How Important Is Humility?
IDG 7 Cups Hub / by Elephi
Last post
 June 16th, 2025
...See more Humility can be described as having a state of mind that is "other focused," or as having the absence of pride. It is to appreciate others' worth as important, rather than centering on oneself or on one's own talents. Humility recognizes the virtues and talents that others possess, and gives them due honor. It is also characterized by recognizing the limits of one's talents, abilities, or authority. The Tao Te Ching explains that "a humble person acts without claiming the results as his. He achieves his merit and does not rest (arrogantly) in it. He does not wish to display his superiority." True humility is not self-deprecation, nor is it weakness. Meher Baba suggests that humility has the power to "disarm antagonism and ultimately conquer it." The experience of humility is connected to one's self-understanding, awareness, openness, and ability to take new perspectives. It can be cultivated by building others up, without interrupting or dismissing their ideas. The practice of humility works against characteristics such as arrogance or complacency. It's said that the humble individual "will not be thinking about humility, rather, he will not be thinking about himself at all." Service to others can be considered as one of the greatest ways to express humility. By practicing humility, recognizing our limitations, and being willing to listen and adapt, we can build stronger relationships, make better decisions, and achieve greater success overall. * Listeners, how important do you think approaching a member with a mindset of humility is to having a successful chat? * Can you think of any areas in your life that might benefit from having a humble headspace?

Courage: A Valuable Skill
IDG 7 Cups Hub / by Elephi
Last post
 February 22nd, 2025
...See more Courage requires the willingness to take a stance on a particular position, and the tenacity not to give up in the face of discomfort. Emotional courage can be practiced and cultivated like any action-oriented skill. Personal values may serve as a foundation for emotional courage, upon which purposeful action may be developed. Those who struggle with feeling courageous might find that a period of self-reflection on their most important values can be used to identify what goals align best with their intention and purpose.  Courage takes some grit, and a little bit of confidence that one's efforts will yield desirable results. One way of building more confidence is to seek support in others. Surrounding oneself with positive people who believe in them can make the difference between the ability to stand strong, or to fall short, when faced with challenges that need courageous attention. Displaying courage by taking a stand for oneself, or for others, in accordance with their core values can contribute to a person's sense of overall efficacy in the world, and employing assertive communication styles (being clear and firm) can positively impact a person's self-esteem.  Developing courage is a learnable behavior that can be strengthened through practice and applied focus. Discussion Questions: * Who is the most courageous person you know, and what have they done that has impacted you personally? * Has there ever been a time where you took a risk that required courage, but it didn't pay off? If yes, what did you do regain your confidence?

How Does Your Favorite Music Feel?
Music & Dance / by Elephi
Last post
 March 24th, 2024
...See more Music is magic. It's mysterious. It's healing. It's moving. It's intoxicating. It's mathematical. It's living. It connects man to man by a method that is unmatched. As for me, I can never breathe in this life so deeply as I can when I'm met with that wily breath of song. That's where rapture appears. It demands that I step into the world over and over again with visceral, ecstatic, abandon. How about you?

~The Audience~ A Poem on Music
Music & Dance / by Elephi
Last post
 March 22nd, 2024
...See more Who am I? I am twisting, coursing, spiraling, and flourishing, as one pitch tumbles into the next. I am humankind’s most dynamic electro-chemical dance. Every nerve, neuron, and cell, fully inundated. I am hearts racing, palms sweating, hands shaking, and tears falling. I am the transcendent fire that surges through each vessel and every vein when the heart cries out in exaltation. I am the thunderous pounding of the Shiva Tandava. In Divine Bliss, I dance the world to the ground. I am both the vast blackness of broken hearts, and the extraordinary healing of spirits’ reborn. I am the delicious buzz in your bones when the melody soars. I am ecstasy unimagined. I am inspiration. I am sheer joyous elation. I am home. ~ Sometimes the experience comes in waves: rushing and roaring in a cyclical chase with itself. Sometimes it’s subtle, yet wholly pervasive, stirring imaginations of cosmic radiation spreading evenly throughout the observable universe. In this space, I become struck through the heart by the enormity of where I stand. The fluttering membranes tucked neatly inside of my headphones fluctuate with extraordinary fidelity, and I marvel as... all at once, it seems that every mind which has contributed to musical production throughout time, smashes into my body at terminal velocity. Composers, scientists, inventors, theorists, instrumentalists, vocalists, producers, audio engineers... along with every single soul who supported the dreams of those makers who have cumulatively created an experience that we can each share, here and now. The debt we owe is incalculable... ~ So, who then, am I? I am the becoming of every note in every song as it pours from the creative source. I am the reason, the refrain, and the resolution. Who am I? In all of my fierce and fervid glory... I am, the Audience. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As an exceptionally talented playwright once lyrically committed to paper, “Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive, right now.” - Lin Manuel Miranda And how lucky are we? Lucky that we each happened to be dropped on the planet to visit the experience of life at this exact point in time. “What twist of fate has brought us, to roads that run so near?” Memoro de la Stono – Distant Worlds – Nobuo Uematsu Lucky, I think, that we can fall hopelessly for that spicy experience of listening to, and hearing, with some manner of deep and primal complexity, a full body-wracking encounter with song... beyond even where word and pitch alone can take us.  Irreversibly connected, the audience breathes as much life into any work as the artist. A piece never shared becomes a lifeless page, never to be adored, loved, or cherished. So, I say to anyone who took the time to read my ramblings, greet and value the Divine in one another, for every unassuming face has a name... and every name carries a little bit of God within. Thanks for your time.
