Clarity is clarity.

Judgment is judgment.

When we are clear-headed, we can do almost anything. We can kill without remorse. We can work through problems without confusion. We can act without the interference of our own stories about what something means.

Clarity is freedom.

Judgment is betrayal.

When we look out at the world and see people doing great feats, we have a tendency, as humans, to make judgments built from our own consciousness, what we’ve learned, what we’ve seen, what we’ve experienced, and what we’ve labeled as fact or truth.

We see something extraordinary and immediately try to name it.

Boldness.

Courage.

Strength.

We’ve even gone as far as to give it a sexuality.

Male.

But clarity is clarity.

Judgment is judgment.

Clarity sees.

Judgment interprets.

When we are caught in thought or perception, we don’t see clearly. We see through everything we’ve accumulated.

Our experiences.

Our beliefs.

Our fears.

Our expectations.

Our labels.

Clarity is present.

Judgment labels.

Judgment brings the accumulated past into the present and calls it truth.

But when we are in clarity, we see.

And true clarity has no opinion.

No beliefs.

And certainly no sexuality.

It simply sees.

So we return to that clarity.

We return to the God of life before anyone spoke about it.

Before anyone labeled it.

Before anyone claimed it, interpreted it, and called it mine.

That is clarity.

That is life itself.

Not asking us to believe anything.

Not asking us to become anything.

Simply allowing everything to be what it is.

And the more we learn to rely on that clarity, the more freely we can move.

The more we can do.

The more we can attempt.

The more we can accomplish things we once thought we couldn’t do.

Not because we have become more powerful.

But because we have stopped standing in the way of what is already there.
