One souls life is another souls death. there are moments when you should and shouldn't judge. “My young anteater, we’re really feeding on the ‘energy’ of six legged be-ings as they scurry away from our sticky tongues. Sluurrrp! Even our lifespan is chewed away by the lions and hyenas that have us on their menu. Anything less would make us ignore-ant. ‘Reality’ is a giant savanna of continual conflict and peace, appearing both serene and chaotic by nature.” Look into how we judge… here on the savanna, is this a time of astounding ignorance, or is it a time of awakening and clarity? It is neither. The truth is that it’s always been the same. There are times when you absolutely should judge. “And so it is that one souls life is another souls death.” “So... how is it that one souls life is another souls death?” “Who is the predator and who is the prey?” There are moments when it’s best not to judge. You see, a predator is not a ‘bad’ thing. There’s a place for everything. Now, if I was born a predator, I chose to come that way. So I look at myself and say, “At least I'm street-smart”. And as a predator, I know how other predators function. On the other side, being prey isn’t bad either. It’s only unfortunate when prey or predator goes too far, puts too much distance between the Absolute and relative. Then the balance on the savanna is challenged, and pain turns to suffering. As an animal we know the landscape always comes back into balance. Man-eaters don’t last long. The animals talk about it, they know and warn each other, “Don't be a man-eater”. They're smart… as you are what you eat, whether in the flesh of ‘body’ or ‘soul’. The act of judging serves a purpose. As the twin inferno phoenix flies, I am free of worry and at peace right now. “Most animals don’t worry about when you should judge and when you shouldn’t judge.” “Oh, and if ‘judgment’ fits into the savanna... at all.” When you unlearn all, you’re in the savanna where attachment to life and death aren’t invited to drink. Under the stars and sun we understand the nature of duality. “You’ve chosen to go on a safari where ‘life and death’ are but passing spectacles.” If you speak Zebra, click here Subscribe Sign up with your email address to receive news and updates.
