Gary: I have a question. What about simple non-judgment? Isn't non-judgment the same as forgiveness?
Pursah: That's an excellent question. It's true that the ego cannot survive without judgment, so if someone actually practiced complete non-judgment, then it would eventually undo the ego, as Buddha did, except he had a little bit more to do, so even he came back one more time. The problem is that it takes longer to do it in the simple non-judgment way, and it's actually harder to do. It's much better if you have the Holy Spirit's thought system to replace that which the ego has made.
J not only practiced non-judgment, he also employed a proactive form of forgiveness to change the way he looked at everything, thus greatly accelerating the process. That's why he emphasizes that the Course saves time. His background in Jewish mysticism and Buddhism brought him to a faster version of salvation by not only undoing the ego, but actually replacing the ego thought system with the thought system of the Holy Spirit.
