JUDGMENT

Good or bad,
Right or wrong,
Better or worse than...
Every Judgment re-creates an idealised fiction
That is probably unrealistic,
Even if only because it's based on the percieved performance
Of something or someone "else".
Judgments and self-criticisms
Arise from a non-existent absolute
Against which we measure our selves
And categorise others.

The Inner Critic/Judge is the two-faced Janus
We contracted to stand sentry at the gate of our soul,
To keep us "safe" ..............
And imprisoned.
(We didn't bargain on that.)

Just watch,
Observe how the Judge works.
Watch it uncritically in others
And in your self.
Another entity denying or excusing him/her self,
This entity denying or excusing itself.
Notice the effect each sentence, each frown, each "tut-tut" has on you.
Underneath the self-righteousness,
Feel the contractions.

Man judges and pardons,
God allows,
And just watches - unjudgmentally - to see what happens next.

Outside of mere man-mind, I suspect,
There is no judging God,
No avenging angels,
No Judgment Day.
Armageddon is what's happening within
While we waste every day sitting in criticism and judgment.
Stop doing it!
Who do we think we're "correcting"?
Who are we trying to punish?

If you find that you're too late -
You've just judged someone,
Don't judge your self for it.
It's just a habit.
Let it go.
The more often you let it go,
The sooner it will let you go.

Gain the wisdom --
Judging and being judged
Are each inherent in the other;
Not at some later judgment date,
But in this instant.

Resurrection is what happens
When we lift the burdens of judgment, guilt and punishment
And allow the healing of At-one-ment.
