"Look around you at others, and their striving, their desperation, and the lack of depth and meaning that they demonstrate. People around you will teach you the results of living life without Knowledge. In countless ways they will demonstrate this. So do not be in judgment of them. Do not condemn them, for they are teaching you to value your own integrity.

"Look around you at others, and their striving, their desperation, and the lack of depth and meaning that they demonstrate. People around you will teach you the results of living life without Knowledge. In countless ways they will demonstrate this. So do not be in judgment of them. Do not condemn them, for they are teaching you to value your own integrity. They are demonstrating that nothing else will satisfy this or take its place." [1]
"Much of what holds people back in life is their unresolved feelings and judgments regarding their relationships, even relationships in the distant past. These feelings and judgments act as a kind of dam, holding people’s feelings back, arresting them in place, influencing their perception of other people and disabling them from being able to be emotionally open and accessible to their children and to other people." [2]
Directives
"Listen to others so that you may experience yourself listening, for it is not your task to judge the world or to determine where and how your gifts should be given. It is your task to experience yourself in life and to allow Knowledge to arise, for Knowledge will give itself when and where it is appropriate. This allows you to have peace, for you are not trying to control the world." [3]
Judgment of the World
"Be without judgment of the world. If the world were a perfect place, you would not need to come here. If the world were a place that functioned harmoniously, without friction or conflict, this would not be the place for you. The world represents all aspects of the human condition, from the highest to the lowest." [4]
