Spiritual Awakening: Judge Thee Lest The Be Judged!!!
As part of the spiritual awakening process it is imperative to remove judgment and detach from situations so that you can make the mind, body, soul connection. It is important to leave the EGO at the door and to allow things to flow as GOD has a master plan for you. It is when we judge that we miss out on what can be a great interaction or experience. How many times have you made a decision based on your pre judgment only to find out that you missed out on a personal and professional growth experience? How many times have you forgot everything and ran because you pre judged the experience instead of committing to the experience and facing everything and rising.? How many times have you looked passed someone and lost out on an opportunity to be lifted because your EGO got in the way? Judgment is perhaps the biggest obstacle to becoming awake and aware. When you remove judgment and begin to interact with people you will see amazing thing happen.
Spiritual Awakening: Judge Thee Lest Thee Be Judged- Case Studies!!!
I was recently at my local Starbucks and a gentleman walked in and he was very unkempt, he was walking around asking for money. I told him I wouldn’t give him money but I would buy him a bagel. I bought him the bagel and asked him to sit down and we talked for a while I found out that he had worked most of his life and due to some circumstances beyond his control he was left in a financially challenging situation. I gave him some pointers and I hope he acted upon my advice. I thought what If I would have looked at him as a beggar and a loser and not a human being who could be made whole with a bit of guidance and support. Ask yourself how many times you are judging people? Then do your best to remove this judgment from your being. In peeling back the onion and getting to know people you begin to remove judgment and as a result your personal and professional life is enhanced. In today’s world so many people miss out because they are so busy passing judgment that they never experience to joy or interaction.
I have always been drawn to water. Yes that is me 3rd from the left in the front row, when I swam competitively in high school. In my 3 years on the team I had to find ways to recreate myself in order to compete. I wanted to do short course and I had a great quick arm turnover, however GOD wanted me to be a distance swimmer and I changed to do the 500 yard free style and the 1650 yard freestyle. As I change and adapted I got better and better. During training when I was in the water there was a sense of peace that came over me as I started to understand the importance of making the mind, body, soul connection. As a competitive swimmer one had to be disciplined in everything they did from nutrition to practice schedules and of course the academics. On top of it all I had a part time job. I managed as I began to understand that you can do everything you desire if you plan your work and work your plan. I did not know this at the time but this was the start of creating that oneness consciousness with GOD and the beginning of understanding that GOD will provide. I stopped swimming competitively after my sophomore year of college as I realized that GOD had some other plans for me and thus began another re-creation period.
