288 Exiled Parts Are So Often Misunderstood and Misjudged

Transcript Speaker 1: Stop judging, says our Lord. That you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged. And the measure with which you measure shall be measured out to you. Speaker 2: Welcome back to Scripture for your inner outcasts. Today is June 22nd, 2026, Monday of the 12th Week in Ordinary Time. Today we are joined by clinical psychologist Doctor Peter Malinowski, the co-founder and President of Souls and Hearts, and host of our sister podcast, Interior Integration for Catholics. Speaker 1: Scripture for your inner outcast listeners. It is so good to be back with you on this Monday of the 12th week of Ordinary Time, June 22nd, 2026. I am Doctor Peter and we are looking at the gospel for today from Matthew chapter seven, verses 1 to 2. Stop judging, says our Lord. That you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged. And the measure with which you measure shall be measured out to you. Here's my point. You exiles are often so misunderstood and so misjudged. Exiles. You are so often misunderstood and so often misjudged. Why? Because so often your manager parts do not see you, hear you know you or understand you. That attachment, need of being seen, heard, known and understood and feeling it that's not met. And so there's so much misunderstanding and so much misjudgment going on inside. Our Lord cautions us, commands us to stop judging. And I'm reminded also of first Corinthians four, verse three, where Saint Paul says, but with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. I do not even judge myself. It's a really critical line. These two passages of Scripture together, I do not even judge myself. Saint Paul says, stop judging that you may not be judged. I am really adamant about not rushing to judgment. Now, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't, you know, do an examination of conscience, that we shouldn't examine the moral qualities of our actions. Speaker 1: But I think what our Lord is talking about here is judging people's souls, not judging actions or behaviors, but judging their souls, judging their hearts, judging their parts. And I think we get a lot further if we listen first, if we really attempt to enter into the phenomenological experience of our parts. So that's what I'm going to be offering to all you parts listening in, you know, that you managers really working to understand your firefighters and your exiles, you exiles, your managers have reasons for why they do what they do too. There are ways that firefighters and exiles that you can help reduce the misunderstanding. We want to make sure that we're trying to work together cooperatively, collaboratively, under the leadership and guidance of the innermost self that will help this judging to diminish. And it is so important that we reduce this judging of ourselves, of our hearts, of our souls, of our parts, so that we are less likely to judge others. Anthony Flood talks about this in his book, The Metaphysical Foundations of Love. Saint Thomas Aquinas how we judge ourselves, how we treat ourselves, how we love ourselves. That's going to be the template for how we treat others, how we judge others, how we love others. So I just wanted to leave that with you today.
