Judgment can seem necessary in a complex world of difficult decisions, dangerous people, and deceiving appearances. To get by, we may feel we must sharpen this skill and use it quickly and constantly as we respond to life’s many situations.
A Course in Miracles, however, urges us to relinquish this cherished right to judge. It calls judgment a “sword” and teaches that much of our pain, loneliness, and despair come from using it. The Course promises that letting go of judgment brings a freedom and happiness beyond belief.
Yet the subject of judgment raises many questions. What exactly is judgment? How do we let it go? Is judgment always inappropriate? And how can we make decisions without judging?
This book offers a clear and concise exploration of these questions, presenting the Course’s perspective on judgment in an accessible and practical way.
Topics include
The painful effects of judgment; judging the motives of others; the right use of judgment; the Last Judgment; and techniques for releasing judgment.
