Healing the Judgment Habit

There is an important distinction between discerning and judging and author Jennifer Hadley offers to expose it

Hadley relates the roots of our habit of judging, among others, to what she calls "old" or "traditional" belief systems:

"Many things in life seem painful, horrible, destructive – even evil. Yet if we live in a universe of oneness and divine order, there must be a spiritual purpose to everything, regardless of whether [or not] we see it. [Ernest] Holmes taught that evil is: 'that which appears destructive. And we all know that appearances are deceiving.'

When[ever] I’m willing to give up my opinion, I’ll finally have a chance of seeing divine order… Each time I demonstrate [this] willingness, I become lighter."
Jennifer Hadley

Final words: When I let go of who I am, I become who I might be   Lao Tze
