I’ve heard people say this or live by this mantra… “Only God can judge me.” As if the mantra is an empowerment, freeing them from judgment. But really the mantra feels more like an impotent declaration… “Don’t judge me. I don’t permit you to judge me. I don’t accept it”, but it’s still giving the judgment power, entrapped by its paradigm, operating within its status quo, trying to escape the judgment with the mantra but not really knowing the secret to transcending it.
Judgment is a fixed mindset, locking us into conformity and assimilation. Judgment is separation. Don’t accept that judgment is the status quo, that it’s the default function by how all things operate. If your mindset is fixed with judgment as the status quo, you’ve locked yourself to its conformity and operate within its constraints. You are not free from judgment. So what if it isn’t about judgment, being judged by others, or being judged by God. The secret, the only thing that can transcend judgment is love.
