when i discovered this truth, i marveled at the level of denial that was in me. choosing judgment over and over creates an automaton state, where right and wrong are seen as truth and illusion.

Hola!
WOW. This is a beautiful post. Reading this, and your comments section, also brought to my mind the subject of forgiveness. These two things together bring one so much peace. Thanks for posting this.
Go Easy,
J. King

Giving up judgments is to love as God loves. Demonstrating this love is to bring Heaven to earth, and truth to illusion. - Such a wonderful and succinct line. Jumping to judgment seems to be almost automatic for too many people. The very thing that separates us from other animals - the flow of stimulus.. (think..choose).. response - is too often stimulus (judge) response; the judgment getting in the way of the love that would mean such a difference in our world.

it's so very simple that i think we overlook it and think, 'surely, there must be more.' that's when the machinery of the mind takes over and it becomes something it is not.

i have two young boys and a third on the way. i probably would not react in front of them. but, inwardly, i probably would struggle with killing whoever did it. that brings me to a critical point: what kind of parent would i be, if i committed a crime and deprived my children of the parent they needed? Would not my inability to love and forgive prevent me from loving them? I subscribe to no theology, or philosophy. Words are twice removed from reality, which is why they are so unreliable as purveyors of truth. Truth lies within, in the moment and with the thoughts and intentions that give them life. I speak from my own authority, which i would never force on anyone. do not accept what i say: see if it is true in your own heart. that's where it matters.

yes, loving oneself is the avenue through which love flows. accepting what is happening is something that is not encouraged; in fact, the opposite is taught to us from a very early age. seeing the motivations that underlie the need to make constant comparisons is the release from the prison they create. we still make them, but they cease to have control the more we understand that we choose them.

I don't know if you have children but if you do and someone molested them
what message would you give your child if you just made no comment, no judgment and did or said nothing. Would you mind sharing with me where you get your theology, philosophy or whatever it is?

Loving without judgement is purely common sense. Its a way to ensure no one else hurts me. As long as I don't judge the other person they feel comfortable. And they feel no need to physically hurt me if I pass bad judgement. I've found that not judging is simply the best way to get along. It has nothing to do with God. That being said not judging is impossible. We judge ourselves constantly. Am I wearing the right dress? Does this cologne smell right? Am I a good lover? Aren't we supposed to love ourselves the most?
