Hasty judging is a decision made, or conclusion formed, which is quickly decided upon based on something heard or seen in a moment. There may be something within our programming that causes us to consciously or unconsciously forget other data may be available, which could be extremely necessary to form a better conclusion and hopefully prevent detrimental effects.
I like to share a story that taught me about what can happen when one maintains a hasty judgment, which was made by me due to my personal programming and news media reporting at that time. It reminded me that "truths" can change often.
A few years ago, my daughter and I were discussing eating in bed and I told her I always thought about the singer Mama Cass dying because of eating in bed. Immediately my daughter replied: mom, she died of a heart attack.
I started to disagree with her (hastily judging her remark due to my programming) but felt something was amiss, as I had felt doubt when I said it. In all the years since she died, I never saw anything to contradict the original sensational news reporting. Of course, I hadn't asked either.
I've often told people: when in doubt, check it out. So, I asked her to hold on while I asked guidance. I promptly heard: your daughter is correct. I immediately told her what I heard, and yes, I did verify it later too.
This was a great lesson in not being hasty in saying something was a fact, especially when we first start hearing things with any media reporting and forget to check back for any changes to it. Apparently, as I've learned, they don't always have their facts correct when first reporting. Understandable.
Verifying facts is vital today, due to the many avenues of sharing information. We need to check for facts from more than one reliable source. This may prevent us from, as my daughter said that day, regurgitating non-truths.
It helped me understand why even psychics can have problems, especially if they're hastily pulling from their programming instead of searching their higher self or higher awareness. We are not on the clock 24/7, so to speak, and can also have confusion or mental blocks for numerous reasons. Generally, as we improve our abilities, we should be on alert and sense when this is occurring. Then it's best to keep council with ourselves, sense that a feeling of doubt is telling us something, or say we don't know ... to prevent foot in mouth disease.
In conclusion, yes our programing can cloud our perceptions ... our knowing ... however it may be universal truth clouding it, as in: stay out of it; it's not for you to know at this time. That's understandable too. Maybe they too ... the heavenly ones ... are waiting for the dust to settle (court is still in session or the jury is still out) before making a conclusion ... to prevent hasty judging.
I saw this last in my email before going to bed. Just before seeing this I was reading a book about verifying things by searching for factual information before stating that a claim is %100 the truth. I've come to understand that some things can't be proven. But I do take into a account that something does "exist" in the sense that it exist in someone's mind even if it's not something tangible. Because it doesn't exist to us who can't see it, doesn't mean it can't exist. In the past there were so many things people had stated as incorrect. In the book I read the author was talking about how the atom was said to not exist, but nowadays it's something taught in our science classes. So yeah, I definitely get the don't-be-quick-to-judge thing. I still do it sometimes too lol I kick myself in the butt
ReplyDeleteTrue, it's similar to not knowing other countries existed eons ago. We were in our own little world. :)
