The Last Judgement

"Do not wait for the last judgement. It takes place everyday."

-- Albert Camus


Today is where the rubber meets the road. Today is where it all happens. You have nothing to wait for, no reason to delay, no final exam in your future. Be not fearful that the axe will someday fall. It is falling right now, chopping you to bits, and barely grazing your skin. Reaping and sewing, karma in action, grace flashing like summer lightning -- the dance of life.

The last judgement each and every day is more about how you relate to the world than how the world relates to you. Ultimately, it's about giving up judgement altogether, transcending duality, and living whole and complete.

The world is your feedback mechanism. It is your daily pop quiz. It is your playground. You judge the world, the world judges you, and in Reality none of those judgments matter. It's all just a Stupid Human Trick. There is no judge or jury in the sky waiting your arrival, eager to pass judgement upon your thoughts, words, and deeds. You do that everyday -- why repeat the process later? Why repeat the process now?

The only piece of advice worth giving is be a little easier on yourself, a little kinder to others. Judge less, love more. And if you're lucky one day, one judgement will actually be the last.
