ETHOS (Part 14): Humility | Jake Haber
Description
In this message, we explore humility not as self-belittlement, but as a powerful grounding force that reconnects us with ourselves, each other, and the Earth. From cosmic perspectives to our own human awkwardness, we journey through what it means to live low to the ground—in the best way possible.
Quotes:
Richard Rohr:
“I have prayed for years for one good humiliation a day, and then, I must watch my reaction to it. I have no other way of spotting both my denied shadow self and my idealized persona.”
Carl Sagan:
“It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.”
Carl Sagan:
“For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love.”
Genesis 3:19 :
“From dust you are and to dust you shall return.”
Nisargadatta Maharaj:
“Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. Between the two, my life flows.”
