Judgement Day

you be the judge

Good judgement is necessary for discernment. Without good judgement you’ll make bad decisions.

Inside of good judgement, righteous judgement is a calling for someone to be better, not from a place of casting stones, ridicule, or superiority, but from genuine care and concern.

A lot of people bury their head in the sand as a way to avoid uncomfortable situations and justify bad behavior by making claims like “who am I to judge?” or “we’re not supposed to judge.”

There is a type of judgement that is condescending and hateful, the kind where you haven’t judged your own behavior, yet put down others….then, there’s right judgement, the kind where you acknowledge something wrong instead of turning a blind eye.

Correct judgement is to expose what is unacceptable…it’s an application of the morals and values you abide by in how you judge yourself, hold yourself to that standard of behavior and maintain accountability. In this notion, it’s imperative to develop the ability to judge situations correctly, not only as a form of protection, but as a responsible and sovereign adult. Incorrect judgement is immaturity on parade via surface level insecurities and fears. Correct judgement is maturity in action via a deeper knowing of the intrinsic self and an ability to express a higher regard for others when it makes sense.

The moral degradation of society at-large, partially, has come to that place due to lack of correct and moral judgement. This has created behaviors that tolerate, condone, and justify self-harm, which in turn harms others. The woke tantrums outcry for relief from constraints of an insane world that tries to put everyone in a box and misses the mark on how to nourish the human spirit, teach responsibility nor encourage critical thinking.

People can’t cope and choose to escape the world instead of working on themselves to grow stronger within its confines.

For example, to lie to ourselves and call unhealthiness as “body positivity” is self-betrayal and denial condoned through others labeling acceptance as morally righteous, when really it’s dishonesty and people are paying the price for it through their health. While the individual is ultimately responsible for themselves, the collective laziness has become too fragile and weak to look at these instances in their own lives and, in doing so, grant approval for that which they probably don’t “actually” approve. It has nothing to do with appearances or accepting the individual as a human being where they are at and everything to do with the inversion of validating behaviors as morally upright, which are not.

You know, kind of like the mask signaling? Had to throw that in…how is covering your face 24 hours a day good judgement? How is injecting poison into your veins good judgement?... it’s not.

If we’re going to become healthier, individually and in community, we must help each other via our own accountability, responsibility, and self-discipline instead of comfortable little lies.

Correct judgement doesn’t care about what you wish were truth, what you want to be right, what feels comfortable, it is the deep inner voice that’s is far too often blocked out because the moment isn’t convenient, or embarrassing, or won’t get you any likes….it’s the rules for living in accordance with Divine law and when these aren’t held in check, anything goes, everyone is afraid to ruffle a feather or step on a toe, tolerance becomes harmful, acceptance is denial and accountability is no longer included in the conversation.

The law of attraction tells you that what you do to others you do to yourself, but if you really look at your life you’ll see this isn’t “completely” true. How many times have you done the right thing only to be outcast, chastised, blamed for speaking up? The thing is, this also offers up inner peace for not sitting idly by while evil, or debauchery, or even simple wrongs of ill intent, poor behavior or manipulative intentions play out….and this goes for ourselves, too.

Good judgement is not a victimhood get out of jail free card NOR an invitation to play the blame game.

Each of us are making judgement calls constantly all day every day. A small judgement is often framed inside a choice such as, do I wear this or that, do I have coffee or tea? Why? What are the consequences? Good judgement might mean you choose to wear what is comfortable yet representative of being respectful to the days events….bad judgment might mean wearing the uncomfortable shoes for surface level appearances only to come home with blisters…good judgement might mean choosing the shoes that you know are best for your health over what gives a brief moment of validation, appearances, or pleasure? As you go about your day you are constantly judging what you like, don’t like, what is ethically correct and moral, what feels in resonance and making choices from that place.

A more serious judgement may be observing or experiencing hurtful behavior and assessing if you are ok with that or not and if you’re willing to speak up, it’s an examination of consequences with the intention of right action on a continuum of real time.

When we use good judgement, we make aligned choices for ourselves. When we make bad judgements, we may veer off path or have a lesson to learn, a pattern to unwind.

To judge others without looking in the mirror at our own actions also equates to an unfair assessment, more of a casting of judgement than acknowledging wrongdoings from multiple angles. After all, most of us have times of great neglect of our own internal compass, hence not practicing what we preach.

That being said, when you have direct observation, when someone shows you who they are through their actions and deeds, there is a time and place for judgement and that has never been more obvious, nor warranted, than in these times.

In case you haven’t noticed, we’re living in a mad world and people often make choices out of sheer exhaustion and/or ignorance. Inside of that a majority also virtue signal these choices as righteous. I support individuals making choices they feel are best for them if it’s not pushed on me, but there is no doubt we are in a real pandemic of very poor judgement.

If you blindly follow what someone says (such as a suggestion to poison yourself with a certain jab) then you might be lacking in critical thinking…and judgement skills.

So, what is judgement and why has it been sold to us as something we should abandon? To find the answer to that, ask yourself, who benefits from me not using judgement?

With basic logic, one can surmise that the ideology of not using judgement ultimately benefits those who want to keep people imbued within the collective hive-mind, fearful of the cancel culture mob mentality that prevents anyone who dissents from speaking up, speaking out, or speaking truth. In addition, if one doesn’t believe we each face a Judgment Day upon death and/or there’s a next time in reincarnation, then one is likely to throw courage down the drain and refrain, bite their tongue, while existing in this physical realm claiming tolerance but really supporting things that are an abomination to all that is good and natural.

It seems to me, now is the best time and place for working in accordance with the natural world for restoring a more harmonious way of being together on this plane.

Our individual actions can work towards bringing order and not feeding the collective chaos.

In its right place and context, good judgement is a skill learned, like discernment, and our subconscious is bringing things to our subtle awareness to aid us in making prompt decisions through assessing each moment as a built-in mechanism for bridging inner vision and the outer world.

Sound judgement based on self-awareness, in conjunction with discernment (and, if you are like me, learning from a lot of bad judgements and decisions, oh vey), is a healthy practice. To judge others as if you are perfect is unhealthy, but to call out bullshit, such as lying or manipulation, and stand up for your unalienable rights is an appropriate reason to practice the exercise of good judgement.

Perhaps we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in currently as a society if we all had made better judgements in our own lives. When we know better, we do better.

Don’t let embarrassment stop you from making a fool out of yourself when you find yourself in a situation that is suited for standing up, standing out, or walking away.

Let us wait not for judgement in the afterlife, but, act now, learn from our choices, speak out, and grow wiser day by day.

Telling others not to judge is judgement.

Sitting behind a screen yelling at others you don’t agree with isn’t going to change the world.

Judgement is a tool inside of decision making and should not be confused with projection nor excused when disguised as false assumption.

Wise judgement is focusing on the behavior or the topic to find remedy or correct wrong action, NOT an excuse to belittle, slander, or cast stones.

Living with a devotion to truth and righteousness means setting standards and a moral framework with which to abide. Thus, good judgement must be developed and encompassed inside an authentic and sovereign mindset. Holding ourselves to this framework in self judgement helps us learn to make correct judgements outwardly. It’s also important not to become so rigid and self-righteous that you think you are better than others, are Holier than though or have reached a perfected state of being. Good judgement encompasses the humility and imperfectness of being human, to exclude that is bad judgement.

Correct judgement is an art form. It’s a delicate balance between hearing the nuance of inner warning sirens or the ringing bell that denotes a person or situation is good to go…it’s an arm of discernment that helps us know whether to go or stop.

It's not about judging if you like someone’s outfit, but instead if their intent and behavior are congruent…and please don’t take this to mean we should walk around in a constant state of judgement, that’s not the point.

This also doesn’t mean appearances don’t matter, they do. The deeper you get to know yourself, the easier it is to recognize when someone is masking, hiding something, or signaling an aspect that is inauthentic…we all are a work in progress. There are many things we don’t know we don’t know. This is why honesty and judgement matter. We shouldn’t walk around making blanket outer judgements towards people that don’t ask for our opinion …but we must also learn when situations are appropriate to stay quiet versus when to speak up.

We all make bad judgements, but it’s not learning from them that get us in trouble. When we learn from our mistakes, we can apply the knowledge of the situation going forward so that we do not get stuck in vicious patterns of self-sabotage and people pleasing.

Leave those frivolous snarky judgements to be worked out through your internal dialogue.

Let the clear and decisive knowing guide you towards correct judgement and assessments so that you can act quickly when needed and not waste time on people, places, or things that are not in accordance with your values and the path you’re walking.

We must not forget that every one of us has an internal compass of right doing and wrong doing…have we forgotten how to access this individually and as a collective? Has the compass been turned to face the wrong direction? Can you find your north star? Can you stand firm in your center without wavering to the temptations and madness of societal conditioning? Are you willing to be the judge of you own wrongdoings and work to make them right?

This or that, left or right, finding centeredness is not about picking sides, but being able to judge correctly from where you stand, including your own biases.

May your judgement be correct and your discernment lit.
