"OUT OF THE DARKNESS" POST 100

In a spiritual context, judgment refers to a divine evaluation of a person's deeds that lead to consequences after their life ends, carried over into their next life or consequences within a spiritual rebirth commonly referred to as karma.  I never really believed that karma was a real thing, but once I went through my initial awakening, I learned very quickly that our divine universe does most certainly hand out karma for every decision, every choice we make, whether good or bad.  No one escapes it. Spiritual decernment is akin to

spiritual judgment as it is the ability to decern and understand the true nature of our reality; separating truth from falsehood, and recognizing the divine within oneself and others.  Discernment is a process of self-reflection, introspection and understanding the consequences of one's actions.  

A judgmental person is one with 

a tendency to form opinions without having all the information or understanding of a situation.  This can lead to projecting insecurities onto others.  No matter how you look at it,  it can form walls of separation between people because of the trauma.  The person on the receiving end of an attack on their character,  they can either react and lash out with anger or they can act in a more Godly manner and walk away with their head held high.  You see, there will always be people that make it their goal in life to make everyone else miserable.  They go out of their way and talk their talk and spread their rumors.  The reason for it at its core, is they could be jealous of that other person for some reason or have been hurt over something.  It is very true that hurt people hurt other people.  They are likely to express negative opinions of others focusing on their flaws and imperfections.  Their judgment is always rooted in their own insecurities or beliefs rather than a genuine understanding of the situation.  I learned a long time ago, never take something as truth when it has come from the mouth of others.  If you want to know something, go straight to the source.  Judgmental individuals struggle to see something from a different perspective or understand the reasons behind someone else's actions.  

Assumptions can cause great difficulty.  Assumptions such as considering a person lazy because they were late to work, when they may have had some kind of emergency come up, or quickly judging someone's character based maybe on a single incident without understanding the full context.  Some people lack empathy for others and just rush to judgment.  When decernment turns mean, it is toxic, whether the victim or the perpetrator.  Learn more about cultivating a mindset to reduce judgment and increase compassion.  Distinguish between judging actions and judging people.  There is nothing wrong with judging actions.  That is why there are judges sitting in a courtroom; they are judging actions.  Never be judgy of the person.  A judge has to distinguish between the two.  A judge is supposed to bring clarity of thought about a situation without using judginess against the person themselves. Stop and think about any person who you may be judging for an action.  We all come with our histories and baggage.  We all live with some degree of hurt, denial, anger and hypocrisy.  

We are all imperfect.

God's blessings be upon you,
