"When you condemn something, you enter into relationship with it. Your condemnation bonds you to it. Condemn evil and you will be bonded to evil. Condemn a form of ignorance and you will be bonded to it. If you do not want to be bonded to those influences that are holding you back or clouding your vision or disabling you from gaining access to your own inner resources, then do not use condemnation.

You accept it because it is acceptable in this world, and it gives you a great deal to talk about with your friends. It evokes sympathy. Therefore, it is easy and weak."

"God realizes that without Knowledge, without an awareness of the greater intelligence that the Creator has placed within all human minds and hearts, people will act selfishly, foolishly and destructively. They will act without wisdom, without foresight and without accountability. Yet there is no condemnation here. God knows that humanity is not developed enough, is not wise enough and is not advanced enough to be able to purely maintain the intent of each of the world’s great traditions."
