Student #1: Thank you, Elyon for that great [[message]]. I would like some [[clarification]] of [[heart]] vs. [[Mind|head]]. When I do "heart work" like at the workshop I went to, it seems that in order to [[feel]] [[love]] we have to, as you say, not [[judge]], just get out of our heads -[[thinking]] and [[analyzing]] - and get in the [[heart]] [[space]]. In the [[Urantia Book]] [[knowledge]] is so important. Is knowledge separate from [[judgment]]? Can being in a judgement space stop the [[heart]] from functioning?

Elyon: [[Knowledge]] and [[wisdom]] are gained from your [[experiences]]. By and through your experiences you learn [[truth]] and know that your truth can [[change]] from second to second. And through your [[experiences]] you learn what you do and do not want to do by either doing the wrong way, the hard way, or gaining [[wisdom]] through doing the right way which is through [[love]]. Love is generally [[considered]] the [[heart]] area. When you fully, unconditionally love another, there is no [[judgment]]. Judgment is only something that you feel or think of another that is normally not true. To judge when you do not [[understand]] the [[motivation]] of another or see your [[brothers and sisters]] as the [[lights]] that they are, the key [[word]] here is love and through [[your knowledge]] and [[wisdom]], if this is your [[goal]], to love unconditionally. If to [[judge]] and [[criticize]] is your [[goal]], then this is your loss.

Student #2: Hi, Elyon. In the [[past]] I've been concerned that to be non-[[judgmental]] could lead to [[apathy]], not caring where someone is. I concluded I should be non-[[judgmental]] but to [[evaluate]]. You said, "[[discernment]]." Judgment seems to mean closing the book, sealing the [[jail cell]], saying that this [[person]] is this way, all said and done. [[Evaluation]] or [[discernment]] is where I can note that someone is in a particular [[frame of mind]], [[lifestyle]]. I may be able to provide a [[service]] to them so that they may [[grow]] but I don't categorize them or bind them to their [[status]] at that [[point]]. Could you [[clarify]] if I'm seeing this clearly?
