“What’s the Point of Calling Me . . .

Using this gavel can harm you in ways you’ll never expect.

…a great teacher, if you don’t apply what I AM teaching you?” This particular teacher said, “Don’t judge if you don’t want to be judged.”

What’s the point of putting quotation marks around what he said and extolling his virtues if I continue to judge? He also told a story that rather graphically illustrates that there is no point whatsoever.

If I will admit that I’m guilty of judging – and that I want to stop judging so that I’m not in danger of being judged, I’ve just taken the first step to getting free from judging and being judged.

Okay, Great Teacher, I’ve taken the first step, what’s next?

_______

How do I not judge, isn’t it built in?

What I’m about to share are the answers I received, if you haven’t taken the first step, there is no point in reading any further. If you do freely admit that you continually come to conclusions and judgment about others and many things in life and would like to rid yourself of the habit, what I’ve been shown for me, may be a help. Otherwise, what is the point of reading any further?

A word of caution is in order, the first step is quite difficult for many, the reason being that human beings are in such a habit of judging all sorts of things and other people that it is difficult to become aware of how deeply we are enmeshed in the habit; the next steps are relatively easy, except for one major hurdle – we’ve been programmed by parents, teachers and others to judge and we have to acquire the habit of thinking in a whole new way.

Ask…nothing else will be necessary.

The first clue as to how I received the answers I needed for me, is to ask the one who said, not to judge. Therefore, rather than read any further, the first suggestion I offer is that, if you take the words and the one who said not to judge seriously, then go directly to him right now and ask. You might want to pose the question in this way, “Should I read any further or do you have a better way for me?”

To help you facilitate getting your answer directly from the source, I’ll write no further unless you request what comes next. Bear in mind I’m just now learning and experiencing a lot of excitement and joy in the process, but again, the lessons are for me. I’d love to share them with you, but what’s the point if there is a better way for you and you get it directly from the same one who gave the answers to me?

That’s it for now, I’d love to hear about your experiences and/or share my own, but that’s up to you . . .
