We find that there is a person we just can’t stand. The mere mention of their name arouses feelings of hatred and utter disgust. Such is the experience of many in these extremely polarized times in which we live.

Therapeutically, there is value in assessing whether this gripping emotional experience is a function of a psychological defense, whereby the unconscious projects an unwanted part of ourself onto the personality of another person, relieving us of owning this unacceptable part of ourself.

We then vicariously continue to live, yet not own, that part of ourself through our obsession with, and hatred of, this other character. To introspectively investigate such vicarious aspects of self is called shadow work, which results in the retrieval of, and reconciliation with, rejected parts of the personality.

As valuable as owning one’s projections might be, we often remain extremely doubtful that our emotional reaction is rooted in a shadow projection from ourselves. We remain utterly unconvinced of our part in the problem, and remain gripped by hatred for this ‘evil’ person. Another approach to relief from this rigid fixation is to transmute one’s feeling state through the use of the Hermetic Law of Vibration.  

This law of vibration states that everything that exists is in motion, generating a vibration. Physical matter is vibratory energy densely packed into solid form, obviously moving at a very slow rate of vibration. Subtle mental energy states of our being—such as that of our soul, or energy body—move at a very rapid rate of vibration, which accounts for the ability to swiftly move through physical walls when out of body.

Emotions, energy in motion, have their own vibratory states. When we feel hatred, we are heavy of mood and emit a low vibratory state that alienates others and depresses our own energy state. When we feel love, our mood is light and welcoming, positively impacting those around us and invigorating our own creative juices.

Clearly, emotions are part of a continuum of vibratory energy, with love and hate at polar opposite coordinates on the same scale of emotion. If we can shift our position from the negative point of hate to the positive position of love, we can experience a positive vibration that transforms our internal experience and impacts the outer world as well.

To facilitate this transmutation of emotion, we begin by engaging the will of our conscious ego to fixate its attention upon the desired emotion. Where we place our attention is the vibration of what we will become. To disengage from hate, we intentionally focus on the opposite, love, which builds the suggestion to the subconscious mind to manifest a changed experience within and without.

The components of this suggestion include thought, emotion and imagination. Thought is directive intention. In the case of the hated person we begin by stating, “I have compassion for __________.”  It does not matter that you begin by not believing or feeling this emotion. You are fixating your intent upon generating this vibratory experience. State this phrase frequently, incessantly.

Next engage your imagination. Visualize this person as part of the All of Creation, who is struggling to grow to a higher vibration, the destiny of all life. Know that however stuck and misguided they may be, they have the capacity for positive change. Telepathically transmit this vote of confidence as a suggestion to their subconscious mind.

Within your own imagination, visualize them as a totally transformed, positive being. Feel their joy at having achieved such a positive transformation. Visualize their changed impact upon the world from such a positive perch.

Embellish your mental movie and thoughts with a strong desire for major transformation. Feel empathy for a fellow flawed human. Feel excitement for their unfolding enlightenment and freedom from the bondage of negativity. Express gratitude for the power of the infinite intelligence and divine substance of the subconscious mind to materialize such a positive vibration, within the self and the world.

Exercise the will vigilantly to firmly plant this suggestion in the subconscious mind. Let go with the absolute certainty that the divine powers within will attract the necessary material to manifest this intent. Be patient but persistent in stating, feeling, and imagining this intent.

Success is guaranteed. Feel the lightness and warmth of your own changed emotional state. You have transmuted yourself from that hating person to a being of light and love, radiating positivity for the higher vibration of the greater good. The world is a better place.
