Judge Not Lest (Originally Published 9/29/2021)


I’m going to blame the planets. Yes, that must be the reason that wherever I looked last week whether it was the news, my team players, my son or my husband that criticism of EVERYTHING was the main banter of the moment. For some odd reason, I’m on high alert when I hear people judging others in a critical sort of way. It feels like I want to shake them and ask them, “don’t you know what you are criticizing in others you are actually doing yourself?”


My son judged his free meal at our house with disdain. Several team players at the office judged the actions of several other team players harshly. All over the media appeared the judgement of someone or some group most arrogantly. Even my normally passive husband passed judgement on a group of people he’s never met, very arrogantly.  What’s up with that?


The Bible is very clear: “Judge not lest ye be judged.” Judgement is a spiritual talent designed to keep one safe. In a snap second one must “judging” whether or not to put one’s foot on the brake when driving, whether or not the person you just met will harm you, whether the hot pan is cool enough to handle and so on. Judging the intelligence, actions, and stations in life of others, in any fashion, is a mental and emotional toxin that if not dealt with immediately pushes one off center – a dangerous place to be—where all chaos steps in and takes over.


Wars begin when a certain faction or group of people decide (judge) that their way is the “only way”. Their judgement is so strong that they have convinced themselves and anyone else they can persuade to overpower others (as Hitler did) because their judgement of a different group has provided them a false superiority over others. Germany, some 80 years later, is still reeling from the atrocities of WWII. Hitler incited the judgement of others upon Jews to mobilize non-Jews into a killing machine. The US government judged the supposed “animal-like ignorance” of the American Indian and in their great and infinite wisdom began the destruction of an entire culture. That’s judgement on a worldly and country level. Where is judgement creating havoc in your world?


I have a friend who decided to leave one real estate office for another. For the last month, every time we crossed each other’s path, he’s ragging on about his previous broker and how bad the broker was. Really? You selected that broker. You moved on. Why are you dragging that judgement of someone else’s inequities with you? Why, why, why?


Succinctly put, take a minute to listen to yourself. Whatever critical judgements you are making about others, point the arrow at yourself because we can only see in others traits in ourselves that need improving. It’s no trick. What we see in others that we don’t like carries a little flicker of the same behavior in our own lives. In fact, Soul puts people in our lives so that we can ultimately see the plank in our own eye–not the eyes of others.


I heard myself the other day comment to my husband how so and so only thinks of herself in everything she does. I stopped dead in my tracks. By definition I must be doing the same thing to be able to recognize that in her.


Here’s today’s point: Listen to what you are saying about others. Really listen. That’s who you are! See the beauty in another person? You too carry that beauty. See and recognize the light in others? Shadow in others? That’s who you are as well.


When one is willing to look within to identify one’s true self, admit one’s own personal inequities, and seek to rise above them, then and only then can one begin to move into even richer adventures of life.


My blogs are written with the hope that as each person improves themself, the more light will be expressed on the planet. More light on the planet, the less Earth’s polarity can take hold. Fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions and winter blasts are all a result of excessive polarity incited by the human condition. Mankind collectively can alter the “high pressure” polarity of Earth by removing or at the very least seeking to remove judgmental thoughts about others from one’s human psyche. We can’t change others but we can change ourselves. DO IT!

 

AFFIRMATION: I judge others as I wish to be judged.
