Judgment

Regarding judgment, we are judging all day long.  From the moment we choose what clothing to wear,  which task or errand to perform first,  which direction to drive one's car, etc. etc.    The word "judgment"  seems to be used by the New Age movement the same way "sin" is used by christianity.   

Judgment = choice

"Why do you think you are met with these "ridiculous reactions"?

It's because you are judging them for being ridiculous. You think you're right. You think your opinion is more valuable than theirs. You don't consider that they have a right to their beliefs or that someone who doesn't fit your code could possibly be of service. They invalidate you and then you invalidate them."

FYI,  my posts on the debate forum were not in judgment.   In fact, infinite potential has room for ALL belief systems, ALL.   My purpose for posting (once again) was to share and explore, and when that was not received well, to mirror.

"When you point one finger, notice how many are pointed back at you."     Common new-age cliche.

Have I pushed a few buttons?  ;-)
