Enduring HUMILIATION

HOW HUMILIATION HEALS 

Are you aware of your ability to make decisions in favor of yourself?  Decide to end inner conflict, then give no thought to the consequences of the decision. It is strange how a turn towards trueness arouses uncertainty. We insist upon fearing our own freedom! What we fear is the humiliation of all that has given us name and position, but it is the very crumbling of name and position that sets us free, for they were unconscious chains. 

Humiliation can be compared to an actor suddenly caught by the audience without his costume. It hurts for a moment, but then he remembers the man under the costume. By permitting total humiliation, we permit it to destroy the fantasy, leaving only the liberating fact." 

If we will repeatedly suffer the humiliation of admitting that we really do not know what we are talking about, eventually we will.—Vernon Howard
