Re: Metaphysics, Hell is Other People
I heard a metaphysical lecture awhile back, the title of the lecture was:
" Hell is Other People "
The speaker went on to say in a given day they woke up feeling great, the sky was blue, the birds were singing and then they met a people, who said, " Hi, Gee, Are you okay, you look kinda pale, are you sick, have you been ill?
The lecturer, a metaphysician, said instantly they saw the poison spiritual thought knives coming out of the persons mouth at them with such unthinking comments and thought projections.
That is only a tiny small example of why, 'Hell is Other People'
I learned from that lecture to have LOWER EXPECTATIONS of people and surprizingly since learning, Hell is Other People, I am disappointed less often, am more aware, and now I encounter much more kindness from people in my daily life, which I view as unexpected SERINDIPITY.
A favorite saying I learned when encountering hell is other people is to look at the other person and calmly say, What reaction are you trying to provoke in me? or
What reaction are you trying to get from me?
Many people are unconscious of thier own motives, or do not like to be called out on thier motives in saying unthinking words or doing unthinking things, so usually I just got a dumb stare as an answer to that question. Now I rarely encounter negative people and when I do I minimize my exposure to them, or if led to by God to do so, I silently cast out and transform thier demons back to God.
