When a person is evoked for who she is, not who she is not, the most often result will be the inner healing of her heart through the touch of affirmation. Jesus said you are to love one another as I have loved you, a love that will possibly lead to the bloody, anguish gift of yourself, a love that forgives seven times seven, that keeps no record of wrong. This is the criterion, sole norm, the standard of discipleship in the New Israel of God. ↗

Judgement is the forbidden objectivization of the other person which destroys single-minded love.

In some parts of life, like mathematics and science, yeah, I was a genius. I would top all the top scores you could ever measure it by. ↗

And we owe science to the combined energies of individual men of genius, rather than to any tendency to progress inherent in civilization. ↗

If they are, then the only ultimate truths are the particulars of concrete experience, and no postulate or general assumption is inherent in science until its proceedings become systematic, or the truths already reached give direction to further research. ↗
