Beyond Judgement

Seeing the Divine Within All

There is a truth the heart knows, but the mind sometimes forgets.

Actions may become distorted.

Souls remain divine.

We are invited to see beyond the veil of judgement into the deeper memory of Oneness.

Distortion Is Not Identity

When we encounter cruelty, selfishness, or harm, in others, or in ourselves, it is easy to collapse it into labels: “Good” “Bad” “Worthy” “Unworthy”

But distortion is not identity. It is forgetting. It is the result of pain, fear, and disconnection wrapping around a light that has never been extinguished.

The soul remains whole.

The soul remains divine.

Even when forgotten.

When we realize distortion is not the souls truth, we stop making enemies of others. We stop making enemies of ourselves.

We can witness pain, fear, anger, without merging with them or defining anyone by a single moment.

Judgement Builds Walls. Understanding Builds Bridges

Every judgement we hold against another, or against ourselves, is a stone we place in a wall around our hearts.

Understanding does not mean agreeing. It means refusing to imprison the heart behind barriers of fear. Judgement says, “You are your mistake.” Understanding says, “You are learning. You are still light.”

When we choose understanding, we choose to remember. Everyone is walking their own sacred, messy, beautiful journey home to Source.

We Do Not Excuse Harm, We Remember Love

Accountability matters.

Boundaries matter.

Choosing wisdom matters.

But our deeper work is to see through distortion without letting it shatter our remembrance of Oneness.

Love does not blind itself to pain.Love sees pain clearly – and still chooses compassion. Love sets necessary boundaries – without hatred. Love holds truth and compassion in the same hand.

We are not called to excuse cruelty. We are called to refuse to let cruelty destroy our ability to love.

Even Those Lost in Distortion Are Walking Home

Some lessons are learned through joy. Some are learned through sorrow. Some are learned over many lifetimes of forgetting.

All journeys eventually lead home.

We are not here to “save” anyone. We are not here to “fix” anyone. We are here to witness the Divine spark still glowing, even when its buried beneath layers of pain.

We are here to remember. For ourselves. For others. For the whole.

Real Life Reflections

In daily life, this remembrance invites us to soften:

• When we see someone lashing out in anger online, we can pause and remember, “They are still learning, just like I am.”
• When a loved one speaks from fear instead of love, we can set boundaries if needed- but also recognize the hurt beneath their harshness.
• When public figures act from distortion, we can hold them accountable without reducing them to their worst moment.
• When we judge ourselves harshly, we can whisper: “I am divine even in my imperfection. I am still walking home.”

The more we practice, the more the walls fall away. And bridges of light are built in their place.

How Do We Practice Seeing the Divine Within All?

Small, powerful ways to integrate this truth daily:

• Pause before reacting:

When triggered by someones behavior, breathe. Ask yourself: “What fear or pain might be hiding underneath?”

• Bless instead of curse:

When encountering harshness, silently offer a blessing. “May you remember your own light, and I remember mine.”

• Forgive yourself first:

When you fall short of your own ideals, place a hand on your heart and say: “I am still divine. I am still learning. I am still worthy of love.”

• Practice sacred vision:

Each day, try to see at least one person – stranger, friend, or yourself – not through the lens of actions, but through the lens of eternal spirit.It is not built by ignoring darkness.

It is built by facing it with clear eyes, and choosing love anyway.

The Great Remembering is not naive.

It is courageous.

It is the choice to hold both truth and compassion together

and to walk forward, remembering that every soul — every single one —

is a part of the journey home.

You Are Divine.

They Are Divine.

All Are Walking Home.

May we meet each soul, including our own, with the eyes of remembrance.

Not by excusing harm.

Not by collapsing into separation.

But by anchoring the truth:

We are One.

We are Love.

We are remembering.

Adonai.
