Once you see what you actually are , that you're an infinite , limitless being , you'll see that nothing exists outside of you . I'm your host , derek Grant , and this is the Pathway to your Results Podcast . Ladies and gentlemen , welcome to the Pathway to your Results Podcast . It's your boy , dg .

We are here live and , in effect , it's my honor , my privilege , to be able to share space and time with you right now . This topic is something that I know everybody struggles with this . I don't care who you are , where you're from , I don't care how much money you have . It does not matter . We all , at some point , struggle with judgment .

When I say judgment , I'm not talking about the lie we've been told about the pearly gates . I'm not talking about that . I'm talking about judging others . But when I say judging others , I'm not really talking about judging others . I'm talking about judging yourself . Hear me when I say this .

You may have heard the last episode , or you heard the episodes on self-awareness and really , what self is , what the self is . The self is the part of you that has always existed . Sometimes we call this spirit , sometimes we call this consciousness . We can even use the word God . It's the same thing . Awareness of the self was the name of the game .

You are in this finite existence to become aware of thyself , know thyself , do you see ? So when we judge ourself , this is a complete sin . This is what sin is . This is you missing the mark of your divinity ? You are judging something that cannot be judged from a lower state of awareness .

So we start understanding that only the ego judges , and the reason why the ego judges is through judging , it pits itself above or below someone else because there was a wound that it actually had . So I have to tell you this , because how often do we judge somebody ? We don't even realize that we judge people . We'll look at something .

Now , there's a difference between judging and discerning . You will judge something or someone with the intention , consciously or unconsciously , of putting them above or below . That's the judgment that I mean . So how many times you look at someone or something or , uh man , I can't believe she's dating it ? That's judgment .

And anytime that we judge , we're coming from a limited perspective . You are coming from the perspective of ego , awareness , the ego itself , sorry , the ego itself , the egoic self . So here's the analogy I want to use . Imagine the lower self , which is your body , is a turtle , the ego self is a giraffe , and then the higher self , or the self , is an eagle .

Look how they all have different perspectives , they all have different vantage points , do you see ? So now , here's how we need to understand how this works . There's really , of the three , only one of them can really judge . Only one of them has the ability to judge , because it has the vantage point of being able to see the whole landscape .

It can see the whole situation , it can see the whole thing , and that's the eagle . The giraffe can see a little bit of it , but it doesn't have the vantage point of the eagle to see the whole situation , the whole perspective , the one that's on the ground , the turtle , the lower self it has . No , it has such a limited perspective .

So here's why I have to say that Because when you start thinking of those same creatures , of the eagle , the giraffe and the turtle , as our nature's , our states of consciousness , 5d4d3d , you will start seeing that the 5d Awareness self-aware does not need to judge , because it can already see the whole thing . Do you see ?

It can see the whole situation , so it doesn't need to judge him for where he is in his life right now , because it sees that he is on his own path in his own journey , and it did not have to look like his journey . Do you see how this works ?

So anytime , though , we are judging somebody , one , we're coming from a limited perspective , but , two , it's actually because there's a wound within us that we are unconsciously judging . We're judging ourselves . So when you judge yourself , sorry , when you're judging someone else , you're coming from a place of inadequacy . This is a wound . This is a wound .

This is a myth , this is a lie . It's , it's an illusion . You are not inadequate . As long as you don't identify yourself with the ego and you identify Yourself as the self , you'll see that there is , you are . There are no inadequacies . You were always enough . You will always be enough .

So when we start understanding how this works , we can start to see that Judgment is nothing more than an old paradigm . It's the paradigm that believes in separation . It's the paradigm that the ego has created through duality to make you think that him over there , or her over there , was separate from you .

It it will make you think , though , that someone else's journey is either good or bad , comparatively speaking , to yours , but he who comes from the state of awareness she comes , who who comes from the place of self awareness , who comes from the fifth dimension , who comes from the place of the higher , so who comes from the place of Christ consciousness , would see

that there is no separation , there is no difference between his journey and mine , because the journey that I'm perceiving right now is actually from the level of awareness that I'm at .

So here's why I say this Because we can start using our judgment , when we do judge , as a way to get back to a wound that needs to be healed , because that's really what the ego is doing . It's showing you that there's a part that needs to be healed and restored back to its function , so you can get back in balance with that which you actually are .

So I know if there's any judgment , if there's any judgment in my life , I know that there's a wound of inadequacy that's coming up right now . There's there's . There's a part of me that needs to be reconciled . And I I walk around , I always carry , I always carry a picture of me when I was about 18 months old .

I always carry a picture of me when I was 18 months old , my mom's holding me up and I had this big smile on my face , big smile . I have on as a diaper a head full of hair . I don't get the hair anymore , but I walk around with this and I carry this everywhere I go . And the reason why I carry this with me ?

Because I know that this being , this child right here , had no judgment in him . He did not have the paradigms yet . He did not have the programs , he did not have the wounds , he had not encountered the abuse . He was a pure self-spirit , consciousness living in the form of this physical body . He was this thing called God , incarnating into this physical body .

He knew this at this time , which is why he only had the place of a smile on his face . He only felt joy . He was always only peace . This was why we're trying to get back to that . So when you understand that judgment , judgment is Us just forgetting what we were . That's us forgetting what we were .

That's us forgetting that we were not Our social economic class , we were not our race , you were not your religion , you were not your belief system , you were not your perspective , you were not your parents opinion of you , you were not society's opinion of you , you were not your country , you were not your football team . You were none of these things .

And it was your response ability to come to the awareness of the self , I e self-awareness , to do the work on yourself . And as you did this work , you would eliminate the need to judge Anyone , because you have eliminated the need to judge yourself . The only time you judge yourself is when you forget what you actually are .

The only time that you judge yourself is that moment when you are forgetting what you are . See , when you know what you are , there's no need to judge yourself . You don't have to judge your journey . You don't have to look at and say , well , why am I not here ? I should have been this . I can't believe , I regret this .

No , see , when you've done the work on yourself . Here's what you'll say . Was this what I wanted ? Probably not , but I realized that this is actually helping me to become more self-aware , that this hardship , this struggle , this abuse , this breakup , this trauma that I endured is actually helping me to become more aware of myself .

If I'm willing to do the work , if I'm willing to heal the wounds , if I'm willing to feel the pain , I can actually use this to become more self-aware . Now I got involved with that person , that relationship who did me wrong ?

And maybe I was in a toxic , abusive relationship , but I can bet your bottom dollar is I won't be in another relationship with someone like that again . So really , that relationship , one , expanded my awareness . Two , it actually showed me where my level of self-worth was to even be in a relationship with someone like that .

And three , it showed me the growth that I made because I said , I promised myself I would never subjugate myself to anyone who loves me less than I love myself . Y'all ain't trying to hear me right now . Do you see how this works ? So really , that was actually used to help you to become more self-aware and you won't judge that person now .

You won't judge that relationship , you won't judge those decisions that you've made . You won't judge none of that because you realize the cosmic purpose that it served in your evolution . So here's the deal . I'm challenging you . I'm asking you to become aware of how many times you judge yourself . How many times throughout the day do you judge yourself ?

How many times a day do you look down on yourself ? How many times a day do you put yourself down ? How many times a day do you speak negatively about yourself in a way that you wouldn't want anyone else doing it to you ? How many times do you do that ? All right , let's just say I don't know . Maybe I got to count 15 , 15 times .

Now I want you to see how many times you judge someone else throughout the day , whether it's going on social media , whether it's looking at your kids , whatever it is . Look and see how many times you judge other people outside of you . You'd be surprised . It'd be in direct correlation about the same amount of times you judge yourself , do you see ?

So what's this saying ? What is Tupac ? Only God can judge me . Only God can judge me . Only God can judge me . Well , we've heard the episode before . When you start understanding that God has nothing more than self-awareness . God is self-awareness . God is self-awareness . We talked about this , the chart , the map of consciousness .

When you get to a level of enlightenment , meaning you know the self , you are self-aware , you do not view God as anything other than the self . You know that it's not outside of you , so you know . This is why , when you look at Jesus , jesus always says Jesus . Jesus always said nobody gets to the Father except through me .

Nobody gets to the Father except through me . The Father and I are one . Why ? Why ? Because a self-aware individual would recognize that it was it . This is all there was was the self . That's it , that's all that existed . So when you get to this place , that was the only thing that could judge , and it wouldn't because it didn't need to .

Y'all ain't trying to hear me right now . Y'all , I'm not trying to hear me out . It's just imagine your ears are probably bleeding right now because you're like what is he talking about ? Why is he saying ? So this is what I'm telling you .

Like we can go to the one stop shop , we can go to the one place , the one thing that's gonna take care of everything . It's increasing your level of self-awareness . That is it , awareness of the self . And then , when you do this , you won't have the need that you won't feel like .

You have to judge yourself , cause I'm here to tell you this your journey is beautiful , beautiful and I don't even . I don't even . I don't even know you , I don't even .

The Power of Self-Awareness and Non-Judgment

It's unique , it's unique , it's unique , and if it's unique , that means it's one . It's one , it's you and I . It's you and I . Q you E unique . That means it's one , that means it's yours , as my father used to say . They used to say down in South Kackalack back in the day , they used to say it wouldn't say yours , they say Yozen is Yozen .

Your journey is yours . It is unique to you . That's why I know it's special . This is why I know it's special , because it's nothing more than the self experiencing this journey through this unique perspective that we call Lori , that we call Jasmine , that we call Michael , that we call whatever your name may be in this incarnation , do you see ?

So now your job is to not judge the journey . Don't you judge the journey . Your job is to own the journey , because it was just yours , it was only yours . Own it . And that went for everything in your life , whether it was your body , whether it was your family , whether it was whatever was in this physical incarnation . You were to own it . Own it .

It is yours , say it with me , it's mine , it is mine . Own it . There's no need to judge . I used to judge my life .

If I'm gonna keep it 100 with you , I used to look at my life and where I was and where I am and look at somebody else who was doing the same thing or similar , around the same age or same complexion , or maybe talk the same way or looks , anything that the ego could grab a hold of it , that it could compare itself to , so it could create separation .

It would do this and I realized what I was doing . Sorry , what Derek was doing . Derek was actually trying to find the self , and the only way you can find the self was to lose track of the self . So this is what I'm trying to tell you the judgment of yourself is actually the gateway . It's the gateway to you finding the self .

And when you find the self , there won't be a need for judgment . So this is why I told you to start to become aware of how much you judge yourself . How much , how much is the ego doing it ? How much is it judging yourself ? Maybe you're like me . You grew up sometimes and you didn't get told what you did right .

You only got pointed what you did wrong . You only got pointed what you didn't do when you didn't do what you were supposed to . And they didn't do it maliciously , they just did it because they wanted to make sure that you was gonna be alright . Hey , don't do that what I just tell you .

So now you subconsciously got programmed that this is how you talk to yourself . So you never take time to acknowledge when you do well in life . You never take time to patch yourself on the back and say , hey , good job for getting that promotion . Hey , good job for fighting through that , that relationship that was draining you .

Hey , good job for just showing up every day , because today , you didn't even know if you wanted to live anymore , but you went to bed and you got up the next day and you did it again , and you did it again . You showed up every single day , even when the days when you didn't feel like showing up . You never got programmed how to affirm yourself .

You only got programmed how to judge yourself . When we live in a state of unawareness , we will only judge ourselves and we will only judge each other . That's it . So . This is why I'm telling you , I'm preaching you to the town now , to when I leave the game of self-awareness , because when you become aware of the self , you won't judge anything else .

Because there was nothing to judge , there was nothing to judge . And now , because I'm not judging myself , I ain't gonna judge nobody else . He's on her journey . She's doing her thing . I don't know she . Look , she's doing what she needs to do in order for her soul to learn in this incarnation .

That's what I say when somebody's talking bad about somebody else to me hey , look , she's doing whatever she feels like she needs to do . You see , everybody's on their own journey . We're all on this unique path , this own path to help us unfold and learn and become more aware of the self . That's it and here's the deal . I'm gonna tell you this .

I've said some things and here this podcast , this podcast is nothing more than the evolution of me . You can go back and listen to the very first season and you can see this drastic transformation . Why ? Because I've been doing the work on me intentionally .

I'm trying to speed up this process so I can do what I need to do in this incarnation for this world , right ? But we talk about self-love , self-love , self-love , self-love , self-love , self-love . If you love yourself , then you won't judge Self-love . Let me go ahead and say this we use words , and words mess us up sometimes .

Self-love , self is love , self is love , the self is love , the self is love . So there's no like I need to love myself . No , you don't need to love yourself . You need to become aware of the self . And when you become aware of the self as a byproduct of it , you will be love . Do you see ? I did look .

I maybe probably need to do another part of self-awareness and really break down , really what this thing called God is . But when you understand that everything that you've been seeking because every , every man , every woman is inherently seeking this thing that we have told has been outside of us . All it was was self-awareness . That's it . It's it .

This is the one-stop shop . If you can become more self-aware , you will see everything starts to move inside of you . Everything moves on the inside and nothing is on the outside . So that's why I don't judge you , because if I judge you , I'm really just judging myself , because I know that everything was the self .

When you find the self , you will find what every human being was always looking for . And this , my friends , is what we call alchemy . This is what spiritual alchemy is . It was taking this base metal , this ego awareness , and alchemizing it , transforming it into gold , from ego awareness to self awareness , do we see ? So you don't have to go looking for love .

Really , good God Almighty is coming to you right now . When you go in a relationship and you're looking for love , what you're really looking for is yourself . The download is coming in . When you go on a journey and you're looking for peace , you're really just looking for yourself .

When you go on a journey and you're looking for joy , you're really just looking for yourself . When you go on this journey and you try to find contentment , you're trying to find all of these things the fruits of the spirit . You're really just looking for self . My wife , I remember when I was going through the lowest time .

She said you're the one who said you need to go find yourself . Talking about myself , I wanted to go on a journey and find myself . When you find yourself , you will find everything that you've ever been looking for and you'll see , oh my goodness , nothing existed outside of my awareness . I was the thing that was aware of everything myself self-awareness .

So the reason why I'm saying this is because I realize that even myself , I judge . I judge , I will put myself down . I will limit my perspective to see myself as this pure , infinite self , as being , as essence . And now , when I'm judging , I'm closing down the access to more information , to a new perspective .

I'm closing down the opportunity to see myself , to see myself as the self . I'm closing down the opportunity for Derek to realize the self , because that's what he was trying to do . He was trying to bring heaven to earth . It was trying . Dg was trying to see the self . The self could already see DG .

But if DG could see the self , this is when things would change . If Jesus could see the Christ , this is when things would change . Do you see how this works ?

So we start understanding this journey of healing is how we do it , because we got wounds , we got calluses , we got bruises on our heart and the only way for us to get to a place of non-judgment is through the heart .

That's why I keep telling you why this journey of healing is why I provide all these resources through Life is Mental University , the community , one-on-one coaching programs .

I'm doing all this to help people heal their hearts and heal their wounds , so they will stop judging themselves and they will see themselves from a higher state of awareness of the self , and then they will go on to do things greater than I . They will go on to see how this works . This story has been told so many times before .

It was you , it was about you , it was always only you . You would stop judging others when you stop judging yourself . It's about us giving that inner critic what it needed . Giving that inner critic what it needed , because we all got that inner critic . We all got that mother inside of us , that wound who's over here talking crazy ? We all got the ego self .

The question is , do I have enough awareness to not have my awareness on the ego , but instead of the self . That's the real work , that's the inner child work , that's the shadow work , that's you stepping into those pockets , going into the dark . That's what that is . This is why , here in November , I'm going to go sit in a cave by myself for five days .

I'm going to do it . Why am I going to do this ? Because I need to sit with the self . The self is the I . You look at the Bible , you look at every story . You know what I'm saying . Every Moses , the Israelites , jesus , they always went off into the wilderness . What was the wilderness ?

Metaphysically speaking , the wilderness was the undisciplined , untamed mind . And you notice every time , after the wilderness , after those 40 days , those 40 years , there was always . This is when the journey began , truly , the mission began . Jesus went on to heal and help and save .

Do you see , I'm 40 years old here , so I know that I have to go sit in this cave . I have to sit with the self , muhammad , yes , I have to go and sit with the self , because this is it . So now somebody said to me , they said man , I feel all alone . Let me tell you about words here Alone , alone , alone . Alone is a three dimensional word .

See , in the third dimension , we say nothing . In the fifth dimension , we say no thing . See , it's spelled . The same thing , right ? One says there's zero , nothing . The other says no thing . That means it's infinite possibilities . There is no thing because there's no thing . It's everything . The same goes with being alone . Alone is three dimensional .

Fifth dimensional , we'll look at and say all one . Do you see how this works ? So when you feel alone , let this be a sign that the universe is trying to get you to become all one . The only way for you to truly become aware of the self was to be with the self . This is why meditation was so important . This is why shadow work was so important .

This is why stillness was so important , taking time to be with the self . So I wish you , as always , nothing but the best , but to keep going on your journey . Keep going on your journey , keep pushing forward . You know I'm here as a resource if needed . My journey is no different than yours .

It may look different , but I'm just really on a journey to become aware of the self and , if I can impart some of the wisdom , the experiences to help your learning curve and say hey , don't step here . Hey , go step here so you can learn just a little bit more . This is what the whole point of it was .

Still have spots available for my one-on-one coaching program . It's a six-week course , not course . It's a six-week program where I'm with you , I'm yours , just me and you . I'm talking about , like I'm gonna know what kind of dog food your dog eats . I will be in your life , I will be yours for six weeks . We will talk every week .

You have access to me universally . I am here to help you along this journey and show you , because it's gonna be intense . I used to do nine months , I used to do six months , I used to do three months . Now I've got it down to six weeks .

Invest in Yourself

If you are willing to do the work , we can make radical changes , but it's about you being intentional . It's about you willing to do what it takes to get yourself to the state of awareness . And here's the deal . Once you get to the self-awareness , awareness of the self now you become autopilot , and this is when it's starting . That's all I'm here to do .

That's it . So it's an investment , for sure , but the investment is made into yourself , and anytime you make an investment into the self , the self will always pay you back . So , as always , you can find it . Every link in my bio spots will be limited for this one-on-one coaching program to unblock your life .

Link in the bio you can sign up for the Conscious Evolution Community , where we have weekly power hours . Monthly , we'll have a book club . I mean it's really been fantastic to be around people who are on this journey and be able to help each other . They help me just as much as I help them . And , of course , life is mental university .

You know where to find that . Of course , as we're filling them up every month , we have a course on relationships , how to break free from the matrix , how to understand , creating a new version of yourself , to manifest the life that you want . All of that good stuff . Go to the link in my bio on any social media .

At dgmindsetcom , you can actually check the bottom of this podcast . You'll have it there too . But keep going , please Keep going . You matter , your journey matters , your healing matters , your voice matters , your heart matters . As always , I wish you nothing but the best on your journey to the pathway to yourselves .
