A Spiritual Perspective on the Concept of Judging

What we believe about life is entirely dependent on how we see God. Theory one of the existence states that Supreme Being is a sovereign and we are topics to him. This theory of life states that we are all separate from everything else in existence, seen and unseen. Theory two of the existence states that Supreme Being is an infinite beginning of energy and intelligence and we are entirely made up of that same energy and intelligence. This theory of life states that we are all 1 with our beginning and because everything that exists, seen and unseen, is made up of beginning energy, we are all 1 with everything in existence.

Most of the human race have been conditioned to believe in the conception that we are all separate from each other and everything in being which aligns with theory one. We are going to look at the conception of judgment through the position of theory 1 to derive a better apprehension about why we be given to justice the people, events and experiences of our lives.

Theory one states us that whether you travel to Heaven or Perdition is determined by how Supreme Being Judges the manner you lived your life on earth. Theory One states that when you decease you will travel before God's appointive legal counsel, Saint Peter, and he will make a reappraisal of your life to see if you were basically good or if you allow the Satan allure you into doing a batch of bad stuff. Supreme Being finds what is good and bad and Judges you accordingly. Some of your life actions are cut and dried. If you kill somebody, that action is judged to be bad and you are certain to travel to Hell, even if you take an otherwise model life. But some of your life actions are borderline, so it's up to Supreme Being to arbitrarily justice those actions as good or bad. Supreme Being cognizes the ultimate regulations and we don't. We are separate from God. A batch of this finding procedure is just a substance of tallying up your sins. Of course of study all sinfulnesses are bad, but some aren't as bad as others. Person sinfulnesses are really bad while venial sinfulnesses aren't quite as bad. Supreme Being cognizes for certain but we don't.

After your sinfulnesses have got been tabulated and your life have been reviewed, you are then judged. You are either accepted into Heaven or you are condemned to Hell. There is no entreaty process. Heaven or Hell. Supreme Being can make this because he is the sovereign and we are his subjects. He is Supreme Being and we are not. We are separate from God.

However, being God's subjects, we look to him as an illustration of how we should dwell our lives here on earth. Since Supreme Being acquires to justice us at the clip of our death, then it looks perfectly all right for us to justice our lives while we are here on earth. Since we are our ain physical thing and separate from all other things, it is up to us to justice what profits us and what makes not. Not only should we judge the people and fortune of our lives but, just as Supreme Being does, we should be able to accept them or reprobate them.

So just like God, we put up our ain criteria of what works and what makes not. What is acceptable and what is condemnable. Some of our criteria are obvious, sort of like the Ten Commandments. Others are arbitrary, depending on our tempers or circumstances. But mostly our criteria are not put in rock like the commandments of God. This lets for a certain amount of flexibleness when applying our criteria to unknown situations.

Typically our codification of criteria reflects our ain life circumstances. If you are born into a household that have got a batch of money, you may accept that as a good thing, and typically you might judge people who don't have a batch of money as not quite as good as you. Whereas people who have got a batch more money than you might be judged to be better than you. If you are tall and slim, you might accept that as your criterion of good and you might judge people who are short and fat to be not as good as you. You may even travel so far as to reprobate them for not being up to your standards.

These are just examples. I'm sure that you can believe of many more, such as as educated versus illiterate, achromatic versus white, barefaced versus hairy, and the grandfather of them all-male versus female. It's easy to do judgements because you are a separate entity. You are who you are and you are not them. They, out there, are separate from you. You have got to look out for Number One. It's survival of the fittest.

This arbitrary scene of criteria makes not use just to individuals. It also uses to groupings of people and big communities of people, such as as states or nations.

As we put criteria for ourselves, we get to recognize that there are many other people who have got similar criteria and by banding together with these people in a common bond, we develop more than powerfulness for our peculiar standards. Examples of such as behaviour can be seen in spiritual groups, political parties, labour unions, racial groups, state clubs, sewing circles, fraternal organizations, etc. We happen strength in Numbers and we have got discovered that if we set together we are better able to exercise our will, or our standards, on people or groupings of people who don't necessarily believe in our standards.

This inclination attains the prototype of grouping behaviour when we set together as states of the world. As a state we are able to put national criteria that supposedly reflect the overall values of the corporate of people within that nation. Nations include diverse people, sentiments and standards. We have got devised systems of authorities to command the ascendant criterion or, in other words, express the corporate subject that the bulk of the people wishings to utilize as a standard.

Governments can be composed of a sovereign system with a king, or a aggregation of monarchs, like the authorities of the United States. The theory is that the people governing volition reflect the corporate volition of all the people and go through laws and regulations accordingly. They will protect our freedom because lone by having our individual freedom make we let the authorities to exist. We anticipate our authorities to support our freedom, even if it intends going to warfare and violent death one one thousands of people in our folk and thousands in other tribes. We can make this because we judge our system to be better, and if any other grouping of people endangers us and our manner of life, our very freedom, we will judge them to be unworthy of life and will kill them to support ourselves and our freedom. So aid us God. You see, your state of people is separate from our state of people. We are us, you are not. We are separate from you. Once again, the law of endurance of the fittest applies.

Now you must inquire yourself this question, "Does this function me?" Only you can reply this inquiry for yourself. If the paradigm of life that states we are all separate makes not look to function you then you are at pick point. You can take to look at life from another perspective. You may take to analyze life from the conception that we are all 1 with the beginning of our existence.

It is your choice.
