How Can I Act from Being Despite Triggers of Conditioning?

"Yesterday at work, there was an experience of being completely present without personality, which led to my courageously confronting a lawyer. The response was forceful but not aggressive, and he later apologised. How can this extend to all relationships? Rupert says: ‘That’s a beautiful example. You were in your being. There was no animosity or hatred in you. A forceful statement was necessary, but the lawyer could feel that you were impersonal, that you were not judging him. You were addressing a situation. And he obviously felt that, and that placed him in the right place in himself. He didn’t need to defend himself because you weren’t attacking him. That’s how, if you stand in this impersonal place in being and you act from there, even if your action is forceful, you give the situation the best possible chance to move towards harmony. Whereas if you had been aggressive, it would’ve moved towards conflict.’"
