Today, I will judge nothing that occurs…
Isn’t judgment, when it boils down to it, merely the refusal to see outside the boundary one has drawn around the I-self of the personal world; to give up the throne of ‘being right’ and justified in our wrongful misery?
Today’s lesson asks us to get honest with ourselves.
Isn’t it true that we have been wrong about virtually every interpretation we have made or bought into and made ours?
And furthermore, haven’t those interpretations been the very thing that ended up bringing us the pain we thought we were trying to avoid? I mean, if we’re really being honest here…
It’s spectacular that we could have such a love affair with our “right to be right and miserable” in the mist of our blatant failure at happiness…
In fact, isn’t this very mechanism, judgment, and it’s utter futile hope of any meaningful assistance to our lives, that finally, through its utter hopelessness, that propelled us do disillusionment where we found ourselves throwing our hands in the air and dropping to our knees in downright defeat, barely eking out that prayer of hope we’re all familiar with: “Please, there has got to be another way! I want it now”…
And isn’t our judgment’s impotence, that brought us to attract this Course into our lives in the first place?
It is precisely due to failing miserably at our judgment of life that actually initiated us into our birthright happiness, birthing our recognition of our true Self by way of forgiving all we thought we were before this moment?
The letting go of judgment is the obvious prerequisite for hearing the voice for God ~for Love itself… It is only when we suspend judgment, that we can here the voice of reason.
On the most basic level, reason speaks so loudly of our inadequacy to see the big picture through the eyes of our judgments… When viewed from this perspective, at this stage of the curriculum, it is it is impossible to miss the significance of today’s lesson; one simple day, completely removing the ‘I’-from-the-One, in the living equation…
We are naturally capable of being only with what actually IS, right now, in this present moment, absent of interpretation.
Our curriculum and devotion have prepared us. And we are ready to open our eyes and arms completely naked and fresh, awaiting in infinite patience…We will be given what we need…
Each moment is already alive with fullness.
The reason we fail to be aware of it this fullness, is because of our attachment to the time/space belief as a reality. But haven’t we seen its subjectivity in all our investigations of the body-mind thoughts system, at every turn?
The past resides only within memory, which is selective and distorted at best, and cannot ever be adequately investigated in present awareness. We can’t actually experience the past, because when we attempt to, it is only in the now in which we experience a present awareness of a memory.
And haven’t we seen that what compels us to the future, is more of the same, resulting from lessons learned; attachments and aversions, based on the stored past memory? How can we continue to give it credence, let alone judge and plan our lives from it?
Leave judgment to the Self (Holy Spirit) who knows… Leave it to the unknowing fullness we experience in awareness during full surrender of the fenced-off self… It is enough...
“Today, we leave creation free to be itself’…
Today, we will judge nothing that occurs…
I love you.
