The first post here is taken from a post I made in another forum called Free-Minds.org
Hi, not just to Jafar but anyone who gets to read this post who is not a sectarian because they can read someone else's post. I will mirror this post in the 'I AM THAT I AM' forum as well.
The problem is not judgment but to judge wisely for also God judges and so can His sons/daughters do, and it is hard to live a life without ever judging on any matter. If we had to judge but we did it in wisdom then there is no need for requital. Compared to simply be passive and let something evil happen, then it might have been better to have made a wise judgment instead. There is no wrong in judgment for as long as it is done wisely and in consideration of other people, and as according to the comments I made below.
We do hate.. we can never be 100% love..
We dislike .. we can never be 100% in acceptance..
We have our own ego.. we can never be 100% in acceptance of God's will, especially if it's not in accordance to our will..
We have our own pride.. we can never be 100% humble..
However, we can become much better than we think. Everyone should aim for perfection. It is the Body that prevents people from those 100%.
The ego can be dealt with, but it is always possible for others to claim that someone is egotistical about something. Ego is ego per Body measure, but also God has allowed each unit having their identity. It is always hard to judge whether someone is egotistical or not. Generally when you do not greed for things and are needless then you lack an ego, but every Spirit may have a motivation triggered by the Holy Spirit and it is farfetched to call that this stems from the ego but it may rather stem from the collective allah.
A great exercise is being able to go against our own will to conform to God's will, and that takes training and particularly a separation of the Body from the Spirit, but it is possible. "Everything is possible, nothing is impossible", and especially everything is possible in the Realm of God.
It is also conditional depending on defining argument regarding love versus hate. Hate is generally with lack of any kind of empathy for the subject being hated, but the teaching of Jesus said that you should also care for your enemy which implies that you should amidst all frustration be able to reach your feelings of empathy for a person misbehaving. A great test is for the culprits in the ISIS in Iraq and Syria, would you be able to have any kind of understanding for their foolishness? Would you be able to pity them for their stupidity? Would you save an ISIS soldier that would be near falling off a cliff by offering him his hand despite your "hate"? I suppose many people would just outright kill an ISIS soldier even if they raised the white flag and put their arms up. That is hate.
Hate is not disliking an unrighteous action or voicing your distaste. But many people hate for much lesser things such as if someone hurt them emotionally they seek revenge which is meaningless except for the own ego, and usually this hate continues for years perhaps even their whole lives. But it is better to quickly forgive those who hurt you even you had your integrity damaged. In the end it will feel better inside and you have much less enemies around and probably far more sympathizers, even among former enemies, thanks to your good morale.
Of course I have personally failed at times, but I also improved a lot, by a high percentage.
What is the key? Control over flesh, awareness that the Body is the culprit by your own Spirit and restrain the Body from expression of instincts (Satan).
Practicing can be to reflect upon your actions and paying attention to what you have done through a day and see what actions were triggered by your primate Body. Then you can do better when next similar scenario occurs. Eventually you will feel that your Spirit becomes separated from the Body so that you feel like you have a restrained dog with you and the emotions of this Body will channel through the Spirit rather then the opposite so that when emotional stress is felt by the Body this will feel like a pressure over the chest but the Body keeps in check even when people are provoking it. Unfortunately different Bodies have different weaknesses so it is important to find each weak spot.
The question is if it is egotistical to dislike dark deeds and corruption?
Yet you can allow sinners, blind sheep and such people continue with what they are doing without lowering your tolerance level such that sectarians often do. Yet it ought not to be any negative connotation to be expressing your dislike for if someone does something bad such as a youth smashing a window, and that action does harm someone else because they will need money to repair the window or else the exterior air will pass in.
I may dislike that people possess a totally misinterpreted scripture called Quran that is completely off from what it really says, but I have tolerance towards people and let them proceed.
That is arguable. It is a word that can be abused a lot to call all sorts of people arrogant and prideful. Many people call me arrogant and full of pride but I would not do so myself. It is hard to know something that others do not and convey that knowledge in a controversial subject without being called arrogant due to your confidence. And confidence is also something admirable. The answer is that you have to involve empathy in the picture and pity your ignorant crowd and only see yourself as good because your were blessed with knowledge in the first place or you would be nothing. It is hard for others to judge a person as prideful.
When you are humble to people around you by empathy then you can reduce your arrogance and pride.
This is why Jesus taught: "Care about your brother as yourself, and also your enemy". This increases your ability to show empathy because empathy is the key here. If you can empathize even with sinners/wrongdoers then you can get rid of pride and arrogance.
In all, surely as long as you have a distracting Body you cannot reach 100%, but for God it is not impossible and the one who "allah" such. Training my friends, training. Unlearn what you have learned.
The person who gets merged with God is 100% "me - selam" because they exist in the "Father". The very word means that you have God's similitude (sound/pristine by morphological meaning "Spirit (as) Such Thereof"). However, the people having accomplished this are utterly few, but then Angels very few become because most succumb to the test. But lacking Faith that you can become perfected in God is one failure among many, to be blunt, giving an excuse to be any less than perfect to yourself. Rather keep your vision at accomplishing perfection.
One just has to remember that being perfect is also lacking arrogance and pride, and to distance yourself (your Spirit) from the Body. When you are not as much under influence of the Body then you can be perfect because the Father's Holy Spirit is flawless which you are in symbiosis with then.
Be well

We are human, so does Jesus.. we are judgmental.. that's a fact..
Every seconds we judge something, we make decision based on our judgement..
And based on that judgement we shall get what we deserves..
What goes around comes around..

There is no single human in this world, in the past, present or future which is 100% muslim (the attitude / character and not the religion)
The person who gets merged with God is 100% "me - selam" because they exist in the "Father".
