So since we're on the topic, a big issue (for me, relatively speaking) is being judgmental. I see this as a problem because the type of judgment I speak of is the opposite of love.
At this present stage, I don't feel I am judgmental of any polarity, nor those sleeping. I've gotten a ton better at letting go of judging many things.
However, I seem to have great difficulty with those who are awakened, and come to me for advice/guidance, and agree with me the concepts to practice...And then repeatedly, in front of me, go about life ignoring the concepts....drives me crazy...I get sooo judgmental when that happens...it's interrelated to my sense of perfectionism I think.
That situation happened earlier today. I was annoyed because this was like the tenth time the person was purposely pushing a point trying to be "right" in a conversation (about art too lol..I was trying to leave at everyone has different opinions!!). The subject matter of which those being "right" conversations are probably something to avoid as it seems to involve ego/superiority, to which this person had previously repeatedly agreed.
I lost it (for me, which shows up as annoyance usually), and basically told the person how they are failing to apply those concepts we talked about, but I said it not with an open heart, cause I was pretty annoyed.. the person tells me that I'm too judgmental (of course the person knows my issues because when someone has a spiritual discussion to me, I like to tell my own issues as examples but is also true!)....sigh!
I need to work on my acceptance...I probably should have brought in crown energy and released energy through my feet to calm my annoyance..I think I posted about this in another thread a few months/weeks ago...basically when someone comes to you for spiritual advice repeatedly, agrees with the advice, then ignores it, all the while doing something to upsets you ("right" conversations), man that s*** is some catalyst for real..:/
