JUDGEMENT I

Can you accept who you are? If you can accept who you are, then certainly you can accept others without judgment or boundaries. That little box that you put everybody in begins to melt away.

Self-judging turns into convictions, convictions turn into beliefs, and all this fits into the desire to be right.

When you come across a person who has many negative qualities, try to see if you are talking about your own negativity. When one judges another’s path, that very same judgment turns on the person who judges. When you judge yourself continuously, you find that you are bringing your whole being physically and spiritually down in a very negative way. The spiritual heart can be polluted if you continually think thoughts that are harmful to yourself and others. You can develop the quality of non-judgment and be way ahead of all karmic attachments. Judgment brings attachments, such as attachments to being right and attachments to possessing other people’s love.

To be free from bigotry and judgment of others is to simply be free. People are afraid of those who are different and those who do not live or worship like themselves. Instead of embracing all truths as one, separation becomes their God. Remember that there is darkness in separation and light in togetherness. When you listen to someone talk about his or her path, do not judge. Listening will make your way of worship bigger and fuller. Vibrations of the Mother will come to you as you give up the judgment of others; judge no one, not even yourself.

In this moment speak to your Soul without judgment, without like or dislike. Look at the Soul as that which is, that which is never divided. It has no beginning; it is endless. This is the spiritual experience of being in the moment.
