Acceptable Judgment

judgmentPonder that for a moment, maybe longer.

Judging comes in many levels: self-judgment, judging others, being judged, “constructive judging,” and good ‘ole, “not judging.”

We judge ourselves and others by age, gender,  job, homes,  cars, how they dress, speak, and what we feel is appropriate behavior.

For one hour, attempt to not judge at all. Sit in a chair, do not move. Can you do it? Even meditating you may become frustrated with a noise from a neighbor (why can’t they mow their grass earlier in the day?).  Or you may not accomplish meditating as deeply as you usually do, so you judge yourself on not getting to that space of deep meditation.  You think about all you need to get done, you should have had it done by now, or you are not organized or focused enough.

Try going for a walk:  their dog is left out too long, that neighbor should paint their ugly fence, or those people never wave back, they must be crabby…

Then there is the “I am not judging, but…”

We are human. We judge even when we try not to.

What is acceptable judgment?

Pay attention to your heart. Your divine love within you lets you know. Your heart will show you with energy in the moment you are judging.  You can ignore it or even justify it, but your heart always lets you know.  Just pay attention.

The understanding is that we are in constant judgment. We will change what we feel is acceptable judgment on our path to enlightenment; the more we become in a place of love the more we pay attention.

In the meantime, let’s all practice every moment of everyday to judge less.  Let’s honor ourselves and honor others.  We are human. We are here for this great human experience.  It is the story.  Have fun too.
