Innate Humility, a Priceless Commodity

Innate Humility, a Priceless Commodity

Damascus Scribe is the Teacher

The Scribe: “There are those who stand in front of a crowd and shout, ‘Me first!’ and there are those who simply wait their turn, because it will come. Humility is indeed a priceless commodity and it is one of the most treasured personality traits your celestial Teachers detect in their favorite Urantia human charges.

“To us (Celestials) humility is born of a knowledge of precisely who you are and that you have worth — such a person need not prove anything to the self or to others. Humility is also patient — that which is wished for will come about if it is meant to be. And humility sees all others as equals — how could it be otherwise?

“For us (Celestials) humility must not be equated with low self-esteem as such is a damaging trait even we dislike. For one whose life and career is settled there is every reason to know the satifaction of humility and the appreciation others have for him or her.

“This is the trait humility is not; humility is not a lack of well-placed pride in what one has learned or learned to do, although simply not proclaiming or asserting it — a false pride. Humility is an innate humbleness an innate modesty.

“Our kind of humility belongs to one who owns that priceless commodity, is a ‘group annimal’ by nature and who knows and accepts that the distant future will bring ever greater associations in which all will be diversely talented, yet seen as equal to any in the group.

“To us humility is patient and not outspoken, but may carefully weigh up a solution to a vexing problem and quietly offer same. Achieve and remain humble, be a leader and remain modest. I am Sananda, the Damascus Scribe, your humble Teacher and Friend forever.”

A Question of Confidence

A Question of Confidence

By Steve Beckow

Posted on July 21, 2024

An example of confidence tempered with humility:
Dwight D. Eisenhower


I had a brief, less-than-momentary glimpse of the consciousness state – some would think of it as a feeling state – that a leader, in my opinion, would have to have to be capable of bringing the world together to say “No!” to the elite/cabal/deep state and mean it.

The most outstanding feature of this state was the feeling of rock-solid confidence in the Plan, in the outcome, in what we’re doing – but tempered with humility. Not an arrogant bravado.

If I were to do a graphic of it, imagine a spectrum of confidence ranged from “arrogant bravado” at one end to “rock-solid confidence in the outcome, tempered with humility” at the other. Another word for this type of confidence would be “certainty.” Werner Erhard, I believe, called it “natural knowing.”

There are many examples of it. Dwight D. Eisenhower and John Kennedy among presidents, in my view, are two of them.

Somehow, this brief experience communicated to me that this level of confidence could not be had unless the individual had completed the greatest part of their unfinished business (you might say “karma”).

I don’t consider myself well along on this spectrum, but I do think I’m able to recognize a person in that state, as I believe we all can.

But when we or our interests are seriously threatened, I think we do opt for saviors who turn out too often to be opportunists and dark figures.

Here, I think of the ancient parable: In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed [individual] is king.  When we opt for the one-eyed “savior,” as we often have in the past, we’re usually disappointed.

Germany and Italy before WW2 would be examples of opting for one-eyed saviors.  Mussolini and Hitler used their show of bravado to mislead their people.

We need to be courageous enough ourselves to insist that our leaders have found a genuine confidence in themselves and the outcome – not a contrived reflection of it.

The world in 2020 (Covid’s beginnings) provides other examples of one-eyed saviors.

All too many of us caved in to most of our new-found pandemic protectors whose ranks were meanwhile killing us with toxic vaccines, attacking food-production plants, bombing towns with DEW weapons, causing hurricanes and earthquakes, all while we “slept.”

Returning this divine state of confidence, somehow – and I haven’t reached that place of knowledge or understanding in myself yet of why or how – this confidence in and of itself is magnetic or charismatic.

To have its best chance of achieving lasting, constructive results, I think it needs to be aligned with the nature of reality and its laws (1) – not based on showmanship and sleight of hand. Or on posturing and a booming voice.

The inadequate paradigms of the past are like millstones around our necks, weighing us down.  If we want to rise in vibration and experience, I think we need to drop them and rely more and more on our innate divine qualities – in this case, on our native divine quality of confidence.

Footnotes

(1) So, as one example, I doubt whether someone who continued to hold to the belief that only what we can see, hear, touch, etc., is real (i.e., empirical materialism) would be qualified or suitable enough to meet with higher-dimensional galactic ambassadors. Their materialistic reality would prove too small to hold or understand important information.

I am Just Space

I am Just Space

By Steve Beckow

Posted on April 30, 2024



After all the processing I’ve done, following my well-deserved scolding from a restaurant manager, I’ve reached a layer that I can only call humility.

But it isn’t at all what I expected.

I’m not sure what I expected. But what I actually experience is a place of absence of mind activity and the presence of love, compassion, and the other divine qualities.  It’s a very simple, uncomplicated space.

I’m not resisting anything that comes next.  I’m not pushing any agenda, but I also have no edge to me when I’m in this space.

There’s not a trace of this space having been forced. It’s so natural and void of any reactivity, positive or negative…. No attachment. No resistance. Neither ego nor desire.

Just what’s so, with no spin or puffery.

The space is  “nothing” plus an add-on of joy, peace, and love.

I suppose this is the outcome aimed at in Let’s Go! Let’s Grow! V6. Ego and Desire. This is it.

No up. No down.

No here. No there.

No then. Just now.

So plain, you could miss it.

All that moves in it are love and the divine qualities.  All the rest of the landscape, the part of me you’d call “me,” is non-active.

I am just space.

‘Tax us’: Billionaires’ bizarre request at World Economic Forum in Davos

‘Tax us’: Billionaires’ bizarre request at World Economic Forum in Davos

By Chloe Whelan

Posted on April 23, 2024 by Steve Beckow


Michael once said to me that we’d know that real movement is occurring when the super-rich begin to return some of their wealth voluntarily.

(No “Poof” column this week.) Thanks to Ed.

***

250 of the world’s rich listers have asked to be taxed more, with one young heiress saying she wants to escape the “swamp” of her huge wealth.

(https://www.news.com.au/finance/money/wealth/tax-us-billionaires-bizarre-request-at-world-economic-forum-in-davos/news-story/ffa6ee3be691be1a8b0a445c1a65189c)

Many millionaires and billionaires are infamous for moving their wealth around to skirt taxes, but a small group has set out to do the opposite.

More than 250 of the world’s extremely wealthy have penned a letter to governments, asking to be taxed more because they’re concerned by inequality.

The rich listers made their plea to political elite at a meeting for the World Economic Forum — an international NGO aimed at improving public-private sector collaboration — in Davos, Switzerland this week.

“Our request is simple: we ask you to tax us, the very richest in society,” they wrote.

“This will not fundamentally alter our standard of living, nor deprive our children, nor harm our nations’ economic growth.

“But it will turn extreme and unproductive private wealth into an investment for our common democratic future.”

“Damn the Torpedoes” Won’t Work Any More

“Damn the Torpedoes” Won’t Work Any More

By Steve Beckow

Posted on April 19, 2024


Crystal-balling


The whole other thing that resulted from this incident of my own making three days  ago (1) was that I had another flash or gestalt (seeing the whole thing in a moment of illumination), which I’d like to discuss.

I’d like you to regard this as the kind of flash that has us change our vote, because the flash goes deep enough into our consciousness.

This can also be called a realization; a realization is bliss lifting us up and having us see things from that higher-dimensional perspective. Problems become situations because we have much, much more patience at this higher vibratory level and can see more variables and options.

What I realized is, hey, Steve, you’re going to be CEO of a very large enterprise.

Let me share with you in a footnote some of the things Michael has said about it so you can get a sense of what I live with from day to day as I contemplate this future as a CEO. (2)

I carry this knowledge with little idea of how I’ll do it, anticipating that Heaven will help. (3) The only thing I know is that I’m ready and I have a good sense of how Michael will help.

Given that many intel gurus are saying the Reval could happen at any time, I could find myself a new CEO at any time.

Moreover, I was speaking from the standpoint of being entitled as a customer. I was acting from entitlement. I’m the customer and I’m entitled to be served with despatch and respect. It’s my attitude that needs an overhaul.

I have to get that, as a CEO, I won’t get anywhere if I act from entitlement. Feel elevated after the Reval? Take the elevator to the basement, Michael says. (4)

I’m already in love with the divine qualities and the one in play here is humility. This valuable lesson is showing me the benefits of choosing humility rather than entitlement.

***

So I’m saying to myself,  my planned-for future position requires me to make changes. The way I’ve been all my life will no longer cut it. I have to become, first of all, a lot more conscious than I am.

(Notice me actually making changes in the way I be, changes that, if successful, will go far to removing me from the cycle of conflict I create around me.  Change has to come from a deep level or it won’t stick. The sting of this encounter was enough to have me reach that level, act, and make changes.)

I can’t be offending the people around me or not caring what they think. Resisting need not be offensive; neither should rescuing nor protecting be. The very best among us, like Gandhi, were not offensive as they resisted or protected.

I continue talking to myself: I can’t afford to have an enterprise that serves the Divine Mother sink because I haven’t handled my vasanas (or core issues). And chief among them is “Full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes!” That won’t work any more, if it ever did. It is definitely old programming, a subject I’d like to look at later.

It may have been Mike Quinsey who warned us last week that our old programs won’t work any more. This was a brilliant demonstration of that.

I, who never kowtowed to anyone – gross exaggeration – am going to have to treat people respectfully, even kindly. I now need to call those qualities out of myself, something I’ve never been willing to do, for whatever reason.

Of course I can. It’s a matter of commitment. I don’t like the way I felt after this encounter and not liking it is enough, given other circumstances in my life, to have me change my vote and make other needed changes in support of it.

My working hypothesis is that it’s commitment to a change of behavior, to calling ourselves forth to alter our way of being that will allow us to escape the cycle of conflict.

(2) Archangel Michael: This is you becoming the steward of an organization and of an undertaking of massive, massive global impact/import. (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Feb. 17, 2017.)

AAM: As we have told you, in the future [your reach] will be global. (Ibid., Oct. 11, 2013.)

AAM: You have known that the time would come when we would ask you to work very much on a very global level. (Ibid., Nov. 30, 2011.)

AAM: You have reached a point in your heart, in your being, in your life, in your consciousness where you are realizing … the magnitude of our partnership. (Ibid., Aug. 17, 2018.)

(3) Steve: My big concern is that I’ll be head of a large organization and have no memory.

AAM: And you think that we would leave you helpless?

Steve: No, I hope not.

AAM: No, dear heart, that is not the plan.

Steve: Oh good! Even knowing there is a plan is comforting.

AAM: There is not only a plan, Sweet One. There is a strategy afoot to implement the plan. (Ibid., June 17, 2020.)

(4) As you assume profile – whether it is because of money or notoriety or political power or financial power, it matters not – it gives you a sense of being elevated. We would encourage you to take the elevator to the basement. (Ibid., July 22, 2016.)
