Seven levels of judgment (wisdoms)
Our happiness depends upon our judgment. Illness or health, intelligence
or foolishness, happiness or misery all depend on our judgment. Judgment
develops as life progresses towards perfection in the seven stages
listed below.
The mere awareness of being. It starts at birth and lasts a few weeks
thereafter.
The ability to distinguish between hot and cold and far and near. This
is the law of duality in its nearest interpretation at a sensorial
level. It starts a few weeks after birth and develops gradually.
The ability to distinguish between love and hate, pleasure and pain. It
starts a few months after birth and begins to manifest into our
behavior. This is instinct.
About two years after birth we begin to distinguish between the pairs of
opposites in all phenomena. Bad and good, beautiful and ugly, food and
poison, just and unjust.
This is the beginning of social judgment. It begins to envelope morals.
We begin to display and utilize socially-learned values. This is unique
to human beings. Animals in nature do not need this.
This is the beginning of dialectical principles. The beginning of
philosophical principles. This is the stage where regional differences
begin to come into play. Our climate, our environment, our traditional
foods and other surroundings all play a roll into who we are.
This the beginning of metaphysics and spiritualism. We begin to wonder
about the meaning of our existence and about the universe and all
creation. Here is where we feel that all of our questions have been
answered. Universal love develops at this stage. The inclusion and
acceptance of all pairs of opposites is the ultimate understanding of
the universe. Until we reach that stage we are often unhappy.
The seven stages of judgment and other similar topics are only some of
the subjects explained in details in our ongoing seminars presented
worldwide. To arrange for a seminar in your area please contact us. |
