Greetings and salutations.  Today we continue in our series of reflections on the human spirit.  We begin with a seminal reminder that love from source is non-judgmental and love from source is unconditional.

When one goes into judgment, that judgment carries an energy that vibrates in alignment with that which has been judged.  Each time we make a judgment we go into that energy.  Making judgments is much like boxing or containing ourselves to a limited belief system and remaining contained in that box or belief system until we choose to be free of it by releasing it or taking on a different belief system to replace it.  There is no judgment on making judgments, however, it is valuable to be aware of how frequently we make judgments even at the most basic levels.

Discernment is different than judgment.  Discernment is the process of imputing, sorting, prioritizing & storing information in an intelligent and examined manner to properly discriminate or make determinations.  Discernment is essentially the process of  consideration and deliberation in a neutral fashion.  When one takes the process of discernment through the extra layer of forming an opinion the discernment then becomes judgment.  Observations are a form of discernment, opinions are a form of judgment.  Judgment is a function of the ego and a creation of the mind.  Judgment limits and creates separation in your mind and among people and tricks you into believing that you should place labels and values on all that you have sorted and stored, such as good or bad, like or dislike.  This process creates polarization among people based on how they have created their opinions and once we are polarized or separated from each other then we can be more easily manipulated.  In choosing neutrality we choose not to make an opinion.

Opinions or judgments are molded by the repository of information, energy and societal programs to which you have been exposed.  Creations of the ego or mind can be like offspring that we grow, cultivate and make attachments to because we have created them.  With attachments to these offspring comes the propensity to want to defend the offspring or opinions and want to “be right”.

In practicing discernment rather than judgment we can avoid attachments to our own ideas, story lines and belief systems thus making us more neutral.  In neutrality, we exhibit tolerance and allowance for others to be who they are, as we ask them to allow us to be who we are, so long as one does not impair the sovereignty of the other.

In neutrality we can hold love and compassion without judgment thus freeing ourselves from attachments to story lines that cause us stress.  In neutrality we are more at peace, we are more stable, we are more content and we can see more clearly.

It is with Gratitude and thanks that I write to you on this day.

I send you much love & light – Aurora
