said someone the other day (being somewhat judgemental themselves in the process). But then who is not judgemental? Only those that lack self-awareness or are a cretin.

It’s the nature of the human beast that we observe and/or judge. We share a common planet and common resources so we need to judge in order to maintain a kind of balance between everyone’s opposing demands and so enjoy a modicum of harmony.

Despite that oft-quoted judge not etc, the Bible in fact frequently talks of judgement and judging. If we did not judge, there would be no framework for ‘observing’ good or bad behaviour. Take that argument a step further and, if we avoided judging, it would create instability and unrest.

So we do need to be more judgemental in the interests of balance and fairness. We need to judge those people who treat our British goodwill with so much greed and disdain.

We need to be more judgemental to stop builders concreting over England, for short-term profits, when there are hundreds of thousands of homes lying empty, and the land will suffer in the longer-term.

I’m aware that having strong beliefs means that even a passing comment can come across as lecturing. But what is lecturing? Is having an opinion lecturing? Or is it trying to force a view on someone?

And what triggered this off (this time!)? Seeing some tweets about sharing a washroom with someone who had changed sex.

Their tweets seemed to indicate it really bothered them though, presumably not to alienate their hefty following, they added that it must have taken guts to change sex.

Cue me butting my nose in!

“We have free will true but the soul chooses its incarnation pre-birth in my spiritual view so changing is ego-driven IMSO”, I opined in less than 140 characters.

Back came: “So probably their soul chose that route also. To be born one sex & then desire to switch to the other. Who knows?”

ME: Who knows indeed! But a clue is in the desire as spiritual gurus teach. If it starts from joy rather than pain it’s divine.

And that’s what triggered the judgement comment. That we could not know the divine plan for them (true) but to have an opinion was in effect to ‘impose’ one’s ‘judgement on them’. Yet we do, and should judge – up to a point.

I would not want to share a bathroom with a man who makes me feel uncomfortable, thank you very much, and even less so with a changed sex one as I have yet to meet one who doesn’t look like a man in drag, even any rare pretty ones. (Harvey was handsome but had a stubbly chin, for example, and muscular legs.)

So why should I put up and shut up just so they are comfortable instead? Like people running small bed and breakfasts who are hounded to bankruptcy by ‘gay rights’.

If they didn’t like coloured (sic) people, I wouldn’t want to stay there – and I wouldn’t get uppity about it. Unless it was the only place for miles, then I might appeal to their better natures for the night at least.

We all judge according to our comfort levels and, it is my spiritual view – I repeat, my spiritual view – that the soul is sent a challenge and the only way to know if it is divine or not is by ‘surrendering’. If there is acceptance in that surrender, they will discover their real soul purpose. Perhaps these ultra-masculine men need to discover their nurturing side and not their vain, primping one. The former sounds a lot more of a spiritual exercise than the latter.

No, I didn’t expound further as the tweets to me were deleted. Sulky! Then came other tweets re listening if they inspired. If they ‘lectured’, they would turn deaf. Then came a priceless one: “We tend to be too judgmental about others until that situation we judge becomes our own experience. Probably to jolt us to reform?” What was that about self-awareness? Further tweets followed about not wanting to be lectured and discovering their own path etc etc.

Now that I do agree with. In all my books, I offer information with the caveat that we use it as we need or dismiss it if it does not resonate with our truth. What made me laugh in this instance is the tweeter regularly preach- tweets in a kind of evangelical way, so nose and out of joint sprang to mind.

By the way, I do also agree that we feel differently about circumstances when something similar happens to us. Yet to change sex for personal comfort, for example, should not entail making others uncomfortable.

However, the many mansions etc spiritual concept, means that what we take from God does differ from person to person. At my particular vibration, I think the good of the whole comes before personal satisfaction (not that I always like this aspect!) . Thus when I mentioned to someone that I would never have paid for a drop kerb that caused disharmony for others, that is utterly true, however inconvenienced I may have been.

I’m not a saint (yeah you know) but I do strive to work on myself for the good of the whole and not just personal satisfaction. To qualify that latter statement, of course I have personal goals, but if achieving my personal goals caused disharmony for the larger group, I would be failing my inner God.

Ranting about benefits’ scroungers and assorted immigrants taking the piss with taxpayers’ goodwill is actually trying to flag that if we do not stop this excess then repressed anger will eventually erupt into something more serious – like an ultra-right-wing government. I still feel this is about to happen, if we are not careful.
