“It turns out our dignity is closely linked to our unity.”
In today’s Daily Metta, Michael tries to get us to look beyond the surface of hatred toward any particular group to the issue of hatred itself. What causes that and what can we do to challenge it, for the good of everyone?

We cannot love our “enemies.”
Human species’ toxic relationship to power in dominant culture is being acted out and acted on in all ongoing global crises. Issues of othering and lack of heart unity obscurred in perpetuating trauma of survival of the “fittest.”
Is it possible to get a transcript of the daily metta?
HI Lenza,
OUr friend Matthew has a sliding scale/gift economy transcription service. If you’d like a transcript, why not contact him, matwat7@gmail.com? If you have a transcript done of a talk, would you kindly send it to Metta, too, so we can share it out?
We can send you a donation receipt for it.
Also, the talks are following Search for a Nonviolent Future, so you might also want to have that book near you when a DM comes to your in-box!
Warmest wishes, Stephanie
