RE: Is Everything Blindly About Balance?
Judgment is synonymous with evaluation, diagnosis, discernment. You judge every single day of your life. Everyone does. This is another thing that gets misrepresented ;)
Actually, it is possible to carefully pick through and understand all thoughtforms being held, removing/clearing/releasing all judgements. I have consciously and knowingly released 1000s over the last 15 years since I started. Releasing judgements frees up energy and creates space for change. The example of scary dogs is a clear one. The judgement is that 'Dogs are scary' when in fact the truth is that 'i once felt fear when a dog jumped at me' - you can see how the two thought structures could be judged to mean the same thing, but in fact they do not. the judgement 'dogs are scary' takes an experience and packages it into a blanket statement which applies to every other dog and possible interaction with dogs - which is a misrepresentation of the truth since many interactions with dogs do not involve fear. If i hold the idea that 'dogs are scary' then I may create false feelings of fear when around dogs that makes me edgy and nervous in their presence. By releasing the judgement through identifying the denial that the judgement introduces, I can then experience reality as it is, rather than as I project it to be erroneously.
Judging that 'everyone judges every day' is a sure way to miss the details here - neither of us has met all of the billions of people or knows what they think and do every day. ;)
You're mistaken Bias with Judgement. Bias is "dogs are scary" because of your history with dogs. Judgment would be that dog is scary, if that dog indeed is scary. Your predisposed viewpoints on things are biased and that's not judgement, judgement is synonymous with Discernment, I discern that you were referring to Bias from the context and the meaning applied, I judged in other words that you didn't use the correct/accurate term to refer to what was "happening" or what "was", and equally judging if something is good and bad isn't about it being TRUE. Judgement at most times is a Value judgement, or opinion, and some opinions might be valid "that dog is scary" and some might be only Biases "all dogs are scary, or dogs are scary".
It's kind sad because clearly the point krnel made was that judgment is contrived to mean what you think it means, the meme of "don't judge me".
From a good book on this subject:
Learned you something today.
Actually criticism and labels are discernment many times. Here are some definitions of judgement and you can tell me which ones apply to the above quote:
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/judgement
There are 7 senses to the word there, which ones would it be?
Judgement is discernment. Saying that it isn't doesn't make it true. Sometimes I want to hit people over the head with a dictonary.
Putting something in a dictionary does not make it the most accurate understanding regarding the concept being defined.
Putting something in a dictionary is an accomplishment in it of itself. An established concept that has a LONG long long long history and understanding isn't "putting something in a dictionary". Bias, bro, that was the word you were looking, for, bias, prejudice.
Language is living and evolves along with understandings. If some people hold different understandings regarding concepts it is not right for them to be held back from updating definitions due to the rigid 'voice of authority' among those publishing books. Books can open the mind, but they are not much help if we are tied to them in a rigid way.
As you can see from the etymology of the word prejudice - prejudice is ultimately a word that means 'prior judgment'.
Bias refers to a similar form of judgement based thought that is closed and that denies aspects of reality as a result.
By noticing that prejudice IS judgement and that bias is essentially similar - we can see something more of the nature of judgements.
Similar but not the same, hence why it's not correct to say "nature of judgements" when you actually mean specifically NATURE OF BIAS, nature of PREJUDICE. Specificity. And words actually don't change. Mandela effect. It's not the authority of Books, their concepts are found in the most ancient texts, intact. Ideas don't Grow, ideas evolve through a morphing of human creation, the fact is that prejudice is a specific form of judgement, as is bias, which is why including the general concept as to mean the same thing is not correct, because that concept has not changed and will not change, but other concepts might be constructed on them. Language isn't anymore living than any other concept, it's static. Mandela effect again.
In the subject of definitions, what do you think is wiser to err on? the clear consensus as defined by a dictionary, or some new interpretation that has no establishment and as in this case, carelessly says one thing and can mean another, and without a doubt, it means another thing.
I guess there was so little room for Bias and Prejudice that Judgement had to be hijacked to describe the same fucking thing.

Do you have a problem with bias and prejudice and what their definition is?
I am concerned with the mechanical construction of thoughtforms and hold the intention of being as accurate as I can be. I therefore release judgments when I find them and so that includes aiming to be unbiased and unprejudiced.
Here's an example: If we look at a piece of wood and wonder how many centimeters it is in length, we could judge it to be 5 or we could measure it and find out it is 6. Given that judgments always deny an aspect of reality, I intend to not participate in their use or creation.
If I was invited to a 'beauty contest' and was asked to judge 'who is the most beautiful' - I would, through describing the causes of their beauty and why I personally prefer those forms of beauty, be maybe able to state a preference, but I would not need to judge that 'she is more beautiful than the others' - beauty is subjective and much more deep than can be assessed in a beauty contest, so I would not belittle beauty itself by guessing at who has the most.
You release biases and prejudices. Not judgements. Judgements are formed in the now. The meaning of words is what Law concerns itself with. Thought that would inspire even more hate for definitions so why not :D.
You could also say that you judged kinda accurate, not that they deny an aspect of reality because their function is not to include all the aspects of reality is it? In the sense of judging, you might as well call it guessing, because that's what you did.
Good luck releasing that judgment.
Vagueness is my enemy, observe:
Why? and How? Asserting vacuous nonsense is my judgement, and it doesn't draw from "past experiences" but simple logic of if a is b and b is c than a is c.
Why does judgement say that? and how?
Actually, it depends on how you judge or discern your past experiences, it's not by default that you are a harsh critic of your past, and being a harsh critic doesn't exclude accepting and understanding.
Except that we saw above that judgement is clearly weaponized and used to mean that discerning people as NOT NICE are actually a discernment about oneself and not used the correct sense of judgement in any of its definitions, judgement has a bad connotation because it's tied to Law and the rigidity of those Reason and Definition centered institutions, which the feeble minded are recoiling from, REASON! you want me to JUDGE for myself!?
It all makes sense now, the reason the world is so fucked up is that it's all a reflection of myself, I better stop projecting.
Judges Release Judgements also, I meme.
