AC 8678 - pride vs. humility

AC 8678
...pride is to love self more than others,
and to set self above them,
and to wish to exercise command over others;
and they who wish this
also despise others in comparison with self,
and also persecute from hatred and revenge
those who set themselves above them,
or do not pay them respect.

[2]
... pride of heart, which is the love of self,
repels from itself the Divine,
and removes heaven from itself...
which is a state of love toward the neighbor,
and a state of humiliation toward God.
So far as a person can humble himself before the Lord,
and so far as he can love his neighbor as himself...
so far he receives the Divine,
and consequently is so far in heaven.
