Your causes, beliefs, and life principles have far more power when your life reflects them at all times and in all places. How easy it is to put on display disdain for the “other” and return to safety and comfort at the end of a good demonstration. Do you see? You cannot say your cause matters when its propagation reviles the very reason it became a cause. Hate, fear, violence, and exclusion, to bring about one, will not replace those who love the other. Appeasement is not acceptance; it is fear. Love finds its way through fear; it is the only thing that can.
Love in your heart lives love. Always, without exception or equivocation.

Your point of view is your tyranny; thus, it is your point of distraction. That is, you’re right, and everybody else is wrong, separates you from the whole to which you belong. No Point of view is worth the divide between brother and sister, especially if it comes with anger and unkindness. Things like love, compassion, kindness, joy, mercy, and grace are innate in each of us, but they only surface when we are free from the distractions of right and wrong. So, stop the game of being right or wrong.
Let the “innate” that already is your nature be your only face. Such a face repels no one.

Your judgments are the evidence your mind develops to separate you from the world and others. It is a colossal refusal to know yourself and reality. If others or the world, in general, offend you, you are in denial of the nightmare that rages within yourself. Until you awaken from that “outward-looking,” your fitful dreaming will prevent you from ever seeing what YOU are.
Your awakening is not a change in the world or in what you perceive as wrong or right. It is your reunion with it and the joyful realization that YOU are not a dream but the Creator of those who do. Reunite, and there is your love, your reality, and eternal peace.

Truth gets swept into the unimportant and the unnecessary, and you hold the broom that so masterfully does the sweeping. The clear view is not beholden to thought; the only thing needing sweeping is what you believe. Clear your mind, and the house is without the need for sweeping.

If all that is is spiritual (and it is), then any position you take, belief you hold, and judgments you make are no more spiritual than others you disparage. Spirituality has nothing to do with your sense of right but everything to do with your sense of wrong. That is, loving the wrong you compare to your right.
Love and spirituality know no opposites. Do you?

How much do you really know? How much can you know? The paradox of human affairs is that we “think” we’re pretty smart and make well-informed decisions and assessments when, in reality, we never have enough data. All judgments are speculative at best and always based on insufficient information.
Question your thoughts as incessantly as they permeate your mind. You may not be able to stop them, but you may get an ever so slight chance to withhold ill-advised judgments and unnecessary complications in your dealings with others.

Regardless of its causes, purity, spiritual basis, etc., collectives are an assemblage of the weak, the unsure, and certainly those too full of doubt and fear to act courageously without a crowd. Collectives are a harbor of sunken ships.
Creators, in all their manifestations, are solitary, courageous, quietly rising in the face of all weakness. They are the lighthouses seen from afar, creating safe harbors.
Check your “crowd” affiliations; they reflect your weakness, and they’re not making you any more robust than you are on your own. What YOU are, only when away from the crowd, stands solitary, sturdy, even in the fiercest storms.

You can’t fix anyone you judge needs fixing, but you can fix yourself from all attempts to “fix” others. What you define as broken exposes your brokenness, not theirs. Kindness is not a shrug of the shoulders and a sigh of disdain. It emanates from a heart that embraces all of life’s nuance and variations and smiles at the pleasure of intermingling, without judgment, those who are not like you. In other words, you should be smiling a lot!

“Why callest thou me good,” said Jesus to his disciples. Even the “good” you attribute to your nature or the nature of others is an identity only humans formulate. Do you see? No one is good, and no one is bad. Identifying with any trait, attribute, characteristic, etc., that makes you unique only keeps you from knowing anything else that makes all of humanity the immense spectacle it is. And it is a spectacle whose colors reach into eternity!
Unless you see without seeing that “good” is different from what you identify as bad, your experience is destined to be shallow, full of division and judgment, and, effectively, unreal. Who does that? Sadly, we all do. Give up all your identifications, and you will discover “humanity.” It won’t be good or bad, but it will be spectacular.

The time to stop judging is when you feel most like doing so, which is all the time for most humans. Judging doesn’t put someone else in a corner; it just puts you more firmly in your own. Do you see?
You make the separation from others for little more than inane reasons that reflect learning, beliefs, prejudices, and various other follies humans wrap themselves up in. All at the cost of the innate characteristic everyone possesses to love “life.” That is life, which is all-inclusive of everything and everyone regardless of how you see things, e.g., every cause or belief you hold that takes you from your innate nature to love, including yourself.
In simple terms, you cannot judge and love. Not wholly and purely. It’s not the age-old narrative that you are judged as you judge others. No, it’s that your love drains from you when you do. Oh, and don’t condescend either, with the infamous diatribe that “they (whomever you judge) aren’t at your level of spirituality, education, or maturity. That’s just a sneaky form of judgment as well. All that’s left, really is “don’t judge,” ever!
