Accepting Others for Who They Are

This part of my spiritual work has been difficult for me and it surrounds the issue of judgment of others. Because of my emotional and abuse history, it is my way of coping with being a victim for most of my life.  I strike back at others who have abused me, betrayed me, and hurt me.  When I judge others, I perceived myself as stronger than I really was, because I felt weak, vulnerable, and timid.

Since practicing emotional release and ego release work, my self esteem has improved significantly, and my ego no longer creates the fear that others can injure and hurt me.  This combination of emotional/spiritual work is allowing me to feel the strength within and eliminated the fears causing me to use judgment to feel strength and power.

Slowly with each day, I am letting go of my need to judge, criticize and assume the worst about others.  I accept that when someone does something that may be perceived as hurtful, it is because this is what they know as normal for them, and not done intentionally to hurt me. It is where they are in their emotional growth, and the constitution of their emotional landscape.  This is nether good nor bad, but merely just facts before us.

When we attribute good or bad to these facts, it is our ego and own hurt within that causes this judgment.  Therefore, when we judge others, it is because we judge ourselves through our own lenses of experience, and from our own hurt within.
