We have all had the experience of knowing someone who acted as an enemy. Are such people karmic? Or are they just doing bad things? And how do we love such difficult souls?

Maybe it turns karmic if we deal with them a certain way. Maybe leaving them to their own devices might turn bad karma away as well.

I don't think I can love a difficult ego, but the spirit is inescapable.

What was that line by Yogananda, "He is like a mouthful of hot molasses: too hot to swallow, but too sticky to spit out!"

.....and you what does one called Starling have as an opinion on such matters?

It seems i have created a few myself. Perhaps it is because i did not act the way they thought to be appropriate. i do not consider them enemies. Although some of them have done some evil things. Could it be we are facing are karma through others? Maybe we cannot - at this time - love such difficult ones. Maybe we have not yet found such love. Though we aspire for it.

I guess if someone is causing you trouble, doesn't mean it is automatically a sign of bad karma. But if this is someone who knows you, or someone who keeps returning to your life...it may be unresolved issue between two that is playing itself out. I believe we are all children of God, and we all have the right to protect ourselves, yet the same law of love comes into the picture. It can be one of our greatest tests to show love to thosewe feel are enemies. I guess if we are not up to the task of being able to love our enemies, we need to ask God to love them for us.

Yes with many people we have mixed karma. It can not be so easily classified as bad or good. If we really know that someone can be treacherous or is a drain on us it is much easier to let them go. Life is full of unresolved situations that is why we are here... to understand them and learn from them.

'Enemies' is quite a strong word. If we really feel this way about someone we can distance ourselves from them. i personally do not have any enemies in my life. But i do believe that some people do not mean me any good so i choose to stay as far as i can from them until their attitude is quite different. Fortunately there are many kind people in my life so i do not have to continually be around those who are not. i hope your life is the same Starling. If it is not you have friends here and i have always considered you a friend. Thanks for coming back to the Portal and spending time with us. i hope to spend more meaningful time with you! Your last line is memorable: "I guess if we are not up to the task of being able love our enemies we need to ask God to do it for us"

I think we must do it ourselves, with the power that God has given us. I don't hate the spirit at work that bothers me, I just don't love the attitude. To me, it is apples and oranges.

"Having a soulmate is not always about love. You can find your soulmate in a friendship too" Just something i read on the internet. Not sure who's idea but i like it. You can find a soulmate in a friendship too. Would you agree? We love people in many ways. Love becomes more and more part of our lives and it is expressed in many ways. We begin to learn this on the spiritual path. Often people are taken from us for this expressed purpose. It is not what we have but what we are becoming that counts the most and eventually what we find out we really are.

Hi Steve, just wanted to comment..

I've read soul mates can exist in groups. A collective of sorts... the details of which are surely as vast as ones imagination, perhaps more. ((?))

I've a couple friends I can think of that may belong to my little star group 😊🐛animals included !

Hi. I'm new to this site reading this recent post, which is a great question by the way on karma and people doing evil or harmful things. from my experience, each person, each connection good or bad brings reflection and opportunity for growth. People are people that have potential for expending a lot of harm or very little harm - if you look at yourself and say, "oh not me, never" well possibly you haven't been put in a position for it to come out yet - life is a mystery that cannot be compartmentalized - each day is anew with so many variables seen and unseen. I try to wake up each day and say, this is how I would like to positively respond to life's experiences today, sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn't. when it doesn't i wake up a little more to human nature. I also try to remember that all so called "evil doers" have a mother. I am beginning to see more and more that working on the mind and character are more important than working on "the spirit". thanks for this outlet letting me share. Kalunga

'Being put in a position for it to come out' as you say is very true for me over the years. I really did not know how I would respond to another person or a sequence of events until they happened. In retrospect I would have done it much different . But how did we know that such things would happen?  How did we know people we spend so much time with would react the way they have towards  us? We may have thought we acted appropriate at the time but someone else may have looked at things quite different. So that is where the 'reflection and time for growth' come in.

Perhaps you are finding that 'working on the mind and character' are more important than 'working on the spirit'
because we can work on our mind and character and increase our ability to express our spirit in the process.
The spirit is something we tap into. We can do all the right things and nothing spiritually seems to happen. It is by grace that we have spiritual experience.... by grace.  We only can do what the great ones have told us. If we  can follow their advice we will eventually experience spirit. When we do have spiritual experience our faith and motivation increases. Yet we will be discouraged again. This is the human part. But even the discouragement  develops tolerance and compassion . Because we understand more and more what it is like to be human and what others are going through in this struggle we face in being in truth what we really are and not as we have imagined we were. This struggle to find self-realization.
