way too much hate in me

when it comes to the point that you no longer resist to the temptation of hatred, feel compelled like never before to both verbal and physical violence, coming to the point of wishing the worst to happen in order to have chances to wipe out your enemies, when in short you dont feel any longer that peace is a viable solution for problems, tell me old hippies, one (me) could still consider himself some kind of hippie and make attempts or must accept the fact that so long he was a wolf disguised as a lamb and should stop attempting to learn-how-to-graze ?

 

You should accept that you are human and you come equipped with all of the human weaknesses that we all do. Therefore you are susceptible to the pains and frustrations of life, with the resultant feelings of anger and hate. It is then the good in us that trys to rise above those baser feelings and instincts. Keep trying and don't be disheartened by you failures. Try to learn from them so that you can be a better person the next time around.

 

Your consumed with hate and your concern is if you're still a hippie?

 

First you have to get your own house in order and realize peace is a viable solution for problems. It just takes a little more work..

Peace

 

the healing power of words should never be underestimated. as naive as may sound, your suggestions already made me feel a little bit on the way out of this slippery pit of black deadly hate i fell into. maybe it is just that i dont talk to people so much and lately i've got even more unsociable . things that go wrong. people that deceive and just plain rob you when you showed empathy to them before. the awful truth. newspapers. living together with nutcases. assholes around who seem screaming "come on, play bowling with my teeth", and when you actually do that you feel a lot better. health that fades away. the perpetual confrontation with a society of cannibals disguised as christians. here's how i find myself back to the starting point , to my basic personality which i was sure was dead and buried long ago before my personal inner revolution and now comes back , more fierce and aggressive than ever . too easy to be true. i have still a lot to do. so my concern is not if i am still a hippie but who the f*** am I ?

 

I face the same feelings man. Whether its anger generated by my frustration or disgust for myself and humanity, or hate that spawns within my heart when i see attrocities, i too am guilty of being consumed by hate and anger. But, when it all falls down, does being hateful and angry make you any happier or at peace? Not for me atleast. We are human, and we do make mistakes. If you find yourself lapsing into a hateful outbreak, let it burn, but control it, and dont beat yourself too much over it, that will only make things worse. After the fire is out, reflect on what has made you angry or what you experienced that was hate worthy. People may be more willing to listen to a collected and calm man, than a wild eyed psycho.

Hippies are good role models, not everyone can be one, and there may never be a carbon copy Hippie movement again, but you can certainly learn from what they lived, preached, and thought. Take what has come to bloom from the past, and use it to build a new age.

 

gospel. well i'm starting to realize that after all the one who ignites those massive loads of anger in me is, well, me. and it is not mandatory to do that at every single provocation coming from some random moron with free time in his hands...or maybe i repressed my feeling too hard for too long and now they grow thicker.... like hair lol .

 

i guess mastery over mind, is mastery over anger.

much love, and good luck

 

Just because you can sometimes feel hate, doesn't mean you aren't a hippie, and for no reason should you think that you're not who you think you are because of a natural human instinct. You just need to psych yourself into overcoming that instinct... and it's not easy, but I don't think you should call yourself a wolf in sheep's clothing, because once in a while, everyone feels hate.

 

thanks, jagerhans and zeberwood..

i feel the same, over variety of different things,

and am asking myself... where has my calm and gentle self gone?

where are all these violent thouhts comming from?

from myself, obviously.
yes, from my animal, human nature...
but that is where mind and heart should kick in... and resolve the conflict in ourselves, first...

peace.

 

Anger is the fuel that creates change. Anger is also your fear coming to the surface. Anger is your demands and expectations being made honest. Anger is the next step from sadness.

Hatred is your helplessness unmasked. Hatred simply means it's time to move on to something else. Hatred is a dead end, a locked door. A giving up. Hatred is something to avoid and can be counteracted with understanding and compassion.

Your demands and expectations are the why of it. If you can change these to preferences rather than demands, your anger can subside and you will find much less room for hatred.

Step back, remove yourself for a bit and watch the movie unfolding, put your self in the other guys shoes, and don't lose the good in your SELF for some temporary insanity. Nobody listens when you yell anyhow. All they do is start yelling back and everyone makes a fool out of themselves. Trying to be right by force makes everybody wrong.

 

very wise and beautiful, earthmother...

 

Hate is simply pent up negative energy. You, yourself are not advancing so you find others idiosyncrasies intolerable. You see yourself in others, the self you keep private, your inner thoughts and judgments.

Things we cannot change, like human frailities make us feel helpless, we dont like feeling helpless and we grow to hate our own weakness we see in others. We draw negativity to us as we expel negative energy into the universe and that is what is returned to us, perfected, perfected into pure negativity.

We should find something positive in each person we meet. Everyone has some redeaming quality that saves them from being a dark one. Look at your own qualties, your true self, your Spirit that Loves, that tiny corner inside your soul that makes you happy, like hearing a baby's laughter or hearing your favorite song, or watching the sunset with someone you feel close to. Even the simplicity of smelling a flower can bring you joy, if you open up and let it in.

You create you own aura, go gently, flowing with the stream of the universe of your body, the rythem that beats within your heart, listen to what your higher spirit self is saying to you, be still and wait for the enlightenment to fill you with an understanding of self. Be true to that, be awake.

There is no such thing as hate. Just the absence of love. Change that, and your life will be a lot better.

 

Think and feel whatever you want but remember anything you do to hurt others will come back to you.

 

And YES, you can be a hippie and still feel these negative emotions. The fact that it concerns you and you want to do something about it is a very good sign.

 

even the woman who took your man away from you?

 

yeah,
i guess, we all feel the same, all people...
only difference is what we do with those feelings,
how do we decide to act upon them...

 

It doesnt necessarily apply to ppl that have already done you wrong, you already have something against them and will not allow yourself to see any good in them untill your get over it yourself. but I'm sure neither of them should be condemed to death.. If the man was willing to go he was not yours in the first place, only temporary substitutes, even in these actions I'm sure they both still have redeeming qualities even if you do not like/see them. No one can steal what is yours, it still remains yours if it belongs to you, with you. Would you be happy with a man that was so easily led astray, when one door closes another one opens.

It is not fun when it happens, but you live through it and find out later it Was the best thing for you after all. By holding these negative energies to you, you bind yourself to them. Set yourself free and find someone that can deliver to you what you need from them, let go and release and blow it out, get rid of it and draw in a more positive outlook, raidaite it from every cell and you become it.

So, Heifer, what is it that you do exactly in your everyday life? Your embrace of posistive energy is quite profound. Here's my dilema. I see the bad in people around me. Then I remove myself from them. I literally cannot stand them. This goes for anyone, friends, family, and even girlfriends. When I'm alone I feel at a certain peace, most of the time. Then I hear what I miss out on. It makes me feel bad, so I begin to trust them again. At this point I feel I have let my guard down and instead of being a coward, I should've just moved on and realize that this situtation will never change. Every bad quality I feel I have I see in them. It's like instead of changing I look for acceptance. Please enlighten.
