Judgement of Self
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I’ve done it again! Wrote an article. Published it. The next day it hits me. I forgot to include an important concept. In the article I described an attribute of human behavior on the new planet earth. It was called “Judgement Is Over”. I neglected to talk about judgement of self. Funny thing is that self-judgement is one aspect that has played a big part in my life. It is also a very common form of judgement and the cause of an impediment to inner peace.We are, in many cases, our own toughest judges. Self-judgement is the root cause of lots of imbalances within us. We love to judge our selves as good or bad or right or wrong. Whether it is our behaviors or our perceived “status” in our families or workplace or society in general, this judgement can cause us great strife. Mental illness and sometimes even criminal behavior can result from labeling our selves as bad people or good for nothing.
One of the most popular examples of self-judgement is one that I hear all the time. It is the judging of whether we have parental approval. This practice of measuring up to our parents expectations can carry through with people their whole life causing them endless feelings of unworthiness. This feeling then overflows into many areas of their life and can cause problems with other relationships. When we carry the feeling that we have let our parents down and haven’t turned out the way they had hoped, it can lead to escaping into self-destructive behaviors to avoid facing our judged inadequacies.
As was offered in the previous article, judgement is not only just an illusion but it can also be destructive.
My father was the closest thing to God that I knew. He was God in my eyes. I ached for his approval in everything. I had a burning desire not to let him down. To live up to his expectations. Of course, as is usually the case in examples of this kind of self-judgement, he was totally fine with whatever I did and loved me regardless of my behaviors or achievements. But I was my harshest critic. I had a blessed childhood. I was a straight A student. Quarterback in football, Pitcher in baseball. Tops in anything I attempted. I had it all. Or so everyone told me. Everyone but myself. I knew I didn’t measure up to what my father expected of me. At 16 or 17 I escaped into all kinds of behavior that diverted me from the pressure of figuring out what my life’s work would be. I could be anything. Anything I put my mind to. That was too much pressure.
I partied for 10 years. Then, never became Prime Minister of Canada or head of a large corporation or rich and famous or anything really noteworthy. I had let my father down. I didn’t love myself. I was a failure in his eyes. Well maybe not in his eyes but definitely in mine. I didn’t love myself. I didn’t even like myself. The root was my belief that I was not worthy. That I screwed up. Self-judgement impeded my inner peace for many years. Until June 7 2000.
My father died June 7 1990. I woke up exactly 10 years later to the day. It was a personal trauma that jolted me out of my sleep. It was then I realized that I was God. That I was the creator of my own reality. My reality had been misjudged. These feelings of lack of self-esteem were groundless. My feelings of letting him down. Sure, he was God, but so was I. He never once gave me any indication that I was anything less than perfect. It had been just me judging myself for all these years.
For the first time in my life, my mind quit nagging at me. All was quiet inside. There was no internal chatter. No telling myself I was stupid or useless. I had inner peace. It was a feeling I carry to this day.
I learned later, after my Overlight training, that my primary life lesson in this lifetime was “love.” The love of self being the main component. Self-judgement plays a big role in the mastering of this life lesson. If you have judged yourself to be unworthy or “bad” then it is impossible to love one’s self. Loving your self is needed to love everyone and everything around you. It all goes hand in hand with our step into unity consciousness and a new planet earth.
That day in June is the basis for this whole article series about creating a new planet earth. I believe that if it can happen to me it will happen to us all. We can all obtain the inner knowing that we are masters. We are like Christ. We are all stepping into Christ consciousness.
The practice of judgement will be over. We will have the attributes that I am describing in this series. The constant judgeing of people and events will be over. The new energy will bring us the answers we seek to the meaning of life. Without judgement of self or others, the inner quiet and the ability to enjoy second of every day will become our reality. The reality in the new planet earth.

Judgement Is Over
Judgement is an aspect of duality consciousness. We seem to need to look at a person or event and almost instantly judge it as good or bad. We need to put it in that box to set our minds at ease and to be able to make sense of it. Duality demands it. All things must be classified into these boxes of right or wrong. Take note of how many times a day that we judge things in this manner. Everything that is presented, whether its the person we see on the street, the news we hear on the media or the behaviors of the people close to us, requires us to use judgement. Instantly. How many times have you judged something as wrong that later, after getting more information, you changed your perspective to the opposite result. Judgement is a moving target. Who makes the rules? Is it society or the government or the church? Is there more than one rule book?
When I examine the practice of judgement I ask these questions. The answer I see is that every person has their own rule book. That’s too confusing for me. Is there such a thing as “normal?” We seem to love to use the “norm” as our yardstick for judging what is or isn’t. What is the norm? This confusion proves to me that judgement is an illusion. It not real. It is not definable. Too many different interpretations of normal or what is beautiful or what is ugly. There is no universal application.
Judgement is so ingrained in societal structures that it has evolved into being the main system that we defer to for guidance to ultimately decide right or wrong. Our laws and those that enforce them hold immense power over our daily lives. The government and judicial systems rewrite the rule book daily on the premise that “they” know what is truly right or wrong, good or bad and we allow them to have that power over us because of the duality consciousness that we are in. The concept of judgement does not work when the other aspects of the new earth are used.
A replacement for judgement that will be an attribute for us in the new energy of unity consciousness is the practice of discernment. It is a much easier, less confusing concept than judgement and can be applied universally to all things.
Discernment
Discernment may seem a lot like judgement but it has some important differences. When  discernment is used, the people or events that we are presented with are not judged as good or bad they just are. This stems from the knowledge of the oneness of all things and knowing that these things are created by us. Then with these understandings we choose to embrace them or not. If we discern that these things are not for us then we just leave them without the need to tag them as right or wrong, good or bad. Discernment leaves the power with us to decide rather than following a set of rules made up by others. And with that, allowing others to decide for themselves what will align with their path trusting that the outcome will be for the highest good of all.
Using discernment is the ability to see the higher purpose for events or behavior. Using the understanding that they are created to help us return to the knowing of our true selves. The ability to see God in all things and to know that we are God also. Knowing that the duality concepts are not real. That everything just “is.” Not needing to attach the vibration of good or bad to things that are presented to us. The practice of discernment in place of judgement makes life so much easier and plays a big part in the attainment of the elusive “inner peace” that so many long for.  Â
You may say that this will create chaos. There must be rules and structure or we will
destroy each other. With the new earth the attribute of discernment only works when all the aspects of the new consciousness are adopted. It is a complete change in the way we view our selves and our relationship to all things. There will be no hurting or lying or stealing. When have created this new world there will be no need for the things that we use now. No need for all the rules that we follow now. No desire to hurt another knowing that by doing so we are just hurting our selves.
Utopia? Pie in the sky? Maybe. I like to call it heaven on earth. This is where heaven is. We are creating it right now. We are really just remembering the fact that it is already created. Judging others has no place in heaven. There is no need for a rule book in heaven. The next stage of human evolution is upon us. We are raising our vibration into Christ consciousness, leaving duality consciousness and the mind set of judgement behind.Â
The Mayans say December 21 2012. I am not so convinced of specific dates. I am convinced that one by one we are waking up to these concepts and very soon we will all be enjoying life on our new planet earth…Heaven on Earth.
