Nothing to Defend

What does it really mean to be humble? Many of us confuse humility with low self-esteem, making ourselves smaller, or putting everyone else first. But perhaps true humility is something entirely different. In this episode of The Empty Cup, we explore the gradual release of the one who says "my body," "my thoughts," "my life"—the subtle sense of being the owner of our existence. As that contraction begins to soften, our relationship with ourselves and with others changes. We no longer need to prove, compare, rescue, or be rescued. We simply become more available to life. A reflection on humility, the illusion of ownership, the wave and the ocean, and the quiet freedom that appears when we stop placing ourselves at the centre of everything. Because perhaps humility is not becoming less. It is remembering that we were never separate. ★ Support this podcast ★
