This seems to be the defining challenge of 3D for the STO path. Has anyone reached this stage?
I know that some religious devotees may have less difficulty with this lesson because they have devoted their lives to realising the Creator in all things. I sometimes think of people that annoy me as me annoying myself, which is quite a situation to be in.
I'm listening to this podcast, which gives some insight.
Quo said the following:
When I see hostility, I think of the entity as being lost. Not that it makes is easier to accept that behaviour. I still find the negative things that humans do to each other appalling. I would think that that then creates the opportunity to change the feeling of being appalled into the feeling of love for the Creator in all its variation. Maybe this is a lesson that we have incarnated here to learn?

Quo said the following:
Quote:We would ask you, however, to keep one thing in mind, and that is, the simple message that we have to bring: All is one. And so, when you contemplate that simple truth from a very practical point of view, it yields the conclusion that you are the one whose conduct is giving you difficulty. You are not two, but one, with the miscreant. You are not two, but one with the criminal; you are not two, but one with the other one who wishes not only to sleep, but within that sleep, to reach out and do harm.
There is, within the creation, probably no more difficult question, for we could say, and in some sense we will say, that to the extent that you can absorb the hostility that is offered you from one of your fellow citizens, that is all to the good, and that is, in fact, one of the reasons that wanderers have incarnated upon this planet at this time. It is not simply a question of shining your light, which you may do; it is not simply a question of sharing with others that wisdom which it has been yours to discover, but it is, at a more visceral level, a matter of taking in the negative catalyst that is on offer to you, and transmuting that negative energy into simple unpresupposing love. That, we can say, surely is true, but as we also must add, it is not always possible for you, for there can come occasions when the strength of the negative catalyst that has been presented to you is so overwhelming that it exceeds your capacity to transmute it into love, and there is great danger for you, that it would have a tendency so to distort your process should you allow it to come in, that you, yourself, could be thrown dramatically off your center.
