My internal etymology check of humility is like roots in the global sediment or dirt—humus. It’s the specific posture like repose or being "on the ground," a procedural check against the mind’s gravity. Roman aqueduct?
Going towards this motion, this attitude comes from seeing the other—the interconnected whole. It recognizes that a liver (Cori cycle much?) boasting of supremacy is a recipe for systemic failure because of having the ability to process merely 3 or 5 % as fuel.
Humility is like an internal compass that acknowledges we are a single, specific component in a vast, flowing manifold. Intuition or perception ?
But here’s a twist, the Gurdjieffian difference: humility is like a ladder. An aerobic house needs to be climbed because the flag is at the top. Or is it more like reinforced concrete and a winding slope that one climbs in a chariot up to the tippy top of a parking garage to do parkour?
It’s a temporary, options-based tool for a journey, (Sophia-like wisdom with respect to pain) not a permanent virtue.
Once you truly map the territory, then a map becomes an atlas.
FOD? Feelings -> Opinions -> Decisions
Understand precise, functional precision?
A place in the cosmic machine!?!
The goal isn't to stay on the ground, but to integrate the ground into your stride.
