I attended the court and the judge, who is supposed to listen to
evidence and then render his judgement , jumped to his conclusion without
hearing any evidence. His conclusion being that I had intended to fleece my
tenants out of their 12 months’ rent and let the property be repossessed and
them be evicted.
Now fortunately, this extremely biased person who had jumped to
completely the wrong conclusion, did not have time to hear the case. So I had to
go and ask for another date which was in two days time. I had to listen to Alison
on the way home keep saying how disgraceful it was that he had just jumped to the
wrong conclusion and wouldn’t even allow me to speak. This was Alison’s first example
of the legal system, and up until that point had seen it as a ‘fair’ system.
On the court date I went in and the judge asked me to explain myself
and explain the situation. She heard the argument from the mortgage lender’s
side and as well as stating that the letting agent had acted illegally, came down
100% on my side and threw the lender’s repossession out completely. Now the
judges are supposed to be some of our most thoughtful people, but the first
judge had called me disgraceful, and thought my actions had been disgusting and
deplorable (nice thing for my tenants to hear).
Yet the second judge who had listened and observed what went on
concluded that we not only had done nothing wrong, but that the letting agent
had acted illegally and the mortgage lender had not acted reasonably. Her job
was to make a judgement, so she had no choice about it as she was a judge. She
observed and looked at all of the evidence first, then as she had to judge, did so
based on all of the information.
The real secret though is to observe without judgement , as unless
there is some benefit to us on our journey in making a judgement, then why do
we need to? Isn’t it far better to just observe and see what we can gain for
ourselves out of our observations? And if observing itself serves up no value to
us, then we do not make a judgement, we just leave the subject.
The truth is that the first judge broke the cardinal rule, he judged without
listening to the evidence. He is supposed to be impartial and was not – that was
his duty and he failed – in fact he did not even need to make a judgement at all
did he? As he was not hearing the case, he simply could have kept his opinions
to himself. Observation is power, judgement is weakness as the unconscious
judge so perfectly demonstrated.
We fail as people when we get involved when we shouldn’t and when we
make judgements we have no need to make. To observe without judgement will
give you power. Observation stops the lack mentality occurring in your mind
