Judgment towards others

[Nicholas]

Is it possible to judge others, without judging yourself?

I don't think it is because the distortion of judging others would point to an experience in our lives where we had been judged. So this conditioning of being judged would have come about before our mental faculties were formed and thus we would not be equipped to contest it as an appropriate thing. It is clearly appropriate at the time or we would not be judged, such is the nature of early conditioning or programming that we come to automatically reinforce such criticisms upon ourselves thereafter. If it instead was widely understood that all things and situations are unique then judgement would be nonsensical. So I believe that when we judge another it merely reflects back to us an unstudied aspect of self judgement, which has at it's roots the experience of being judged.

As for myself this is an aspect of my own balancing processes. I play casual football every week and this provides me with awesome opportunities to become aware of why I am judging others internally. I can be incredibly shallow when I witness my own judgements of others. This is, in itself, a self judgement of recognising my judgement of other selves. The difference here is to not add an emotional value to the self diagnoses of "shallow thoughts", rather to understand which energy centre it relates to and how to process and balance it from there.
