Judging Others Is Counterproductive.
As spiritual practitioners, we cannot aspire to love the whole world and at the same time be judgemental. Judgement creates division, an ‘us and them’ of those we approve of and those we don’t. By befriending even those who are widely reviled in society, we may bring a blessing into their lives that helps them to progress towards the light.
We who know of God’s divine love are deeply blessed by this love and the presence of God’s angels in our lives. We need to have compassion for those who are filled with negativity and who may have a long path of suffering in front of them before they start turning towards the light. Truly, it has been said that ‘they know not what they do’ because everyone wants happiness and none would choose a path leading to intense suffering if they were aware in advance of the consequences of their choices.
When we indulge in negativity, we attract dark spirits to us who delight in reinforcing those inclinations. So even after we start walking the divine path, we must be vigilant and resist all temptation to express ourselves in negative ways, otherwise our own light will be dimmed and we will delay our own spiritual awakening. While God is giving us the transformative power of divine love, our role is to avoid giving our power to negativity in any form.
