Grounding Pride into Humility

Neville's Inner Vision

Obadiah presents a scene where the heart, perched in the clefts of a rock, believes height guarantees safety. The phrase, 'Who shall bring me down to the ground?' is a mental posture—pride as a state of consciousness that forgets the ground of Being. You are not a fortress of self-sufficiency; you are the awareness that perceives through that fortress. When you identify with such height, you cut yourself off from your true self and invite correction from within. The cure is not to fight the world but to revise your inner premise: you are the I AM, and there is no ground but the ground you imagine. Feel the rock beneath you dissolve into air and let the living, present ground of awareness uphold you. In that revision, humility arises as alignment with your divine nature, and external appearances of downfall fade into a steadiness of consciousness that no fortress can threaten.
