Right Use of Judgment

Anger must come from judgment. Judgment is The weapon I would use against myself, To keep the miracle away from me.

Father, I want what goes against my will, and do not want what is my will to have. Straighten my mind, my Father. It is sick. But You have offered freedom, and I choose to claim Your gift today. And so I give all judgment to the One You gave to me to judge for me. He sees what I behold, and yet He knows the truth. He looks on pain, and yet He understands it is not real, and in His understanding it is healed. He gives the miracles my dreams would hide from my awareness. Let Him judge today. I do not know my will, but He is sure it is Your Own. And He will speak for me, and call Your miracles to come to me.

Listen today. Be very still, and hear the gentle Voice for God assuring you that He has judged you as the Son He loves. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 347, W-pII.347. See also ACIM Lesson 347 Insights.)

In the dream of separation judgment is necessary, but not as the ego judges. The belief in separation has made illusions that hide the presence of Love that is eternally in us. We have been given the Holy Spirit Whose function is to judge all things on our behalf.

His judgment is very simple. He looks upon our pain, our sorrow, our sickness and our guilt and judges them all as unreal. As we learn to accept His judgment as our own, the shadows of separation fade as the Light of Love enlightens our mind more and more. His judgments on our behalf realign our mind with our true Will, which we share with God.

Our vocation within the dream is very simple—to let the Holy Spirit judge all things on our behalf. Our reluctance to do this comes from the belief that we do not want God’s Will for us. We do not want His gifts of Love, peace and joy. We perceive accepting our true Will as loss of the specialness we treasure. We do not realize the fearful and deadly consequence of this choice.

The Holy Spirit is kind and gentle. He does not demand that we give up our preference for specialness all at once. But as we practice letting the Holy Spirit judge all things, we learn that specialness is replaced by everlasting Love, joy beyond description and perfect peace. Gradually we realize that we really do prefer the Will we share with God. We are less willing to accept the price of specialness. We awaken to Love.
