Greetings beloved being of love and light. In the last topic, we discussed how many of us judge our emotions as bad, which leads to us suppressing these emotions. Emotions are not the only thing that we judge — we may judge people, objects, certain actions, and certain events in our lives as bad or good. You might ask me “what’s wrong with that?”, but judging is done by the ego, the thinking mind. The thinking mind loves to categorise things, particularly into ‘good’ and ‘bad’ categories. But your true self never judges, it just experiences while realising the underlying truth that everything is one. This is quite a complicated and controversial topic, but once this topic is fully understood, it will make a massive change in your life.

We have talked about oneness throughout this course — another aspect of oneness is that ‘good’ and ‘bad’ are one. Everything is one. We have all seen the yin yang symbol — this perfectly summarises how both evil and good are simply two different manifestations of the same energy. Seeing duality is seeing illusions. One could see the yin yang symbol as two different symbols next to each other; one black and one white. Another person may see just one whole symbol. This is the same with life and the universe. If you are seeing separate beings, separate places, separate situations, and experiencing separate emotions, this means you are seeing duality which is an illusion. If you see past the illusions and recognise the oneness behind all things, there is no duality, no separation. As Ra nicely puts it in The Law of One, “In truth there is no right or wrong. There is no polarity for all will be, as you would say, reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit complex which you amuse yourself by distorting in various ways at this time. This distortion is not in any case necessary. It is chosen by each of you as an alternative to understanding the complete unity of thought which binds all things. You are not speaking of similar or somewhat like entities or things. You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.”.

All things are completely neutral; it is your ego that has thoughts of “that’s bad” or “that’s good”. And these thoughts are based on one’s beliefs. Have you ever noticed that things society deems as bad or good change all the time? Homosexuality, holes in jeans, sex, and men talking about their emotions were all thought of as bad before, but now they are good. I definitely put ‘holes in jeans’ far too early on that list but you get my point. Black slavery, women suppression, smoking, being overweight, the death penalty, and men marrying young teenage girls were all commonly thought of as good before, but now they are not. Truth can never change — it is only illusions that can change, and our beliefs are based on illusions of duality. Have you noticed how a tanned skin colour is viewed as ideal in the west, but having white skin is the ideal in the east? Have you ever met someone who some people love and some people hate? Why do we find people so passionate about different sides of an argument? Surely someone or some culture is right and someone or some culture is wrong? No, it is all based on our beliefs. Some people believe certain traits in people are good, and certain traits are bad. Some people view their answer to an argument as right and anything different is wrong.

So your judgements merely reflect your beliefs, but what are your beliefs based on? Did you come up with your beliefs on your own? Or were they influenced? What you’ll find is your beliefs are influenced by factors such as your upbringing, education, society, culture, and media programming. They are not really your beliefs — you have simply been taught that something is good and something is bad. And these influences are your past experiences, meaning that your beliefs are based on the past. As we have discussed earlier in the course, the past is an illusion as the only time that ever exists is the present moment. So these beliefs are based on illusions. One who is spiritually awakened is very aligned with their higher self and has disassociated from their ego. In this state, they look on everything, everyone and every situation with no thoughts of judgement. They simply experience with the knowledge that all is one.

A common argument to this topic is: “so are you saying that people can just do whatever they want and it’s never bad?”. Yes and no. Ra often states in The Law of One “There are no mistakes under the Law of One.”. “How can there not be mistakes?”, I hear you shriek. Many of those who society deem as the most successful people in the world often tell us that they have made more mistakes than anyone, and that is why they are successful. They made more mistakes but learnt important lessons along the way which helped them become “successful”. Are they mistakes if they eventually lead to desired outcomes? Without making ‘mistakes’, we would not learn or grow as much. And what is a ‘mistake’? Why do we make ‘mistakes’? Mistakes are just actions that come from not knowing who we are. They are actions caused by the false self, the ego, which is an illusion. But by making these so called ‘mistakes’, and by learning from them, we can start to know our true selves. If one doesn’t learn from their ‘mistakes’, then they will not be closer to knowing who they are. If someone commits an action when they don’t know who they truly are, a spiritually awakened person will see their oneness with them, and will treat them as divine and perfect no matter how they act. One who is not awake will judge the person’s actions, and perhaps the person themself, as bad.

However, this would not lead to a ‘purge’ type society of no rules and laws. We have an internal moral guidance system which is our heart. Our true self, or higher self, or God, speaks to us through our heart. When we begin to listen to our heart and become our true selves, we would naturally only do loving actions because we are beings of love. It is who we truly are. However, we must first discover our true selves. So if someone commits an action that is caused by not knowing who they truly are, we must help them discover their true self. How do we do this? Do we judge them? Or do we love them by seeing their divine and perfect oneness with us? If we judge someone or something they did as bad, they will feel guilty and will believe they are a bad person. If we love them no matter how they act, this love will motivate them to discover their true self. They will ask themselves “why do they treat me with love even though I committed this action against them?”. This triggers self-discovery. We are all on the path of self-discovery, but some are further along than others. Instead of judging, we must love each other if we are to help each other on our paths. However, in a society of people who don’t know their true selves, laws and rules are needed to keep the society civilised.

Judgement only leads to disappointment in life. Many of us have beliefs of how our life should go, and if anything ever happens that gets in the way of this then we deem it as bad. But what we will cover in depth in the next topic is that we have a specific life path, and life is guiding us along that path. However, because our beliefs of how our life should go are often very different to how our life will go, this leads to frustration. When you release your judgement and beliefs, you are able to simply enjoy life no matter what. How many times did something happen in your life that you initially deemed as bad, but then later you realised it was the best thing that could have happened, or you realised that it wasn’t a bad thing after all? Doesn’t that judgement feel silly now?

The same can be said with emotions. In the last topic, we discussed how emotions are simply the body’s energetic reactions to the ego’s thoughts. The emotions themselves are neutral — would you get angry at a calculator for giving an answer to the math problem you entered? No, that’s just how the calculator reacts. The same can be said of our emotions. One must go deeper to identify the thoughts that have caused these emotions. And, again, we should not judge the ego’s thoughts as bad or good. In a similar way, they are just automated reactions based on our beliefs. Instead of judging the ego’s thoughts as bad or good, one should understand what beliefs caused the ego’s reactions, accept that the ego’s thoughts were just automatic reactions to one’s own beliefs, and simply choose to let go of those beliefs. Once you learn that you are not your ego, and can identify the difference between your true self and false self, it will be easy to disassociate from the ego.
