Why Don’t We Like Certain People?

Why don’t we like certain people?
And conversely, why don’t they like – or ignore – us?

We can feel uncomfortable around them, and they us.

We see a person in the street, and we neither like nor dislike that person. There is just observation. We can smile, and that is communication. When we talk, however, judgement arises. It’s the ideas that we judge, and this separates us. We see the degree of understanding or misunderstanding, and they, in turn, make the same judgements about us. 

When walking into a room full of people, there those we’re attracted to, those we steer clear of, and those we ignore. This is the gross principles or laws of the universe at work: attraction, repulsion and indifference. This duality is the cause of constant conflict in the world.

So how do we communicate?

People are on different frequencies – what we have in common, or what we don’t have in common. Either way, it’s a temporary incident. What we have in common is that first instant of a smile … that’s it. That moment is pure consciousness, pure acknowledgement. What happens after that adds to our karma.

We are on individual paths to enlightenment. Due to our levels of confusion, it’s rare to meet someone with the same patterning, but we can all empathise as we have each experienced every emotion that is possible in the universe.

When we rest in the confidence of non-duality,
we transcend the gross laws of the universe.

As M.C. Hammer said, “You can’t touch this.”
