'Judgement' Articles
The world and our lives as we see them are rather simply the bi-product of judgements me make. The first and foremost being a judgement of ourselves. People who annoy us are usually just reflecting that which we are trying to reject in ourselves. If it were totally foreign we might see it as weird, but wouldn’t find it disturbing.
Judgement is an inherently restrictive force in the mind but it lays no restrictions on others, not without some overt force. Our judgements restrict us. For all who would judge, consider the impact of your own judgment in your life.
“Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers” Voltaire quotes (French Philosopher and Writer. One of the greatest of all French authors, 1694-1778)
“Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.” Wayne Dyer quotes (American motivational Speaker and Author of self-help best selling books. b.1940)
Judgement and our World View
Judgement is something I have been dealing with lately, but there are some simple facts regarding it. As much as people may want to believe otherwise, we do not respond to an objective reality. The world and our lives as we see them are simply the bi-product of judgements me make. The first and foremost being a judgement of ourselves. Does anyone know someone who judges the world harshly, but themselves positively? The mind has a way of checking ideas and its world view for consistency. So if the person seems to judge themselves positively and the world poorly, the brain… Seek More
The Third Point
The shadow consciousness theory of psychology is the notion of suppression of our selves by our judgement. When we see other people doing what we have stopped ourselves from doing, it traumatizes the shadow consciousness. Our judgement traumatizes it reflexively. Being moral entrepreneurs it brings doubts to our certainties or enforces our bitterness and jealousy of others freedoms, because we’re not letting our selves be as free. There is a third point between our normal consciousness and our shadow consciousness, but most people don’t seek this third point. They see what they have chosen to believe, their judgement. They see… Seek More
Mirroring
There can be said to be two paths in the world. In the Cabala, they are called the pillar of mercy and the pillar of severity, but in fact there are three points. They are only opposed in the minds of those who oppose them. My own path is more in keeping with the pillar of severity. This is my natural inclination. But to the one who sees, severity or mercy, in the true spirit they are one. It is severe if I extinguish the life of a suffering animal, but that is also compassion. It is severe if a frighten… Seek More
Truth Is
They say adversity doesn’t make you who you are, it shows who you are. It’s there. There is more than judgement. Like language is acquired by an infant, there is a language behind the mind/body connection. There is a language by which the world is assembled, and having failed to acquire that it makes things harder. We tend to be more aware of other tongues than our native tongue. You will recognize Spanish being spoken faster than English if you are English speaking, and won’t have to try to pay attention to it. In my case, as is often the… Seek More
Restriction of Judgement
Judgement, what it is and what it does. Judgement is an inherently restrictive force in the mind, but it lays no restrictions on others not without some overt force. Our judgements restrict us. We do not perceive our world directly. We do not see things as they are. We see them as we judge them to be, people too. If you judge another harshly you do not directly impact them. They may not even care for your judgement one way or another, but you do leave a mark on your mind and your life. How you judge the world likewise… Seek More
Negative Self Judgement
Here is an example of negative self judgement: A man feels that there must be something wrong with any woman who wants to be with him, and feeling this way has him sabotaging his relationships. In this case, he has learned to take relationships seriously, and likely has looked at his own behaviour in a very factual light. He can likely be very real with people. If he could see that his problem isn’t the problem and see the truth that lets him supposedly see this problem, he would not sabotage his relationships. He would see what he has to offer.… Seek More
