Harmony Against Hate

Grand Master • 3 September 2025

Hatred is the child of disharmony and fear

When you give way to Hate, and the wrathfulness, anxiety, fixation and violence that it encourages, you are in a state of chronic and fatal Disharmony. Even if you seek to unite with others who hate as you do, all parties are swamped with all forms of disharmony and imbalance, both visible and subtle. Even if you hide your hatred behind euphemisms, slogans, rationalisations and excuses, still the point and purpose will dissolve in the Light of Reason, and lead to misery, futility and destruction.

Even when you have a
  genuine  cause to feel animosity towards another - for instance, if you are an innocent victim of abuse, oppression, bigotry, violence, or microaggression - it is still unwise to allow this to pitch into the extreme of hatred. Hatred blinds us, manipulates our reason, gives us the illusion of strength and righteousness to hide our weakness and fear from ourselves and others; it leaves us vulnerable to manipulation and radicalisation by unscrupulous forces, making us tools and weapons in an insane war, the high cost of which our Hate makes us incapable of understanding.

In every instance where hatred and oppression of others is a motivator, the results are always destructive, corrupting, demoralising and ultimately futile. Whether your Hate is directed towards a gender, a phenotype, a religion, a culture, a class, or a political movement, it is still a sign of disharmony, imbalance and the infiltration of Evil into the Soul, and the Body. Hatred can topple governments, perpetuate divisions, toxify families, destroy communities, incentivise war, and ruin the lives of good people.


It's time to let it all go.


Harmony, and happiness, comes not only from healthy boundaries, clear reasoning, fair treament and respect both given and received, but also from learning to let go, learning to accept the things we cannot (and should not) control, learning to accept that everyone is actually  different; even biological twins have different bodies, personalities and Souls. Why would we need to favour cosmetic similarities of appearance or background to such a dangerous and extreme degree? It can only be in an attempt to control everything. And such a pathological need for control is based in FEAR.


The human commonalities that unite us are a Chain of Union, not Slavery; our communities are not supposed to be commoditised into a uniform, a product, an exception, an elite, or a badge of honour. The human family, with all its genuine problems, challenges and imperfections, is NEVER improved by Hate.


Only Harmony and Rectitude can bring peace, and these manifest in calmness, good-will, honour, honesty, integrity, faith, and a generous heart tempered with loving wisdom. Be wise. Don't hate.
