Authenticity Rules

When I am finding fault with something or someone, I am aligning myself energetically with whatever it is I’m thinking. The degree to which I am projecting negativity onto someone or something is the degree to which I am cultivating a toxic cellular garden inside myself. My subconscious mind doesn’t differentiate between me, and another, and so it interprets what I’m thinking or saying to be about myself. Since my subconscious mind is basically the mind, which determines my self-esteem, being judgmental can never be very beneficial to my well being.

There is a healthy way to make choices in life and I do have preferences, so discernment is appropriate and necessary. But judging is another story. There is nothing toxic about discernment and making decisions based on my preferences. It is the unnecessary involvement in things, which are none of my business, and of which I can do nothing about, that causes the problems. When I judge others, if I’m completely honest, it is usually when I’m not feeling very good about myself and making a judgment about another temporarily makes my ego feel superior. However, the kick is fleeting and strengthening my ego is not what I’m after. Authenticity comes from being honest with myself and expressing that honesty. When I find myself judging another, I know it is a fruitless and harmful endeavor no matter how good it feels to my ego. I like to keep that aspect of me in its proper place. Authenticity is my master.
