Since we can never really know the intention, nor the motivation of others, and since our knowledge of the full scope of what is going on in a particular person’s life is incomplete, let us go forward with an open mind toward’s what’s unfolding there. We are filled with our own sense of right and wrong, good and bad, acceptable and unacceptable, and this can lead to exclusion and negativity and downright hatred of others. 

Judgement is different from discernment. Judgement wields the gavel knock on the desk of finality.  It is the sound of the book closing its cover, the lock turning the key in the prison of no return. It can be a life sentence for someone to be held away from you, who simple views life differently, or who has a different color of skin. It is the sound of a noose tightening around a neck or a knee bearing down on a throat, gasping for air. It is the muffled sound of a voice saying, “I can’t breathe.” It is the stuff of racism, white privilege, and deeply held bias, programmed and fueled by a culture gone wrong. 

Discernment here, is a choice to bring Divine Intelligence to bear on a person, a situation, or an issue confronting you, which at first, poses ambiguity. It is the ‘caution sign’ in your mind that says, ‘hold on, slow down, turn inward’ before coming to a conclusion or moving ahead  on what to do. Discernment brings the Whole of the Transcendent Mindset to bear on the situation at hand. It is intelligence, wisdom, and right knowing. It is fueled by love, and what is best for you and for the Whole.   

I am here within to guide you in discerning how living love would have you live. Living love is the light and the transforming power that brings God’s meaning to the world. We are not talking here of some small change that warms your heart toward another, though indeed, it will do that.  We are talking here of a power that can change the world by healing the hatred and the harshness towards others, and being inclusive of All. When you turn within to Me, I stand at the threshold of opening the door to this magnificent and transforming power within, the truth of you, and the truth of God.  Ask Me in, and I will open the flood gates of this living love for you. This is not something you can do on your own using the mindset of separation,  no matter how hard you try, for this Living Love is a joined with Source power only and always, joined with God, for it is God’s meaning.  

Forgo judgement, dear one, and open up to Me and to discerning wisely, God’s truth for you. We are in it together all the way!  I love you dearly, and know that you are never alone.
