Morning Motivation: Beyond Human Judgment

One of the common lessons found in all spiritual Teachings is the idea that reality is far richer and deeper than human conceptions of good and bad, right and wrong. We as a society spend a lot of time passing judgments on people: Carrie Prejean, Father Alberto Cutie, Britney Spears, John Edwards -- the list goes on and on. Any harsh judgment of another person is meaningless! Unless we simply see the Divine within other people, all we do is project our own ego and past experiences onto everyone else around us, which doesn’t mean anything at all. This means that other people’s judgments of you are meaningless, too! You are Light. You are Love. You are a Child of God. Whether people see that is a reflection of them, not a reflection of you. A Course in Miracles tells us:

You need not fear the Higher Court will condemn you. It will merely dismiss the case against you. There can be no case against a child of God, and every witness to guilt in God’s creations is bearing false witness to God Himself. Appeal everything you believe gladly to God’s Own Higher Court, because it speaks for Him and therefore speaks truly. It will dismiss the case against you, however carefully you have built it up. The case may be fool-proof, but it is not God-proof. The Holy Spirit will not hear it, because He can only witness truly. His verdict will always be “Thine is the Kingdom,” because He was given to you to remind you of what you are.

May you walk today with your head held high, knowing that any judgments against you have already been dismissed by the Higher Court of the Divine! To read other motivational and inspirational thoughts throughout the day, follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/DrDebBrown
