THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING THE COSMIC LAWS

(PART 4)

Your Subconscious Listens Closely When You Criticize Others

This Awareness indicates that wherein you are critical of others about you, the indications are that there is a division between you and your imagination, for your imagination is in tune and in harmony with the others about you. And if these relationships can be cleared up easily so that the divisions between you and others are not lingering or chronic and the relationships can be brought into harmony, the indications are that your imagination is working with your mind in assisting you in your relationship with others.

This Awareness indicates that one cannot criticize others without being critical of oneself; and wherein one is critical, that part which is critical will also criticize oneself, and the imagination (the spouse within) will feel that criticism as being her own and will respond to that criticism.

This Awareness indicates that wherein you condemn, judge or criticize others harshly there is an equal reaction of energy that goes directly to your wife, the bride within, the "spouse", the imagination within your "house." The hostile word toward another comes back and your own conscious picked up....and takes this upon itself.

Wherein this is taken upon itself, ( a hostile word being sent out, returning to the subconscious or the imagination), this is assumed and incorporated into the being of the subconscious. This Awareness suggests that you give out the carbon copy but keep the original yourself. That words spoken to others go out and go in and impress themselves upon the cells of your body.

Therefore, this Awareness suggests that you not criticize others, that you be careful in how you speak of others. That you may analyze, discuss and talk with others in any manner so long as your efforts for the discussion are designed to bring about a reconciliation of any differences. But that you not emit hostile words or criticisms simply for the sake of dividing yourself from another, for the division will occur within yourself. This Awareness suggests that the mind and the imagination can work in harmony.

Criticism Is Not Judgment

This Awareness indicates that criticism in terms of an entity's actions, criticism in terms of situations as they affect you, does not need to be considered as judgment of the individual; that so long as entities recognize the spiritual value of every being in the Universe, that everyone has within them that God Self which needs to be recognized and brought out, and even you may criticize an action as being unworthy of that being, you need not hold hostility nor exhibit condemnation for that entity himself.

This Awareness indicates that it is important for all entities to know that they are essentially good, even if they have committed actions which have been essentially negative in nature, for while an entity may suffer punishment of negative karma, or may feel he or she deserves negative karma and punishment for a negative action, it does not good to be identified as a negative or evil person. This Awareness indicates that every entity should be treated as a Divine Being. This Awareness reminds you of the Law of Tolerance (see Cosmic Laws) which asked you that you address that you address each others as though you were addressing gods.

Judgment vs. Discernment

This Awareness wishes to define "Judgment" as an action of discerning with the implied purpose of determining superior or inferior destiny, of acceptance or rejection according to that discernment. This Awareness indicates that discernment in itself is not the same as judgment, for to discern implies that you only see "what is." To judge implies that you pronounce a sentence affecting the determination of where that concept, idea, or entity is to be placed.

This Awareness indicates that wherein a judgment rejects or accepts, or sends into damnation or salvation, that judgment carries with it a threat to the thing to the individual, to the concept, and whereby entities practice being judgmental, rather than discerning, entities tend to create separateness. This Awareness indicates that discernment brings about a balance in the forces and energies so that reconciliation can be found as the parts are discerned clearly. This Awareness asks entities to practice discernment, to avoid judgment.

Learn To Ask Questions Before Placing Blame On Anyone

This Awareness indicates that entities who do not seek to blame each other, but simply look at the facts of what happened, and even though that person may be the cause of something, and looking at the cause of that event, and recognizing this to be as negative circumstance caused by an entity's action; the entity who, rather than blaming the other, heaping quilt on the head of another, asks the question of the other: "What happened? How could you do this?"

This Awareness indicates that such questioning, rather than blaming, opens up the possibility for the entity to learn something about himself. The entity then may search himself and ask: "How did I let this happen?", and in that search, the entity may discover something which will prevent this from happening again. This Awareness indicates however, when you come along and say: "Look what you did! You are to blame for this! How horrible you are"!.....the entity then is condemned, is in a position of being judged without ever having any opportunity to account for the action, and the entity has no recourse to examine or to discover, or to explain how it occurred.

This Awareness indicates that even wherein an entity asks how it occurred, asks questions to discover why the entity allowed this to occur, and then, after asking all of the questions, pronounce the sentence: "You were certainly stupid! That was totally uncalled for, and you are totally in error, and I can't forgive you for this unless you apologize profusely!"; this Awareness indicates that such condemnation after an entity has searched for reasons and understanding may again shut off any further probing on behalf of the entity to discover why he or she allowed such an event to occur.

This Awareness indicates however, those who are chomping at the bit to find someone to blame, those who are not passing judgment, those who are not showing how magnanimous they are by following such blame and judgment with offers of forgiveness; such entities who do not play that role of persecutor, judge, jury and ward to offer pardons; those entities who, rather than falling into the judicial trap in their relationships, prefer to relate in a more civilized level of being a friend; those entities in seeing an infraction, will approach the other, discuss the problem, attempt to inquire as to the happening, to allow the other to have a full opportunity for expression, without the threat of being condemned; will allow the entity full freedom of examining, and will assist the entity not by condemnation or giving answers, but by asking questions to assist the entity to look deeply, to discover: "What was this that led to this happening?", and in this manner, the friend may help that entity to discover something about himself which can reveal the root cause of the problem, and alleviate that problem, preventing it from occurring again.

This Awareness indicates therefore, It advocates that entities not put themselves in a position of judgment, but rather that you discern. This Awareness indicates in a trial, the judge discerns, then after discerning, passes judgment. This Awareness asks you to discern and seek clearly to discover "what is", and when fully discovered, and allowing others involved to share what they have discovered, there then needs to be no judgment in terms of a condemnation in your relationship with others.
