How Is Judgment Relinquished?

3

The aim of our curriculum, unlike the goal of the world's learning, is the recognition that judgment in the usual sense is impossible.

This is not an opinion but a fact.

In order to judge anything rightly...

  • one would have to be fully aware of an inconceivably wide range of things, past, present, and to come.
  • One would have to recognize in advance all the effects of his judgments on everyone and everything involved in them in any way.
  • And one would have to be certain there is no distortion in his perception, so that his judgment would be wholly fair to everyone on whom it rests now and in the future.

Who is in a position to do this?

Who except in grandiose fantasies would claim this for himself?

  

“God did not create that war, and so it is not real." What God did not create does not exist...The world you see (with your body's eyes) has nothing to do with reality. Lesson 14 God did not create a meaningless world.

The only way it (attack, war) could be justified is if each one of you were separate from the other, and all were separate from your Creator. ACIM Chap 22 Freedom and
the Holy Spirit

The senselessness of conquest is quite apparent from the quiet sphere above the battleground. ACIM Chap 23 The Fear of Life

Only the Oneness
of knowledge (of what you really are) is conflictless...Your kingdom is not of this world because it was given you from beyond this world. ACIM Chap 3 Creating versus the Self-Image

When you have accepted the Atonement for yourselves, you will realize that there is no guilt in God’s Son. For the idea of guilt brings a belief in condemnation of one by another, projecting separation in place of unity. ACIM Chap 11 Guiltlessness and Invulnerability

Eating of the fruit of the tree of knowledge is a symbolic expression for incorporating into the self the ability for self-creating.ACIM Chap 3 Creating vs the Self-mage

Adam’s “sin” could have touched none of you had you not believed that it was the Father Who drove him out of paradise. For in that belief the knowledge of the Father was lost, since only those who do not understand Him could believe it. ACIM Chap 11 Guiltlessness and Invulnerability
