0:00:00.288,0:00:06.833 Music by Lisa Thiel - Kuan Yin's Mantra 0:00:14.313,0:00:17.693 Ask Teal 0:00:27.553,0:00:31.639 Hatred 0:00:33.059,0:00:34.446 Hello there. 0:00:34.446,0:00:35.589 Hatred, 0:00:35.589,0:00:38.144 we see it everywhere in the world today. 0:00:38.144,0:00:40.735 It's the internal condition [br]that leads to things like, 0:00:40.735,0:00:43.467 prejudice and genocide and war. 0:00:43.947,0:00:47.670 Hatred is essentially the emotional state 0:00:47.670,0:00:51.452 of deep and intense dislike, 0:00:51.452,0:00:52.784 aversion, 0:00:52.784,0:00:54.793 or even hositility 0:00:54.793,0:00:57.033 towards someone or something. 0:00:57.033,0:00:58.975 It's perhaps the most extreme form 0:00:58.975,0:01:01.497 of vibrational resistance to something. 0:01:02.247,0:01:03.954 It is resistance to the degree 0:01:03.954,0:01:06.572 that one wishes to destroy [br]the thing that is perceived 0:01:06.572,0:01:08.937 to be causing the unhappiness within them. 0:01:09.097,0:01:12.373 But what is it exactly that causes hatred? 0:01:12.983,0:01:17.336 Hatred is caused by the perception of threat. 0:01:18.136,0:01:19.828 What is a threat? 0:01:19.918,0:01:22.641 A threat is you facing something 0:01:22.641,0:01:24.593 that is going to diminish 0:01:24.593,0:01:26.535 something that you hold dear. 0:01:26.605,0:01:29.854 A threat is something that's likely [br]to cause danger or damage. 0:01:29.854,0:01:30.759 In other words, 0:01:30.759,0:01:32.755 it's something that's likely to hurt you. 0:01:32.755,0:01:35.722 When a person feels as if they're [br]in the presence of a threat, 0:01:35.722,0:01:38.720 they feel fear, and that fear is [br]quickly converted to anger, 0:01:38.720,0:01:40.552 which is a state of defense. 0:01:40.632,0:01:42.511 You can think of anger and aversion 0:01:42.511,0:01:45.040 as a person's attempt to [br]keep their boundaries intact 0:01:45.040,0:01:46.633 so as to stay safe. 0:01:46.633,0:01:49.473 The person tries to push [br]that thing away from itself 0:01:49.473,0:01:51.833 or somehow eradicate the threat. 0:01:52.003,0:01:55.413 Hatred is the human ego [br]in a state of defense. 0:01:55.533,0:01:58.134 When we find ourself hating something, 0:01:58.134,0:02:00.636 the question we have to ask ourselves is: 0:02:00.636,0:02:03.463 "What threat does this thing pose to me?" 0:02:03.463,0:02:05.289 "How is it hurting me?" 0:02:05.449,0:02:07.730 "What am I afraid of?" 0:02:07.930,0:02:09.106 For example, 0:02:09.106,0:02:11.493 A woman may feel hatred [br]towards another woman 0:02:11.493,0:02:12.580 who is beautiful, 0:02:12.580,0:02:14.172 and upon further reflection, 0:02:14.172,0:02:16.218 she might find that [br]that woman is a threat 0:02:16.218,0:02:18.154 to her own sense of self-esteem, 0:02:18.154,0:02:19.940 her self-concept. 0:02:19.940,0:02:21.149 Or for example, 0:02:21.149,0:02:23.728 a man may start to feel hatred [br]towards another man 0:02:23.728,0:02:25.598 that's flirting with his girlfriend. 0:02:25.598,0:02:26.902 But upon deeper reflection, 0:02:26.902,0:02:28.457 he finds that it's because 0:02:28.457,0:02:29.908 that man poses a threat 0:02:29.908,0:02:31.874 to his sense of security and connection 0:02:31.874,0:02:33.520 within his relationship. 0:02:33.730,0:02:36.327 Or a group of people might feel hatred 0:02:36.327,0:02:38.065 towards another group of people. 0:02:38.065,0:02:40.610 Because pretend they have [br]different religious views. 0:02:40.610,0:02:42.264 Upon deeper reflection, 0:02:42.264,0:02:44.281 one of those religious groups might find 0:02:44.281,0:02:45.999 that the reason they hate the other, 0:02:45.999,0:02:48.653 is because of the belief [br]they hold about them. 0:02:48.653,0:02:50.987 They may think that this other group 0:02:50.987,0:02:52.852 is evil or wicked. 0:02:52.852,0:02:55.100 And so their beliefs about [br]this other person, 0:02:55.100,0:02:58.064 makes them think that that other group 0:02:58.064,0:03:00.459 is a threat to life on earth, 0:03:00.459,0:03:02.129 a threat to happiness. 0:03:02.129,0:03:04.513 The safer we feel, the less we hate. 0:03:05.553,0:03:07.761 The problem is that hatred 0:03:07.761,0:03:09.059 tends to snowball. 0:03:09.059,0:03:11.101 Essentially, this is how it goes: 0:03:11.101,0:03:13.339 We perceive a threat first. 0:03:13.339,0:03:15.577 Our reaction to that threat 0:03:15.577,0:03:17.566 is to push it away from us, 0:03:17.566,0:03:19.426 so we start to feel hatred. 0:03:19.426,0:03:21.807 And because we're focussed at that thing 0:03:21.807,0:03:23.419 with an attitude of hatred, 0:03:23.419,0:03:24.576 as if it's a threat, 0:03:24.576,0:03:27.010 what happens in a law of [br]attraction based universe? 0:03:27.020,0:03:29.167 We attract more proof [br]that they're a threat. 0:03:29.167,0:03:30.823 Which makes us more afraid, 0:03:30.823,0:03:32.489 which makes us hate them more, 0:03:32.489,0:03:35.285 which makes us manifest more [br]proof that they're dangerous, 0:03:35.285,0:03:36.982 which makes us hate them more. 0:03:36.982,0:03:39.367 And it just keeps going [br]and going until finally, 0:03:39.367,0:03:41.034 we have so much hate inside of us, 0:03:41.034,0:03:42.497 that we can do nothing 0:03:42.497,0:03:44.781 except for try to destroy [br]that other thing. 0:03:44.781,0:03:47.019 Some of us find ourselves more frequently 0:03:47.019,0:03:49.118 on the receiving end of hatred. 0:03:49.198,0:03:50.908 I'm one of those examples. 0:03:50.908,0:03:52.409 This is especially true 0:03:52.409,0:03:53.910 if we're one of those people 0:03:53.910,0:03:55.447 who grew up in a condition, 0:03:55.447,0:03:56.975 which led us to shame. 0:03:56.975,0:03:58.579 That means in our childhood, 0:03:58.579,0:04:00.301 the belief which we inherited 0:04:00.301,0:04:02.023 from the people who were raising us, 0:04:02.023,0:04:04.829 was that there's something [br]about us that's bad or wrong. 0:04:04.829,0:04:06.753 We are a perfect vibrational match 0:04:06.753,0:04:09.787 to people who think that [br]exact same thing about us. 0:04:09.787,0:04:12.099 We tend to take this hatred personally. 0:04:12.099,0:04:14.875 We make the hatred that [br]we receive from others 0:04:14.875,0:04:17.452 mean that there must be [br]something bad about us. 0:04:17.572,0:04:21.360 This pushes is into self-doubt, [br]self-hatred and self-distrust. 0:04:21.420,0:04:24.722 But we need to see that the hatred [br]does not exist because we're bad. 0:04:24.722,0:04:27.596 It doesn't even exist because [br]they're right about us. 0:04:27.596,0:04:29.610 Hatred exists because the other person 0:04:29.610,0:04:32.745 perceives us to be a threat [br]to something they treasure 0:04:32.745,0:04:34.536 and are therefore attached to. 0:04:34.536,0:04:36.628 So what we have to ask ourselves is: 0:04:36.628,0:04:40.055 "What threat do they perceive [br]me posing to them?" 0:04:40.055,0:04:42.653 For example, we may discover 0:04:42.653,0:04:45.871 that somebody feels as if we're [br]a threat to their physical safety, 0:04:45.871,0:04:47.800 or we're a threat to their wellbeing, 0:04:47.800,0:04:49.729 or we're a threat to their relationship, 0:04:49.729,0:04:52.429 or we're a threat to how they [br]want the world to look, 0:04:52.429,0:04:55.513 or we're a threat to the beliefs [br]which are keeping them safe, 0:04:55.513,0:04:58.533 or we're a threat to their [br]sense of self-esteem. 0:04:58.533,0:05:01.506 It's much easier to feel better [br]about someone or something 0:05:01.506,0:05:02.460 that's hating us, 0:05:02.460,0:05:04.405 if we can develop compassion. 0:05:04.405,0:05:06.426 Now I realise this can be a stretch. 0:05:06.426,0:05:08.562 Feeling compassion for [br]someone who hates you 0:05:08.562,0:05:12.422 and who is potentially actively trying [br]to destroy your life is quite difficult. 0:05:12.422,0:05:14.351 But remember that what you're after here 0:05:14.351,0:05:15.920 is not letting them of the hook, 0:05:15.920,0:05:18.260 for hating you or doing [br]the things they're doing. 0:05:18.260,0:05:21.407 What you're trying to look to do,[br]is to feel better yourself. 0:05:21.407,0:05:23.777 And obviously, when someone [br]starts hating you, 0:05:23.777,0:05:25.727 you start perceiving them as a threat. 0:05:25.727,0:05:28.817 So one of the best ways to [br]get out of that vicious cycle, 0:05:28.817,0:05:31.164 is to start focussing on the pain 0:05:31.164,0:05:33.342 that is in fact causing their hatred. 0:05:33.342,0:05:35.154 Where is that fear 0:05:35.154,0:05:37.407 and that scared little child, essentially, 0:05:37.407,0:05:39.507 who is completely convinced 0:05:39.507,0:05:41.227 that you're a threat to them? 0:05:41.227,0:05:42.149 In other words, 0:05:42.149,0:05:44.882 we don't feel the need to [br]defend ourselves as violently, 0:05:44.882,0:05:46.456 because it really isn't about us, 0:05:46.456,0:05:49.996 it's about the fact that something [br]about us makes them feel threatened. 0:05:49.996,0:05:52.874 Perhaps we can even help them feel 0:05:52.874,0:05:56.473 less threatened about whatever they [br]feel threatened about relative to us. 0:05:56.473,0:05:58.400 When it comes to hatred, 0:05:58.400,0:06:00.434 regardless of whether it's us hating them 0:06:00.434,0:06:02.228 or them hating us, 0:06:02.228,0:06:04.816 what we have to do is to address the fear 0:06:04.816,0:06:05.900 and the pain 0:06:05.900,0:06:08.235 that is underneath that hatred. 0:06:08.235,0:06:10.556 We have to access the vulnerability. 0:06:10.556,0:06:12.367 So when you encounter hate, 0:06:12.367,0:06:14.379 I want you to do three things. 0:06:14.629,0:06:17.881 1. You need to question the threat. 0:06:18.961,0:06:23.402 This means you gotta get present [br]to what threat this person poses, 0:06:23.402,0:06:25.875 or what threat they think you pose. 0:06:25.875,0:06:27.420 You gotta be really aware 0:06:27.420,0:06:28.765 of what that is first 0:06:28.765,0:06:30.688 and you have to question it. 0:06:30.688,0:06:32.943 Is this genuinely a threat? 0:06:32.943,0:06:35.219 Is that a threat they actually pose to me? 0:06:35.219,0:06:37.586 Is it a threat I actually pose to them? 0:06:37.586,0:06:40.500 We also have to explore and [br]loosen our negative attachment 0:06:40.500,0:06:43.275 to the thing we think [br]they pose a threat to. 0:06:43.465,0:06:45.895 Obviously if we start hating somebody, 0:06:45.895,0:06:47.446 or if they start hating us, 0:06:47.446,0:06:48.582 it's about the fact 0:06:48.582,0:06:50.729 that we feel like we have [br]to defend something 0:06:50.729,0:06:52.113 which we're attached to. 0:06:52.113,0:06:53.709 This is a perfect opportunity 0:06:53.709,0:06:56.485 for those of us who are [br]in the spiritual practice, 0:06:56.485,0:06:59.115 to question our level of attachment. 0:06:59.115,0:07:02.288 Obviously, I've identified [br]with this particular thing 0:07:02.288,0:07:03.494 so strongly, 0:07:03.494,0:07:06.551 that that in and of itself [br]is causing me pain. 0:07:06.731,0:07:10.516 2. Find non-reactive conscious strategies 0:07:10.516,0:07:12.168 to diminish the potential threat, 0:07:12.168,0:07:14.941 without causing the other person harm. 0:07:14.941,0:07:16.321 For example, 0:07:16.321,0:07:20.079 let's say that the other person [br]poses a threat to my self-esteem. 0:07:20.699,0:07:23.964 How could I go about [br]decreasing that threat 0:07:23.964,0:07:27.110 to my self-esteem without [br]causing them pain? 0:07:27.110,0:07:28.331 Step 3. 0:07:28.331,0:07:32.612 Increase your feeling [br]of safety and integrity. 0:07:32.612,0:07:34.728 Obviously you're defending something 0:07:34.728,0:07:37.764 that you think you're gonna lose [br]or that's going to be diminished 0:07:37.764,0:07:39.641 by the person who is hating you 0:07:39.641,0:07:40.998 or who you're hating. 0:07:40.998,0:07:42.351 So what I want you to do, 0:07:42.351,0:07:43.628 is to think any thought 0:07:43.628,0:07:47.375 that would cause you to feel [br]better about this situation, 0:07:47.375,0:07:49.836 about whatever it is [br]they pose a threat to. 0:07:49.836,0:07:52.562 Any form of positive focus [br]about the situation 0:07:52.562,0:07:55.619 we feel threatened by will [br]diminish the feeling of threat. 0:07:55.619,0:07:58.892 By doing these things, we will [br]experience a decrease in hatred. 0:07:58.892,0:08:00.987 At its root, hatred occurs 0:08:00.987,0:08:02.674 because we feel powerless 0:08:02.674,0:08:04.372 to the way we feel. 0:08:04.702,0:08:06.640 Why is it that we don't wanna lose 0:08:06.640,0:08:09.068 that thing we think they're a threat to? 0:08:09.068,0:08:11.544 Because we would feel bad if we did. 0:08:11.544,0:08:12.793 So at the core, 0:08:12.793,0:08:16.312 hatred is about the fact that we [br]feel powerless to feeling bad. 0:08:16.532,0:08:18.853 So, what can you do about it? 0:08:19.103,0:08:22.936 Prove to yourself that you're not [br]powerless to the way that you feel. 0:08:23.056,0:08:25.600 Any amount of focus on anything, 0:08:25.600,0:08:27.184 or any action you take 0:08:27.184,0:08:29.652 that makes you feel better or more secure 0:08:29.652,0:08:32.421 relative to the thing you [br]think you're gonna lose, 0:08:32.421,0:08:34.191 will cause you to feel better. 0:08:34.191,0:08:35.582 When we hate, 0:08:35.582,0:08:37.714 we feel bad and don't [br]think we can feel good 0:08:37.714,0:08:40.189 as long as the thing we think [br]caused us to feel bad, 0:08:40.189,0:08:41.077 (the threat) 0:08:41.077,0:08:42.535 still exists. 0:08:42.695,0:08:45.447 Taking our focus of those things[br]that cause us to feel bad 0:08:45.447,0:08:48.182 and placing our focus on things [br]that cause us to feel good, 0:08:48.182,0:08:50.323 allows us to see that [br]we do have the ability 0:08:50.323,0:08:52.374 to alter how we feel deliberately. 0:08:52.374,0:08:54.066 This empowerment helps us to see 0:08:54.066,0:08:56.229 that we aren't just at [br]the mercy of the world 0:08:56.229,0:08:58.234 and thus we feel less threatened by things 0:08:58.234,0:09:00.255 and thus we don't feel hate towards them. 0:09:00.255,0:09:01.062 For example, 0:09:01.062,0:09:04.234 let's say that you feel hatred [br]towards your boyfriend's ex. 0:09:04.234,0:09:06.586 When you ask yourself the question: 0:09:06.586,0:09:08.962 What threat does this pose to me? 0:09:08.962,0:09:11.034 You might come up with an answer like: 0:09:11.034,0:09:12.841 She really poses a threat [br] 0:09:12.841,0:09:15.498 to the connection that [br]I feel with this person. 0:09:15.498,0:09:17.457 I feel like, if she's in the picture, 0:09:17.457,0:09:20.016 I'm gonna lose my connection with him. 0:09:20.016,0:09:22.007 First, you question the threat. 0:09:22.007,0:09:24.968 Is she really a threat to your [br]connection with your boyfriend? 0:09:24.968,0:09:26.372 If so, how? 0:09:26.902,0:09:29.121 You may wanna do Byron Katie's process 0:09:29.121,0:09:31.321 called 'The Work' on this idea. 0:09:31.321,0:09:33.072 Then you may want to explore 0:09:33.072,0:09:36.344 how the attachment you have to [br]your connection, to your boyfriend, 0:09:36.344,0:09:38.477 is painful and therefore negative. 0:09:38.477,0:09:41.296 Because what you really want [br]is a man who will choose you 0:09:41.296,0:09:42.756 and whom wants you enough 0:09:42.756,0:09:45.907 that you don't have to work hard [br]to earn closeness with him. 0:09:45.907,0:09:48.871 So it may even be better [br]to have his closeness 0:09:48.871,0:09:50.125 tested in this way, 0:09:50.125,0:09:52.128 so you can either see his true colours, 0:09:52.128,0:09:53.477 or develop real security 0:09:53.477,0:09:55.197 in his connection to you. 0:09:55.197,0:09:57.665 Then, one of the action [br]steps you could take, 0:09:57.665,0:10:00.503 is to have a vulnerable and open [br]and honest conversation 0:10:00.503,0:10:01.659 with your boyfriend 0:10:01.659,0:10:03.000 about the threat 0:10:03.000,0:10:06.642 that you feel this ex of his [br]poses to your relationship. 0:10:07.022,0:10:09.132 Then, if you wanna go further than that, 0:10:09.132,0:10:11.624 you can begin to positively focus. 0:10:11.624,0:10:15.186 How is your connection [br]secure with this boyfriend? 0:10:15.186,0:10:17.026 How can you be sure 0:10:17.026,0:10:20.646 that it's going to be maintained [br]regardless of whether she's there or not? 0:10:20.646,0:10:22.561 This world functions like a mirror, 0:10:22.561,0:10:25.490 which means that if we wish [br]to end hatred in the world, 0:10:25.490,0:10:28.459 we have to first end it within ourselves. 0:10:29.059,0:10:33.981 That means, we have to adress [br]the aspect of us that hates. 0:10:34.581,0:10:36.423 But I will give you a tip; 0:10:36.423,0:10:40.288 The aspect of you that hates is [br]not malevolent and it is not evil. 0:10:40.288,0:10:43.345 It is the aspect of you that [br]is a small crying child 0:10:43.345,0:10:45.602 that feels powerless [br]to the world around it, 0:10:45.602,0:10:47.771 powerless to the way it feels. 0:10:48.371,0:10:52.239 This child within you is the one [br]that needs the attention. 0:10:52.239,0:10:53.634 And when I say child, 0:10:53.634,0:10:56.689 I don't want you to then go into [br]the space where you're thinking 0:10:56.689,0:10:59.033 that a child is less evolved, 0:10:59.033,0:11:01.335 or that a child essentially 0:11:01.335,0:11:04.586 is not as spiritually enlightened 0:11:04.586,0:11:06.227 as an adult, 0:11:06.507,0:11:07.895 Because we love to do that. 0:11:07.895,0:11:08.829 We love to be like: 0:11:08.829,0:11:10.316 "Oh, it's the underdog 0:11:10.316,0:11:13.469 and it's sort of like lower [br]on the value scale 0:11:13.469,0:11:14.813 than my adult self". 0:11:14.813,0:11:17.691 That's not the way that [br]the inner child works. 0:11:17.691,0:11:20.530 But this is an aspect of you [br]that is deeply in pain. 0:11:20.530,0:11:22.946 And so it needs your conscious attention, 0:11:22.946,0:11:24.402 your conscious focus. 0:11:24.402,0:11:26.568 It needs you to know what it's scared of. 0:11:26.568,0:11:27.942 And it needs you to help it 0:11:27.942,0:11:30.237 to feel better about what it's scared of. 0:11:30.237,0:11:32.909 This small child is terrified 0:11:32.909,0:11:33.941 in a state of fear 0:11:33.941,0:11:36.946 and is reacting by trying to push [br]the thing that it's afraid of 0:11:36.946,0:11:38.642 away from itself. 0:11:38.762,0:11:40.911 We need to feel love and compassion 0:11:40.911,0:11:43.420 towards this aspect of us [br]that's feeling threatened. 0:11:43.420,0:11:46.176 And by doing this we create [br]more safety for ourselves 0:11:46.176,0:11:48.483 and this subdues the hatred. 0:11:48.863,0:11:50.409 Now before I continue, 0:11:50.409,0:11:52.666 I have to say that in the spiritual field, 0:11:52.666,0:11:55.360 hatred has become a bit like anger. 0:11:55.360,0:11:58.316 It's not okay to admit [br]that you feel that way. 0:11:58.316,0:12:00.639 In fact, you're SO not [br]spiritually enlightened 0:12:00.639,0:12:01.963 if you hate anything. 0:12:01.963,0:12:05.170 So, "just cram that deep down [br]inside and never admit to it." 0:12:05.170,0:12:07.433 ~ Laughs ~ 0:12:07.433,0:12:09.097 But here's the thing, 0:12:09.667,0:12:12.269 It's natural when we feel threatened, 0:12:12.269,0:12:14.998 to basically jump into a space of hate. 0:12:14.998,0:12:16.676 So it would be very rare 0:12:16.676,0:12:20.325 to meet somebody who is [br]genuinely free of all hatred. 0:12:20.325,0:12:22.534 And it's really, really damaging 0:12:22.534,0:12:25.944 for you to bury that aspect [br]of you deep down inside, 0:12:25.944,0:12:28.459 to stay unconscious of [br]it and not admit to it. 0:12:28.459,0:12:31.758 Suppressed hatred wreaks [br]havoc on your body 0:12:31.758,0:12:34.403 and it wreaks havoc on the world at large. 0:12:34.403,0:12:36.042 So, admit to what you hate 0:12:36.042,0:12:38.162 even if you're one of [br]those spiritual people 0:12:38.162,0:12:42.316 who is all about the love, light [br]and communion on this planet. 0:12:42.316,0:12:45.249 It's really important for you [br]to actually become conscious 0:12:45.249,0:12:46.733 of the hatred that you have, 0:12:46.733,0:12:48.964 so that can find some resolution to it, 0:12:48.964,0:12:52.053 instead of just trying to convince [br]yourself it doesn't exist. 0:12:52.053,0:12:53.253 On the other hand, 0:12:53.253,0:12:56.254 when we're not in the practice [br]of suppressing our hatred, 0:12:56.254,0:12:59.383 but we're also not conscious [br]enough to work with it directly, 0:12:59.383,0:13:02.094 we mistake the fight or flight [br]peak in energy we feel 0:13:02.094,0:13:03.995 and hatred for power. 0:13:04.115,0:13:06.432 Hatred is the opposite of power. 0:13:06.722,0:13:09.730 It only occurs when we feel [br]powerless to a threat. 0:13:09.730,0:13:11.809 When we become reactive. 0:13:12.019,0:13:15.115 Instead of addressing the internal [br]world and it's state of fear, 0:13:15.115,0:13:17.631 we try to eradicate the threat itself. 0:13:17.751,0:13:20.966 We rage war against it in [br]order to try to get rid of it. 0:13:20.966,0:13:24.156 This does not work in a universe[br]based on the law of attraction, 0:13:24.156,0:13:26.251 where whatever you resist persists. 0:13:26.251,0:13:28.598 This is exactly why people [br]in the media say 0:13:28.598,0:13:30.866 that bad press is good press. 0:13:31.166,0:13:33.958 Hating someone feels bad. 0:13:34.158,0:13:36.246 It doesn't just feel bad to the person 0:13:36.246,0:13:38.334 who is on the receiving end of our hate, 0:13:38.334,0:13:40.506 it feels bad to us. 0:13:41.086,0:13:43.208 We have a tendency of thinking 0:13:43.208,0:13:44.521 when we feel hatred, 0:13:44.521,0:13:47.299 that whatever we are [br]perceiving to be a threat, 0:13:47.299,0:13:50.164 is what is causing that feeling within us. 0:13:50.494,0:13:52.556 But in fact it's just our reaction 0:13:52.556,0:13:55.419 to something we perceive to be a threat. 0:13:55.949,0:13:59.160 That means that hatred is not [br]really anybody else's problem. 0:13:59.510,0:14:00.999 It's our problem. 0:14:00.999,0:14:03.355 And it deserves our conscious attention. 0:14:03.355,0:14:07.127 Even if they have done [br]things to justify the hatred, 0:14:07.457,0:14:09.911 the one power that we do have, 0:14:09.911,0:14:12.936 is to deal with our reaction to them 0:14:12.936,0:14:14.572 and what they did. 0:14:14.862,0:14:16.756 This is good news because it means 0:14:16.756,0:14:19.431 we are not powerless to our hatred. 0:14:19.871,0:14:22.136 Hatred is a cover emotion 0:14:22.136,0:14:24.288 for feeling pain, 0:14:24.288,0:14:26.301 hurt and fear. 0:14:26.301,0:14:28.054 So address that pain, 0:14:28.054,0:14:29.757 that hurt and that fear 0:14:29.997,0:14:31.851 and then conscioussly focus 0:14:31.851,0:14:34.815 on anything that causes you to feel safer, 0:14:34.815,0:14:36.458 to feel joy, 0:14:36.458,0:14:39.221 to feel that state of integrity. 0:14:39.731,0:14:43.147 And watch your hatred disappear. 0:14:43.867,0:14:45.456 Have a good week.
