Humans are judgment machines. We do it unconsciously all day every day in the background of our mind. When we judge ourselves, others, or a combination of the two, our ego makes what is happening wrong or bad. Judgment comes from a place of not being OK the way we are, and/or the fact that we feel the situation isn’t OK how it is for us. It bubbles up from a place of fear and separation where we feel we can’t get what we need or want in certain circumstances, or have to harm others to get our needs met. We have all been programmed with a 3rd-dimensional perspective of right and wrong/ good and bad that the ego uses to try to protect us and keep us safe. Most of us learned that it’s better to be right at the expense of others being wrong. Some of us learned that it’s safer to be wrong so those in authority can be right. Either way, the ego needs us to be on the right side of things to be safe. And, THAT keeps us locked in judgment.
Judgment is alive and well when you see others as acting stupid or ridiculous. Judgment is alive and well when you notice your ego’s stories about how your face looks bloated, your mother is upset with you, or that others look at you strangely and whisper behind your back. The only reason you believe these stories is that these circumstances trigger your old inner judgments: You are not enough, something is wrong with you, you screwed up, you don’t know how, etc. All of these limiting beliefs are judgments against ourselves. When the outside world provides evidence of it, we accept it as truth.
What if the judgment is simply a gatekeeper to our fully expanding consciousness? From a higher perspective, the ego uses judgment as a ‘test’ to see if we have come into inner-alignment and taken over as the inner-CEO. Until we are in charge within, judgment will continue to play out in our lives without our permission.
One of the first steps to moving out of judgment is to notice when it is happening without trying to fix or change it. Staying out of the ‘resistance’ (wanting it to be different) and staying open instead. Seeing what is happening with neutral eyes and a calm heart. ‘Oh, that’s what’s going on. Good to know.’
The trap is in judging judgment. Judgment gets to be loved and accepted just like every other part of your 3rd Dimensional experience. If you make the act of judging a problem, then judgment wins again. Everything gets to be accepted exactly as it is – even judgment. When you notice yourself judging against yourself or another, simply notice and thank it for showing itself without making yourself or another wrong: ‘Ah, there is judgment – hello there…it’s OK if you are here. I see you!’
Are you ready to release judgment from itself today?
