Humility to me is the ability to put others before your self (selflessness). In hand with humility you have mindfulness which is a higher state of awareness where your mind transcends general consciousness and becomes aware of others needs as opposed to your own desires (thoughtlessness). The relevance of this may or may not come to light but it is nice to know.
So to get into the kingdom of heaven you have to make the two one, the inner as the outer, outer as the inner, the above as the below, the male and female into a single one so the male will not be male nor female, female. When you make eyes in the place of an eye, a hand in the place of a hand, a foot in the place of a foot and an image in the place of an image, then you shall enter the kingdom of heaven.
So to make the two one, the inner as the outer is talking about the losing of the ego for without it you become at one with the outer world and realise that you are part of something bigger so the outer becomes the inner. The above as the below, once the ego is purified you have a direct link to the source well actually two, the sun and mother earth if you are into symbolism or the father and mother spirit and the two become one.
The male and female into a single one is talking more about the mergence but this time a mergence of the masculine and feminine energies, the two different aspects of the mother-father or creative spirit which though it is both is also neither.
Now when you make eyes in the place of an eye is talking about having a higher state of awareness (the more eyes the more aware you are), a hand in place of a hand is basically saying you lead a selfless life as that hand is the hand of God (love) and doing work is service to your fellow man (not adoration), a foot in the place of a foot, you walk with God and an image in the place of an image though it’s a different perception of God.
So to enter the kingdom of heaven just lose the ego, make sure that all your actions are moulded by thoughts generated for the greater good and then you will find an oneness with the universe.
