Judgment vs. Preference: Cease to Invalidate

CORE-018 Beginner · B
Judgment is invalidating that which you do not prefer. Whenever you judge anything, by focusing your attention on it, you exchange energies with it, and so you 'become' that vibration. So you automatically become the very thing you disapprove of. You become that which you invalidate. Preference, on the other hand, is not judgment. Preference is exercising your ability to discern what is really 'you', what excites you, and then making choices aligned with the real 'you'. To prefer one thing does not necessitate invalidating those other things you do not prefer. So the recommendation is: Select what you prefer, WITHOUT judging (invalidating) what you do NOT prefer. You become whatever you focus your attention on. To assign any meaning to anything - either a positive meaning or a negative meaning - is to invite that into your life. Being neutral about something - assigning it no meaning - is the way to not attract that reality into your life.
