I used to be the poster girl for resentment and regret. I’m not kidding you. Judgment was my whole thing. I remember having an epiphany of sorts. I was in meditation one day and I really got this whole awareness:
“Who am I without the judgments?”
And Spirit said, “Yeah, Jennifer, who ARE you without your judgments?”
I said, “I’m free!”
It was like, “Yeah! High five on that, girl!”
That turned everything around for me.
I realized, “Oh, my God! I can actually be happy without my judgments!”
Until I had that realization, which came through my willingness, my dedication and devotion to choosing Love, I thought that my happiness was my judgments. I thought being right was my happiness.
I was certain my happiness depended on my ability to convince other people of the correctness of my judgments, and to be right about everything. A lot of us are living there and calling it discernment. Here’s why my freedom is real, and it’s not a personality trait I happened to grow into.
“Remember always that your Identity is shared, and that Its sharing is Its reality.”
~ A Course in Miracles
In Spirit, we’re One. So anything we judge our brothers and sisters for, we’re going to believe about ourselves. Every judgment we hold on to is an unforgiveness. It’s a false belief. It’s our perception, and only our perception.
As long as we believe our judgments and opinions, we’re not able to perceive the truth.
Perception is projection. Projection is perception.ll that we see in our human experience is the projection of our beliefs, our judgments, our opinions. I’m so happy to have turned that around and to feel free from it, because I believed my judgments were my identity. I was constantly judging.
Judge, judge, judge, judge, judge, judge, judge, judge, judge.
The undoing of the ego, and the opening of our hearts and minds to the Holy Spirit, is the focus of our my Finding Freedom From Fear spiritual bootcamp, and it’s quite miraculous what unfolds.
You’re free without the judgments.
You always were free. It’s the judgments that make you feel limited and constricted because they block the flow of Love in our life.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE: I Took God to Couples Therapy with Neda Boin. We can put ourselves through so much and call it devotion. The harder it gets, the more committed we think we are. Neda Boin lived that for years, and when she finally sat down with God about it, what surfaced wasn’t the thing she’d been trying to fix. It was sitting one layer underneath, and it’s the layer almost none of us look at. If you’re forgiving faithfully and peace still hasn’t come, this is the one I’d like you to hear.
