THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING THE COSMIC LAWS

(PART 5)

The Importance of Discernment

This Awareness indicates there are many new sources of information and products and sources of learning; that these allow entities during this time (1984), more than any other time in history upon this plane, to have conscious choices and alternatives, whereby decision-making becomes a great art, whereby entities, in having so many choices, must make decisions that are appropriate or the consequences for inappropriate decisions must be experienced.

This Awareness indicates that because of the many choices which entities have, discernment is becoming the more important mental art, and entities in developing their ability to discern shall find themselves also rising into higher refinement, or if failing to develop the art of discernment, may find themselves failing into greater levels of despair.

Making a Judgment on a Concept or Idea

This Awareness wishes to comment on the concept of judgment in regard not so much to people, but in regard to concepts, ideas, and beliefs for example. This Awareness has suggested that you judge not. In general, this is taken to refer to judgment in regard to each other in the sense of condemnation of each other, or self. This rule may also be applied in a general sense to concepts and ideas, because if you reach a conclusion about some idea or concept, is there any reason to then continue gathering information or evidence for further research along the line of that idea or concept?

If you have already concluded this to be the truth, have you not then closed the door on further research, further investigation, further willingness to examine that concept? It is this which leads to dogma. The dogma of science, the dogma of religion is simply the assumption of something one concludes to be the facts about a concept or belief and the door is then closed; there is no further discussion except to substantiate and add further evidence for that conclusion.

This Awareness indicates that to avoid dogma, entities may discern, and may keep the door open and not leap to a conclusion, may acknowledge that there is a lot of evidence that this is the likelihood or that this is the evident by all of the standards and indications, but they may keep their minds open on the subject to hear the other side of the argument, to hear other viewpoints, or to hear new evidence that may run counter to the indications, and in doing so, they gain greater knowledge and are able to adapt to new discoveries without fighting them off and perhaps destroying truth that may be close at hand.

This Awareness indicates that to label and condemn someone with labels; this is what is most damaging to others in regard to this suggestion that you judge not. This Awareness indicates that even in the case of the criminal action wherein an entity has created a crime, the judgment does not necessarily need to be a judgment that the individual is evil. It can be a judgment that the action was classed as unlawful or evil, or the action was illegal and deserves by law certain punishment. It does not need to state that the entity is evil or bad, but the action of the entity was evil and intolerable to society, and requires that the entity who committed the action must be locked away.

This Awareness indicates that in this manner, you are not judging the person, you are discerning the action, and is guilty of the action.

Being Sensitive To, Not Judgmental of Your Own Behavior, is Important

This Awareness indicates that wherein the individual becomes sensitive enough to allow this time of reaping to occur at the exact same moment as the sowing; wherein the entity becomes aware that his actions do automatically and inevitable bring about the equal and opposite reaction; whereby the entity becomes aware that the seed which has been sown brings forth its own fruit according to its own motivation, the entity then has the opportunity and wisdom which allows the entity to become sensitive and to move towards states of poise and harmony in his or her affairs.

This Awareness indicates this sensitivity toward one's behavior, toward one's expression and the results of that expression, this sensitivity without judgment of right or wrong, but simply with discernment of what is fact; this sensitivity can become so acute, so clear, so sharp that there is no choice - for one can only see that which is urgent, necessary, appropriate and happening directly in front of himself or herself during that particular moment.

This Awareness indicates that in this discernment there is no judgment, no morality, no right or wrong, no question of "should" or "should not," but simply that which is occurring and must be faced. This Awareness indicates that wherein entities can be this sensitive and this discerning; wherein there is no choice; wherein there is no law to interpret, (for the entity is within the law itself, within the central balance point of that law); wherein the entity is so sensitive and discerning that the experience and the experiencer into unity as one; wherein the observer and the observed become integrated totally as one, this becomes that atonement - that at-one-ment with the Universe; and this atonement is known as poise.

This Awareness indicates that as entities tune in more and more into these states of poise and give less and less concern in those areas of trying to create order, trying to put things ion order; as entities tune into these levels of poise they serve as a gyroscope - a universal gyroscope, and their very poise begins to serve likened unto the central point of a teeter-totter. And all other areas which appeared to have been in disorder begin to center around that entity who is in poise, and that very poise begins to spread harmony without any form of control at all; simply being attentive to "what is" and responsive to the sensitivities of all forces involved.

Suspending Judgment Can Lighten Your Load

Q: Will Cosmic Awareness please give me specific directions as to what I can do when I am healed to carry out the Will of Cosmic Awareness, and can I ascend in my light body in this life, and will please Cosmic awareness guide me?

A: This Awareness indicates the latter part of the question has been previously answered, but you may ascend at any time in you light body when you are capable of moving into that feeling level far enough to experience totality without judgment.

The judgment is that which creates the polarity which forces the atoms of your form to become dense matter.
This Awareness indicates that the total elimination of all judgment, all feeling of separateness, and self would indeed create that which is the Light Body, and you would ascend into the third level, dissolving in light before the eyes of others.

Any time Is A Good Time To Judge Not

This Awareness indicates for those who are aware, the concept of Judge Not can apply at any time. Wherein an entity does not judge oneself, this Awareness indicates however this does not particularly free the entity of Karma, for the entity may discern clearly, even though not judging self or condemning self, may discern clearly that an error has been committed and must be atoned for. Therefore, the entity may elect to do something which will atone for the error that has been committed,

Only You Can Cut Yourself From the Light

This Awareness indicates that the High Self does not judge, does not condemn, does not sentence entities to Hell to suffering: entities send themselves to Hell by cutting themselves off from the Light through personal quilts and through ignorance and through crimes against others. The ignorance is quickly and easily forgiven, but the crimes against others must be looked at carefully and a payment must be made or the payment must be forthcoming as the entity returns to the Light.

Only Your Higher Self Is Capable Of Judging You

Entities may discern and judge the actions in their effect upon others, in their effect upon the rights and freedoms of each other, but in terms of judging the soul or righteousness of another individual, this is not for anyone to do, except the individual's own higher awareness, wherein the entity becomes aware of his or her own errors. This is the judgment.

Judge Not Yourself, Either

In order to teach others not to feel rejected, ask them not to speak of pride or arrogance or self-certainty, but to follow the Laws and Precepts that this Awareness has given.

Not to speak of the pride and arrogance, self-certainty, and complacency, that they as ministers might find these within themselves, for these indeed are the seeds of rejections. Tell men not to reject themselves or to feel disgust or hatred of themselves, for again, these are the seeds of discontent.

Tell each man not to try to make himself acceptable in his own judgment, for this Awareness has asked men not to judge, not to judge others or themselves, but to understand and to know that life is not a matter of appeasement, for failure will ever ensue. And with failure comes hatred and hostility toward self. Tell all men that he who rejects self soon is rejected by others. That as men feel more and more hostile toward their destiny, they will feel more and more hostile towards themselves. That this hostility shall grow, and hatred will include hatred for all men and for this Awareness. These are the old ways, and in the new reality these old ways shall be understood for what they have made manifest.
