Self-depreciation and self-disparagement, like sclf-consciousness, arc minor forms of pride.
There is no self-depreciation, for man is spiritual and knows that he is spiritual; man is divine and knows that he is divine ; man is perfect and knows that he is perfect; man does perfect work and knows that he does perfect work, for God is Truth and man knows Truth. Man never thinks of himself, he thinks only of God and God’s ideas ; no disparaging thoughts ever come to man, only God’s thoughts come, which give man joy and happiness continually; he is always re-presenting God’s perfect ideas to his fellow-man, giving him infinite joy, and this helping of his fellow-man gives him infinite joy and happiness. (Work against self-criticism.)
