Greetings! It is our pleasure to be here with you on this your day and to speak with you and remind you of what we have said about your interconnection with all of life and about the Oneness of which you are a part. We have spoken of the truth that you are all made up of the same energy. In your essence you are a part of All That Is. All that you see around yourself is also an individual expression of that same energy.
We have said that it is important for you to look out upon your world with this understanding, that you are all individual expressions of the One Energy. You are all representations of that One Energy. It is your birthright to understand and express this Love that you are. This will bring you more fully into an understanding of your own true nature and the nature of all those within your world that you are presently aware of.
It is important for you to understand to look beyond the physical forms that you see before you and then to look within your own heart and within the hearts of those around you. Acknowledge and celebrate the individual expressions of the Divine in the individuals that present themselves to you, the people you pass on the street, in whatever form they may be expressing in. This is what we meant when we have spoken of giving your love to one another. It is giving your Self, your true being or essence to all of life. It is what we meant when we said to look out upon your world through the eyes of compassion.
We say to you that you have this ability to look out and perceive your world in a compassionate way. When you understand the beauty of Divine expression you will recognize that whatever a persons’ present form and whatever their present stage of evolution and understanding may be, each individual being is an expression of the Divine.
We have spoken of all of these things before. But in order for you to demonstrate these principles in your everyday life you need to let go of your habit of judgment. Are you truly listening to what another is telling you or is your intellect coloring their words with perceptions of good or bad, right or wrong? In your communications with others it is not helpful to judge them. Instead look within as you listen to them. Discover the needs that are being expressed by that person. Seek to understand what is actually being communicated through the expression of that individual by listening to them without judgment.
To let go of judgment is to be in peace with your Self and with the world. Being judgmental is a habit that you have developed in your communications which fosters the idea of separation. But we have said to you that you are not separate. If you wish to experience the fullness of your communion with life you must seek to develop the communication skills in which you let go of your need to feel superior and your need to judge another. Remember that each expression is Divine. Each expression is on their own path of understanding and returning to the truth that they are one with the Creative Force of Life. So let go of your need to judge another as he travels along his path. Instead open yourself up to the understanding of oneness.
To do this you must begin to communicate in a way that seeks to recognize and to define what you are observing in your world without judgment and to express you own needs and feelings without condemning another. Begin to express in this way. Take responsibility for your own emotions. When you no longer blame another for your own experiences but seek to understand the expressions of those around you by listening without judgment, you then bring unity, compassion and peace into your interactions with others. You open more fully in love with your own Self and the expressions that you find around you.
We suggest that you pay attention and look at the judgments that you make as you go through your daily life. Pay attention not only to the judgments that you make of others but also the judgments that you make about yourself. Each time you find yourself judging a situation, an individual or yourself, remind yourself that your judgmental perception is an illusion. To let go of judgment you must first realize what it is that you need. What do you need to express that you are not expressing? What is this unfulfilled desire that you have that causes you to be judgmental with another? Be honest with yourself about your unexpressed desires and your unfulfilled needs. They are the underlying causes of your judgmental behavior. Many of you are not even conscious of what you need yourself or from the person that you are communicating with. Choose to recognize that need by thinking about what would be necessary to bring you back into balance. Then express this in your communication so that you can listen to another without judging what they have to say to you. Practice this self observation and see what it reveals.
You will find as you do this exercise that you have been conditioned to be judgmental not only in your communications but as a way to deal with your experience in general. It is a habit that many of you have formed or have been taught and continue to express. But if you want to demonstrate your love for one another, it is important to begin to communicate in a way that opens the free flow of energy and brings about an understanding of ways to heal and to meet the needs of yourself and of all those around you. You must begin to use a way of communicating that will bring peace and compassion to your experience and to your world.
Let us give you an example to illustrate this conditioned behavior. Two individuals choose to live together. One of them is focused on being orderly and wants to keep their environment in a neat and clean condition. The other has no concern for an orderly experience and leaves their possessions lying about and forgets to clean up after their activities. This behavior upsets the individual that has the need for order. In their usual way of communicating the orderly individual might say to the other person, “You are a dirty slob! You never clean anything up and you leave your junk everywhere! You are driving me crazy!”
This statement is a judgment, is it not? It attacks the other individual’s behavior and infers that it is inherently bad or wrong and infers that the neat person is somehow superior in their need for an orderly environment. It pushes the responsibility for this negative reaction from the person who is acting upset to the other person who is assumed to be causing them to behave in this way.
Alternatively the neat individual might choose to look within to find what need that they have that is not being met in this situation. They might choose to communicate in a way that would express their need for order to their roommate in a non-judgmental way. They might say, “I have a need for order. I like to live in a clean, orderly environment. When you leave your belongings scattered about and do not clean up after yourself, it makes me feel very uncomfortable because I am frustrated in my desire for order. Would you be willing to put your belongings away and not leave them scattered about in the space that we share and clean up after your activities in our common areas?”
This is a way of communicating that acknowledges your own needs without judgment and without demands. It acknowledges that all individuals are equal, not one better or worse, higher or lower. It shows respect for the Divine Energy that we all share in common and demonstrates our knowledge that we are all connected in the Oneness of Life.
Practice being and communicating in this way without judgment. Practice communicating with the desire to understand the needs of one another and you will let go of the patterns of communication that you have developed in the past that no longer serve you. Begin to move forward to bring peaceful understanding into your world by breathing love and understanding into your interactions with each other and all of life.
