The Seven Graces – Reverence

Respect is the ego’s expression of the grace of Reverence. The grace of Reverence grants a perception of unity in which the suffering of one tribe is understood to be interwoven with the suffering of all tribes.

Reverence is the grace that enables us to see that all of life in and interconnected field of cosmic activity that has its origins and ending in divine consciousness.

Reverence also leads one ever more deeply into a sense of awe. The presence of the sacred is perceived as the source of life, and your soul is deeply connected to that source. To be filled with awe is the response of the humble before the Divine, and a response that acknowledges that the power governing life is not contained or defined by intellectual parameters. Life is defined by a force much greater than can be measured by human intellect.
