"humility" should really be called "life"

HUMILITY is a big word; not because i just wrote it in all caps. Nor because of its eight letters. It's a big word because of all of its connotations and false definitions and misinterpretations that are poisonous to our thinking. Instead of bringing up all sorts of ideas of freedom and fulfilled life, the word tends to throw clouds over our minds, and weigh heavy on our brain areas that deal with compulsion. It doesn't make sense to our physical-world-immersed selves.

What a clever trick! Humility really is the most freeing and wonderfully joyful thing that one could possibly embody. It is really counter-intuitive, but when you let go of that, and close your eyes and fall backwards into it, you find that it is the strongest support you'll ever find because it is the Father's Rest. Too bad i don't live there. What does it take? How do we get out from underneath the layers of stacks of worry and care, and just be? What if we're too weak to cast them off?

I think the answer is really close to "Just forget." It's sort of like C.S. Lewis's discussion of Contemplation vs. Enjoyment--they're mutually exclusive, but also codependent.

All this philosophizing...

Note: the 'discussion' link isn't to an exhaustive explanation of the idea, but rather an article mentioning Lewis's thoughts and making an entirely different point at the end. I could have done more research to provide you with a better link, and i may do so in the future. Sorry.
