Humility

When we see ourselves as an isolated individual who is better than others and who doesn't 'need' support, we shut ourselves off from the incredible love of open-hearted reality. We live our lives in the tension of trying to hold our identity in place, and in fear of criticism and rejection. The humility of open intelligence is the reality of knowing everyone everywhere is exactly the same as us, that its safe to be supported, and we can relax completely exactly as we are.

I am so grateful to my trainer and the Four Mainstays for providing me a space where I can be fully supported to let all data be as it is without replacing it with 'being strong' or 'being fine'. Without this support it would be impossible to settle into my intrinsic stability, completeness and safety as open intelligence, naturally present in all data - even in insecurity, sadness, weakness and vulnerability. Wow! What power and open-hearted tenderness it is to not need to be strong, but to find our natural state is indestructible all on its own.

Thank you Balanced View!
