hi Todd,
i find this really tricky.
i DO judge, and then mostly berate myself for it.
but other times, i think more about the difference between judging the person and judging the behaviour/actions.
and then i think about the possible difference between opinions and judgments. and discernment.
and then i go to thinking that i have a brain so that i can make good judgments about stuff to help me avoid trouble and people who'd be troublesome for me.
and after all that, i berate myself again and then i can go from there to being angry at myself for trying NOT to be judgmental and i start the process over again.
on your other observation: yes, i've been surprised ever since joining here that the vast majority of the 'secular connections' are involved with AVRT and RR.
i spent years on the LifeRing forum, and that is a place and organization of no particular technique or programme, encouraging people to figure out what works for them, find their own way with the support of others.
in all my years there i think i met two people who ever spoke of having used AVRT proper.
this avatar of yours...uh...is it bread/bun? a fried brain?
