Judgment

Practice with this motifPractice
Definition

The process of perception that selects, compares, and evaluates: a habit of the separated mind that is incompatible with vision and that rests always on the false premise that the past determines reality.

Arc in Brief

Judgment starts as the ego’s habit of ranking and condemning, and it ends as a willingness to let the Holy Spirit replace every verdict with vision.
