       Humility

       Humility allows errors to leave us so that Love can enter
       Participant: AJ, what actually happens in your soul with the
       error when
       God's Love… how does it transform the error itself or does the
       error leave you? [00:22:16.02]
       No, this is the third aspect of our situation. The error can't
       leave us unless we have the third thing in operation. Truth
       doesn't have the effect of forcing the error out of us and love
       can only enter us once the error has gone. So there needs to be
       a third component that allows the error to leave. What's the
       third component? It's humility, to be humble.
       
       What does it mean to be humble? It means to have a passionate
       longing or desire to feel every belief and emotion within
       ourselves whether it is painful or pleasurable… many of us have
       just as much problem with pleasure as we do with pain… no matter
       what anybody else feels about it. [00:24:28.27]
       A lot of us are alright with the first bit, or semi alright with
       the first bit, but when it comes to this no matter what anybody
       else thinks about it, then we just throw up our hands because
       we're constantly worried about what everybody else thinks  of
       it. [00:24:39.25]
       3.3.1. Seeing ourselves emotionally as God see us
       But let’s add to it that it means to see ourselves emotionally
       as God sees us. So in other words once we are truly humble, we
       would have exactly the same opinion of ourselves as God has of
       us, on every subject. So anything personal that you could ever
       think of, eventually, if we were truly humble, we'd get to the
       point where we see absolutely everything about ourselves the way
       God sees it. And to be frank with you, most of us have a
       terrible opinion of ourselves, right, when we compare it with
       God's opinion of us. God sees us as the pinnacle of His creation
       and we see ourselves as the dirt of His creation. That's how
       different it is for many of us. We see this huge gap between how
       we see ourselves and how God sees us.[00:26:09.28]
       Or conversely some of us see ourselves as this brilliant
       individual when God sees a lot of this darkness that's inside of
       our soul that we’re just totally ignoring. And it means to see
       ourselves emotionally, not just intellectually. So it's not like
       going in the mirror and saying, "Yeah, you've got a bit of a
       wart on your face there, I wonder what that is about?" It's not
       like seeing yourself physically. It's actually feeling the
       condition that you see inside of yourself which is very, very
       different to intellectually analysing the condition.
