"As ye judge so shall ye be judged". Ever consider it as we're the ones judging ourselves and not necessarily others judging us? Although that is true too. Judgment is one of mankind's greatest curses of learned behaviors. We certainly weren't born judgmental.
I'm well aware how our judgment skills are absolutely essential for mankind's well being in so many scenarios. I'm not talking about those.
And my use of words like "lazy, narrow-minded, victimized, bla bla"
are not teacher-like, and I am eating those words to make room for better ones.
Judgment is a symptom and reflection of ourselves in the physical. People aren't going to accept we have a spirit, when they cannot accept there's more to living things that governs unfathomable energy of organized perfection. Awareness reveals perfection of nature.
People will begin to wake-up to the fact there is organized perfection when they accept it as they do gravity. One only has to contemplate the mechanics of nature to acknowledge the perfection. Mathematics is mankind's greatest tool to understanding this perfection.
Somewhere in time mankind learned to ignore, so teachers never knew what they didn't know, and here we are! The geometric evidence in nature's creations abounds: snowflakes, flowers, plants, or crystals just to start. I had a horrible geometry teacher and hated geometry when it should fascinate.
Yet we've evolved and continued to ignore (because we didn't know what we didn't know) the unseen intelligence and perfection in nature? Fear somewhere in time? Fear is what leads to negativity in every arena. Fear does not protect us. Instinct does. Suppose this intelligence does come from our hearts?
Awareness is mankind's greatest gift, in my opinion, when it's used to "see" ourselves more clearly. It's a wonderful gift to cherish, rather than ignore, so back to judgment. There is a saying I've embraced since the day I heard it nearly 2 decades ago: "Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind."
Those that matter are the people who stand by you unconditionally. If they don't, then they really don't matter to you. Do not imagine they do in any way. Our self is invisible as is our awareness of self. Can you accept self and awareness are inseparable? Can you accept your self is not your body?
Let that thought digest into acceptance as we continue our journey.

Day 23 ~
I have yet to "know" a better way, and there are several things I've said that are throwing a reader here and there. I been told I have a somewhat forceful, or domineering, or even my own self-righteous attitude and I don't want to come across that way. I care too much and I want to apologize if you take any offense to what I say. I refine myself constantly and thank you.
Let me try this one again. Self-discovery should be an on-going, easy, natural thing. For instance, a situation we're upset or upset someone else, we can see our "selves" revealed. Perhaps using "revealed" sounds like it should stay hidden, but I don't think that way.
So many, many people take the lazy, victimized-by-life outlook, even though they believe, or not, there's a "savior" and want to believe they're doing "their best". I am so sad when people expect things to be different for themselves when they cannot see their own responsibility. Where did that go? With blame? With wanting this "savior" to do the hard work?
I'm not trying to be some self-righteous person putting others down to rise myself up. Do you know you have a strong sense things should be different, you wish things were more fair, or you're "only venting", or this or that? It's okay! Life is a schoolhouse. This is Awareness Ave; you're walking it to see what's out there that you may have never seen before. Don't loose curiosity.
Just one more thing at this point. "Timing" is everything. When we're ready to listen or hear, we're ready. Each student has their own unique life, teacher and principal.Without faith in perfect order to life, it's harder to see and hear.

Day 22
Awareness is curative if
we stay aware and don't expect immediate results. It can be done and
it's worth the insight we gain into ourselves that makes the path a good
one to take if we're willing to keep putting one foot in front of the
other in our belief and faith.
If you're unsure what to have faith in, I'd suggest to start reading the ideas I've talked about in earlier posts.
I'm still "contemplating" a more affective approach.

Day 21 ~
Have any of you ever heard anything similar: our adulthood is to overcome the negatives of our childhood? All of us are a product of our childhoods, blended with the spirit we brought to the table of life. And the good news is how our awareness is such a helpful first step towards overcoming most things.
Many of us aren't willing to do the hardest work of self-discovery, and I feel pretty certain to say they're most likely the ones that refuse to believe in a higher intelligence flowing somewhere within. So many have become hardened to the idea or have never heard of another way to view the mystery.
I trust myself that what I've experienced in my life has enabled me to speak from, at least a growing, wisdom. As I've said, I had a near-fatal car accident that changed my perceptions of truth about a thing called God. Our own awareness about ourselves is inexplicably intertwined with this God-thing.
By writing this, the best I can hope for is to "get a foot in the door" of a mind that rejects the unknown, unproven, or ethereal. And in order to do that I've got to come up with a new idea beyond just harping on awareness. I'm puttin' it out there again: I welcome opposing thoughts to challenge me to do a better job here.
I do plan to continue writing, but I've got to go within, even deeper, for the way to gather minds in a magnetic fashion. My life is challenging me right now, and I do hope I will rise to this occasion soon!

Day ~ 20
Thanks again to a reader, I need to add that meditation can certainly include hobbies that don't need constant mental attention. We need to be able to attempt to put our feeling-focus on the fact there is nothing to think about since everything is happening exactly as it must ~ so no worries.
When we do begin to feel concern, simply be aware and feel peace to shut your thinking off. Practice as often as you can make yourself go above and beyond. Every day you must try harder than the day before, for awhile.
Gardening, music, generally crafts, tinkering, mowing the lawn, fishing, washing dishes, sewing, art that flows from us, or dance that flows, and even being with a loved pet. I'm sure we've got a good idea, but activities tend to take our focus away from nothing. A silent, peaceful mind will carry your heart to a very deep place you will begin to relish.
Again, the awareness that everything happens exactly as it's supposed to can be incorporated and encouraged in a child's life very easily. But it's not going to come across naturally if the guardian doesn't believe it. So many adults are already too concerned about the things in life they believe make it flow.
We need to take an honest look at ourselves, without judgment (not easy), or else how are we ever going to get on the track towards everlasting peace, joy, and unconditional love in the future?
Imagine how simple it could be to talk (everyday there'd be an opportunity) with a child about the fact the biggest things in life (all of nature) are governed by this invisible force none of us can do anything about. And the same force organizes, perfectly, what needs to happen so we'll be able to see how we feel and what we've done then. We don't need to have all the answers.
Most situations open the doors to opportunities to discuss feelings with children: it's okay to feel what we do, but angry feelings aren't going to change anything, or we can show them how they can help others that may need comfort, which is love. That can always lead to further awareness of conditions we feel (which is personal judgment) that can stop people from helping, comforting or simply reaching out. Awareness is curative ~
If you honestly believe your actions allow the timing of things to happen, you're sadly delusional. Absolutely, our actions do create, but if you've ever been disappointed it's not happening in your time frame, you may wonder why. Frustration grows, especially if you mentally believe you've done things well.
All I want to say to you, is that "timing" is as unfathomable as nature. Most of us accept nature is what it is, in conjunction with man's influence, so why can't we accept this same invisible force or energy could possibly have some affect on our lives that we ultimately can't do anything about?
When you think about it, all situations show us how we handled them. Isn't that where the old phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" came from? The cliches are pretty endless. Try catching yourself doing good things! Acknowledge it and it will happen again. Catch yourself again, and what happens? Happiness?
Thanks for being here, and lets begin to help others wake up more too.

Day 19 ~
I've been called upon by someone who reads this to look even deeper into myself at what I could still be resisting. Perhaps I am afraid of stepping forward somewhere in my life, as shown to me now, with this "one-in-a-million" toe scenario.
Did those clouds, I spoke of seeing last week, grab my attention for some reason my heart-intelligence was aware? I chose to pay attention beyond my intellect, yet I still needed deeper awareness. I obviously needed someone to bring this to me. Isn't what we need always available?
This is what I call "magic" in an ethereal sense.
This "magic" is outside our control, yet within our perception. See? I can only hope a skeptical mind will accept this with its own growing awareness. The awareness is ours, the silent wisdom is within as well as outside us. But it's obviously not our intellect or ego.
Being aware of our "selves" takes courage, vigilance, and surrendering to the silent wisdom found within our human heart and evolution. I believe this silent wisdom is our "God". Put your faith in a silent wisdom; be aware. See?
Hey, we're human and humans aren't perfect, so we're still susceptible to errors of interpretation. But the silent wisdom of evolution is urging us to believe in and revere just that, because our feelings send messages to our heart and our heart sends messages to our body which come around again.
Puzzle pieces!

Day 18 ~
The fear of death, is one most people have tucked into the recesses of their minds, because they've probably never heard of another perspective to view and embrace with belief. I even surprised myself when I wrote, "grief bridges the gap between loss to awareness".
Each of us lives in only "our life", so each individual's loss is unique to them and I'm aware of this. I am also aware that death does not need to cause anger or depression in a normal-functioning human. And it's all of our "job" to learn to handle our life's experiences in a graceful manner.
Fear of the unknown is a very natural response to life when you haven't been brought up to realize who and what you are. Mankind has evolved to believe it's in control of it's destiny. Why should mankind be any different from any other living thing on the planet? Afraid of missed opportunities?
Grief over a death is essential, because we are intelligent animals. The sooner we begin to acknowledge the pain is in our minds and not our hearts, the sooner we'll focus on the wonderful opportunities we came away with from that life. This is what brings acceptance. If we continue to focus on our loss, we prolong our pain.
There are animals that seem to express grief after a death, and I believe this is heart intelligence. And that carries them back to survival mode. But most humans haven't figured this out. Because our brains cannot accept everything happens the way it's meant to for us (to see more clearly with these brains).
Grief is absolutely essential in the process. It is an intense sadness to be honored. Sounds silly, but I believe honor is an energy extending out of respect for ourselves and what we've lost (in relation to death). This too shall pass when we allow it to, and we must!
