Secret Judgements

Have you ever noticed that when you watch TV, you find yourself critiquing the characters? Perhaps it’s their looks, attitudes, or choices that trigger a judgment. This phenomenon isn't limited to passive viewing; it often extends to our interactions with those around us. Our ego tends to seek out opportunities for criticism, constantly searching for ways to declare something as “wrong.” In the context of A Course in Miracles, staying vigilant means observing these secret judgments and consciously choosing to change our minds.
Forgiveness is at the heart of this practice. When we forgive ourselves for harbouring such judgments, we open the door to healing—not just for ourselves but also in how we perceive others. Even the smallest judgments can have significant impacts on our inner peace and relationships. It’s important not to approach this awareness with paranoia; rather, consider it a gentle reminder that guides us back "on course" whenever we recognize unkind thoughts.
What if you embraced the idea that what you think of others is merely a reflection of your own self-perception? If everyone around you acts as a mirror reflecting your inner beliefs and feelings, how might that shift your treatment of yourself?
“Imagine becoming a spotless mirror through which the holiness of your Creator shines forth”. As articulated in A Course in Miracles: “You need but leave the mirror clean and clear of all the images of hidden darkness…” By recognizing and releasing our hidden judgments, we create space for God’s light to shine through us more brightly than ever before.
