Spiritual Humility; When Opposites Attract

Spiritual Humility; When Opposites Attract

Access to the "tree of life" is granted when one simultaneously
attains and aligns perceptions of spiritual humility with purity of
heart (/"a good heart"/ the heart that finds pleasure through the pursuit
of benefiting others).

It is common knowledge that "humility" is the fundamental precursor
for attaining any level of transcendent intimacy that we all call
"spirituality". But without attaining a fundamental understanding of
"true humility" one's spiritual advances will certainly be rebuffed by
the "light" and one's "perception" will become apt to getting lost in
rejection and chaos that lead to a "hardened heart" (utter loss of freedom).

Only those who attain true levels of "spiritual (/true) humility" are "free"
to embrace the corrective (/healing) "light".

This intimacy is the nexus point for eternal connectivity;
a potent bond forged by the Divine feminine (/Shechina) and
a thriving collective soul of Man (/Adam Kadmon /Primordial Adam)
forged by true love and yearning.

There are two paths of "spiritual humility";
one path is spiritually "masculine" and the other being spiritually "feminine".

While every individual has a spiritual leaning to one of these two paths,
as the individual progresses towards actualization
through oneness with the Creator, an individual acquires and must
graduate to a harmonious synthesis of both of these dynamic paths.


The Spiritually Feminine Path:

The spiritually feminine path to true humility is represented by
the biblical archetype of "Judah", and is the secret to the spiritual
"scepter" being handed down through the "children" of "David".

(Those who will usher in the time of peace, harmony and healing
to the corporeal realm will ultimately do so through this feminine,
community based portal of spiritual humility;
it being the very bedrock of "true" leadership.)

In this path, the individual abandons all attachment to self
and ego (within material and spiritual terms) and only finds value
in the aspects of self or others that transform into worthy conduits
for the Divine "light", sharing love of the collective.
 
This spiritually feminine path to humility places great emphasis
on subjugating individualistic pursuits and achievements in leu
of embracing only those energies that express the (corrective)
"light" that is summoned through (perception [/intention] of)
the altruistic collective dynamic.


The Spiritually Masculine Path:

The spiritually "masculine" path to humility is personified
by the biblical archetype of "Joseph".
In this (counter-intuitive) approach to humility, the individual
embraces and accentuates the entirety of one's powerful inner
world to better benefit the world outside.

Followers of Joseph's path completely embrace their
individualistic nature by taking complete possession of
their inner gifts, but instead of turning to a life rife with
vanity and nihilism, the student of Joseph is humbled by
the enormity of debt accumulated to one's actualized
destiny and works diligently at contributing these unique
energies to benefit the masses.

Students of Joseph recognize that the more spiritual energies
and gifts they are granted from above, the more they become
reciprocally indebted to their respective actualized destinies;
this ever-looming debt is the crux of their deep humility.

The spiritually gifted individual postulates;
"I am not greater, only far more in debt in my path towards actualization".

It is because of their spiritual vitality and integrity is rooted
in "individuality" that the "children of Joseph" are the spiritual
foil to the corruptive nihilistic forces of the "children of Esav"
(/Edom/ Oppression), as the sages have taught;
"the exile of Edom will conclude in defeat by the hand of the anointed of Joseph".

The sages have postulated that Joseph's path is more suitable to
thrive amidst exile, while the path of Judah is most suited for
ushering in a state of redemption (as Judah thrived in the Holy Land,
while Joseph reigned supreme amidst exile). This is why the sages have
taught the the anointed of David (from the line of Judah) will not bring
redemption before the arrival, victory and passing of the anointed of Joseph.

Joseph's spiritually "masculine" path to humility is generally misunderstood
as being, foreign, antithetical and dangerous to those who follow the
spiritually "feminine" path of "Judah" (just as within the biblical narrative,
Joseph was misunderstood, entrapped and enslaved by Judah's collective).

(It is interesting to note that each of these energies are reflected in
mass culture. Societies unable to master their spiritual drive for
the path of Judah may find themselves ushering in communist or
fascist movements, while societies unable to master their spiritual
attraction for the path of Joseph may find themselves ushering in
anarcho-capitalism, extreme libertarianism or narcissistic movements.)

True peace (/shleimut/ actualization) arrives once the paths of
feminine and masculine humility completely coalesce;
bringing in its wake a transcendent healing spirit and a wellspring
of blessing for all.
