Sitting in Judgement

Turning points come in life when we suddenly see a glimpse of all that lies ahead, of our roles in the world, and the potential consequences of our actions. Mastering this moment means we can employ it effectively, time and time again, in all situations in life, just like the Egyptian goddess Ma’at who you will soon be introduced to. It is about doing the “right” thing, what serves best, not always what we want to do. And a key component is discernment—being able to judge well both the best action and when it is best to take that action. Discernment can be psychological, spiritual, moral, or aesthetic in nature. It involves making nuanced judgements beyond the perception of something. The discerning individual has wisdom and insight, being aware of things that are often overlooked by others.

The ability to discern comes from experiencing life, wrestling with all aspects of it, and the feelings it evokes in us. Over time and if we are willing and open, we begin to pick up these things in other people and situations. Developing this more in-depth understanding can take many years, or happen due to a significant event or trauma. But it is more than just “sensing” something out of the blue; it comes from observation and enquiry, from listening and being attentive. This results in understanding the things that are not right as much as the things that are. Cultivating a discerning mind means being able to digest information and glean that which is worthy or appropriate. And with the access we have to so much information these days, that may mean “kissing quite a few frogs” before you come across what it is worth holding on to.

When I was the editor of a national esoteric publication, my predecessor and owner of the magazine encouraged me to go down into the vaults and read through the backlog of issues. This was suggested not only for me to get an idea of what had already been written about but also to help build up my ability to discern what felt authentic or of interest. This way, I would be more aware of that material when going through the hundreds of submissions that would come in each month. Similarly, when attending a large mind, body, spirit festival, the event founders encouraged me to explore all the different stands and subject matter, and to speak to a wide variety of people. This was not because they thought they would all appeal to me to write about, but again because it would help me judge well what was and what really wasn’t of interest. So, in that vein, I would like to share with you considerations that may help you do the same and give you confidence in your own powers of discernment in whatever situation is important to you.
