Judging yourself, or others... seems to prove the presence of an innocent "you" -- someone superior to the inferior character now being condemned. But reproving yourself, or others... is actually the avoidance of seeing yourself as you are in that moment; this order of disapproval serves a dark and divided level of self, one whose unseen purpose is to create the illusion of there being a difference between the judge, and the judged. There is not; they are one and the same... which explains, in part, the timeless teaching, "Judge not that ye be not judged."
