Learning the Right Use of Judgment

I judge all things as I would have them be.

Judgment was made to be a weapon used against the truth. ²It separates what it is being used against, and sets it off as if it were a thing apart. ³And then it makes of it what you would have it be. ⁴It judges what it cannot understand, because it cannot see totality and therefore judges falsely. ⁵Let us not use it today, but make a gift of it to Him Who has a different use for it. ⁶He will relieve us of the agony of all the judgments we have made against ourselves, and re-establish peace of mind by giving us God’s Judgment of His Son.

Father, we wait with open mind today, to hear Your Judgment of the Son You love. ²We do not know him, and we cannot judge. ³And so we let Your Love decide what he whom You created as Your Son must be.(A Course in Miracles, W-311. See also ACIM Lesson 311 Insights.)

Judgment makes division. It separates us from the truth. It separates us from what we judge. This is the ego’s purpose for judgment. It closes our mind to the truth. Because of our judgments, we perceive only what we want to be true. It seems unlikely that we would want to see war and destruction. But the ego feeds on this perception because it reinforces the “reality” of separation.

The fact is we have no true basis for any judgment we make. It is time to let judgment go. Today we welcome peace in our mind as we bring all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit. We let Him judge them as true or false, real or unreal. As we open our minds to His judgment on our behalf, we discover there is no cause for fear or guilt. We realize that truth is changeless and our judgments have no effect on it. They only block our mind from recognizing Reality as It is.

With an open mind and heart today, we welcome the Holy Spirit’s loving judgment on our behalf. We trust that He will help us experience the Love of our Father. We will know we are free to be Love.
