Mainstream movies in the Western culture are extremely violent. People are hocked on violence as on drugs. News is also violent. Obviously this is one of the first things that need fixing, but I don't have a recipe for that. The problem here is that people chose what to watch. Just releasing non-violent movies will not replace the violent ones. People will continue to choose violent movies since they are already hooked on violence. Introducing censorship is not a good option since people would simply revolt against it. The world already overcame the idea of totalitarian censorship and censorship will be taken as a step back. In addition, censorship is a part of mind control. People take freedom of information very seriously. The only good way is openly discussing the violence and explaining how it damages the culture and people's minds. That path is difficult. Maybe a good idea would be to create movies and a fashion of avoiding violence. Say, since hippies, it is not fashionable anymore to wear natural fur. It is considered bad to use animals for luxury. People still eat meet and kill other people but fur is not fashionable in America anymore. It would be nice to make violence non-fashionable. That would be a great change. It would also affect sports. Many of human sports are violent. Boxing, martial arts and American football are most violent. They got to go too. I wonder how many generations will it take to make the violence and violent sports unfashionable... So far it seems like a distant dream. We need few miracles here.
It is interesting that our actors are capable to evoke, control and change emotions at will when they are playing on scene. Good actors do experience true emotions every time the play them. This implies that emotions can be controlled by logical mind and that they don't have as much inertia as most of people assume.
I believe that much of our thinking and emotional work happens in higher dimensions. Also I observed (indirectly) that emotions and other higherdimentional processes have inertia and have their own life and speed. I don't know, but assume that emotions are shared by humans on collective subconscious level. People evoke them from another dimension and use them as stereotypic behaviors. Actors are trained to do it in a more efficient and controlled manner. As I learn to rationally evoke my emotions from Bashar and Spock, I find it becomes a bit easier with practice. It helps greatly to invite an emotion, to engage in behavior appropriate for the emotion and most importantly not to scare it with cynicism. I find that I typically repress emotions with disbelief, suspicion, jokes, and other negative actions. Some emotions require purity of intention. As pure vibrations, they come to pure heart. The word heart here is a euphemism for whatever is the physical base of emotions. As far as I can tell, they require coordination of heart, brain and other organs, so I avoid saying brain, I say logical mind, since it is distributed over many organs. Liver, spleen, intestine, bones, skin, hair and other organs are all involved in emotional life. Much is to be researched and learned here.
Now, as we learned more about emotions, let's define hatred in a more definitive manner. Hatred for a person is a stereotypical thinking and possibly behavior which unites conscious and subconscious mind and is aimed against the hated person. Hatred doesn't necessarily mean a desire of harm to the hated person. Some people may simply want to avoid contact, influences and negative actions from hated person. Others may want to bring harm onto the hated person. Some people may hate a person which is unreachable, such as living or diseased tyrant. The hatred behavior and thinking stereotypes are learned. People may find hard to experience an emotion which they never come across before. For example, there is an emotion of petting a dog. I love teaching it to children, many of which are strangers. Dogs look scary to unprepared people and the idea of petting a dog is foreign to many. So it takes sharing a stereotype to teach a good emotion. Giving Reiki and foot massage, healing someone, giving someone a psychic message are stereotypical behaviors which can be taught. They come with their own emotions.
The emotion of hatred oversimplifies things. A hating person is believing that she has a right to judge someone, that she is good and someone is bad. Hatred often comes paired with righteousness. To hate someone, it requires seeing someone as an "other" and this other has to be worth the hatred. So hating someone is placing self on the level compatible with hatred. The whole idea of hatred implies that people can be bad and that we are not reflections of one another. Hatred involves much of self-delusion. The bad qualities and bad intents of the hated person are amplified and good qualities of self are amplified as well. Hating person has to imagine self to be vulnerable and hated person to be taking advantage and intending to harm the hating person. Much of paranoia is involved. Paranoia is a process when possible dangers are perceived much larger than they are and fear is amplified and often results in hatred and negative action. Stalin is an example of extreme paranoia. He killed many of his loyal supporters including his wife because he suspected all of treason.
Hatred is typical for humans especially for humans in the past. This is the way they were divided and competed to each other. Hatred is the main emotion supporting wars. Hatred is often an emotion experienced in competitive sports, especially in martial arts. The strength of hatred to enemy is often determining the victory.
