Our 1st Master Power – Power to Judge – Revision

Hi EveryOne,

Happy January – new year, new beginnings!

I’ve been churning on how to run our review sessions and decided to just go with the flow. I did however choose to start the new year with our 8 Master Powers (as studied and practiced by the Brahma Kumaris). Once we’ve worked through our 8 Master Powers I will then place the remaining 42 Powers in a bowl and go from there. Our 8 Master Powers are such that if we get these at least partially right, then our other Powers will automatically benefit and strengthen along the way. Not only because we are applying and therefore understanding them better, but also because our 8 Master Powers are a subtle combination of all our other Powers …

Here’s our first Master Power to revise (to practice, to revisit, to cultivate a little more). You know, often we only practice what’s in front of us and once out of sight, we forget (until of course we get challenged). Then we scurry to find our lost or forgotten knowledge while struggling to see how we ended up back in ‘that same place’ again. Back in that same life-draining situation again and again – denying or ignoring or simply not understanding the lesson… Life is a series of highs and lows – the secret of living a constantly happy and balanced life is to practice our individual Powers every single day – no matter how ‘high’ we may be feeling at that time. Truth is, human nature is such that we tend to only seek out our power when we are downtrodden and looking for a way out. Practicing our different Powers each day enables us to stay more constant, so that when the lows come (and they will come) we remain stable – not falling too hard nor staying down too long but bouncing back easier and more resilient 🙂

Tips:
1. Regularly judging the accuracy of our own attitude prevents us from judging others or slipping into negativity – keeping us balanced and constant.

2. Weighing up the cost and benefit of our own thoughts (positive and negative) prevents irrational emotional outbursts and saves everyone time and energy.

3. Judging others stems from fear and ignorance. When we don’t understand, we judge. When we ignore our own inconsistencies, we project onto and judge others.

Questions to churn:
1. What do I find easier – checking and changing myself or judging others?

2. How often do I let irrational emotion develop into irrational behaviour and reactions?

3. Do I allow myself to stay balanced by using my ‘scale’ of cost and benefit, in regards to my own thoughts and actions? If not, why not?

I love this power! It’s rarely recognised as a ‘power’ because judgement is more often used in a negative context. It’s nice to see how we can shift this old belief and turn it into a magical power that can actually help us broaden our perspective, as opposed to minimise our view of the world. Happy revising everyone 🙂 Oh and by the way, for those who joined us after we finished our initial 21 Powers, these were drawn from my first book ‘Will to Wonder, principles on the loss and recovery of power’ – which is available on my blog – and which the 8 Master Powers are a part of.

Lots of love, Annemarie
