It’s a judgement thing….
We learn–or at least we’re taught–not to judge others, unless we are willing to be judged.
That’s tough. Both ways it’s tough. Often others do things we don’t think are right, we don’t feel are fair, we don’t appreciate or approve. Often–and it may seem more often–we feel that others have an unfair, unkind, unknowing opinion of us.
The “real world” makes it even tougher. Situations require one person to judge another: managers, coaches, juries (aka peers). When we are in the position to judge, we can first forgive ourselves by remembering the person we are asked to judge is of the same perfection (Spirit) as everyone. Repeat, as everyone.
Then we allow ourselves to attend humanly to our assignment to judge. That means remembering we are judging human actions, human words, and human performance. The spiritual being of every person is beyond judgement, for it needs no judgement.
This means a whole lot of personal reminding and remembering. And leads to sharing a prayer.
Sweet Spirit,
We are grateful to learn that we need not judge,
not even ourselves.
We are mindful to remember that our daily lives
may have us judge the works of others,
but not their being.
We are peaceful in knowing that their being
and our being are your Being.
That requires no judgement.
We thank you, Spirit, that each of us,
that all of us,
that the heavenly One we are
is perfect.
And so it is. And so we are.
Amen.
Love and blessings,
