Good day, friends! Question from Elena: I was in Church, talked to Father, he told me that I should stop judging other people, he told me to pray for this. After that, I myself began to notice that I constantly judge others, even when I am alone, and this really bothers me. Help, tell me how to stop judging others?
I’ll say right away that bad habit Almost all people suffer from judging others, or themselves. Just the degree is different for everyone. Some people live only by grinding other people's bones and derive malicious pleasure from it. As a rule, this is the only thing that gives them their unclean joy.
The roots of condemning others grow from his wounded Ego and unfinished work. And the higher a person’s degree, the more prone he is to arrogant judgment of others. Let's look at the definitions and root causes of this vile sin.
What is judging other people? Esoteric reasons
Judging others – a negative habit and the undeserved right to arrogantly judge others for their shortcomings, while not seeing the merits of people and the Good in their souls.
The main motive why a person condemns others is self-affirmation, the desire to elevate himself by belittling (humiliating) others (that is, to raise his self-esteem by lowering the value of other people). To make this easier, the judge prefers to ignore the merits of other people and magnify their shortcomings as much as possible.
But such an approach to raising one’s self-esteem (at the expense of humiliating others) always leads to deep internal dissatisfaction, justification for one’s shortcomings, and an increase in internal anger. This inevitably leads a person to a dead end. life situation when someone who condemns others cannot change anything in his own destiny for the better.
To get rid of the habit of condemning, judging others, you need to understand and remove the internal root causes of condemnation.
Esoteric root causes of condemnation of people:
- Ego and pride. When one person considers himself smarter and better than others, he gives himself the right to judge everyone. It is arrogant to criticize and judge their deeds as if he were a god. But such criticism is never constructive, fair and fruitful, it does not create anything good, does not eliminate shortcomings, but only strengthens and feeds mutual negativity (generates evil).
- (the underside of pride). When a person has low self-esteem, instead of strengthening it, he tries to belittle the dignity of other people, going over and exaggerating their shortcomings and weaknesses. But this strengthens in him negative attitude towards people and the inability to see the good in them. Judging others always destroys positive connections with people and bright feelings towards them (love, respect, gratitude, devotion, friendship), and accordingly destroys relationships.
- Dislike of people (lack of kindness in the heart) and others. There are people who are negative in their essence (dark souls), and the only source of joy for such people is gloating, dark joy from the humiliation, condemnation and suffering of other people. such people are dead, dry and bitter, so they are not able to be kind, experience pure joy and love. What made their heart this way? There are many reasons. One of the main ones is accumulated unresolved issues on others, on oneself, on fate.
Judging others. Additional definitions and explanations
IN sermon on the mount Jesus said: “And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not feel the beam in your own eye?...You hypocrite! First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Other words of Christ: “Judge not, lest ye be judged.”
Everyone has shortcomings, and it is much easier to judge others for their weaknesses than to work on yourself to get rid of your own. We need to understand the following: if we judge other people for their sins, it will never make us and our lives better!
And the one who knows from his own experience how difficult it is to get rid of his shortcomings and weaknesses will not judge others for their sins, but will wish them Good in working on them.
Good Quotes for thought:
People, having neither the power nor the competence to do so, condemn sinners both verbally and mentally. While only he can condemn, pass a sentence and carry it out. When we condemn a person, we usurp the rights of God. “Who are you who judges another?” - says the Apostle Paul. God alone can justify or condemn someone. We people must learn to “see our sins and not condemn our brother.”
Condemnation is a demonic state. The first one to fall into this was the devil himself. The devil condemned and slandered God before the ancestors, and then began to teach condemnation of people.
Of course, there are quite advanced cases when a person is literally like an automaton, like a zombie, for whom condemnation of others and gloating have become the way and meaning of life, and he, like a drug addict, can no longer live without it. In such cases, as a rule, there is an incorporation of entities and the person no longer controls himself. You can't do without good help here.
And in other cases, you can overcome the habit of judging by working on yourself on your own or with.
People judge others because they have no self-esteem and little kindness in their hearts.
- Start with your attitude , with kindness towards yourself, with the ability to see, accept and appreciate your strengths. Next you need to learn to see and accept the good (virtues) in other people. If a person truly respects himself, loves and values his Soul, he has no need to belittle the dignity of others in order to rise above them. Study and work on the articles in the section.
- Ask yourself: why, why, why am I condemning this person? Write down all the answers that come to your mind. Analyze the reasons for condemnation: envy, resentment and revenge, low self-esteem or pride, hatred of people (desire for evil), etc. If you understand the individual internal reasons, it will be clearer to you what you need to work with. You will find a fairly large set of practices for working on yourself on the page.
- How to fight the very habit of judging others and what to replace it with.
- When you are tempted to judge others and wash their bones, immediately take a piece of paper, a pencil, and begin to write down, separated by commas, your shortcomings, weaknesses, sins, failures that prevent you from living and which you would like to overcome in yourself. This will direct your attention, mind, potential and will into a creative direction, into working on yourself! :)
- The next step is to write down all the positive qualities and achievements that you want to replace your shortcomings and failures with!
- The third step is to write down those people from whom you can learn the virtues and achievements recorded in the previous paragraph.
This exercise will make you better and kinder, you will learn to respect other people more, appreciate them for their merits, wean you from the habit of judging others, directing your attention to your own development!

Of course, situations often arise when a person deserves condemnation. Yours? This is not an idle question.
There are no good or bad people
A very strong imbalance is judgment of other people, and especially contempt.
From the point of view of nature, good or bad people can not be. There are only those who obey the laws of nature, and those who bring disturbance to the existing “status quo”. The latter always end up being affected by forces that tend to restore the disturbed balance.
Of course, situations often arise when a person deserves condemnation. Yours? This is not an idle question.
If a person has harmed you, then first of all he has upset the balance, and you are not a source of unhealthy potential, but an instrument of forces seeking to restore balance. Then the troublemaker will get what he deserves if you say everything you think about him, or even take certain actions within reasonable limits. But if the subject of your condemnation did not specifically do anything bad to you, then it is not for you to blame him.
Let's approach this issue purely mercantilely. Agree, it is completely pointless to feel hatred for a wolf who killed a sheep when you watch it on TV. The sense of justice constantly pushes us towards condemnation different people. However, this quickly becomes a habit, and many people turn into professional accusers over the years. This is very bad habit, condemn others for thoughts and actions that are not directed against you personally. In most cases, you have no idea what motivated the person to do what they did. Maybe in his place you would have done even worse?
So, as a result of your condemnation, you create excess potential around himself. But of course, it turns out that no matter how bad your defendant is, you yourself must be just as good. Since he has horns and hooves, then you must be an angel. Well, since your wings do not grow, forces come into play trying to restore balance. The methods of these forces will be different in each specific situation. But the result will be essentially the same: you'll get a punch on the nose. Depending on the strength and form of your condemnation, this click may either be unnoticeable to you, or so strong that you will find yourself on one of the worst lines of life.
You can make up your own long list types of condemnation and their consequences, but I will give a few examples for clarity.
Never despise people, no matter what. This is the most dangerous look condemnation, because as a result of the action of balancing forces, you may find yourself in the place of the one you despise. This is the most direct and easiest way for the forces to restore balance.
Do you despise beggars and homeless people? You yourself can lose your money and your house, so the balance has been restored.
Do you despise people with physical disabilities? No problem, there will be an accident for you.
Do you despise alcoholics and drug addicts? You could easily find yourself in their place. After all, people are not born like this, but become like this due to various life circumstances. So why should these circumstances pass you by?
Never judge your work colleagues for anything. At best, you will make the same mistakes. At worst, a conflict may arise that will not bring you anything good. You can get fired from work, even if you are absolutely right.
If you judge another person just because you don’t like the way he’s dressed, you yourself become one step lower on the good-bad ladder because you radiate negative energy.
If a person is proud of his successes, or is in love with himself (and this too), there is nothing wrong with that. Irrelevant self-love is self-sufficient, so it does not bother anyone. The balance is disturbed only if inflated self-esteem is contrasted with a contemptuous attitude towards other people's weaknesses, shortcomings, or simply modest achievements. Then self-love turns into pride, and pride into vanity. The result of the action of equilibrium forces, again, will be a click on the nose.
Contempt and vanity are human vices. Animals don't know what it is. They are guided only by expedient intentions, and thereby fulfill the will of perfect nature.
It is only in fairy tales that animals are depicted as endowed human qualities. Let's take a proud, lonely and free wolf. He, from a human point of view, inspires respect. But the fat-cheeked rodent loves to fill its belly, squeal merrily and multiply. If a wolf had arrogant contempt for a rodent, it would be unnatural and absurd.
Let's turn the picture to the other side. Such a wolf could be considered insignificant compared to this plump rodent, which fussily scurries around and rejoices at every moment of its life, although at any such moment it can be eaten.
Everything is relative, but man creates this relativity in his imagination. The lion actually has no greatness or dignity. These qualities are attributed to him by people. The gopher has no less dignity than a lion.
Wild nature is more perfect than a reasonable person. The wolf, like any predator, feels neither hatred nor contempt for its prey. (Try to experience hatred and contempt for the cutlet yourself.) But people build their relationships with each other on sheer excess potential.
The greatness of animals and plants lies in the fact that they are not aware of it. Consciousness has brought to man both beneficial advantages and harmful rubbish such as vanity, contempt, guilt complex and inferiority. published
Vadim Zeland
Judging another is always wrong, because no one can ever know what happened and is happening in the soul of the one you condemn.
Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy
Everyone knows the biblical commandment “Do not judge and you will not be judged,” but at the same time they continue condemn. And for some, gossip is Lifestyle.
If you consider yourself a conscious person and periodically burst into judgment, read the article and find out how such behavior affects your life and spiritual development.
Bonus for readers:
He who constantly judges the actions of people has unresolved problems which he hides from himself. It’s easier to gossip about others than to understand your own cockroaches.
Let's figure out what's behind the condemnation.
Judging other people and their behavior. What's behind this?
Misunderstanding
“Judgment is when you don't know why a person did something
how he acted, but you still try to attribute it to him
motives invented by you.”
Mark Gungor
A person judges because of misunderstanding. This is either not in his picture of the world, or he is speculating.
If this process involves negative emotions , then in the future this threatens that he himself will find himself in a similar situation, ending up in the place of the one he condemned.
From the point of view of religion, in the traditional understanding, it is believed that this is a punishment for condemnation and slander.
For example, a person condemns someone for being greedy. He says in his hearts: “I don’t understand how you can be so greedy?!”
If he exclaims this more than once, into the Universe a request is sent: “I don't understand this behavior. Explain, help.”
The Universe takes everything literally. She will not leave you unanswered, especially if this request is repeated many times.
This means that the person needs to be helped to understand. How to explain?
Just by giving him experience a situation he doesn't understand. And he puts him in a situation where he himself shows greed, so that he feels it from the inside.
Let's draw an analogy with raising children. When we explain to a child that you can’t do this: you can’t throw stones at birds, it hurts them.
What we say: “Imagine if someone threw a stone at you...”
Or we give an example when the baby was in pain: “Remember, you fell and it hurt, you cried. That hurts the bird too.” We suggest you remember similar sensations.
The Universe cannot tell us that, it simply puts us in a similar situation, only now we are in the role of the one who was condemned.
Question: Do we need to know why someone does what they do? Why are we busy with other people's lives and not with ourselves?
Yes, the man acted strangely. It's strange for us because we don't see the whole picture. For some, we also act strangely.
Maybe it's better to take care of your life? Have we solved all our problems and started discussing other people’s?
Envy
Another reason for judging other people is envy of some quality or success. A person himself would like to have this, but here a friend can do it so easily.
He begins to look for flaws and find fault. In some cases, even gloat if you notice a mistake or learn about a failure in some matter.
Ask yourself what someone else has that you would like to have.
A classic example is the poor condemning the rich: “Where did he get so much money?”, “There is nowhere to earn that kind of money. I stole!” , “I chased after a long ruble, it didn’t work out, the wings were broken. Now you won’t stick your neck out!” (Phrases from real life of people)
Self denial
A person judges others when doesn't accept himself. It happens that people make fun of some specific actions or traits of others.
This occurs due to dissatisfaction with life, when a person considers himself a failure, a nonentity.
Such people are especially annoying success and happiness of others.
Pride and a sense of superiority
“If you suddenly want to judge someone, remember that not all people in the world have the advantages that you had.”
Francis Scott Fitzgerald. The Great Gatsby
Pride and a sense of superiority also arise due to self-denial. But here a person finds something in himself that he did better, and condemns those people who do not have it.
A person, with his achievements, covers up what he does not accept and rejects in himself. And as a result - superiority over others.
What are you hiding from yourself? Why did you decide that you are better than others?
The same example with rich and poor, but in reverse. The rich despise the poor. Some wealthy people boast of their wealth because they have nothing else to be proud of.
There is such a thing as “spiritual pride”. This is the scourge of spiritually developing people and lightworkers.
Many of them, at a certain stage of growth, fall into this trap when they begin to consider themselves smarter, better, more worthy, because they know something that is inaccessible to the majority of people.
I hope this has passed you by...
What happens when you judge
What you send is what you receive
If you look from the energy side, by judging, you send negative energy outward, into the human field.
If a person is energetically protected (he doesn’t judge anyone, he lives according to the laws of the Universe), this energy will return to you in an increased form.
And if you have small children, then they will get it first. Because they are not yet able to defend themselves. They live off your energy field.
In any case, what you sent out will return to you.
And if you have already embarked on the path of awareness, then the return will be stronger. Because the law of similarity comes into force: what you sent is what you received.
This destructive energy returns in the form of fatigue, illness, and unpleasant events.
Go through a flash mob and learn to live in harmony with the Universe.
Spiritual instruments stop working
By falling into condemnation, you slow down spiritual growth, you find yourself in a 3-D world.
The opportunities you've learned to see as a creator are closing. You simply don't notice them.
Spiritual tools stop working. You can only solve problems using three-dimensional methods (which slows down getting results), because the connection with the spirit is blocked.
You develop an addiction to judgment.
Condemnation and gossip create addiction. The more you judge, the more you plunge into these destructive vibrations and the more often you want to experience these feelings.
You get a certain boost. But it's energy Low quality, which damages your aura.
Over time, the energy field weakens, its protective properties decrease, and then physical ailments and diseases appear.
Even if you regularly diagnose and restore your aura, judgment undoes all the work.
Remember the popular saying “to be friends against someone.” When two friends discuss a third. The purpose of such “friendship” is to exchange gossip.
Or grandmothers sitting on a bench and condemning the government and neighbors. This obviously does not improve their health, but the habit of gossiping gives them the energy they lack.
You're getting into trouble
When you are busy discussing someone else's life, you are out of your inner center. You put the personal affairs of those around you higher than own.
The loving Universe begins to attract your attention by pressing the red buttons.
Starting with little things, and depending on your reaction, throws up more difficult situations and problems to turn your attention to yourself, for your life, to the center.
Let me give you an example from the life of a friend.
A woman loves her family very much and is fully realized in it. She likes the role of wife, mother, homemaker.
But at the same time she loves to gossip. A significant part of the thought process is occupied by digesting events from the lives of neighbors, girlfriends, and colleagues.
When she gets too carried away with other people’s affairs, the Universe creates unpleasant event- in the form of a refrigerator breakdown.
If this doesn't help, something more serious is going on. If it doesn't work, a third problem happens - her husband gets sick.
The well-being of the family is her red button.
The goal is achieved - the woman returns to her center, switches to the role of wife, caretaker of her family.
One more example.
A person who is successful in his profession constantly criticizes the actions of his employees. Instead of taking care of your own life.
As a result, he himself finds himself in a situation where he is forced to confirm his professionalism. Loses a job, the family is left without a regular income. A person stops interfering in other people's affairs because he is busy with his own.
From a spiritual point of view, this is not a punishment for condemnation. The Universe thus returns a person to himself. Turns him 180 degrees so that he draws attention to himself.
If you have decided to lead conscious life, living according to spiritual laws does not mean that you will immediately give up judgment.
It is not so easy to eradicate this habit. When you fall into the matrix, you return to your old thinking.
But if you value the results you've gained on your path to spiritual enlightenment, you won't let judgment bring you back.
