Judgment comes from the emotional body, but it commonly manifests through the mind body as thoughts of "good" or "bad," "right" or "wrong," and so on. It is important to be able to distinguish between an emotional judgment and the discrimination or discernment of the intellect. We make decisions all day long, but a judgment has an emotional charge or investment in the situation. Therefore, we are not talking about a simple disagreement or a difference of opinion (though these thoughts may have a judgment at their basis), but rather an emotionally triggered reaction that produces stress in the physical body and constricts the mind body.
Emergence of the Divine Child
Rick Phillips
Older women have learned the importance of reasonable expectations. We know that all our desires will not be fulfilled, that the world isn’t organized around pleasing us and that others, especially our children, are not waiting for our opinions and judgments. We know that the joys and sorrows of life are as mixed together as salt and water in the sea. We don’t expect perfection or even relief from suffering. A good book, a piece of homemade pie or a call from a friend can make us happy. As my aunt Grace, who lived in the Ozarks, put it, “I get what I want, but I know what to want.”
The Joy of Being a Woman in Her 70s
Mary Pipher
When you ask: “Who am I?” you are trying to read yourself as if you were a simple sentence already written. Instead, you write yourself as you go along. The sentence that you recognize is only one of many probable variations. You and no other choose which experiences you want to actualize. You do this as spontaneously as you speak words. You take it for granted that a sentence begun will be finished. You are in the midst of speaking yourself.
