Invalidation and Judgment Q: I want to further clarify judgment. Correct me a little bit if I go astray. I experience judgment. (AUD: laughs and comments) Q: Okay. I experience judgment as - on a personal level - as something, let us say, I judge a chair. See, I'm trying to differentiate designating something... say: "Hey, that person's fat," versus "Hey, that person's, I don't like what they..." you know. In other words a judgment. B: An observation... Q: Is different. Yeah, okay. All right. So judgment is... I feel, that when I'm judging I'm altering. I'm bringing in another time, another experience, as a comparison, and running a polarity on them. Is that, is that... B: You can also do a comparison in an objective way without invalidation. Invalidation is the judgment. Q2: Good bad, right, or wrong. B: Yes. Q: The superlatives. Okay. So... B: The idea of saying, all right, I am in a linear time flow... this now weighs less than it did before. Q: Okay. B: You're not invalidating the situation. Q: Okay, so I'm just clarifying this further now. So, to invalidate something on a definitional, experiencial level, is to, in a sense, put... an unwillingness to validate... or an unwillingness to allow that thing to be. B: Yes. Q: An urge to alter it. B: This weighs less than it did before. There's something wrong with that, as an experience. Q: So it's uh, it's an urge, or it's uh, it's uh, it's sort of a putting a... Q2: A denial. Q: ... denial. Yes. There you go. B: Yes! Yes. Q: Okay. B: Thank you. Q3: Do we choose our parents? B: Yes, and they choose you. Q: Okay. I have another question. You said before that one of the things that separates whales and us from our pets is that we think and they just know. What about apes? B: The idea is that you are projecting a portion of your consciousness into that animal fragment of your consciousness, to represent and exemplify connections to the basic fundamental, foundational physiological form, that you extracted your present model from. Q: Hmm. Thank you. B: Thank you.
