Judgement Limits

The incessant need to judge life limits it. Understanding is different than judging because it allows for the awareness of exactly what’s there instead of the thought of what’s there…

Most of what happens in life is unexplained, but that doesn’t stop the mind from judging it. I have found the unexplained is best left alone because an answer wouldn’t really make a difference. As things occur, judgements associated with existence don’t really assist it. When judging is allowed to control your life, it limits your life and becomes your master puppeteer. 

Most people are limited by the incessant need to judge. Understanding something is different than judging it because it allows for the awareness of exactly what you’re up against (your own mind). This awareness allows the mind to settle and lessen the need for judgements which aren’t truly needed. Judging addiction doesn’t stop one from being an addict, but understanding addiction may; as a matter of fact this is exactly what happened to me.

The Universe needs no judging in its process nor does the origin of our thoughts need to be judged. The understanding of how thoughts are attached to and what behaviors manifest from their attachment, is the difference between being at peace with life or struggling with it. Some will judge this and it’s their right, but I know by understanding my behavior and how it was based to self-serve, it gave me something tangible to use to lessen how much control my judgements had over me. Past tense is used on purpose because their control is much less today. Judging why this occurs doesn’t enhance the ability to be free of the Conditioned Mind, but an understanding of this certainly does. It’s through the discipline of sitting that the mind can settle enough to become aware that applying a judgement to what happens in life, will not enhance it in the way that understanding our own mind will…
