Judgment is Not a Spiritual Tool. Use Acceptance Instead
Neither judge nor condemn is a concept that is critical to living within the paradigm that we are all one. Non-judgment is impossible to do when you live your life within the separation mentality.
When you think of yourself as separate you constantly compare your efforts in the game of 'survival of the fittest' against your opponents. So, inherent in this separateness is the constant judging of yourself to see if you are winning, and the constant judging of all other people, places, and things to see how you are in relationship to them.
The prevailing mentality is that there is only so much stuff out there and you need to get yours before everybody else gets theirs or else you may lose out and not get what you want and therefore, you cannot ever be happy. It is a mentality of competition for a limited supply of whatever you are after.
You see the physical world and you believe that the only thing that exists is the physical things that you can recognize through your physical senses. Your physical senses tell you that you are separate from all other things physical and the only logical conclusion is that there are limits on all things physical.
You are told to judge all the experiences in your life to see how they will affect your ability to win or lose. When you judge something you put a label on it and in so doing you limit whatever it is you judge. This is especially so when you judge other people. The label that you assign someone narrows the amount of light that you allow to shine from them.
You can never see them in full light and cannot therefore see all that they are. You miss out on their full potential and restrict their ability to help you. As you attach these judgment labels, you set conditions and assign expectations.
When these conditions and expectations are not met, you assign further limiting judgments and trap yourself in your own snare. You find it hard to back track from a misjudgment, so you resort to justifying your judgments, which results in bonding you tighter to your unjustified position.
Instead of being aware that this judging is not serving you, you are compelled to not acknowledge the effects of your judgments and this only serves to keep you sleepwalking. Judgments beget limits, limits beget conditions, conditions beget expectations, and expectations beget judgments. A vicious cycle and the best way to get out of it is to quit cold turkey.
STOP JUDGING THE PEOPLE, PLACES, EVENTS AND EXPERIENCES THAT SHOW UP IN YOUR LIFE.
The effects of this one simple step are staggering. Once again we see our old adage. Simple, yet complex.
Every action or inaction we take has a natural consequence. The natural consequence of judging the people, events and circumstances of your life is that you limit how they can serve you. The natural consequence of not judging the people, events and circumstances of your life is that you are allowing those people, events and circumstances to show you the gifts they have for you.
This is a giant leap in the evolutionary process. This one concept, “neither judge nor condemn,” can transform your life. When you replace judgment with acceptance you move from the paradigm of fear to the paradigm of love. Fear judges, love accepts. It is as simple and as complex as that.
Once again, STOP JUDGING THE PEOPLE, PLACES, EVENTS AND EXPERIENCES THAT SHOW UP IN YOUR LIFE. The key is to accept whatever shows up in your life and see how it can serve you. The reason it showed up in your life is that in some way, shape or form you CREATED it.
You are the creator of your own life. Nobody else is creating your life for you. You are the creator of your own life. Stop judging your creations. Accept all your creations and bless them. If your creations do not seem to serve you then choose again and create something that will serve you.
You are not serving yourself by judging and condemning your creations. Total acceptance is the key to understanding why the things that show up in your reality are there. Accept everything and judge not. You will see a whole new world open up before your very eyes.
