We get a quick hit
of self-righteousness when we judge others.
It's a reliable little crutch when we feel hurt, insecure, or
vulnerable.
The moment we see
ourselves as separate from anyone else, we detour into a false belief system
that is out of alignment with our true nature.
We must recognize
that we all have the same problem and the same solution. Our problem is that we
separated from love
and the solution is to return to love.
Ego reinforces our
separation by convincing us that we're less special or more special than
others.
Our manifestation of
specialness is the special relationship, which the ego uses to protect us from
feeling the pain of separation.
When your idol
falls, you fall with them.
Judgment is the
number one reason we feel blocked, sad, and alone.
It's easier to make
fun of, write off, or judge someone for a perceived weakness of theirs than it
is to examine our own sense of lack.
We unconsciously
choose to judge rather than feel the pain beneath our wounds.
You create your
reality with the thoughts you repeat and the beliefs you align with.
We can use logic and
intuition to discern what feels right for us without being judgmental. It's the habit of condemning and criticizing
that we must let go of.
One way you know
you're in judgment (and not discernment) is that you don’t feel good; instead
you feel defensive, fearful, or under attack.
It's a sign you've separated from love and chosen fear.
Often when people
trigger our wounds, we judge them when this happens instead of accepting that
the discomfort is really about us.
The way out of
judgment begins when you witness the judgment without more judgment.
Being willing to
accept the parts of our consciousness that are out of spiritual alignment makes
us stronger.
When we feel safe
enough to expose our shadows, that's when we become free.
Why would I feel the
need to judge if I felt safe and complete?
The clearest way to
find joy and success is to join your mind with love.
The reason you judge
is because you're avoiding an emotion that you don't want to feel.
When judgment is on
the altar, we get stuck in the chaos of what we don't want and only create more
of it.
When we say a
prayer, we allow our consciousness to receive intuitive guidance.
Whenever you're
triggered by others, it's because they're mirroring back elements of your
shadow that you're unwilling to heal.
Meditation has the
capacity to transform all your relationships, including your relationship to
yourself.
Witness your fear,
offer it to your inner guide for healing, and let forgiveness lead to
miracles.
Liberation from
judgment requires our willingness to forgive.
Without forgiveness we continue to live in the shadows of our past and
our projections of the future.
Your ego works
continuously to convince you that some outside force is the source of your
dilemma, rather than your inward-facing turmoil.
Forgiveness requires
practice and repetition.
