John 8

John 8 January 3, 2012

Removing the judgement of others and yourself will allow the breath of love to be.  When we judge others and ourselves we put poison in the tree of life. We weren’t brought here to judge. Judgement comes from our own creation. We create judgement. When we feel separate from the one.  That is our own responsibility. Judgement comes from not wanting to understand another. When you take responsibility for your life than you have discernment.  You are able to discern from a loving way.  You are able to understand, have compassion, and see clearly.

I love different stories of spiritual lessons. Here is one to sit with from the christian faith.  Read it, meditate on it, and see what comes up for you. There is a great lesson here.

John 8

1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Now early[a] in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, 4 they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught[b] in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses, in the law, commanded[c] us that such should be stoned.[d] But what do You say?”[e] 6 This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.[f]
7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up[g] and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” 8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience,[h] went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her,[i] “Woman, where are those accusers of yours?[j] Has no one condemned you?”
11 She said, “No one, Lord.”
And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and[k] sin no more.”
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Let us give up judgement, condemning ourselves and others.  For as light workers, we are here to give that paradigm up. Each of us has made mistakes (sin). Sin only means mistake. So someone makes a mistake, haven’t you too made mistakes. Forgive and move on.  Through discernment, you will know what to do. Because it comes from the heart not the head. It is funny that this takes place at MOUNT OLIVES. It is like extending an olive branch to another. 🙂
