judgement

this morning I was reading "Conversations With God, book one," as I have been for many morning. Of course, with my life, I am not too far into it, but also because I read a few pages and really have to translate it for my life. This morning I read:

And remember you this: that which you condemn will condemn you and that which you judge, you will one day become.

Rather, seek to change those things - or support others who are changing those things - which not longer reflect your highest sense of Who You Are.

Yet, bless all - for all is the creation of God, through life living, and this is the highest creation.

this passage really speaks to me - especially the part about judgment. I had this image of judging someone for how they look, and in fact, becoming to look that same way in another life to learn compassion for differences. I want to see all as being As It Is, yet it's so hard to not have some judgment.

Judgment is often based upon previous experience.

And many of my experiences, to date, have been my absorbtion of the experiences of others - not my own. That is pretty intense. My own experiences, subsequently, are now filtered through my interpretation of the experiences of others, so I must find my way back to my own Experience. The magnitude of that seems revolutionary for my Self.

So condemnation and judgement only bring me farther from my Self - and the deeper rediscovery of that Self. I must seek to change the things I can and more forward towards a New Level of Consciousness - deeper, more Self Focused - Self Centered!

Interesting how that becomes self-centered - something I was taught was so wrong and so un-Godly, un-Spiritual, yet it turns out to be the most Godly, Spiritual state of Being there is for me.
