Discriminating Versus Judgeing

"How does one make a decision without judgement? Rupert says: ‘You make a decision with discrimination. But discrimination doesn’t imply judgement. You can make a discrimination either between two behaviours you’re choosing between or about the behaviour you see in someone else. You can feel whether that behaviour comes from separation or from love. You can make that discrimination without judging either yourself or the other person. If you see behaviour that doesn’t come from love but from separation, and that causes you to judge those people, then you’re doing the very thing they’re doing that you find distasteful. You can judge the behaviour of another person, but you must love the person, even the perpetrator of unloving behaviour. If we, with access to this understanding, can’t do that, we can’t expect them to. They behave the way they do because they don’t know they share their being with their neighbour.’"
