How Our Judgment Shapes Our Belief System

When we see how our mind works and what thoughts it generates we find that every thought is a definition of a thing, an event or a person. This definition carries a judgment - negative or positive, good or bad. For example an event "they gave me money" we could label as a good one, while "they lied to me" we could judge as a bad event. That's the way we accompany our thoughts with judgments.

Whatever we label as "good" we tend to experience again and again because we enjoy it. We tend to avoid whatever we label as "bad" because it's painful. That's the way we form our personality. It consists of great number of definitions and judgments based on principles "yes-no", "good-bad".

In general labeling reminds me an act of casting a spell. We will not approach a person we have labeled as a bad one. We convey this conditioning to our friends and relatives. Either we tell them directly or they read this judgment non-verbally. The same way it goes when we label a person as a good one. In other words we close up or open certain areas of our life for other people.

What's more interesting is that our problems almost always live in the closed and sealed areas. It is not surprising if we remember the principal that our inside conditioning equals to our outside life. If we fear something then we will try to avoid. That will create a problem. To solve that problem we need to become aware of that fear and go right into it. Therefore while we continue to label something as bad, problems will only multiply.

The same thing goes with beliefs about people. For example if you don't like certain type of people you will create situations where you need to deal with such people. It will continue until you overcome your negative belief about that type of people. Did you notice that through our life we have to deal with the same people over and over again? Why is that so? We are programmed to overcome our dual perception of the world.

The solution of our problems lay in the area that we usually hide from ourselves. Solution to our problems in those people we try to forget because we labeled them as "evil". It is also true about those people whom we meet and judge them as "bad" or "not very good". If we release ourselves from that judgment then those problems will gradually disappear from our life. I don't mean we need to label those people and events as "good" ones. All we have to do is to release our judgment about them.

With our judgment we seal not only some past unpleasant events but also big areas of our life. Many people don't even remember their childhood and adolescent years. Some people even manage to forget events that took place a few minutes ago.

Once we understand what it means not to judge and accept everything and everyone as they are we learn to open up our memory and meet face to face our fears and pain that live inside of us. The rest is easy. We need to let them go. Life becomes clear and fresh after that. We will meet fewer obstacles on our path.
