Instead of being encouraged to feel completely protected, loved, honored, and respected by the Divine Force, you've been taught that you're being judged. Because you've been taught that, you feel guilt and fear. But guilt and fear do not open you connection to the Divine; they only serve to close your heart. The reality is that God's way is love, and you can see this for yourself. Michael A. Singer
About This Quote

The idea of being judged by a higher power is a common belief in many religions. In the Bible, God judges us through a series of punishments and rewards. This idea can be scary to some, especially those who have been taught to feel guilty about their sins. But not only does this belief close your heart, it also teaches you that you are not enough as you are right now.

The Divine Force does not judge you, because that would mean that you were not perfect as you are now. When everything else is stripped away from you and you are left with the reality of your present state, then the Divine Force will reveal itself to you through love and compassion.
