If you could step outside of the paradigm of judgement, what would you do differently?

And so we came up with this concept of the all seeing, all powerful God deity, goddess is always watching. They can see you no matter what you're doing. So no one else has to be around. You know that you are being watched by someone or a higher power and even harsher than that. Is that because our deities are all seeing, all knowing, they can actually read your mind as well. So even the wickedness going on in my head

I don't know if this makes any sense at all. It's just really coming out of my head like this. But yeah, I think it's a good thought. And I think I would probably feel freer if I thought that the world was or if I lived or operated outside of the idea of being judged. But I also don't think it's completely plausible because there are confessions to everything. Right

And it's worth asking and reflecting and taking inventory and saying, God, have I been my authentic self lately? I think especially certain times of people's lives when there's more peer pressure when you're around people like at school and you're in high school, it's devastating because you're always thinking of people looking at you. But I think as I move through life, I feel less and less concerned because I've lived a life where I realized that concern doesn't get me anywhere

You want that esteem from your colleagues, from the people that are close to you. And so you do kind of think about what they may think about what it is that you're doing. I'm doing such things that people just paint mine off as weird. My family now is just like they're my close family. They just think I'm weird

And so maybe it's the word care. So yes, I think less and less about what people think about me, especially as I've gotten older. But I'm always mindful of how my actions may be impacting on those around me and whether it's causing them distress or unhappiness or any of those sorts of things because we all have the right to be happy and weird and wonderful

You know, I would be bored honestly, if I was in a judgment free world. And I knew there was judgment before because I don't think we would realize how critical judgment plays a factor in to our decision making. Now on one component. Yeah, in terms of the guru talk where if you had no fear, what would you do? And it's kind of like these are slanted statements or questions geared towards like, I would go back to school

Because when I was looking at judgment with an E in it and judgment without the e, then there's actually judgment with the e points to this place of the ethical moral aspect. And judgment without the e is actually about decisions or precedents in the UK anyway. So I thought that was interesting because I was looking at the word I was saying. Yeah, I've been over here too long. I'm an American, but I live in England

Yeah, Clay, the more I think about it, the more it just doesn't make sense for me. How can you get rid of judgment by judging it already? To me, it's like the grandfather paradox. You go back in time to save Martin Luther King from being shot. But if you save him, then he never got shot. So therefore you can't save him. It wouldn't have happened. It falls in on itself

You can take it or leave it. I just am who I am. I'm vulgar. I'm loud. I'm crazy. I say things that are inappropriate, and that's just who I am. Sometimes my jokes go over the heads of a lot of people because they're not from here. They're from New Zealand. They're from Australia. They're from Pakistan. They're from Isaac Berjan. They're from so many different places

And so making micro adjustments, perhaps to your behavior, to make sure that that message is getting out and maybe being received again, it plays at that kind of space. Not that it changes. So it doesn't make you change your message and your way of being
