Pondering Being Judgment-Free

If I am to stand before untold variations of characters, eventually in great numbers, and both speak and exude that each of them can be, do and have anything they desire, that truly anything is possible, I must have virtually no vestige of judgment, doubt or incredulity, no matter who they are and what their circumstances may be.

From this I deduce that I have yet a long way to go! At this stage I have become conscious of the matter more as a challenge than a resolution, more as an intellectual idea that a heart-felt way of being. Yet, as I cycled around the city today, I briefly looked at some people passing by who were quite ordinary with no particular “pull” or attraction to me, either physical or emotional, people who, in ordinary circumstances, I would probably only encounter briefly at best, whose daily lives probably have little in common with mine other than basic functions and needs and, suddenly, it hit me for just a second how profoundly sad it is that if judgments are removed and the basic commonality and great potential is accepted wholeheartedly, how crushing it is that they may never find their true selves in this life and fulfil the beauty and greatness within them.

This level of consciousness is too hard to bear for long and my mind swiftly retreats to a safer position of numbness that I may once more function rather than succumb to the overwhelming, heart-rending sadness that would pour forth choked tears in too humiliating a fashion.

Back then to the veil of reality that, though sad, hides the pain yet is suffering. But now I know this: I am not as far as I thought from both speaking and exuding that anything is possible for those who dare believe. I need merely re-connect with that pain, just briefly, let go of any nagging doubts born of ignorance and trust in the Source of all things, for only It knows what great things are possible and are but a tiptoe away in the infinite possibility that is life.
