How can I be inclusive of my enemy while fully experiencing the emotion of hatred?

Embrace your hatred as a part of yourself, for in acknowledging it, you transform the enemy into a mirror reflecting your own wounds, paving the way for compassion.

— Osho
According to Osho, to be inclusive even of your ‘enemy,’ neither suppress hatred nor dump it on them. See the other as merely instrumental—an opportunity revealing your own stored hate. Thank them, own the energy by saying ‘I am hatred,’ and release it into open awareness rather than onto a person. This inclusion dissolves the ego’s split and transforms hate into understanding, opening space for compassion.

Feel your hate fully without blaming or hurting the other person; see them as a mirror showing what’s inside you, admit “this is my hate,” and let it pass.
