Prompt: Your Judgement Of Celebrities Keeps You Powerless
We’re coming to a time in society’s development where people are really beginning to feel their lack of personal power and want for more.
Covid carried the seeds of freedom in that it allowed people to take a step back and evaluate how they are focusing their energies and how they might go about building lives that are more aligned with who they feel they are.
Inside of each person is a unique and beautiful gem of a soul with its own passions, humor, and weirdness. Each soul has its own tastes and interest. As humans, you each have different tastes- you may like country music, or rock, pop, or yodeling. You may prefer to be around people who display high intelligence, or humor, or who are more stoic and orderly. Each gem of a soul, when actualized in human form, has the opportunity to build their destiny in the fields of their own interest.
No two souls will have exactly the same taste. You may not favor a country musician. You may not favor a particular pro sports player. You may not resonate with a high-profile actor, politician, or CEO. But each individual who has chosen a life path of stepping into the spotlight in order to actualize their inner truth is brave and bringing a beautiful and much-needed pop of diversity to the planet. They will make mistakes; these are no different than yours. They are only more public, and on display, and for this reason you feel you are entitled to disparage and discourage these brothers of yours.
At each new level of success, celebrities come up against your collective judgements. They face harsh words, even threats and stalking (sometimes publicly condoned as “paparazzi”), these humans trying their best and experimenting to learn what works and what does not work. They are paving the way for more and more beautiful diversity and acceptance, and you have the privilege watching their vulnerable experiments live, of watching them learn in front of the entire world. What they are doing is not easy and takes much more courage than you, as their judge, currently possess. Coming up against your judgments and hatred is an obstacle they must overcome, though it should not be necessary.

You should not be judging people at all. Keep your preferences, and bolster those individuals who are bringing you joy. Pay no mind to those who you do not resonate with. If you are prompted to feel judgement, anger, or hate, channel that instead to a creative action that will bring into the world something that you would prefer to see. Your judgement makes the world bland and fearful; your brave creativity makes it colorful and fun.

Do you know what is happening inside of you when you are judging another? Any other. Let’s do a thought experiment:
Take a moment to choose a celebrity who you have decided you dislike. List the negative thoughts you have about that person.
Now choose your own secret passion, something you would do every day if you did not have responsibilities or the need for money. Would you go on a three-month walkabout? Snorkel? Dance? Do you want to change the world and help people?
We are coming into a time when people will be invited to step up in the creation of their own lives. Imagine yourself now, stepping into your passion with trepidation, exploring it for the first time as an excited child would, and hoping that you enjoy it, that you do well at it, and even that your doing it may benefit others. How far do you think you will get if your judgements of yourself are as harsh as they are against your least favorite celebrity?
Because they will be that harsh, and harsher. And what’s more, the world is your mirror, so your judgements will be reflected outside of you- other judgers will judge you as harshly as you fear they will, because that is what is in your heart. Your celebrity judgements are actively constructing your own massive fear of failure.

When you are judging celebrities, or anyone at all, it is from a state of self-judgement. You may deny this fact or do mental gymnastics to prove to yourself that it is not true, but it is. A person who loves herself non-judgmentally does not judge others.
Your judgement of others cuts your personal power at the knees. You will not be able to live a joyful and effective life with judgement in your heart. You will not dance, you will not sing, you will not play. You will instead be fearful of looking stupid and of trying new and expansive things that resonate with your soul.
Turn your focus away from things you do not prefer. Do not add your negative attention to them, because you are drawing more negativity to yourself. Your thoughts are a magnet, and your judgement is magnetizing more and more of that into your life.
Begin to gently release your judgements and focus on the things you love. Nurture your own soul instead of hating others who are attempting to nurture theirs while the entire world dissects their every movement.
Should you ever wish to have as much power as a celebrity, a power that is a beautiful and perfect tool for bringing good and creative new things into the world, you would do well to tackle your judgements now, or you will find your path very difficult later.
On the other side, there is no judgement. Only love. That is what you should strive for on Earth.
In Love,
The Universe
