Law 4 Awaken Lesson 6-Expect to be Hated

After spending years developing what became the O-Shot® procedure, I offered the treatment to Susan. She had suffered permanent scarring of her vagina and anus from the physical abuse dealt her by her former husband.

On her lunch hour, Susan walked to my office from the bank where she; and we did the procedure.

One month later, Susan called me.
“The pain I suffered during sex is gone completely,” she exclaimed. “And, I’m not leaking urine when I run or needing to get out of bed to use the restroom—I’m able to hold my urine. Because I’m now able to sleep and exercise, I feel much better overall and I’ve lost weight.”

Six months later, Susan married her high school sweetheart.

Soon, I started teaching and researching and talking to the press about the O-Shot® procedure.

Then came the surprise.

Sex therapists and other physicians started attacking me online. Even though the materials and methods we use to do the O-Shot® procedure (PRP) had been researched for over a decade (with positive results and a very safe side effect profile), extreme, hate-filled posts and writings appeared regarding me and the other 1,000 plus providers of the O-Shot® procedure (including gynecologists and urologists).

Reading the criticisms of those who poured the hate, it was easy to see that those who hated us understood neither PRP nor how we did the procedure; they made assumptions based on a less-than-awake and less-than-informed state.

Still, I initially felt surprised and hurt. Those feelings of mine were very immature.

When you awaken to Truth about your occupation, your health practices, your love relations, you will (because you are awake) see things that others cannot see.

The man who discovered heart catheterization was kicked out of his hospital. The man who first suggested that physicians wash their hands after delivering babies—also, kicked out of the hospital and died in the insane asylum.

Socrates was forced to drink poison. Boethius, Mandela, Bunyan were all imprisoned. Please make note: they were imprisoned not for harming another person but for their ideas about how to bring peace and harmony.

Dr. George Sheehan, the cardiologist—who wrote a regular article in Runners World about the health benefits of running—was considered to be a quack by his colleagues. It’s difficult to comprehend now, but in the 1970’s cardiologists largely thought that because the left ventricle of the heart enlarged in runners, that running was not beneficial to longevity. Now we know that aerobic exercise does more to prevent heart disease than any blood pressure or diabetes medication.

But, George Sheehan was largely hated by many cardiologists of the 1970s.

When you wake up and then live the truth that you see when awake, you will be disliked. You will not only be debated and opposed, (listen carefully) when you wake up and live the truth you see—by some, you will be HATED.

HATED.

I promise.

It’s not “maybe” someone will not like you.
I’m guaranteeing—HATED.

You may even be harmed in reputation, financially, or even bodily.

When the hate happens, you note it so you can think strategically; but, if you pay too much attention to the hate, you will modify your life to live the truth of the haters. Then, you die in spirit and become despondent, or dull, or even spiritually or physically dead. The muse hides. The angels cry. And you join the timid who run with the mob rather than the brave who fight with their GOD.

Read.
Observe.
Listen.
Then, go inside. That is where you find your awake Self and Your principles of health.

Then, as you live your truth, expect to be hated.

Previous lessons in the Law of Health discuss the need for Love and Fight to find health; but, when it comes to becoming Awake, since arrows are deflected more easily when expect, you would do well to remember to expect to be hated.

Important

C.S. Lewis noted that there are three reasons for pain and suffering: (1) pain as a consequence doing wrong (2) pain for doing good, and (3) pain for reasons we don’t understand.

Ted Bundy and Mahatma Gandhi were both loved and hated during their life. Bundy was swooned over; Gandhi was demonized and assassinated. Since both doing good and doing wrong can lead to pain, then pain and the hatred or love of others cannot be a reliable gauge. No worries though because the test is simple: Is that I’m doing helping others or hurting them?

Go inside and ask and answer that question. That is your guide. For strategy, you can note the hate and the love from outside, but for your purpose and your health practices, use that simple test.

Do Today

In a quiet place, ask yourself just two questions:

1. Does everyone like me?
   (If the answer is “yes”) Am I not doing something that would lead to better health of me and those around me so that I can be liked by all?
2. Does anyone dislike or hate me?
   (If the answer is “yes”) Is the thing for which I am hated bringing better or lesser health and happiness to others?
