This post is one of a series that are chanelled through me by a non-physical source of wisdom, a spirit guide called Shera, and it came in answer to a question I had recently about a situation where I was judging and doubting myself. Sound familiar?
Dearest one, Do not judge the experience as good or bad. It simply is. And this is what we will speak of today.
It is wise for all of you to begin questioning your beliefs and your judgements. You do not truly understand how much your beliefs are limiting your experience of the world. You have been taught your belief system by the world around you, you were not born with it. When you were growing up it was your parents, teachers, friends and perhaps religious organizations, who moulded your beliefs about what is true in the world and today, your media is contributing to that process. There are as many truths as there are people, for each individual has their own truth.
The question to ask yourself then, is if your “truths” are truly your own or do they belong to your family of origin or your culture? If you moved to another area of your world you would find yourself absorbing new truths from a new perspective and indeed this is why travel is so broadening to the human experience.
During the day, pay attention to where you are labelling things as good or bad. It is a constant and often subconscious inner mind chatter...the rain is bad today, the sunshine is good. The dirty person at the bus stop is bad, the cake is good, the cranky store clerk is bad and the song playing on the radio is good. I don’t like this but I do like that. All day, every day, your mind is running judgements on even the smallest details. We are not saying that you cannot have preferences but in truth, all is not bad or good, it just is. This is important to understand dear ones, so we will say it again...it simply is.
We ask you to notice these thoughts as they come into your mind and become aware of them. You may be surprised at just how much judgement goes on within yourself, daily. Judgement is an impediment to your peace and dear ones; peace is what you truly desire.
When you notice a judgement come up, it would be wise to say to yourself, “I’m tempted to feel judgement right now. I’m tempted to think that judging this as good or bad will keep me safe and reinforce who I am when really, it actually defines me in a way that limits my experience.” By releasing these judgments as they come to you, you will begin to expand your perception, your belief system and eventually, your life.
What is it you are you limiting yourself from right now based on old, out dated beliefs that were never yours to begin with? There is another way of perceiving and processing the information you take in; be interested, be curious, observe and be open. The world you experience will take on a new hue, a new depth and a new sense of wonder but most of all, a longed for feeling of peace.
We leave you now dearest ones with the knowledge that you are deeply loved and you are never alone. Your own guided ones long to assist you, you have but to ask.

I found this advice to be extremely helpful to me by making me aware of just how many times a day I put judgements on even the simplest thing. I realize we make our lives so much more difficult than they need to be because everything labelled as “not good” brings a certain amount of dissatisfaction and stress into our lives and really, who needs that!
Wishing you all an interesting day!
