 Love Your Enemies
13. You have heard that it has been said: You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you who listen: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. (Chap. 25:13
Christ explains, corrects
and deepens the word:
The commandment of life reads, “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.”
Every person should see his neighbor, his brother and sister, in each of his fellow men. Even in your seeming enemy, you should recognize your neighbor and strive to love him selflessly.
The seeming enemy can even be a good mirror for your self-recognition when you become upset because of the hostility, which may have many faces; for when something about your neighbor upsets you, the same or similar thing is in you, as well.
However, if you are able to forgive your neighbor, who has blamed and accused you, without being unduly agitated, no correspondence is in you; that is, you do not have the same or similar thing in you and thus, no resonance for this in your soul. It is possible that, in a former life, you already cleared up and atoned what you were accused of – or even that you never built it up in your soul. Then, it was only in the soul of the one who thought and spoke against you and accused you. Therefore, if no emotion reverberates in you, if no echo comes from your soul, then you were a mirror for him. Whether he looks into this mirror for his human ego or not – leave that to God and to him, His child.
Recognize: Even the mere sight of you stirs his conscience and reflects to him that, for example, he once thought and spoke unlawfully about you. Now he has the chance to clear it up. If he does this, by repenting and henceforth no longer thinking or doing the same or similar thing, then it is removed, that is, transformed, in his soul. Only then will he see you with the eyes of inner light.
A sign that the unlawful has been transformed into the positive in a soul is the good will and understanding toward one’s neighbor.
