%ACCEPTING JUDGEMENT-II 770305
Love casts out the fear of judgement and enables self
to decline to accept coercive guilt offered by judges.
Love empowers people to decline to reject self and others
because of coercive judgments. In the spirit of love,
alienative judgments are set aside, and the natural
problems created by mistakes are described and resolved in
as loving way as possible. Love makes confessions
possible and so facilitates learning from each other's
personal mistakes, successes, joys, pleasures, pains,
frustrations, doubts, fears, hopes, faith, and love.
Judgments block personal confessions and so block helpful
learning. Guides to living are thus cut off from their
personal origins, lose their humane spirit, and evolve
into legalistic systems which form the basis for future
coercive judgments.
Because judgments block confessions, personal
experiences which might otherwise reveal the maladaptive
nature of a given legalistic system --- are repressed; and
thus the legalistic system makes its victims unable to
reject it, and unable to adapt to a changing environment.
Ultimately the changing environment passes judgment upon
the legalistic system --- through its victims' inability
to adapt to change.
Judgment promotes alienation when it is exclusive in
nature. Judgement can be an affirmative act which is
inclusive in nature. When love motivates judgment it can
act to promote reconciliation, but not through the use of
techniques in the way of the legalists. Love's judgments
act through affirmations which reveal the impotence of
that which is judged. Love puts forth options and
opportunities which by comparison are so attractive as to
make that which is judged seem undesirable. Thus love
promotes freedom of choice by widening the horizon of
opportunities, rather than by passing laws which narrow
the range of options open. Love promotes wise behavior by
spreading a banquet of desirable possibilities, rather
than by causing vision to be narrowed to a perception of
prescribed behavior which has received technical approval.
Love accepts the judgment of the free self --- to whom a
spectrum of realistic/desirable possibilities has been
presented. Love does not fear that judgment, and works to
promote communal and personal integrity through it and its
natural consequence.
