Dear Ones,
When you think of other people, are you ‘thinking’ with your mind or are you reaching out to them with your heart? When you have a ‘thought’ of another person you are actually reaching out, energetically, to them across the distance between you, whether that is across the room or across the ocean. You might even be thinking of someone who has crossed over to The Other Side and you can connect with them through the veil.
Knowing that your thoughts are creating energy connections, why would you ever think ill of someone else? How many people seem to believe that their job on Planet Earth is to be the judge of other people! We want you to think about that – is it REALLY your job to judge others? When you have looked for guidance about your Life Purpose, is the answer ever really ‘to be the judge of everyone else’?
What if your true job were to love everyone else? We’re not saying here that you must LIKE every person that you meet or hear about. But what if you were to hold them in the energy of Love so that they might have the best chance to make the most of their own life, free of judgment from you? This is a spiritual practice that is worth cultivating.
Many will tell you that you must learn to separate the person from the act or behavior, and this is true, for good people sometimes make choices that you might wish they had not. But instead of judging a person for that choice, what if you were to hold them in the idea of love, that perhaps they have learned from that choice and would not make the same one in the future? Could you find a more compassionate space in your heart-mind then?
People around you are judging all the time. They often think that it is their job to judge YOU. What do you want them to use for criteria? Is there any part of you that likes the idea of their judging you from their [limited!] perspective? No one person knows everything that is going on in another person’s life, no matter how close they are with each other. No one knows all the thoughts that go through another person’s head before he or she acts or chooses a particular behavior. No one else knows what you were thinking when you made a decision. Why do you suppose that you can understand enough about another person to make a judgment about them?
Try giving yourself a vacation from being The Judge. See what happens when you catch yourself about to say something judgmental about another person. Reach for the compassionate thing to say instead and see how you feel.
Expressing compassion for another is not only the wise choice to make, it also brings a benefit to you. The energy of judgment is narrow and constricting. The energy of compassion is expansive. What kind of energy do you want to have at work in your body and spirit when you have a choice? Choose compassion.
And remember that what you put out into the world is the energy of what you attract to yourself. If you reach out with compassion to others you will receive that expansive energy of compassion back into your own energy field.
Ahhhhh, doesn’t that feel better?
And so it is.
