Judgment is a biggie

How do we get away from judgment? There is only one answer I can think of and that is to love instead.  What if we did love everything, just love everything without trying — then there wouldn’t be room for judgment.

Yesterday, the question came up: When we don’t favor something, are we judging? When is something personal preference, and when is it judging?

When we wouldn’t want to do what someone else chooses to do, are we judging? Because we can’t see ourselves making a certain choice, are we judging? When we don’t understand something, or are unable to relate to it, are we judging?

I didn’t think so, but yet…

Interestingly, as I was thinking about this, I received an email from a subscriber about yesterday’s Heavenletter #2826 Imagining the Full Sunshine of Awareness, August 20, 2008. The subscriber wrote:

Hello, this Heavenletter sounds a bit like quantum physics.  Love to you as always forever and a day!

This is great news to me that a Heavenletter reflects quantum physics!  Wow! I’m impressed!

Of course, God knows quantum mechanics backwords and forwards, but I freeze up at the words quantum mechanics and mathematics and so forth. I do not understand them.  I do not have the kind of mind to comprehend them.

Is that a judgment I’m making, that I don’t have the kind of mind to understand certain things? If I don’t understand quantum mechanics, am I judging quantum mechanics?!! I suppose I am judging them difficult and beyond my understanding. I suppose that is a judgment.  I suppose that makes me close-minded.

But, what if, instead of concluding that quantum mechanics is too difficult a subject for me, I conclude that it is easy, would I then simply have made a different judgment? Or would it simply mean I’m open-minded?

Of course, I judge open-mindedness as much better than close-mindedness.

When  we avoid learning something, are we acting on a judgment from the past? If we run to learn something, are we also acting on a judgment from the past? Are all judgments based on the past?

God tells us time and time again to get out of the past.

Now, will someone kindly tell me how Imagining the Full Sunshine of Awareness relates to quantum mechanics! I really really would like to know.

There, there. Not wanting to burn your fingers on a hot stove isn’t judgement. When you are dog-tired, wanting to go to bed instead of watching another late-night classic isn’t judgement. Judgement has criteria, preferences and natural reflexes have not. I don’t know about quantum physics except on a very general, philosophical level (well, thinking about it, I realize I have forgotten most of it, and I have given away the books I had on modern physics…). Are you sure you are impressed?

Maybe what your reader had in mind was the part of quantum physics that says our very observation of “reality” changes what was there. As I understand it this takes place at a subatomic level. God seems to be saying the same thing in different words. We affect our “reality” with our thoughts.

I don’t see how we could get thru a day without constantly “judging”, but we could probably call it by a different word with less baggage attached. Is that car going to stop for the red light, is that dog friendly, is this tomato ripe?

Where we seem to get in trouble is where the observation that someone thinks differently than us shifts over into the conviction that they would be better off if they thought like us. Or even worse that they must be made to think like us.

Judgment/conviction, legal terms. At the same time it occasionally becomes necessary for the common good to judge someone as a threat to society and limit their behavior by confining them. No easy black/white way out of the dilemma.

So we not only have what you might call proper judgment vs improper, it becomes necessary to judge each situation to figure out which one is in operation, and which should be. This is getting as complicated as quantum physics.

Some horrible judgmental things have been done in the name of God all thru history. I would say most of them probably by putting the intellect in charge of things, but certainly runaway emotion has also played its part. Unfortunately I have contributed to the general mess more than I like to think about.

It seems to me that the more we can remember to operate in the Spirit of God’s Love, the closer we can come to a proper “judgment”. Perhaps stopping to ask ourselves honestly whether or not we are centered in that Love is where judgment puts its baggage down.

I am overwhelmed and made humble by these two beautiful responses. I rate your answers supreme love and wisdom. I judged them and did not find them wanting.

I will remember forever the burning stove and where judgment puts its baggage down.

God tells us to enjoy our selves, so I do not bother about what I do not like, just what I do like, so I do what God tells me to do and I never worry about judging why I do not like something. On A personal level. If the vibration of someone does not click with mine I find someone whose vibration I am comfortable with. I do not find that judgemental, if others think I am That is not my problem. Love to you All Jack

Master Appreciator, Master Blesser, I like that. Something I hope I am getting better at tho I have a long way to go. It helps to have those short names for the concept that too often seems hard to remember.

Oh man, I meant to mentioned that I posted this article draft late in the last blog post and I didn’t think people read it so I reposted in again here since the subject is on Judging.

Marko, the forum might be an appropriate place for you to submit a draft you are writing for a newsletter. Please check out the forum. Read the guidelines before you post there. This blog isn’t the right place, dear one, for your article. Please understand and accept.

Thanks Gloria, my post on judgment never showed uP anyways from what I see here, so it was not meant to be.

The Forum may come in the future, who knows. It’s all about time, and I don’t think I want to be jumping into to many spaces here with my hand full already.

Thanks and carry on!!!

Beloved Marko,

I just learned that posting in more than one place is called cross-posting, and that cross-posting is universally discouraged.

Don’t you go away, dear one.

Love and blessings,

Gloria

Gloria you said “Don’t you go away, dear one.”

Well thank you my dear! I won’t, not for long anyway:+)
Chocolate coated jumbo blessings and Love,
