Do you have a problem with bias and prejudice and what their definition is?

I am concerned with the mechanical construction of thoughtforms and hold the intention of being as accurate as I can be. I therefore release judgments when I find them and so that includes aiming to be unbiased and unprejudiced.

Here's an example: If we look at a piece of wood and wonder how many centimeters it is in length, we could judge it to be 5 or we could measure it and find out it is 6. Given that judgments always deny an aspect of reality, I intend to not participate in their use or creation.

If I was invited to a 'beauty contest' and was asked to judge 'who is the most beautiful' - I would, through describing the causes of their beauty and why I personally prefer those forms of beauty, be maybe able to state a preference, but I would not need to judge that 'she is more beautiful than the others' - beauty is subjective and much more deep than can be assessed in a beauty contest, so I would not belittle beauty itself by guessing at who has the most.

You release biases and prejudices. Not judgements. Judgements are formed in the now. The meaning of words is what Law concerns itself with. Thought that would inspire even more hate for definitions so why not :D.

You could also say that you judged kinda accurate, not that they deny an aspect of reality because their function is not to include all the aspects of reality is it? In the sense of judging, you might as well call it guessing, because that's what you did.

Good luck releasing that judgment.
