Remember that Truth is many sided. Have much tender Love and Patience for all who do not see as you do. -- "God Calling," March 4
We learn to judge not lest we be judged, and the reasoning mind slaps tape across our mouth so we do not "gossip" or "take inventories." Then take unearned feel-good for being nonjudgmental.
Ah, but our mind, our free-will mind, is too much the source of our woes...making it is not what happens to us, it is how we react to it the ghost rider of the egoic mind.
The intervening step between what happens to us and judging not is the unreined ego. Untrained, knowing naught of spiritual principles, the ego's goal is self-protection, and it thrives in free will. Free will...the ego's go-cart for ensuing guilt, blame and shame. All of which live only in our mind.
The answer, therefore, is within our mind, trained in our daily quiet time to seek still more spiritual ways and means. Having found the Father within, we no longer need to adversely judge...want to maybe, need to never.
Hate is not healed by hate, gossip is not stopped by gossip, love is not passed on by anything other than love. Those words are easy to read, the meaning is easy to understand, but the doing? That is the hard choice, and it is the base of our daily reprieve. Choose you this day....
According to me, the ego is easier to love because it is purely personal, always looking out for No. 1. God, too, is personal but personal to each of us, the same for everybody...we are all No. 1 to God.
Nobody is more special to God than I Am. Of which ego knows naught.
Thank you.
