This is the first episode in a 4-part series on "Love, Compassion & Co-Dependence."
Shamanic practitioner and teacher Dory Cote addresses these questions:
• Dory, a listener has asked if you could help her understand how she can possibly love someone if she doesn’t like her? She has a cousin who bugs her and does not share her values so she really does not like her cousin and does not want to spend time with her cousin. But her family and she feel that she is supposed to LOVE her cousin. How does she do that and not compromise her own values and feelings? [0:40]
• Your answer discusses different kinds of love. From a shamanic perspective, how can love have different qualities or “ways of being”. [6:35]
• Some listeners have expressed difficulty in accepting what you have said previously about the need to love everyone regardless of their acts of hatred, terrorism, abuse and their attitudes that reflect destruction of widely accepted morality. What can you say to them that might be helpful? [13:10]
