Cayce
"Leave off the finding of faults, and so many faults will not be found with you. Leave off speaking unkindly. If it is impossible to say nice things about a person, keep silent - even though what you might say may be true. Remember, there's so much good in the worst of us that it doesn't behoove the best of us to speak unkindly of any of the rest of us."[Cayce 3376-1]
"This is the first lesson ye should learn: There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, it doesn't behoove any of us to speak evil of the rest of us. This is a universal law, and until one begins to make application of same, one may not go very far in spiritual or soul development." [Cayce (3063-1)]
"If ye would find self, look within. Know what is thine own ideal - spiritual, mental, material... For judge not if ye be not judged - this is the law. When ye judge, the same judgement ye are passing to thyself." [Cayce (3457-1)]
"Then know the author of thy ideals, not merely by words but study to show thyself approved. Find not fault with others. Judge not that ye be not judged, for with what judgement ye judge it will be measured to thee again. These are not merely words, they are not merely precepts, but they are the immutable laws as were the law of the Persians, as are the law of the Creative Force - God." [Cayce (3006-1)]
Dialogue on Awakening
"There can be no state of unconditional allowing and acceptance as long as you are in a frame of mind which encourages you to make judgements of any nature or form. When I speak of unconditional allowing, I am referring to a mind set that positions you only into the moment during which you may see only those things which concern your own awakening. Your attention is easily diverted from this process by a sense of need to focus on someone else's process. There are, as you perceive them, a lot of "someone elses" out there. And should you choose that diversion of focus, it could be infinite." [Dialogue on Awakening]
