Hate-Mapping
Internal vs. External
External Projection
Feeding the Shadows
Viewing the world’s fractures as a separate problem caused by “everyone else.” Sidestepping inner friction through avoidance.
Result: Global conflict.
Hate-Mapping
The Practical Reframe
Asking “What is the shape of my hate?” Identifying somatic heat and tribal mechanisms. Feeding our own healing and development.
Result: Conscious Growth.
The World as a Reflection
Global problems are often just outward manifestations of the internal problems we neglect to explore. We look at the news and speak of “the world’s problems” as though we are separate from them, but the fractures in the world are largely a reflection of the human mind. The world wins when we feed our own healing rather than our shadows.
The Shape of Hate
Hate-Mapping moves from abstract “why” questions to a practical line of questioning: What is the shape of my hate? It requires noticing when the temperature of your thoughts rises and identifying how it feels in your body—the heat in the face or the tightening in the chest. It is a non-judgmental scan of the internal architecture of discomfort.
Dismantling Tribal Mechanisms
We are often parts of economic, religious, or social systems that subtly promote hate to feed tribal instincts. Hate-Mapping allows us to see the “wires” connecting our internal state to external conflicts. By mapping these origins, we can make conscious choices to remove ourselves from the mechanisms that feed hatred for those different from us.
