Judgement of you, and me

I have been doing a lot of self-reflection around judgment. It is one of my core lessons in this lifetime to dive deep into. How I judge others? How do I judge myself? In the early stages of my spiritual journey, I would often find that judgment kept me safe. It allowed me to feel like I was not to blame. I was not as "unhealed" as someone else. It kept my ego feeling good...and then I realized just how much that belief system was stunting my own growth.

After my morning meditation, I was guided to share the following around judgment/separation of me vs. you.

****We are all more than the worst thing we have ever done.****

I may not have literally killed someone, and my words/actions have been used as an act of violence that has created many tiny deaths inside others.

I may not have literally raped someone, and my manipulative actions/words have been used to exert fear, power, and control over others

I may not have literally robbed someone, and my silent treatment and living in my unconscious programming have stolen years of love away from people I love.

I may not have literally beaten/bullied someone, and my demand that I am a victim, and my lack of willingness to take 100% self-responsibility have created bruises on the souls of all those around me."

Each of us is a student on the very same road. There is no inferior/superior. The deeper and more often we go within, the easier it will be for us to be aware of what really is in any situation regardless of how emotionally charged it may be. That is the power of spiritual practice, and the power of removing the veils that cover our eyes, which distort what we see

I choose to not judge me. I choose to not judge you.

**WE CAN ONLY TRANSCEND OUR OLD STORIES IF WE ARE WILLING TO LOOK THEM IN THE FACE WITH LOVE.**
