Accept that everything happens by invitation only...we made a decision based on self that later placed us in a position to be hurt. Until we accept that from our toenails up, we're going to feel the victim without realizing that we are indeed the victim...the victim of our own making.
Once we get that nailed down, it is easy to see that feeling judged cannot happen without our own personal desire to feel judged. If we're feeling judged, we're judging someone, plain and simple.
It's the same old same old made new each time we remember that peace gets you peace, anger gets you anger, hate gets you hate, love gets you love. It is only in returning peace for anger, love for hate, that one breaks free...free of self, the instigator of all unease, or dis-ease, to begin with.
Gandhi taught "the loving power of non-violent
resistance" as did Martin Luther King, Jr....as did the anonymous source
with its principle of giving up fighting anything and anybody.
It was Gandhi who said, in effect, that Christianity is the
only great religion of the world that does not know that Jesus Christ taught
non-violence. It's a pity that that's still true these many years after Gandhi,
not to even mention Jesus Christ.
It is not a desire to stop judging others, but a desire to
stop feeling judged by others that can be our goal.
Thank You.
