Okay, gotcha. In other words, the self-sacrifice of humbling oneself gives one power. "He who exalts himself shall be debased, but he who humbles himself shall be chief among my favorites." That sort of thing.
Coincidentally (or perhaps "synchronistically"), Jung has explained the symbol of Christ on the cross as representing the sacrifice of Ego on the altar of the Self, so your statement makes sense in that light as well.
