Modesty: Inconspicuous Presence
An aim to be modest can create an inconspicuous state of Presence. We observe through the practice of Self-Remembering the many trappings of immodesty. When our mechanics are boastful, loud, opinionated or pretentious, we are steeped in identification as well as imagination. All these negative I’s distract and veil us from Presence. In a modest existence we are smaller, humbler and able to interact in the flow of Higher Centers. It is in this state of inconspicuous presence that we see the true riches of BEing.
"Matter- How tiny your share of it. Time- How brief and fleeting your allotment of it. Fate- How small a role you play in it.”
Marcus Aurelius
From The Teacher, “People without the answer want it to be big and conspicuous. Those who have it want it to be small and inconspicuous.”
Weekly Exercise
BE modest..Hold back on offering strong opinions. Rather offer your understanding. Focus on appreciating that which you have.
