Change Your Perception ( 11 )

Do not judge.


Do not judge,
First and foremost, do not judge yourself.
Don't judge your thoughts-just observe them.
By judging and getting involved with a thought, you are creating seed impressions. Buddhism teaches that it is the outflows resulting from our varied responses to the play of phenomenon which harnesses us to the wheel of life. (The Teachings Of Hui Hui by J,Blofeld page 22).

Every phenomenon produces  a reaction within us, leading to some sort of outflow from our minds which acts upon the 'outside' occurrence and causes them to re-act  upon us yet again.-and so on, endlessly.

" Every action, either physical or mental, every movement occurring either on the plane of gross matter or on the plain of the mind, causes an emission of energy. It produces a seed. This seed , in the same way as all material seeds- given favourable circumstances - to produce a being of the same species as that of the parent who has transmitted the seed. The seed of an oak tends to produce an oak, the seed of an animal, a dog or bird, tends to produce a dog or a bird.

" Likewise, the innumerable energy-seeds launched into the universe by 
Desire, Aversion, Love, Hatred and the actions caused by these feelings, by attachment to individual existence with the material activity which it excites in order to preserve the individual existence to perpetuate it, to increase its power and enlarge its sphere of action, all these seeds tend to reproduce the counterparts of their parents either psychic or material. "

These words of wisdom were taken from  ' The Secret Oral Teachings ' by Alexandra David-Neel and Lama Yongden, City Light Books, 1967.

Do not judge others. By judging others you are only judging their mask and costume (their  fake ego and form)-and not their true self.

It is like judging an actors true nature by judging him on the character he is playing.
You know who he really is;he is you,but he has a different acting role .

Underneath the script and costume and mask, he and you are one.
Judge not-lest you be judged.
