non-judgemental

At our core, at our centre, there is the enlightened consciousness. And in this space of consciousness, there is no good and no bad. Everything is as it is.

Ordinarily, the thinking mind is judgemental. Almost everything is categorised either as good or bad. And these judgements are fundamental to our anguish. When we are experiencing something as bad we are unhappy. And, of course, when we are experiencing something as good, we know a happiness. But this happiness is of a dualistic nature. It can only come in measure proportionate to the unhappiness we feel with bad things.

This judgemental process is only of value when we feel we have choice. We can choose the good and reject the bad. That is how the immature mind behaves. And yet, we are not really in control and ultimately we have no free choice. And when we finally dare to step outside that comfortable space of control and choice, we find that they were but illusions and a cage that we had built around ourself.

Relaxing into the choiceless consciousness, good and bad have no utility, and the judgemental mind melts away. And with that liberation from judging: from judging things, from judging people, from judging ourself; with the liberation from that judgemental attitude, our anguish also melts away. For when things are not felt as good or bad, where can there be a problem? This is freedom; freedom from anguish, which comes through freedom from one’s own judgemental mind. And in this non-judgemental mode, one can truly enjoy all that is. And one can relax. Life becomes effortless. And all becomes beautiful.

So, forget your judgements. Forget that whole way of being. For whilst you are judging other things you are sure to be judging yourself and you will find yourself lacking. When, in truth, you are not lacking, for your essence is the whole of existence, whole. But this can only be seen and felt, this can only become your life, when the mind has become non-judgemental.
