I'm so honoured to have you here and welcome you to today's conversation. So sit back, take a breath and get ready to see the world through a new and expansive lens with me. I'm Evelyn Campbell he's saying we're talking about Pluto.
Yeah. There's Yeah, Mercury in Retrograde. I had it like two weeks ago, anything I touched electronically would break, like, computer microphone, like my Express. My wife was like, you're not allowed to touch anything. Breaks.
What do you think it was like trying to show you? Because I had this around that time where I was getting really ill. And it was like life, like, slow down, take some rest. What do you think it was trying to show
you what I mean? In that sense. I'm a firm believer that we get sick to learn. And when we learn the lesson we're supposed to, that's when the illness or the sickness reverse. So you know, for you. So example was slow down. And once you pick up, slow down, I think for me, I started doing a 40 day chakra cleansing meditation about three, four weeks ago. That's when everything started happening for me. And I've been sick multiple times since. And I haven't taken an antibiotic in 10 years, and I've been at food poisoning multiple times, I've had COVID, I've had another illness. So in the last 30 days, since starting this chakra cleansing practice, my body and my energy systems have been all up and open and trying to wake me up to things. So I think it's probably a combination of that. And I think there's just a lot here right now. I think today, it's kind of game time here on planet Earth. Things are I agree, I agree that that's probably, you know,
when you were going through that cleanse, what was some of those like deep unconscious things within you that maybe you couldn't see before that it kind of brought to the surface because I think when you move through those kinds of cleanses, and those things that kind of brings things that unseen within us.
I'm still in it right now. I'm doing a 40 day chakra clearing meditation practice and the way the 40 day meditation works is if you miss a day, so I was that about day 15. And I forgot, and then then you go back to the zero. So now I'm back. On a 40 day practice, I'm past 40 days, but I'm only at like date 12 or something right now. I mean, that makes sense. So I think I've realised, you know, when I was judging COVID That was a big one. I was judging that a lot in terms of people's reaction to it, my reaction to it. So that was something that came up for me, which is why I think I got it. And also it's taken me a while to clear and then some digestive stuff. So I'm thinking they're okay, maybe I'm not digesting my life. I'm taking on too much. I'm not processing things, maybe I'm taking in more toxins in terms of my food, my lifestyle, my mind. So I think those are some things I'm looking I don't think I know those are things I'm looking at right now and myself have interesting, I started this practice. A couple days later, I got sick a couple weeks later, I got food poisoning that's happened multiple times, what's there for me, I think some lifestyle changes in order. And I think releasing some judgement around what's going on in the world as an order. So that's what's coming up for me in terms of my own growth, and, and so a student asked me yesterday, okay, am I going to stop the practice? Because it's affecting me so heavily? And I said, No, this is the power of doing a 40 day meditation and the discipline of getting to know yourself and saying I could stop because it's unpleasant. But I'm not going to because maybe there's more for me to learn in that I haven't quite found the piece yet. And am I willing to stick with the discomfort in order to grow? And you know, the answer is yes. And that's not always easy. And you know, I've been practising meditation yoga for 15 years. So I've got tools to be able to handle when life gets challenging, and when things don't go I want. So the ability to continue to stay, I would say like mentally and spiritually tough, is a huge piece. We don't get a lot of that on social media, you know, we get the kind of the roses, the butterflies, the rainbows. And that's the light side. And there's a lot to learn from the dark side. It's not bad. There's actually probably a lot more growth in there for us than we realise, in that unconscious world. And if we're willing to look at it, there's gems. So anyways, that's where I am in terms of learning through my own growth. And yeah, and he was happy to talk about it.
Yeah, I love that. And thank you for sharing that. And, I mean, I would love to dive into some things. But I thought first, it would be good for you, Nick to introduce yourself and just talk a little bit about what's on your heart to share today.
Yeah, love it. Cool. I'm Nick Palladino King. I am a conscious coach and mentor. I also own my own yoga studio and fitness studio in San Francisco. I've been a yoga practitioner for about 15 years. I got into yoga by being so stressed on my corporate job, that I was miserable. I was a big jerk and I really didn't have any purpose in my life. So I kind of got into yoga and meditation by default. I never planned on being a coach to ever plan on being a yoga teacher all kind of happened. I would say like almost through divine intervention, it really feels like at this point like this was a calling that was waiting for me. And I woke up to it. And anyways decided one day I wanted to start to share the effects are helping me live a better life. And as a result started to get into teaching yoga and coaching and meditation about a decade ago. So that's what I've been doing right now, I mainly focus on coaching conscious leaders who want to bring more consciousness and mindfulness awareness into their companies. And then also wellness business professionals like ourselves, who have really conscious, mission driven, heart centred focused businesses. So those are the two kind of areas I'm focusing on right now in my coaching, and my practice. Besides that, today, what's kind of, for me, I was writing some things down just kind of present moment, and it was non judgement came up and discussing how to stay in centre line. And then also maybe some things around conscious business because I know you and I share a lot of those passions around today, all of it, but those are the two kind of things that yeah,
so today, let's just dive into the non judgement, cuz we kind of spoke about that a little bit started, I can see it's gonna branch out into how that links with conscious business and conscious entrepreneurship. So I'd love to ask you and dive into like, what is showing up as who you are in your business? And what is showing up just as an individual in your life? What does it mean to have non judgement for yourself? And for the others around you? Like, what does that actually look like?
Yeah, the first thing is, it doesn't look like anything I would start with what I mean by that is we have pictures, right? We have pictures of what a good yoga teacher looks like, we have pictures of what it means to be enlightened, which are all concepts in our minds. And if we have those pictures and concepts, then we're in essence in judgement, right? We're creating, we're creating a polarity, or we're defining things. So the best way to describe non judgement and also present moment is to get as clear as you can in this moment, which would mean to have no expectations, right? Like this called challenging one. Oh, it's a huge one. It's a huge one. Yeah. And especially like, as you as the host, like, and I, you know, my podcast, like, do we come with expectations around what we want to see what we want to create? If so, that pulls us out of present moment. Because if I'm coming in here with things that I want to get across, well, then I'm bringing the past into the present. Right? And that's hard, because you want to have a certain kind of framework and a certain kind of flow, but present moment calls that we dropped our expectations to the floor. And we
just to jump in there, do you think that links into our need to control or need to kind of figure things out and 100% make things go the way that we intend them to go?
100%? Yeah, it comes down to our need to control I think it comes down to fear also, of allowing things to flow and allowing things to take course as they naturally should. And could, it's also trained behaviour. You know, we learn it from everyone on the planet, have you come into moments with expectations? I know a lot of like, the CEOs I coach, they're loaded with expectations, because they're control freaks, which is why they're successful, you know, then they tell me, Oh, I keep having the same problem with the same person. I'm like, well, you're having that problem in your mind before you walk into the room. So how could it ever be different? And they go, Oh, well, you're the leader. People are gonna follow you. If you come into the room, assuming that things are going to go a certain way, then how could they go differently, especially as people get more conscious, by the way more conscious, we get the more of the things that we think saying Do we manifesting create, because we get more clear? So yeah, I mean, dropping our expectations to the floor, throwing them out the window is an excellent portal to being present an excellent portal to having less judgement. In our life. I think this is a lifetime practice from what I'm seeing in myself and others. You know, we talked about I don't know if you're familiar with the yogic language, what we talked about V Copus. V copas, our essence, our, our negative tendencies, okay, right mind stuff. So let's say I'm always in fear, right? That could be kind of one of my patterns, well, then I'm going to be looking around all the time for things that are going to hurt me or affect me negatively. So my mind is going to have all of these tendencies built in to protect me from negative outcomes. So the reality I'm creating isn't based off what I'm seeing, it's based off the patterning in my mind. And then therefore, I start to create that reality in front of me, even though it might not be what's there. So a lot of what we're doing as conscious beings, is learning to identify these V Copus. Right, these negative tendencies, these thought patterns, and go okay, is this thought real? Hmm, do I want this to still have power and control over me? If I do, that's okay. By the way, that would be non judgement. This is okay. I'm not ready to remove this. I'm not ready to change this. But if I go you know what This pattern is getting old, I'd like my life to be different, then how do I start to remove it? How do I start to change it, so my thinking is different, and therefore my reality is different. And that's called inner work. The big piece there notice was the non judgement, I found this negative quality. I don't have to change it, I can allow it to sit there, and I can allow it to still teach me until I'm ready to transcend it. And then maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe the next lifetime. So back to the non the non judgement, that would be a piece of patient's understanding timing, you know, am I ready to change? Do I want to change? And you get to choose, which is a beautiful thing. So yeah, as we're talking about being more present, it's really about understanding who's driving the bus in here? Is it past thoughts, tendencies, fears, doubts, or is it what I'm seeing in front of me. And the less expectations, the less assumptions, less judgments we bring into the room, the more clearer we can be in this moment. And then the more clearer we can be in our next moments, and I find the more clear I am now, the better my life goes, the happier I am, the more compassionate I am, the more positive impact I can have. That goes for all of us.
Totally. I love that. How do you think from your experience, we've stopped practising that non judgement, we start practising that ability to release expectations. I think that's something that's a lot of people struggle with. So I would love to hear your perspective.
Well, I think the first thing is we don't really talk about non judgement very much. I don't see that come up as a topic too often. I don't know if you do.
I've just reading this surrender experiment, Michael singer. And there's a big aspect of that, and I started to look into this concept of the inner child within us is needing our love and acceptance, not our judgement of it. So same with our patterns with our conditioning. Right. So I've started exploring, exploring that a little bit recently, sort of coming through to me, but it's not something that I see in the industry, especially both of us on Instagram, right? It's not something you see, day to day in posts is missing that depth, and that ability to see those parts of us with compassion, for sure.
Yeah, I mean, I think so the first piece is starting to have more conversations around it starting to make that more mainstream. It's not mainstream, because non judgement does sounds judgey. From what I thought it's the ultimate teaching. Why? Because it doesn't end. You know, if we start talking about non judgement, it gets into a big ass conversation quickly. Right? Because non judgement isn't about 90% non judgement, it's not about 99% non judgement, it is 100% non judgement. And then that goes to conversations like, Well, what about murder? What about Hitler? Right? What about COVID? And these are the things that we go, Well, I cannot judge, you know, your preference and clothing, or I cannot judge your preference in using an iPhone or I use Zoom you're using? What is this thing a stream yard? Okay, those you know, that's some low hanging fruit. So to answer your question, we start with the low hanging fruit. We start with Okay, can we have a conscious conversation about technology, for example, just make something up? And in that moment, can you and I, we don't have to get to an agreement, which is really important. We don't have to at the end of the day agree that one is better than the other. But can we understand each other and go okay, well, here's what I think. Here's why I think Zoom is a fantastic tool. And you go oh, that's cool. I hear that. Well, here's why I think Zen caster is a great, great tool. And then at the end of that conversation, can you and I both listen to each other, hear each other out, understand each other and then go, Okay, I don't need to make you wrong, in order for me to be right. And I think that's a really nice portal into non judgement. And okay, we did it once. Okay, now, can we do it about career choice? All right, let's get a little bigger. Okay. Now, same conversation. You tell me why you do what you do. I'll tell you why I do what I do. We'll talk about our different perspectives or different approaches. And again, I don't have to make you wrong for me to be right and vice versa. And then we go okay, well, now let's take it to COVID. And then boom, now the whole thing blows up. Because every single person has a different opinion. Everyone's right. If you've noticed that by the way, Titan, everyone's right. So and I agree, everyone is right in their own reality and their own perspective. And now someone's gonna listen, go Wait, this guy just said that. Someone who's not getting vaccinated is right. And then they go Yeah, through their reality they are. Now that doesn't mean I agree with it. But that doesn't mean that they're wrong. And this is where non judgement This is where the rubber starts to hit the road. And this is where we really find out what do we made up spiritually? Hmm, can I sit with Someone asked, Can I listen to their opinion and their reality? And can I fully hear it, not judge it not make it wrong, not make it right, make it perfect. And then have my own reality and have my own opinion, and not make that wrong and not make that right? Non judgement is about someone being greater than someone being less than or thing being greater than anything being less than? And can we start to make things equal? That's called perfection. That's called balance. That's not judgement. And now, this is a huge ask. These are bold statements, and then we got to get bigger. And then we take it to war, then we take it to Hitler. And now we're talking through consciousness. We're not talking through personality here. Those are different things. And then someone goes, there's no way you can't judge that. Like, well, this is the teaching. How do you not make it wrong? How do you not make it right, and you remember that the universe doesn't mess things up. Divine plan doesn't mess things up, everything's perfect in the grand scheme of things. That doesn't mean, you like it. That doesn't mean you agree with it. It doesn't mean you wouldn't change it. That's a huge piece. And then we can take that all down into ourselves, because it's never outside of ourselves. So as you mentioned before the inner child, can I start to look at my past traumas, can I let start to look at the worst things that have ever happened to me and not judge those? And actually, can I start to love those pieces of me why? Because they made me who I am in this moment. If I love the negative parts of me, then I start to love all of me. And I'm not going to make those negative parts of me less than, right. And those positive parts of me greater than I'm going to all make them equal and perfect. And they go, these were exactly what I needed. In order for me to learn and grow, and I can go well, there's some things in my life that shouldn't have happened to me.
While I go, Well, they did. So then therefore, they were perfect. Again, not that I liked it, not that I wanted. Then we talked last time I was on here about how I got mugged and almost killed in my mid 20s. Right. And in the moment, was one of the worst things that ever happened to me. It drastically changed my life. But 10 years later, I look back and I go, that was one of the best things that ever happened to me. And I'm actually grateful for those three men that did that, not to me. Because life's not happening to me, I'm creating my reality. So I've actually I love those men for having the courage to wake me up. That's non judgement. Now that I was able to say that in a year. Now, I was able to say that in two years now, five years from now, 10 years, there's space. There's some room, there's growth, right? Well, I love those men. I love those men for being willing to grow me. And I mean, that from the depth of my being.
Yeah, I can feel that. Do you see them as a reflection of yourself as a deeper part of yourself that wanted to be woken up? And in that moment that came through?
Of course, yeah, absolutely. Because through non judgement, you start to understand that nothing's ever outside of yourself. Right? Your reality is based on you say my reality is based on me. So there must have been something in me in that moment. That said to those three guys, hey, jump this guy. I was walking home in a suit, minding my own business. And three guys jumped out of a car and robbed me. Okay, so there's something that I was projecting and that moment that said, this is our guy. Right? Now, did I have the awareness then to understand why No. But there was something like, enter, you know, this, like energy attracts like energy. So their energy found the perfect energy for us to come together in that moment and create the perfect experience, which was life threatening, which was dangerous, which was scary, which was traumatic, which was life changing, which was all perfect. Now, I don't know, maybe one of those guys, one of the three. Maybe through that experience. They woke up the next day, and they said, You know what, I'm never doing that again. Right, maybe I got enough shots, and on one of them that they woke up the next day. And they said, I'm never going to do that again. So maybe that experience in by finding me. Maybe one of those guys never did that again. And I hope that's true. And that may be and they go well, that's, that's also perfect. Right? Everything's happening for reasons that we can learn and grow. So yeah, I wouldn't I was the exact person needed for them in that moment. And they were the exact person I needed in that moment. And then look at relationships. We've all been there, right? We've all had terrible relationships. Oh, yeah. Because that was the exact person we needed in that exact moment to grow us. You know, and then you look back at what was I doing? And then you go, Well, I really learned from that person. Actually love that person because they were perfect for me when I choose them. And again, no. But we're getting the exact partner we need in all moments as well. So I think we can look at that through the lens of like energy attracts like energy. And we are creating our realities perfectly at all times. And that's where non judgement is kind of the background layer. It's a daily practice to go back to your original question. It's a daily practice, it starts with the self, it starts with small things, but we're judging all the time, I'ma tell you, one of the biggest patterns that we share as humans is we're constantly making everything around us right or wrong. And that's okay. That's called duality. And we're learning through consciousness, how to remove the duality to have one singular reality?
What do you think needs to happen for that to unfold more into our world,
for more non judgement, or more, bringing in
more consciousness so that we can kind of see ourselves as this one unit, rather than these separate beings that are kind of just going about looking at each other through our own perceptions?
It's a really good question.
From your perspective,
yeah. And it's a good question, sit through my perspective, right, which is one lens of 8 billion people. So I think it was powerful. Yeah, yeah. And this is where we go, okay. One of my teachers, Dennis would say it's the individuality within the totality. It's beautiful line, meaning just, I'm a speck of dust in the universe. Right? I don't matter, anything I do is a flash in the pan, and yet, I'm here in matter. So then, therefore, I matter. Therefore, whatever I do to raise my consciousness raises the consciousness of the wholeness. So it starts with the individual. As you and I both raise our consciousness as individuals of the wholeness, then the wholeness as a result gets its consciousness raised. Does that make sense?
Totally. So what what I'm hearing from that really starts with you, it starts with that internal work those internal changes within, and then they get reflected back out into reality.
100%, and you're gonna hear people, especially in the coaching world, like I want to change the world, I want to help people, I want to fix people like that language is already saying that the world is broken. Hmm. Right, that language is already saying that the universe isn't perfect. No, it is, I'm going to help you. Well, that means that persons that less than, Nope, we're already starting from a place of judgement. So we need to start from and I don't like to use the word need. But we start from a place of internal work, and we're cleaning up ourselves to get more clear, right to raise our consciousness in the same way. If my consciousness decreases, then the consciousness of the wholeness decreases as well. It's like tides. Right? So yeah, one of us how much impact are we going to have? Well, there's people we've seen in the world that have had tremendous impact as a singular person, right? Gandhi, Martin Luther King, right? To John Han, who just passed away, you're going okay, this is one person who's having a massive effect on the wholeness of unconsciousness. So we can need to do that within ourselves. It starts here. It's never outside of ourselves and our own work. And that's a big job. That's a big enough job. So now conversations like this, the work we're doing with our clients, right? The increasing amount of yoga teachers and therapists and coaches out there in the world, these are all the ways in which consciousness starts to rise. Right? And have you ever seen the early adopter curve? For business?
No, I mean, like, I've seen curves like that, but I don't know the one you're specifically talking about.
Yeah, so the early adopter curve can be applied to anything, but it's like the first 2% are the innovators, right? So like, let's look at I know, we look at coaching, because we're both coaches. So look at like, Tony Robbins, right? He's like, kind of the innovator of coaching, right? He's kind of what those first one or 2%, right? So when he's doing it people like, what is this thing? Who is this guy? This is crazy, right? Then, like the next 10 to 14% are like the early adopters. And I'm probably in that realm where I started a decade ago, coaching was this thing was like, What is this? You look online? And it's like, how do you become a coach, it's not clear. And then after that about 15% starts to hit, then we start moving into the like, I thought it was called was like kinda like the main, like, that's where like the rest of the 50% started joints. And this is where now when things start to become mainstream, popular, so like, the coaching world are now like, everyone's a yoga teacher, everyone's a coach. Now, people know what coaching is, we're familiar with it, right? The consciousness works in the same way. And then once you get that 50% Then it becomes accepted. Right? And then now you have late adopters and it's kind of the people that are late to the game. You could look at it Bitcoin follow this marijuana follow this house. Yeah. Anyways, consciousness is doing the same thing. We've got our early innovators, right, which are, you know, touched on Han would be one Right, bringing mindfulness to the west. And then we've got, you know, yoga practitioners, teachers from the 70s 80s. And then now we've got the main adopters. So as we do more and more of that, it'll become more mainstream. And that's what we're seeing in this world as there's more of an awakening in our culture. Also, the heavier it gets here in terms of stress and fear and pain and doubt, and judgement, the more people will wake up, because now we're looking at the wholeness of the universe. As things get more intense. They don't get just more intense negatively, they get more intense, positively. Right. It's a really important thing right now, the Yoga Sutras would say we're in something called the Kali Yuga. Right? If you're familiar with that, no, this means we're in like a shitstorm. Of
I love that really nice. Yo, get word and then it's like, we're in a fucking shitstorm.
distil it down. I live in both worlds, right, like yoga, and living in San Francisco. So yeah, pretty much saying, we're coming to not an end of time, like the world's gonna end but end of the way we are living, and it's hot in Cali is the goddess of destruction. So we're in that time, we're in the age of destruction. And as we're in the age of destruction, one of the benefits is people understand that need to wake up now. Like, can we go on the planet where there's no more time for us to mess around, and we need to gear up, it's game time. Let's get conscious. Let's live our life on purpose. Let's take care of the planet cow, compared to like, the Renaissance era where everything's just kind of perfect. Right? And there's no need for transformation. Because life's going well, the world's going well, right. So there's, you can look at this time ago, actually, there's the perfection in the destruction. There's the perfection in the intensity, because what consciousness is about more, it's not about positive, it's not about negative. The more conscious I get, the more I get, the more non judgmental I get, the bigger pieces I get. Because why? Well, I can handle them because I'm more non judgmental, which is weird to say out loud, right? So masters, for example, are getting pieces that the rest of us can't process, because we don't have the skills of non judgement to handle that amount of material.
I love that. And I love the way you spoke about that. And something that was just coming through was, as you said, this non judgement is like this portal for our expansion, right expansion of consciousness as well. Do you also see that in the acceptance of those parts of ourselves as well, accepting the parts of us that Judge accepting the parts of us that are not quite ready to expand yet and are not quite ready to see the world through the lens that we're trying to create?
Absolutely. Absolutely. A huge part of non judgement is not judging your judgement, which is such a funny thing to say
is like a really big rabbit hole. If we went Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's like, okay, we're
getting too many. So for example, a practice I will do is if I'm walking down the street in San Francisco, and let's say I see someone that's homeless, right. And let's say I slip into a moment of judgement, and I start judging that person, right? Instead of saying to myself, don't judge, because what I'm doing now is I'm layering judgement on top of my judgement, right? I'm making it more dense. Instead, I'll say to myself, judging, judging, judging, judging, back to breath, something like that. And now what I'm doing is, I'm bringing awareness to my judgement. I'm not making it wrong, it's perfect it happened. But by bringing awareness to it, then it starts to dissolve. And in that moment, I go back to present moment. I don't know this person, I don't know their story. I don't know how they got there. San Francisco is the most expensive city in the world. Maybe they missed one paycheck. I mean, that's how intense it is here in terms of rent. So that's where by bringing awareness to judgement, we can instantly transform in the moment without layering on the judgement, and then that's the exact same way we do with ourselves. Here's this judgement I found on myself. Can I see it? Can I not judge it? Can I love it and understand it know, when I'm ready to let that go? I will. And if I'm not ready right now. That's okay. That's called compassion, patience.
What I'm hearing there is that cultivating that non judgement and that acceptance of self and others is really through that power of awareness of bringing awareness into all of your actions into everything that you do. And then also cultivating that awareness in your day to day life in your day to day practice.
Absolutely. You can't change a habit until you are aware of the habit Okay, so this is where I used to tell people that life was a choice. And it is. But I don't fully believe that anymore. Because life isn't a choice until you have awareness. Hmm. I can't make conscious choices if I'm not aware of things that make sense today. Once I have awareness, through mindfulness, through meditation, through yoga, through coaching doesn't matter how you get there, by the way through having a glass of wine with a friend, however, you get to Oh, conscious awareness is perfect. Once I have the awareness, now I have choice. Okay, so an initial framework I'll teach is, like what I call it for conscious choices. But again, they're conscious choices, because I need to have the awareness first. In every moment, I can choose to accept something 100%, not just like non judgement, not 90%, not 99%. But I fully accept what this is, and surrender to it. The second thing I can do is I can change it. Okay, but the key here is that I accept it and change it, and don't make it wrong. Back to the original conversation, I fully accept what it is, and I make a change. My third conscious choice is I can leave it, I can quit, I can remove it, I hate my job, okay, I quit my job, not saying there's no repercussions. Not saying you'll be able to pay your bills, but what I am saying is you have a choice. And then option four is you resist it consciously. You choose through conscious awareness to resist it and make your life harder. Why? Well, like I talked about before, the more pressure you create, the quicker you can learn and grow. So then you can use conscious resistance as a way to actually transform faster, but none of those options are on the table until I have awareness. And then after I have my choices, well, then I need to act. And then that's a different piece of the equation. Because now we're working with value. Now I'm worried about well, what if I do this? Will I be judged? How will people think about me if I quit my job? Or if I change this? Or if I don't judge this? By the way? That's a really big piece? How will people respond to me if I don't judge this? You know, I had mentioned before, some of the heat that I've been taking around COVID, as a teacher is doing my best to not judge it. And taking a tremendous amount of heat from people around me for not judging it. Teachers need to be willing to be judged in order for people to grow through them. So these are all kind of the layers of how do we build conscious awareness? And how do we live in a non judgmental way? We need awareness first, then we have to decide what is the right choice for us in the moment. And then from there, are we willing to act on what we want, what we believe what we need? Those are all different aspects of the process of self transformation. And then finally, are we willing to be judged for our actions? And are we willing to not judge ourselves for our actions?
