In Truth: Judge, We Must

Judging others is a greatly misunderstood Spiritual principle. We not only should judge the behavior of others but Living on the Spiritual Basis makes it a requirement. The difficulty arises when we confuse righteous judgment with condemnation.

When we condemn it places us in a position to be harmed, for we have assumed a morally elevated position, an attitude of "better than" if you will, which of course is false. No one is above or below another in the sight of God. Though our paths may be very different, our challenges and lessons in life diverse, no one is beyond grace and forgiveness in Spirit which always manifests if we truly mean business and desire change. This does not mean crimes and transgressions are forgotten or ignored, but we must be willing to go to any lengths for salvation, for the ultimate freedom from the bondage of self. So we condemn the act, not the actor.

All reap as they have sown, and unfortunately some will never seek enlightenment, choosing fear over freedom. However we are mistaken if we condemn them or wish (or worse desire) harm to anyone. Hate does not cease with hate. Anger is never assuaged with more anger. Condemnation never builds character or leads to freedom.

So judge righteously and the whole world improves, condemn and we all suffer for we are all connected in Spirit, all children of the Divine Presence.

Heaven Rejoices

As we progress on the path of awakening we become more sensitive to the world and our fellows and as such, the adversary fear and his children depression, anxiety and morbid reflection seemingly grow stronger, more insistent. This is natural for many things which escaped our notice before embarking on this path are now noticeable since we are operating at increased levels of awareness. Nothing has really changed however for fear, negative thinking and morbid reflection can only gain purchase if we fail to affirm love and guidance in our life by means of consistent prayer, meditation and service. The very activities that raised our consciousness in the first place making us more receptive! So take heart, though the world and its mostly self-inflicted suffering touches you more deeply and profoundly, the surety of your role as an instrument of peace and enlightenment is evident because of this increased awareness, your awakening manifest.

So though troubled we stay the course, asking in prayer and meditation what we can do each day for the those who still suffer, remembering always we are instruments of Divine will, and just like a musical instrument nothing happens until the musician takes it up and begins to play. So we strive to be the best instrument possible, though we may be terribly flawed, perhaps still wracked with guilt and fear, when we allow ourselves to be placed in the Master's hands the notes are miraculous, causing Heaven itself to rejoice and we are free.
