Out of Judgment

God said:

Think of Me as God on Earth. Think of Me as God on Earth more than you think of Me as God in Heaven. Wherever I am is Heaven. Wherever you are is Heaven as well, if you only but knew. What if I were to tell you that the only Reality is Heaven? All else is false. All else is folly.

You were put on Earth to find Heaven. That is your simple task. Don't make it hard. Make it easy.

First, release judgment as a concept. All that you judge comes to pass in your own life. Judging is a kind of marriage. Your sneering is an invitation to that which you judge. It is as if you say:

"I choose you, that which I disdain. I may disdain you, but in so doing, I mark you as mine. I put a check mark on you that says you are mine and we will meet again. You will come back to me. You will enter my life until I discharge that which I have kept. What I have kept is my judgment. You will come back to me in my life to help me release my judgment. I judged the holder of you, and that is how I made you mine. I judged the holder of you for having you, and you will find me in order to displace my judgment. Judgment is a kind of sinking low. I may think it raises me, but I am pushing another down. In order to do so, I go down with him.

"I will have no judgments left. How much can I see when I am filled with judgment? How long can I hold on to my judgments? How soon will I erase my judgments and replace them with the neutrality of naturalness?

"I keep judging things. I categorize. I say, 'This is good and that bad.' And so I mark a line between Heaven and Earth. I divide them in my mind. I push away and I pull. But that which I push away finds me later.

"Must I become wise before I can be simple? Is wisdom merely the unlearning of previous ways of looking until I have no way of looking but only innocence? Is God the most innocent of all?

"Somewhere beneath all my judgment lies innocence. I dig for it.

"I have called God a judger and held Him in judgment. When I allow God to be the Friend and Lover of mankind that He is, then perhaps I too will be without judgment.

"I do not need to settle scores. I do not need to make things right. I need to just be, and being has no judgment.

"Judging assumes certain things, or it would not judge. It is those assumptions I must let go of. It is my past thinking I must let go of. My past thoughts have been judgments. I long to be relieved of the past!

"But judgments are passing things, and they have outlived their usefulness. Their usefulness was to teach me, not another.

"Now I teach myself God. I kneel before You so that I may see. I kneel before You so that I may receive. I kneel before You so that I may do honor to Your creation.

"How could I have been so ungrateful for what You have created?

"You gave to me without thought of judgment. You never judged me. You never found me wanting. You blessed me.

"Perhaps blessings are an expression of nonjudgment, and that is how You are such a Blessor and Blessing.

"When did judgment come so much into play? I do not remember when I donned the robes of judges, but I remove them now. Neither judged nor judger do I wish to be.

"I wish to be farseeing like You, God. I don't want my narrowness any longer. It constricts me. I want to be free like You. I want to free others from my chains of judgment. My judgments are my constraints, and so now I free myself from them. I have been chained to my judgments, and now I take them off and put them down. I am a wayfarer and not a judger.

"That which I consumed has consumed me. And now I ask for Your blessing as I venture on a judgeless path."

And I show you the way. As in all things, I show you the way. Come with Me.

This is good and that bad

It's true, we stubbornly keep pointing out what's wrong with the world and ourselves, and in so doing – some more, some less –, we refuse to allow this wonderful earth to be Heaven. We say yes yes to what we read in Heavenletters, but when it comes to "so on Earth", we dig in our heels. Obviously, that's where God is a little off the mark, a little naïve. When have You last looked around, God?

But even this has to be all right and good for something. It's good to at least know we don't see this as paradise. Knowing it makes us want it more urgently, or at least makes us aware of the beliefs we have: Do I believe it's possible that this could be Heaven? Is Paradise far away and in the distant future? Could it be I'm there already, just not seeing or not wanting to acknowledge it? Could it be the search is over and I haven't noticed? The point is, God says so. Who, do I think, is right? Who do I hope is right?

Think of Me as God on Earth. Think of Me as God on Earth more than you think of Me as God in Heaven. Wherever I am is Heaven. Wherever you are is Heaven as well, if you only but knew. What if I were to tell you that the only Reality is Heaven? All else is false. All else is folly.

What to do with this? I do love Heavenletters, and I'm not ego's slave all the time, so whenever I can, I let my heart fly out to these words. The suspicion that they are true, that the question of "heavenly" and "mundane" is only one of my perspective, is getting stronger.

And this is true, there is no way around it: Judging is a kind of marriage. Time for divorce. Time to "dig for innocence".

Oh, I'm so tired of my world view, my view of humanity, my view of myself, my view of Heaven and Earth – my views about the world that see crisis, not Heaven, terror, not Heaven, meanness, not Heaven, problems, not Heaven; so tired of all that ties me down to what, of all things, is called reason!

Oh yes, a wayfarer, that's the job I want. Out of the museum. Out of heaps of fossil thinking.

And I show you the way. As in all things, I show you the way. Come with Me.

"Come with Me"

Look at the title you gave to your comment. We keep judging our judging.
How can we divorce from a partner we do not like any more? I know no ways while I see myself falling and falling again in the same patterns. Is the desire for a divorce enough to have it, sooner or later? I hope so, I want to perceive only Heaven, only the Real.

The title, lovely one, is a quotation from this letter, expressing exactly the opposite of judgment.

But what can I answer? Regardless of the nature of the apparent problem, perceiving "only Heaven, only the Real", is what comes first, before anything we imagine to be "the solution".

Easy for me to say that? No and, er, yes.

But the next time I come moaning, say something that's easy for you to say, will you?

I see, it is a quotation (

I see, it is a quotation ( "the opposite of judgment"?).
What I meant is that we are always judging our thinking ( "we stubbornly keep pointing out what's wrong with the world... But even this has to be all right and good for something", maybe I am wrong in my understanding of your words).
We judge the world and we judge how we look at it. We judge what we see and we judge ourselves for seeing what we see. It is a vicious circle that I find hard to stop.
Maybe we need sight: "I wish to be farseeing like You, God. I don't want my narrowness any longer. It constricts me", it costricts me to judgment. Judgment comes from ignorance and we are immersed in both.
It is not always easy for me to clearly say what I have say, especially in english, but I hope it is easy enough for you to understand...nevertheless.

Haha, yes, you are right,

Haha, yes, you are right, now I do not understand you any more. But let us simply not mind, okay? The thing I do understand, and where you are absolutely right, is that desiring the desirable is the only thing that counts. Lightly, not imploringly, not wringing our hands or clutching our chest as if someone out there was the giver and withholder. It's you.

Words get tangled: "ignorance" is a judgment, even "judgment" is a judgment. It can be fun. But that fun exhausts itself as it has with you. Then what? We make some thoroughly intelligent blabla, we understand or we don't, we grumble or laugh – and every once in a while something does penetrate, even words. We feel "vicious circle", we feel trapped, we want out!!! I can only say, Emilia, that when the urgency starts letting up a little, more things become possible, more ease, more confidence.

Dear God, I want Your ease, I want Your silence, Your happines. Help me forget this suffocating illusion of having to qualify for those.

a "suffocating illusion"

Let's not mind, okay, but I do not know if it is wise from me. You are not the only one to find it hard to understand what I say. And I start having some problem too.
Loving you.

understand

I would guess that, overall, I understand 95%. Conservative guess.
