In between all of these, of course, I named other friends and family members. It was a truly cleansing experience.
The most rewarding of all, though, was using the names of my enemies, and making them seem more human to me, and the names of my most dear ones, and getting the sense of comforting one another in spirit. That doesn’t mean I’m going to go up to someone I don’t get along with and hug them next time I see them, but if I do this enough, it could make difficult relations with others better, and the good relationships even stronger.
Wow. that sounds like a really powerful exercise.
Actually, that sounds similar to one of the rituals I wrote. It comes to much the same thing - focusing on the idea that various people, whether we like them or not, are of the Divine.
