Judgment is not the same thing as discernment. Discernment can draw on past experience, but it also notices the differences.
Judgement is discernment. Saying that it isn't doesn't make it true. Sometimes I want to hit people over the head with a dictonary.
Putting something in a dictionary does not make it the most accurate understanding regarding the concept being defined.
Language is living and evolves along with understandings. If some people hold different understandings regarding concepts it is not right for them to be held back from updating definitions due to the rigid 'voice of authority' among those publishing books. Books can open the mind, but they are not much help if we are tied to them in a rigid way.
As you can see from the etymology of the word prejudice - prejudice is ultimately a word that means 'prior judgment'.
Bias refers to a similar form of judgement based thought that is closed and that denies aspects of reality as a result.
By noticing that prejudice IS judgement and that bias is essentially similar - we can see something more of the nature of judgements.
It's not possible for my reply here to have value while you are judging so heavily here ;)
I am concerned with the mechanical construction of thoughtforms and hold the intention of being as accurate as I can be. I therefore release judgments when I find them and so that includes aiming to be unbiased and unprejudiced.
Here's an example: If we look at a piece of wood and wonder how many centimeters it is in length, we could judge it to be 5 or we could measure it and find out it is 6. Given that judgments always deny an aspect of reality, I intend to not participate in their use or creation.
If I was invited to a 'beauty contest' and was asked to judge 'who is the most beautiful' - I would, through describing the causes of their beauty and why I personally prefer those forms of beauty, be maybe able to state a preference, but I would not need to judge that 'she is more beautiful than the others' - beauty is subjective and much more deep than can be assessed in a beauty contest, so I would not belittle beauty itself by guessing at who has the most.
