There is no more powerful medicine than the practice of loving our enemy. The extent to which we are outraged is a measure of the transformative power that will be released when we surrender to the healing response of love. No potion, talisman, incantation, or spiritual ally can come close to the Earth-shaking power of the shamanic practice of loving those who are most difficult to love. This is where the heart becomes an instrument of alchemy and transforms noxious odors into nectars of the gods. Here darkness is turned into the golden rainbow body of luminous wisdom.
