Judgements serve no purpose. They are a core form of resistance. They are not constructive and keep us bound to the illusion of our righteousness. It keeps us from fully experiencing the wild and the vast unknown.
A judgement is a thought process in motion. A thought arises from the state of the nervous system. Our judgements reveal our internal biases. This practice is cruel as it dismisses and contains the other person's multi-dimensional experiences, limiting them to meet the external understanding of our experience of them.
Judgements can only contribute towards a divisive world. To create a harmonious world outside, we need to remove the labels that keep us from experiencing our infinite selves.
The first step is to remove our guards of righteousness. This is our step into experiencing humility - that there's so much more we don't know, than what we do. This allows us to be vulnerable and honest about our subjective experience, without imposing labels or excuses. When we start being honest about our experiences, we learn to extend compassion towards others.
A compassionate world looks like individuals making space for each others' experiences. We are here to provide one another with our presence, our empathy and our curiosity; to know each other, and belong.
Curiosity is a kind teacher. It allows us to go beyond the levels of appearances, and delve into the essence of all that exists. In a world that is communally crumbling with the weight of so many labels, conflicts, and expectations, curiosity seeks to understand the roots of the forces that drive divisive behaviours. It seeks to connect, communicate and understand.
