Help with staying in the present

[Steppingfeet]

By judgement, I was referring to the faculty of judgment (evaluation).

Ah, this word lends itself to just this sort of miscommunication as it has a strong positive and negative connotation. That's why I was attempting to differentiate by identifying judgment of the "negative" kind, that being that energy which condemns, abhors, belittles, strips one of worth, etc.

Icaro intended the word "judgment" in the same sense. Not as synonymous with discernment, or fair assessment, or wisdom, or clear sight.

The 'negative judgment' that you are talking abut seems like an emotional-level distortion which wouldn't seem to have a place in 'enlightenment'

Exactly. That's what Icaro was getting at. And what I seconded.

Also, who said one releases judgment? I was pointing out the opposite.

You wrote, "'Enlightenment' is a developmental thing. There is no such thing as a 3D entity so enlightened as to avoid judgement."

I took your statement to mean that you see enlightenment not as a final state with no possibility of growth/learning, but rather as a process of ongoing evolution. And in that process, the entity (my word) "releases" judgment as the path moves forward, rather than having no judgment (of the negative variety) whatsoever.
