•   Judgement

.».  Opening
    When we judge we connect with their energy.  Have you ever noticed someone judge another and be really happy and at peace?  Smug possibly in the belief they are right, the other is wrong.  This only feeds the ego and creates anger in them.  When we judge another we become energetically responsible for their negativity.  Judging at it’s root form is the connecting in with their negativity.

.».  To Practice
» What is my intention for judgement.
       What is your intention for judging them?  Other than feeding the ego judging another serves no purpose.  Ask this question of yourself as a way to move towards deeply knowing yourself, the answer will likely extend beyond them and the judgement.  You may start to ask is this how I want to be, is this how I want to experience this/my life?
       You can take this awareness a level deeper beyond judging to noticing (S9. Noticing).  Noticing a situation (rather than judging) keeps you neutral to the possible negativity of their actions.

» You can perform a little test here.  
       Imagine someone acting in a way contrary to your core values.  Say: what they are doing is wrong and they are a bad person.  What do you feel in your body, possibly contraction, anger.  Possibly you are in the space where you use words like I hate that person, that person is an idiot or they are stupid.  Do you feel these comments even more inside you?
       Now same imaginary situation say: I don’t agree with what they are doing, how they are, the choices they are making or I don’t agree with the way they are doing that.  Do you notice a difference in how you feel, in your body, in your Being?  There may be sadness, frustration but less likely anger.  The journey of noticing these feelings in your Being is the journey we are on as human beings (and the deeper intention of this Topic).
       That’s dumb the way they are doing that (judge) or that’s not how I would do it (opinion) both of these fall sort of middle of the way.  The question here is do you really need to judge or even have an opinion about everything you see?  This can be tiring…  Even as an exercise you may want to release these judgments, see how next:

» I release that judgement.
       In the moment when you have judged someone and now no longer wish to be responsible for them (energy) through your judging you can say this sort of prayer Expression I release that judgement to free yourself.  Whisper it, feel it with a smile on your face.  They may still be part of your life, you might see them everyday but you are not judging them, you are free (S10. Freedom) of judging them freeing you to express you.
       As a way to release yourself from past judging you (also) are to say I release that judgement.  Say this to extricate yourself from responsibility of past judging of them.  So much of the releasing is about the energy (your intention) rather than the actual words you say.  As you say the Expression you may notice (feeling) the judgement in question.  You may be picturing the person or situation, this is the deeper interaction with the Expression and your releasing of the judgement (pain).
       Note:  The releasing of judgments can be particularly useful around judgments of your family/parents, both from and towards them (S11. Acknowledgement).

.».  Expressions
You:
» Judging is the giving away of your energy to them.
» At some point as you do the work you may believe you know it all or at least more than others and start to judge them for not doing the work.
       Maybe don’t do this?
» You can judge them (they are this way or that, they are not this or that) yet realize in that moment you are not living for you and giving your energy to them.
       In the evening when you are running out of energy look back to the earlier moments of the day when you judged (others), was it worth it now?  Give your energy to you, give your energy to those you love.
» To state (judge) that a person is… draws a conclusion.  In that conclusion there is no space for them to change and they likely will change (positively or negatively rendering your judgement inaccurate).  When you judge there is no space for them to make a mistake, learn and grow.  Judging them wrong or bad, this is how they are… when they change, possibly help you out one day now where does your judgement of them stand?  Probably no longer accurate, this makes you wrong?
       + No, this means you too have an opportunity to make a mistake (judge), learn and grow.

Them:
» Those who judge.
       When I am failing they will point out my failings, when I am succeeding they will try to discredit my success.  At the end of it all I lived and they judged.  Will you live or judge?  Will you fail/succeed or judge?  Notice how the judges reside outside the arena (light) essentially in the shadows  (S1.Foundational Wisdom) of life.  Are you living the life you would like to, are you judging others?  When there is not enough energy for your dreams possibly letting go of judging is a place to start…
» The other side of judgement.
       Know yourself free of the judgement from others.  There will always be someone to judge or criticize you, how you react (or not) then becomes your life path.  So rather than trying to get rid of the judges (like trying to leave the collective) you focus on your life through knowing yourself (S11. knowing Yourself).
» Through the system of man we are taught to judge.
       This is the continuation of man(kind) holding man(kind) down (S5. Lifestyle, the system).
» I (you) don’t need to judge…
       It’s just a different path (they are on).  The same path but a different path, their path.  We each are on the same path essentially living out our unique version of the journey.

A different way to be:
» Judging is (all) about pain.
       Their pain, your pain.  You can witness (S9. Notice) and you can judge, love or pain (S4. Love or Pain).
» Judging is about hopelessness.
       The judgement you make may be about them yet it’s your hopelessness that is showing up.
» If you are going to judge someone’s actions you then take responsibility for them and their actions (the judged actions energy).
       The key is differentiating between opinion and judging.  When you judge them what you did was wrong you become responsible (S5. Responsibility).  When opinion I didn’t agree with what they did even I am down right angry with what they did (are) opinion.  Your judging creates anger (S2. Anger) in you, this is the playing out of the responsibility.  This will also in some lead to blaming others.  You (when judging)  likely need them to change for you to find peace, it almost doesn’t work this way and you live restless and ill.
       » But it’s a fact my judgement of them.
              It may be true but when you judge you take on their energy, you bring it into your system.  Better to notice their action than to judge.
» Judging and opinion differ?
       They are terrible is judging.
       I don’t like (appreciate) their view is your opinion, you retain more of your energy.
» What is the option other than opinion?
       Being.  Notice the situation.  Take in the moment without the negativity.  Notice, embrace the energy in every situation free of judgement, free of opinion.  You can still decide what you like and don’t like, this can be different that opinion.  The difference being the focus (S11. Focused Greatness) is on you.  It’s slight, it’s subtle yet it’s there.
» The impact of judging on you.
       Judging –> Anger –> feeding the Ego       
       Opinion –> possibly Sadness –> You retain your sense of self
» Judging and noticing are opposite ways to interact with another (not the only ways)
       You can judge them, limiting possibility.  You can notice them and allow life to unfold.
» Judging is about declaring what someone is not.
       “They are not great, they are bad at…”
       In judging the energy typically is on the negative, what is wrong with another (your perception).  In noticing their light, how they are in the world and where they are working to evolve, change, grow you allow the space for them and you to be.
       What about Positive judgments?  They can lead to expectations, disappointment and conflict.  Say for example you declare a musician as the best guitarist ever.  For some they feel the need to dispute this claim and conflict arises.  In declaring that you like this musician then that is your opinion, others may disagree and that’s ok.  There is less need for conflict in stating your opinion.
» Judging is rooted in perception.
       Noticing takes you closer to reality (S1. Reality).  When you judge the situation is set, there is no possibility for change.  In a sense your mind is made up.  When you notice them you notice the possibilities of the moment which may extend beyond the situation.  In effect out of their transgression you may find the answers for your life through noticing.  This is the gift (EI. Intention, Gift) available in every moment.
       Further along your path beyond judging, beyond negative energy you will know how to use the energy of the moment to create (S4. Energy).  

.».  Examples
       Imagine meeting someone who is different than you.  You may notice those differences.  When the noticing becomes your judgement as you feel deeper into the judging you will recognize the judging is no longer about them and shines a light on your hopelessness (even when your judgment is true).  Do you see how possibly Christ has risen in some small (or large) way in you?  Believe in yourself (the Christ in you) and you let go of the need to judge others.

.».  Summary
       In judging, in criticizing others you participate in their situation (energy), this is tiring for you.  You may notice others posses qualities (your perception of good, bad, other) that’s fine.  In the noticing you don’t judge, you don’t take in their issue.  Compassion (S3.Compassion) is beyond judgement, is the evolving of your Being.
      As you evolve judging negatively shifts to compassion.  Judging positively shifts to inspiration (S5. Inspiration) as an action.
