Today I will judge nothing that occurs.
This is a great lesson for me as there have been many “disappointments” in the past month. A lot of things turned out differently than I imagined/hoped they would.
I’m being honest, which is what today’s lesson requires: honesty.
“I will be honest with myself today. I will not think that I already know what must remain beyond my present grasp.”
Don’t feel sorry for me. Just do the lesson for yourself. Be honest. Realize that you don’t know anything – that it is impossible to see the whole picture from the little fragmented bits – and that there is a larger plan occurring here. Judge nothing that occurs.
For those of you reading this blog for any length of time, you know one thing: I’m in the same boat as you. I’m not any different and we’re going through the same things together. That’s the perfection. I’m literally walking the same path as you – with chaotic things coming at me from seemingly out of nowhere – and yet, I’ve been given a systematic way to change my mind and see everything differently.
So I’m not preaching up on high because I’m taking the journey with you. I’m on the path – there’s still miles to go – and I refuse to slow down to get up on a soap box to describe the terrain I’ve already traveled. What a waste of time. I prefer to let the past go and keep going forward to the finish line.
I desire only to see the NEWNESS of every day.
This blog is more like a traveler’s notebook, where I document the interesting points (in the terrain of my mind) for my own amusement and enjoyment.
So today I recognize that I do not know the whole big picture. Judgment becomes impossible. I don’t know why things fall apart, shift and change. I don’t know why people come and go. I don’t know why my direction suddenly changes. I don’t know. But God knows. He knows the Plan.
I’m not going to hold onto anything – or try to rearrange anything – because that would only be my own interference – me trying to control how I think things should occur. Trying to rearrange events is an attempt to stay in the same spot in the journey and not move ahead. Trying to get other people to do what you want them to do is manipulation to stay in time and space. It’s a delay tactic, an attempt to control how you think things should go … rather than simply letting God show you where you need to go.
Be honest. Are you trying to manipulate people, events, situations? OR are you waking up to a brand new day every day, aware that you have a Guide Who shows you where to go. Forget about other people. This is only about you. If something is not working, let it go. Don’t try to force anything to work. God’s got the map, and He knows the way. Judge nothing that occurs.
Let go, and let God.
God is putting down signposts for me. He’s nudging me forward. He’s leading me to the new places I need to go. Sometimes I’m journeying down the wrong path or heading in the opposite direction – and there is a disruption to set me back on the correct path. Knowing this, how can I judge anything???
I can only rejoice that I have a Guide Who knows the way, and who is leading me.
It means I remain in a state of acceptance and wonder, no matter what occurs.
If you’ve ever taken a long-distance car trip, or a journey through nature, you know that you are a passenger observing the scenery. You watch things as they go by. Sometimes you see a horrible car wreck or a dead deer all blood and guts, but you don’t stop to analyze it. You just keep going. The thought might linger in your mind but you say to yourself “oh well, these things happen.” You don’t try to fix it. You don’t try to go back and make it right again. You just keep going forward on the way to your destination.
You might even be one of those people who does stop to help, but then you quickly get back on your way again. You don’t camp out there … wondering the whys and the hows.
And so it should be with events in your life. Just keep going. Don’t judge. These things happen. Don’t try to fix it. Just keep heading towards your destination. It’s all just scenery. Don’t get trapped in the story.
Forward ahead.
Today I will judge nothing that occurs.
I let the past go.
“Father, today I leave creation free to be itself. I honor all its parts, in which I am included. We are one because each part contains Your memory and truth must shine in all of us as one.”
Good morning my love, this is what I needed to hear, just this moment. I have had moments of putting ..it …down and not examining it, then there is my old mind again.
I let the past go, Father.

Dear Dear Lisa,
Oh my thanks be to you for your wonderful blog….for your honesty! Truly it was
just what I needed to read today. So much has been happening and I too have
had some “disappointments”. Yes, yes, dear God let us remember remember that
you have the map, that you are leading us to our highest good if we would just
remember to ask for guidance. It is heaven to be reminded of the truth.
much much love and light to you,
Jody
WOW, WOW, WOW! Thank you. This is exactly what i needed. Hope my pea brain can hang on to this for more than a moment.
Love, Jim
The mind is not a pea brain – it is the Mind of God.
My mother used to say: ” When God said brains, you thought he said trains and you ran and missed it “. I think i’ll let go of that. Thanks!!!
Your blog is an angel’s boom box today
