We live in an illusory physical dimension of duality. Good, bad, right, or wrong do not exist; only our judgments can attribute such classifications to the things we live and experience here.

Things are what they are; they are not good or bad, right or wrong; all these classifications are attributes of our ego. Only from an egotistical perspective can we classify things, because only by judging can we achieve such a thing. Judgment is something created in our mind, in our ego, which analyzes what happens to us and attributes that classification. It is something that happens in a way that cannot be an absolute truth, since it is always derived from a limited perspective of the ego itself. For this reason, there can be no absolute truths for something created by our mind; if it were the opposite, we would all accept everything in the same way, without discussion or confrontation, without so many things that turn this planet into a permanent war of egos that causes so much suffering.

There are only two emotions: love and fear. They are opposite poles and can never be mixed; there is no love in fear, nor is there fear in love. They are like oil and water; we can try to mix them, but they always end up well separated. For these two emotions, there are countless feelings associated with them. In love, for example, we will have compassion, kindness, forgiveness, and understanding; in fear, almost everything else, starting with the ego's own judgments. Even the judgment that something is good comes from an emotion of fear, as it is something created by our ego. A judgment can never come from our hearts; for our hearts, truly everything is as it is; it just is. There is no good or bad; there is only being.

We are imperfect human beings without the total divine consciousness that we have as spiritual beings, which is what we truly are. We are souls wearing human suits, limited by our beliefs and all the garbage that has been ingrained in us since birth. What is right or wrong, good or bad, for something that is eternal? What is right or wrong, good or bad, for something created by God? Are we, as human beings, tiny grains of sand in an infinite universe, judging the Creator's role? And on top of that, making this judgment based on an ego that can only turn all the beauty of creation into a "rational" duality fueled by feelings of fear Who is the ego to say what is good, bad, right, or wrong? Where is the truth in something so limited and redundant?

What more can judgment bring than suffering? We live surrounded by a continuous lie: "This is how it is; that has to be like that." What really has to be like that? Is there anything that has to be like that just to be like that? Everything that is is because it is, not because it has to be.

Let's start questioning our judgments. Let's ask for help from our hearts, the organ that connects us to the Divine and is never wrong. Often we hear that we cannot trust our heart, that it only deceives us! To be rational. All limiting beliefs that we were made to believe, all egoic judgments from those who cannot yet accept that there is no good or bad, right or wrong! Everything is perfect and happens as it should; accepting this is being closer to God, to love, and moving away from the illusory suffering created by our mind. You will only be truly happy when you feel free. To be free, you have to free yourself from all the fear that conditions you, that judges you, and that only gives you a small perspective of reality. The path is in the heart, and the destination is unity with God.

Let us learn compassion, forgiveness, and all the good feelings that bring us closer to truth and unity, and let us leave behind the egoic judgments that only bring us so much suffering. Only love is real; all fear is an illusion. Look with the eyes of the heart and discover the divine within you!
