As I began to write a current list of goals, the kitchen timer went off for the dog food I was cooking for my Siberian husky. Stirring the rice, beef, vegetable and herb mixture, a message channeled in and knew it was vital for someone.
“How can you judge someone when you cannot experience the thoughts, emotions behind closed eyes?”
-Cindy Kochis 4-2010
One thing I trust is my intuition. It is not important if I don't know who the message is for and even why. What is important is that I don't bottle it up in fear that I might offend someone. Those that react with the greatest resistance are at the beginning stages of change (personal growth). This is meant for them. Otherwise it serves as a gentle reminder; an 'ah-ha' thing-a-ma-bopper.
The message was so strong that I stopped journalling to post it on FB. As the computer dialed for internet connection, the words “Compassion will heal ALL ills” filled and warmed my heart. To be compassionate, as used in this statement, is not about having pity on a person, however to be discerning. Remove your judgment with an open mind and heart and appreciate what you interpret the emotions they might be feeling in that moment. It is not possible for you to fully know how they feel, as our life experiences are as different as we are individual. Imagine how stress-free our lives could be if we stopped judging people and adored them for, well, them. Seriously. As you interact with people today, notice how we judge (and yes, we all do it – some to an extreme versus others) those around us or brought up in conversation. Did you feel envy or compassion, love or denial, joy or embarrassment?
Well, I think it's time for me to go back to finishing my journal entry for today. REMEMBER ~ Compassion (discernment) will heal ALL ills.
This reminds me of a video I watched in one of my classes on empathy. I really believe that what you said is very true. Not judging someone is hard but it is necessary to truly love and adore someone for being them.
