Question of the Day 7/20/09:
Is it better to not judge anything that happens in your life?
- Traci Toguchi

This is a subject matter that I've raised in recent conversations as I have been wanting to not make negative judgments on occurrences in which I would normally deem as such.

I've done my fair share of experimenting, making efforts to live with non-judgment since 1998 (see how much its working?) ;) and several of my favorite authors wrote about this (both whom Ive had the honor to meet IRL!).

I was first introduced to the concept of non-judgment by Dr. Gerald Jampolsky in his book Love Is Letting Go of Fear. One chapter is called I Will Judge Nothing that Occurs, while other chapters discuss related topics that support this concept.

Day 39 of Dr. John Demartini's You Can Have An Amazing Life in Just 60 Days features the Law of Equilibrium.

He says, no matter what happens, it will always even out, for all events come in pairs of opposites. You dont and cant cause or prevent this; it simply is: praise and reprimand, peace and war, positive and negative, support and challenge, attraction and repulsion.

You're not here to get elated, depressed, proud, humiliated, manic, infatuated, or resentful. Instead, its your purpose to live in equilibrium and be poised, gracious, loving, and grateful for life.

Some could say if the former were the case, then feeling gratitude is unequal. Perhaps. Although...

Dr. Demartini says the Law of Equilibrium is another expression of the Law of Gratitude. The million dollar question is how can we be grateful when life is sucking (in the most non-judgmental way, that is)? ;)

I guess its about getting outside of ourselves and our limiting beliefs, and getting out there and living with thanks because the fact that we can is more than reason enough.


What do you think and/or feel?

Do you find it is better not to judge anything that happens in your life?

Why or why not?

traci theres this awesome book that talks about love and judgements... you can better understand my concept if you read this book its called mastery of love by miguel ruiz this book moves me to tears! i think you would love it.

@sokarazie Totally love that book! The first story always gets me. :) Another fave of mine is Small Miracles. All true stories. There are several that always get to me: the one about the son and father, and the little boy who'd throw an apple over the fence in the German concentration camp (people in that story were featured on Oprah).

as much as i think judgement is a negitive thing ... I'm human and i can't help but make judgements on things that don't work for me.

[tracitoguchiinc]

@sokarazie Yes, that's wise. As I responded to @izzyjb, perhaps that would be considered discernment?

[izzyjb]

hmmm, isnt this question asking for a judgement itself? Judgement is a part of life. Without it you might as well be a rock. It may be more of a question of what scale you judge upon and what you do with your judgement.

[tracitoguchiinc]

@izzyjb lol Good point. :) What about discernment as opposed to judgment?
