of the three cores of how I frame Polymathic Thinking.
1. Insatiable Curiosity
2. Humility
3. Intentional Reframing
It was Ranger School that beat these into my head.
