Judgment Release
The whole message , passage by passage, serves as a basis for puzzle piece 6 "Releasing Judgments".
Parts are quoted in puzzle piece 18 "Good and Bad" and puzzle piece21b "Fragments and Fragmentation"

"One story of your origins is about how your ancestors in the Garden of Eden lost their innocence when they tasted the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The story, however, didn't mention that I had done the same thing myself earlier. "The snake was correct, I had this 'knowledge', but the story didn't say how knowing both good and evil was plaguing me and making a mess of Creation. "Judgments I made based on these values have spawned most of the unwanted fragmentation in Creation. "As I've mentioned, I am evolving.

"When I began to be aware of stimuli,
both from inside myself
and from what seemed to be outside of me,
I generally had one of two feelings about it.
I either felt
that it was something I liked to experience
or something I didn't like.
The things I liked, I accepted
and the things I didn't, I rejected.

"This whole process seemed right to me
and I didn't question it for a very long time.
Even when I became aware
that I was fragmenting myself by doing this,
I didn't know how to quit.

...

"The things I decided to accept became part of me.
The things I decided to cut off, however,
were also parts of me I now had projected outside of myself.
When these parts were rejected as unacceptable,
they didn't cease to exist as it first seemed,
they went into denial.
...

"In the mistaken belief that perfection is what is 'right,'
it seems that mistakes are 'wrong.'
But since you and I and everything else in Creation are evolving,
mistakes are not only necessary, but desirable."
[This passage was missing in the old version.]

"Learning is evolving and mistakes are excellent feedback in the learning process, if they are used as such. The solution to the problem of judgments is not in trying to eliminate the ability to judge, it is in using the faculty wisely. "Your culture has taught you that making mistakes is bad, but it's not true. Mistakes are the norm in trial and error learning, and in fact they are necessary for learning and evolution. Learning is already hard enough without being punished for the mistakes that are a necessary part of the process.

Guilt erodes the sense of self worth
and makes it very difficult to feel feelings
that have been infected by it.

How to Release Judgments

"Here is an easy way to do this.

"Whenever something bothers you,
find the emotion or feeling
that is associated with the problem.
Next, locate the feeling in your body,
and feeling into the feeling ask yourself,
[old version: 'Whenever something bothers you, ask yourself,']
'Do I have any judgments about this?'
If the answer is, 'Yes',
then say out loud or strongly in your mind's voice,
'I release the judgment that I am bad because I ~'
(Insert whatever you
did,
thought
or felt.)

...

"So, now you have changed your mind, you no longer judge yourself as bad for doing or not doing something. "The next step is to change your mind about the thing itself. The words that do this are, "'I release the judgment that ___ is bad or wrong.' (insert the same as above.) ... "If the judgment is a negative quality such as 'I am lazy,' 'stupid,' 'unworthy,' etc. finish up with the following release statement: "'I release the judgment that I am in fact ___' [This passage was missing in the old version.] "If you are feeling self-hatred related to the judgment, begin with this statement: "'I release the judgment that I must hate myself because I ____' (And continue with the two other statements above.) [This passage was missing in the old version.] "Here is a list of the statements in order of use. In all cases it's good to use the second and third. Begin with the first if there is any feeling of self-hatred, and the fourth if the judgment is a negative quality such as lazy, stupid, unworthy, etc.

"Guilt and blame are a continuum.
When it's in you, it's guilt.
When it is in someone else, it is blame.
[see also pp15 Guilt&Blame are the same]
Guilt that you feel impossible to own yourself
becomes blame when it is projected out unto another.

[Old version: "When it's in you, it's guilt,
when it's projected onto another, it's blame.
In either case, it's yours to release."]

"Releasing judgments (blame) against others
is just as liberating
as releasing them against yourself.
Just say, 'I release the judgment that ~ is bad or wrong.'
Either way, guilt or blame, it's yours to release.

[Old Version: "Releasing judgments against others
is equally liberating.
Just say, 'I release the judgment that ~ is bad because they ~',
and 'I release the judgment that ~ is wrong.'
When you release a judgment against another,
you also release guilt's twin, blame. ]

"Does it seem too easy? ... You may find yourself very pleasantly surprised at the deep and permanent positive changes that occur when judgments are released. At first it may seem like nothing has happened, no thunderbolts or deep feelings need accompany the quiet release of judgments. And yet sometimes it may come as a deep sense of immediate relief and the movement of long-held emotions. [The last sentence was missing in the old version.] "Judgment making is a mental activity, and so is judgment releasing. Although these mental constructs have had [old version: "have"] a very powerful influence over emotions, they are as easy to release as forming the intention and thinking the thought.

"The effects of judgment release are subtle at first,
but always [old version: 'always' was missing] cumulative.
The more often you stop a moment to release judgments
when something bothers you,
the easier it goes next time.
Also, after just a little practice,
the releases will happen quickly.
Once you've done this practice a few times,
just realizing that you've had the judgment
is often all that is necessary for it to release.
[Old version: "The more often you stop to release judgments,
when something bothers you,
the easier it goes next time.
After a while your unconscious mind
will take over the process automatically.
This is good because there are still many judgments to release.]

"The Last Judgment is a real event
that will happen eventually for each evolving being.

"... Releasing my judgments enabled me
to move ... in loving acceptance.
[This passage was missing in the old version.]

"My last judgment was to decide
that I no longer wish to deny anyone or anything
by judging against it.
This means I accept it now as it is
and find a place for it in my Light
[old version: "and find a place for it in me"]
if it wants one,
regardless of how I've felt about it before.

"I judge everyone and everything as good.
With me, it's all okay.
I don't call it wrong when there's a mistake,
I know it's learning.
I don't think it's treason
when my suggestions are ignored
or a back is turned to me,
I know it's free will evolving."

Channelers' note: There is more material about guilt and judgments on HealingToWholeness.com

[In quoting Godchannel's message about Guilt and Judgments I omitted passages which are less important to me.
In quoting "Healing from Guilt" in the "Healing-to-Wholeness" website,
which is paraphrasing "Godchannel's" info,
I'll quote even those phrasings which are, in my eyes, deviations from "Godchannel's" exact understanding,
for often I learn more by contrast and contradiction...
But I also learn by reading the same message in the wording of a different author!
The chapter "Judgment Release Practice"
is pretty much the same text as Godchannel's
"How to Release Judgments".

I still felt, I should quote it just as it is...

Healing from Guilt
[synchronicity on March 1, 2011:
I've just ! edited the response from the Channelers to my quest concerning info about "Sexual Abuse"!
In their answer they point out this page in their personal webpage: "Healing from Guilt"! ]

From the beginning of human history, each generation has taken on guilt and passed it down to the children. Parents, children, friends, spouses, partners and others have used guilt for behavior modification, punishment and revenge. Institutions like businesses, governments and religions have used guilt to keep people in line. Guilt is so much a part of the fabric of our culture that it seems quite radical to suggest that it's been a mistake. But it has. Guilt (and its relations, shame and blame) have been a plague that has cost humanity untold pain, suffering and despair.

They've too often caused us to feel bad about ourselves
and to do less than our best.

The bad news is that we have loads of this stuff inside us and lots of people ready to help us take on more.
The good news is that guilt can now be easily removed and kept away.
(Since they are so similar and the release process is the same,
I'll include "shame" in the term "guilt" from now on.)

Many believe that guilt is a feeling.
However, on closer examination it's clear
that guilt is a mental thing that "infects" feelings.
It's like a foreign substance that gets into or around emotions, like an infection in a wound.

Emotions, even the powerful negative ones, are meant to be felt and moved. [the term "negative" is dangerous, see puzzle piece 17e] Without guilt, feelings like grief, fear or anger can flow smoothly and move through us. We feel the feeling - and then it's gone, leaving a space that can later be filled with joy, excitement, power or other emotions. [again: this phrasing is dangerous and leads to the old belief, that we have to get rid of something. From this belief there is but a small step to making "feelings" wrong altogether!] For instance, grief without guilt feels warm and smooth, like love. Fear without guilt feels like excitement or anticipation. Anger without guilt feels like power. However, emotions with guilt in them are much more difficult to feel. They hurt. Guilt in or around a feeling causes it to abruptly stop and start again. This jerkiness in the otherwise smoothly flowing feeling causes a pain-like sensation we interpret as "feeling guilty". The easiest way to deal with feelings infected with guilt has been to deny the feelings.

For many of us this has been crucial to maintaining self-esteem and keeping our optimism high enough to go on with life. The problem with this is that denied feelings don't go away, they submerge and stay unconscious. This creates an opening for the split off parts of us (that experienced the feelings and are now unconscious) to repeat destructive or unwanted patterns of behavior. Denial is only a coping mechanism. Real healing can come only when the feelings are felt [and physically moved, breathed and sounded!] and the guilt is confronted and removed. Although the suggested practice that follows is very easy to do, it can facilitate very deep healing. The truth is that you and I, everyone~~~ we are all innocent. Many have believed that guilt has been necessary to keep us from doing "wrong" things. But this isn't true, a good conscience does not depend on guilt, but rather on a self-assured sense of what is right and wrong. In fact, guilt erodes conscience by degrading self-esteem and even causing self-hatred. With enough guilt, a person can get in a position where they feel obliged to prove to themselves and the world just how bad they are. Also, because emotions with guilt are hard to feel - they get denied, and are no longer available to us. Without honest feelings to inform us, it is difficult to achieve that self-assured sense of right and wrong that makes a good conscience. The healing of guilt is in releasing the judgments that hold guilt in place.

Judgment Release Practice

In healing guilt it is important to remember that we are here to learn. Learning is a trial and error enterprise. Sometimes we make mistakes, we do things we don't wish to repeat. So we learn. If, however, in the learning process we get infected with guilt - we then feel bad, sometimes really bad. A learning experience turns into an internal crime and courtroom scene with the feeling of guilt as the primary punishment. Learning is part of growing and evolving, and mistakes are excellent feedback in the learning process, if they are used as such. Our culture has taught us that making mistakes is bad, but this is not true. Mistakes are the norm in trial and error learning, and in fact they are necessary for learning and evolution. Learning is already hard enough without being punished for the mistakes that are a necessary part of the process.

Here is an easy way to do this. Whenever something bothers you, find the emotion or feeling that is associated with the problem. Next, locate the feeling in your body and ask yourself, "Do I have any judgments about this?" If the answer is, '"Yes," then say out loud or strongly in your mind's voice: "I release the judgment that I am bad because I ____" (Insert whatever you did, thought or felt.) So, now you have changed your mind, you no longer judge yourself as bad for doing or not doing something. The next step is to change your mind about the thing itself. The words that do this are: "I release the judgment that ____ is bad or wrong." (Insert the same as above.) If the judgment is a negative quality such as "I am lazy," "stupid," "unworthy," etc. finish up with the following release statement: "I release the judgment that I am in fact ____" If you are feeling self-hatred related to the judgment, begin with the following release statement: "I release the judgment that I must hate myself because I ____" (And continue with the two other statements above.) Here is a list of the statements in order of use. In all cases use # 2 and #3. Begin with # 1 if there is any feeling of self-hatred, and use # 4 if the judgment is a negative quality such as lazy, stupid, unworthy, etc. 1. "I release the judgment that I must hate myself because I ____" 2. "I release the judgment that I am bad because I ____" 3. "I release the judgment that ____ is bad or wrong." 4. "I release the judgment that I am in fact ____" Whatever it was that caused you to judge against yourself, it's not wrong, it's a choice. We have free will and every choice we make is valid, and particularly valid when it's used as a learning experience. Release each negative judgment until there are no more. That's all there is to it, when the judgments are released you are free again to decide about how you will feel and act in this and similar situations.

The punishment and obvious result of negative judgments is guilt.
Guilt erodes the sense of self worth
and makes it very difficult to feel feelings that have been infected with it.
Depression is often the consequence of guilt-bound feelings
that cannot move and are therefore denied.
Guilt is held in place by judgments.
Release the judgments, and the guilt goes too.
And because judgments are decisions, they are easy to change.
The secret is simply to decide again.
Take back your original judgment, change your mind, undecide, unjudge.

Guilt and blame are a continuum.
When it is in us, it is guilt.
When it is in someone else, it is blame.
Guilt we feel impossible to own ourselves
becomes blame when it is projected out onto another.
Releasing judgments (blame) against others
is just as liberating as releasing them against ourselves.

Just say, "I release the judgment that (person's name) is bad because they . . ."
and "I release the judgment that . . . is bad or wrong."
Either way, guilt or blame, it's ours to release.

Does it seem too easy?
You may find yourself very pleasantly surprised
at the deep and permanent positive changes that occur
when judgments are released.
At first it may seem like nothing has happened,
no thunderbolts or deep feelings need Accompany the quiet release of judgments.
Judgment making is a mental activity, and so is judgment releasing.
Although these mental constructs have a very powerful influence over emotions,
they are as easy to release as forming the intention and thinking the thought.

The effects of judgment release are often subtle at first, but always cumulative.
The more often you stop to release judgments when something bothers you, the easier it goes next time.
Also, after just a little practice, the releases will go very quickly.
After some practice, often all that is necessary
is to realize you've had the judgment,
and it will automatically release.
