Click here to listen to today’s Daily Power Prayer for Living in Oneness!:
If I really believe that all is One, is it possible for me to have a private thought? If I’m entertaining thoughts of judgment, unforgiveness, anger, and resentment and I desire to keep them private, hidden from the rest of the Infinite Mind, then I must be simultaneously broadcasting a deep desire to be on my own, separate and NOT part of the cooperative Love Festival that God is. In this case, I have surely lost my mind.
When I dis someone aren’t I actually trashing myself AND the Divine (since all is ONE)? Does it matter if the person I don’t approve of is in the next cubicle, in the next house or car or on American Idol? If there is One source and supply of talent, inspiration and prosperity, is it ever possible to “get away with” thinking disparagingly of other’s efforts?
If I can be jealous, resentful and critical of others am I not then throwing myself into solitary confinement of my own creation? Aren’t judgments of others a way of saying, “I am not part of the river, therefore I can dump waste into it and not be touched by it.”
Doesn’t my judging attitude guarantee that the toxic waste of negative thought will stink up my house? If I begrudge others their success, am I not limiting my own ability to access the flow of creativity? Won’t my own prosperity then SEEM elusive and out of reach?
I’ve had all the experience I need to have in order to know that I can only receive that which I’m willing to give. Therefore, it is essential that I not pour anything in the well water that I don’t want to drink by the gallon. And so, today, I’m grateful for an awareness of truth. My deep desire to know the Truth instantly restores my mind to pristine awareness. From this place I choose Love.
Affirmation:
Truth is my guide. Love is my choice.

Seriously, yesterday I reminded myself that- ‘euw, I must be ‘picking up’ someone else’s thoughts’.
American Idol? gasp.
You are right on target. Thank you.
Great way to explain it.. thanks.. for that.. i think that will help me to remember.. not to judge..
Jennifer, you are amazing! I needed to read this, at this very moment. Your words are beautiful and very appreciated. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and helping us all rise on this tide of love, it has had such an impact on my life. I am so grateful!
So beautiful. Hits to the heart of much that I am addressing in my daily practice. Thank you!!!!
Love, love, love it! I’m printing it up to read every morning as I need this right now. The solitary confinement sentence really struck home. My ego is kicking my butt right now but it will not win! When I get discouraged I remember that at least I am aware when I am making a judgement or not living authentically -and that is big progress in itself. So, as per your advice, I do the happy dance in my mind!!
You are such a precious angel in my life – thank you beautiful!
