In the center of the hurricane there is no judgment

 The map is not the territory. The symbol is not the reality.

We all misperceive what is in front of our eyes, ears, smell, touch, because we perceive through our filter and lens of experience which skews our perceptions in expected and prejudiced directions. We perceive through the lens of what psychologists have called the "self fulfilling prophecy".

Is the glass half full or half empty? Is that event a blessing or a curse, a good thing or a bad thing? History usually gets written by the victors, the oppressors, the more dominant people in the relationship.

So the wise person is not judgmental because (s)he knows that judgement is flawed, imprecise, skewing interpretation and meaning in an prejudicial direction. The wise person knows that only God, Spirit, Mother Nature, Tao can take the ever flowing, changing, oneness of life into account.

Many religions teach that the world of the ego is an illusion. We are watching shadows flicker on the wall of Plato's cave, The meaning we make of our existence very much depends on our perspective, on our limited experience. Recognizing our ignorance we are moved to humility and we become nonjudgmental. We yearn to move from this ego world, what Christians call the world behind the "veil of tears" to the non dualistic Oneness of God which is our Transcendent Source.

As Jesus said, "Judge not so that you will not be judged." Matthew 7:1

Mindfulness meditation is a very significant spiritual practice wherein we just witness all the tricks and antics of what the Buddhists call the "monkey mind" and attempt to clear our cluttered mind and enter into the center of the hurricane.
