"...when you condemn something, you enter into relationship with it. Your condemnation bonds you to it. Condemn evil and you will be bonded to evil. Condemn a form of ignorance and you will be bonded to it. If you do not want to be bonded to those influences that are holding you back or clouding your vision or disabling you from gaining access to your own inner resources, then do not use condemnation. Emotion, whether it be love or hate or avoidance, always bonds you to the thing you are responding to. If you hate another person, hate will bond you to that person. If you love a person, love will bond you to that person. Love is the preferred bond, but in many cases you may not want to be bonded to the person at all.That is why condemnation is so inappropriate. Condemnation also disables you from gaining access to what you know, so it has a double liability. It bonds you to that from which you are trying to separate yourself, and it clouds your vision and disables you from gaining access to what you know." [1]
"God realizes that without Knowledge, without an awareness of the greater intelligence that the Creator has placed within all human minds and hearts, people will act selfishly, foolishly and destructively. They will act without wisdom, without foresight and without accountability. Yet there is no condemnation here. God knows that humanity is not developed enough, is not wise enough and is not advanced enough to be able to purely maintain the intent of each of the world’s great traditions. Therefore, the idea of punishment has no basis here."
