Judgment Sparks Creative Inspiration
Each person is infused with spirit that is powerful, pure and capable of having a life experience independent of the reality that society has created for us. "Right" and "wrong" are only concepts of mind based on individual perception. The idea that anything ever goes "wrong" is self limiting and creates a sense of victimization. In reality, everything has always gone perfect given all thought that has come before.
The system of greed that currently runs our world requires our cooperation in order to sustain itself. That's why we are conditioned to support it through education, religion and media. But it has always been we who hold the power to free our minds and transform our world.
It's just a matter of clearing the fear-based beliefs that we need anything outside of ourselves to create a Joyful reality. From the mindset that we cannot live without something, our words, deeds, and thought based energy attracts disharmony.
We have the ability to judge whether we like anything or not and direct our focus accordingly so that we may experience the aspect of Self that is pure Joy aka Love aka Understanding - which is the driving force of our human existence. When we honor our own judgment and focus our thought energy on what we want, we harness the power of creation to fulfill our destiny. We only set ourselves on a one way train to mental anguish when we keep focusing on what we do not like, do not have or have not become.
Humans are the judges of the world, and we are constantly passing judgment about how things are. But when we do so with awareness, we transform judgment to acceptance and fear into inspiration.

Education or False Validation?
Our conditioning makes it very difficult for humans to understand that the only real attainment is finding our spirit and allowing that to be expressed through our experience.
Humans tend to be impressed by struggle and scholarly endurance because we have been conditioned to believe that our purpose in life is to be a productive member of society. Instead of learning from curiosity and wonder, we force ourselves to struggle through courses and subjects that are dry, boring, or not even remotely interesting in order to obtain a certificate that validates our intelligence and worth.
Understanding is not accomplished through struggle itself, but though our ability to overcome struggle.
Most of us believe that overcoming struggle is accomplished by enduring struggle to acquire knowledge. But in reality, the more struggle we endure, the more struggle we create. Our ability to learn is not meant to cause struggle, but to inspire a joyful journey of discovery, exploration and fulfillment of curiosity – all of which lead to understanding.
A degree is merely a symbol that we have attained the knowledge acceptable to society in a particular area of study. As long as we do not express understanding that contradicts the taught doctrines, that degree will remain valid, acceptable and society may even consider us an expert on the subject of our study.
Moreover, the one who earns a degree is easily tempted to believe their self to be more important or superior to other people. This is because other peoples’ perception of us gives credence to the self image that we have been creating ever since we developed the mental concept of self as separate from everything else. A degree provides a sense that we are revered by other people, and arrogance can easily become our dominant expression.
But when we learn from those who have gone before with the intent to understand - not for a degree or self importance - we can attain both worldly knowledge and our true Self. No degree can validate that which a person understands, and when we have understanding, no validation is necessary.
