Many of my friends’ and former gfs parents tend to dislike me. It’s not that I ever did anything bad to them or their kids. I think they just sense that I’m a bad influence. Which is accurate, if the goal is for their kids to follow the rules & paint within the lines.

They don’t dislike you. They dislike their projections. Meditation instruction is a dangerous social game.

I find it interesting to watch the ebb and flow of a student’s attitude towards me. Not to say if a student projects shadow material I don’t feel initially triggered.

If at some point(s) they don’t really dislike you, you’re doing it wrong.

Do you have any writings on metabolizing the dislike and maintaining wakefulness? Seems an underserved topic for instructors. Would love to work on this

No, but it’s a good idea for a subject to write about. The basic idea is that it’s a form of trigger practice.

Or to podcast about! It’s a hugely useful and under developed subject to explore. I often faced a similar challenge in the practice of law, and lawyers definitely don’t have any tools to manage the transferance.

I’m hoping to get some blog posters from you for DY in 2018, Erik. Might be a fascinating topic.
