The mind’s function is to judge ideas within the scope of right or wrong. That’s how the mind was designed to work and it does it very well. Anytime you’re judging something, you’re in your head not your heart about it. In other words, you’ve stepped out of your higher heart consciousness and are back into relying on the limited mind.

On our journey to awakening and allowing more and more of our Highselves to be present we receive the message to stop judging. It’s a vital part of our growth and so everyone encounters this important step at some time along his or her spiritual journey. The purpose is to stop identifying with the limited mind and thinking that you are just what you think with the mind and to embrace the unlimited spirit of who we all really are. Your shift of identity is a freewill act of consciousness. When your identity and therefore your consciousness is heart based you depend on limitless Knowingness. When your consciousness is mind based you depend on a very limited perspective that is based on various illusions of right/wrong and good/evil. The heart knows what the mind is not capable of understanding. There is so much more than the mind can begin to comprehend going on all around us all.

Your heart consciousness includes the mind but encompasses much more beyond that limitation. Knowingness comes from the heart consciousness and at first is experienced as flashes of intuition, as bits of knowledge that are not based on limited linear or random thinking. A very common experience of Knowingness is thinking of someone just before they telephone you. By nurturing and encouraging the heart consciousness to grow, you’re expanding your identity to that of your Highself and you come to fully live in the expression that you are a limitless being of Love and Light. Life becomes a series of beautifully loving synchronistic events unfolding just for you. And with your heart consciousness you perceive and Know it as being for your highest and best interest.

Nurturing our heart consciousness speeds up the process of awakening and our spiritual growth. Nothing could be more important. If your mind is resistant to relaxing then Guidance recommends making the daily discipline of formal meditations where the mind is emptied. This trains you to control the mind’s functions and teaches you to relax the mind, virtually emptying it so that you can focus on allowing your heart consciousness to be more and more fully present.

Once you’ve gotten that foundation the rest is a matter of walking it out in your daily life. To speed up your spiritual growth, every time you find yourself judging anything, especially yourself, take a deep breath, relax, empty the mind and remember who you really are. This allows you to get back into alignment with your heart consciousness. It becomes easier and easier the more you practice it during meditation. During your daily meditations you are training your mind to relax and empty itself. During your daily walking around you are training yourself to be in your heart consciousness.

Remember if you’re involved with a judgment you’re identifying with the limited mind aspect of yourself. When you’re in the flow of heart consciousness you allow the flow of abundance, well-being, Light and Love. You are shifting your identity from one of a limited mental perspective to the unlimited Knowingness of your Highself. You are shifting your life from one of pain and dis-ease to one of perfect harmony. This is the transformation, the awakening happening all around us on the planet today. Be in the flow of heart consciousness and enjoy the Love for you, through you and is you in every moment.
