Wolf Spirit Mother,

This is such a good point you make about judging others. It is so easily done the mind slips in to a eared habit or way of thinking. We don't watch our minds properly we somehow think it does it on its own! You have to programme your mind keep it in check with good things dont let it wander without purpose, shadows can be there waiting for a stray thought, to make it in to a negative one.

When you do look inside it is interesting to see the thoughts that you have inherited that are not yours, or to notice the ones picked up from TV that other people who watch TV reinforce to you. People are perhaps not discerning enough with themsleves and others, which leads to a society that runs on fabrication and lies - they are so ingrained people cannot see them anymore.

Judgement of others comes swift to the mind when you look at someone you immediately make assumptions about them. I do make an effort to not do this and I never run with the crowd and have been tested on this many times and have stood alone. I catch many of my thoughts before they become destructive to others or myself. I believe thoughts are things, and if we all really got this we could change the world overnight. This is true, how can we get everyone to know this?

I am far from where I need to be but I know one must sit quietly with oneselfself, separate from others, to be yourself , to find yourself, before you can be yourself. The red road if followed will lead you to yourself and therefore, Yahweh.
