Judgement

We are constantly forming opinions, making decisions about things. It is how we operate in the world. This is good, right, safe; that is bad, wrong, dangerous. It is our ego classifying everything we experience into black and white categories, to survive our life in duality.

The problem with judging is it locks us into our human perspective, and blocks out our deeper, soul awareness. There is no healing if we are constantly trapped in the jungle of form. Healing comes from a higher, finer frequency of consciousness, seeing things from a greater perspective.

Suggestion

We all judge at times. Simply notice when you may be in a strong judgement about a person, situation, behaviour. Try not to judge the judgment.

Take a deep breath, let it go. Lift your mind above the reactive human and find another way of looking at the situation. What might be going on for that person who acted thoughtlessly or harshly? Are they stressed, unhappy, stuck in their own judgments?

Notice how a higher, broader, more expansive mindset allows in new understanding. Feel the freedom that comes from relaxing the little human ideas, and opening to the loving, accepting approach of the soul.

How would your life be different if you let go all judgment?

Writer Patricia Pearce:

"If you look around the world today you will see judgment running rampant. In fact, judgment has become so extreme that it has clouded our ability to see the humanity in one another. But in a way that makes perfect sense. As we are on the cusp of this new level of consciousness, the patterns of the old are becoming amplified, burning themselves out in a sense, becoming so hyperbolic that we can finally choose to leave them behind.

Judgment is at the core of the dualistic mind. It is one of the cornerstones of the consciousness of separateness that has given rise to so much devastation and suffering on this planet. In fact, we have been so convinced that judgment is real that we have assumed it to be an essential attribute of the Divine. If you look closely you will see how much our god-concept was built upon this foundation of judgment."
