Definition Of Discriminate
Discriminate means to divide, separate, differentiate, distinguish, draw a distinction, tell the difference and tell apart.
Creator Of Discrimination
Based on this definition, as is the case with
manipulation, the Creator is also a Discriminator. The Creator divided self and created all this.
The Creator and everything the Creator created has the ability to discriminate.
Everything created has life, spirit and mind of the Creator. Creation discriminates as a necessary part of existence everyday, all day.
Discriminating Between The Two Main Types Of Discrimination
I have used good/evil to draw a distinction (discriminate) between types of manipulation. That was then. Now those terms don't seem to fit. Neither does it seem appropriate to describe discrimination in terms of positive/negative, harmful/helpful, desirable/undesirable, necessary/unnecessary, beneficial/non-beneficial, weakening/strengthening, sickening/healing, restoring/destroying, healthy/unhealthy and just/unjust. To use these terms is to assign a name based on my understanding of the effects or results of discrimination.
For the moment, I will use terms associated with what I understand to be the cause of all discrimination.
Spiritual Orientation
The terms I will use associated with the cause of discrimination are “higher self” and “lower self.” These two are what are referred to in common usage as the high road and low road.
Thus we can say, one type of discrimination is guided by the higher self, which is the same as taking the high road when faced with a decision. The other type of discrimination is guided by the lower self, which is the same as taking the low road when faced with a decision.
All Decisions Are Based On One Decision
Every person's day is filled with numerous decisions that come down to deciding the same single thing over and over any way you look at it: which spirit/self/road to take. Each time this decision is made, so also is the decision how to discriminate.
