Judgment

August 12, 2007

How are you doing? Do you like to be judged? Do you want to be a judge? Some people try hard, they go to law school to try to be a judge. I guess that's something that means something to somebody in finality. But, how do you evaluate somebody's worth? I was talking to somebody the other day and I just came up with a line that I like. I will share it with you—"I'm cheap, no I'm dirt-cheap, no I'm free!

Why do we need to judge? It's because we have a lot of questions. You seek an answer when there is no answer that you can otherwise accept or that you're hearing in terms of balancing extremes. You always have to deal with that. Life is about answering, trying to understand the extremes in whatever level you are at, in whatever it is that you do. It doesn't matter. So, when you're questioning yourself sometimes, if you don't have the answer and if you don't have the patience, you'll eventually answer it yourself. Whether you like it or not you just became a judge! Pretty much the free market thrives on this kind of mentality. So, that's why things shift in all sorts of unpredictable ways, because people are judging and you can make money out of their judging. Is that good or bad? Who knows? Do you like to be free? Well, that's your freedom. 

But, what is the ideal world then? Is there some kind of design? Well, obviously that's what we're trying to figure out. Our whole life is about figuring that out. That's it, figuring that out. We spend every single second, if you're conscious, being about that. If that's what you want to know, every second of your life you'll spend trying to figure it out. And unless somebody can give you some kind of consistent inflow up and down, you're going to be judging, and many times you can make a bad judgment. That's a possibility. 

It's not just about faith. It's about action too. It's not about the foundation of faith, it's about the foundation of substance. It's about action, demands, something like that. You need the answer so you can move on. Whether I have it or not, I need that answer. If I don't have it, I'm going to give it my own answer, that's about it. That's why we commit ourselves to things that sometimes we might regret later on. Why? Because you question things, I question things. You question things and you need an answer, and if there's no answer, you'll make your own judgment. In other words, I'll give myself my own answer, whether you like it or not.

Do you want to create an ideal world? Okay, then keep something moving forward. Make it flow. Make it flow and keep it moving. It doesn't always have to be big, just something so long as it becomes more and more and more meaningful. Meaningful in the end, it's not subjective stuff, it's objective stuff. It's how you, the audience, feel in the end. It's not what I say. To begin with I don't want to be here. It's not what I feel, it's what you feel. It's that kind of stuff that's more important. Why do you have kids? Why do you want a family? Because it's all about you? No, it's about something greater. Whatever you do, the judgments that you make, if you have to make judgments, it's not about you in the end. It's about something else, more than you, bigger than you, right?

Hopefully you want to be a superstar, right? Whatever, you want to be, be the best, because that's the kind of natural progress in understanding God. That's where you start. That's why you need that answer. But the world can be very confusing at times because it's messed up. You have questions, and hopefully you can find answers around you. But, just because you don't, doesn't mean that the answer that you give yourself because of those circumstances, because of your predicament, is the only answer. Otherwise, you are truly the judge and that will kill you.

Judgment—yes you're going to be judged. That's what you do to yourself every day. If you want a more embracing, warmer kind of climate, then try to understand that there's the opposite too. Life is about control right, earning control, balancing the extremes. And you go step-by-step upward! Balance is just horizontal stuff. You are just levitating, that's about it, figuratively speaking. You want to move up, if you want to do so then keep that in mind. Then you go to the next level, the next level, the next level. Wherever your consciousness is at, it doesn't matter. I don't care, because that's irrelevant. It can be at zero and you're still a human being, okay? It could be at one hundred, a thousand, it doesn't matter, a million, who cares? When you move up, you move up because you know how to balance something, the extremes, in your own way. Even horizontally you can go far too, right? If you want to move up, that's how you do it. If you want to judge yourself, then judge yourself because you're the one who is going to give yourself the answer and say, "I can do this! And I did it." Who's that? That's you, not somebody else, not me, it's you. And that's what it is, that's how you move up.

There's a purpose for everything, so don't use things for stupid reasons. Know how one thing affects another, okay? Even if you want to heal something, you have to know how things are connected, right? It's just that. Focus on that stuff, not stupid stuff. If you want to change the world, then try to get to know what is real about God. I don't know who's providing that knowledge, but that's what I'm chasing too. That's the only way to do it. I believe that. We try. My reason is a little more personal so it might be a little different, but it's the same thing in the end. We want that stuff, all of us. It doesn't matter how you get there, how you come to that conclusion after trying. That's all we want in the end. That's the universality of it all. That's what love is. Love can bring every person under the sun to life, so try, okay?
