Ask Dali Mama

DEAR DALI MAMA:

Why do I meet people sometimes and I either love them or hate them right away?

–Wondering (New Zealand)

DEAR WONDERING:

You’re probably responding to a spirit recognition of someone that you’ve known from a past life. When you instantly hate someone upon meeting them, you’re probably responding to a challenging past life with them, perhaps one in which they did something awful to you.

When you instantly love them, you’re probably responding to a really pleasant past-life experience with that person. Although of course there is often a combination of delightful and challenging experiences we’ve had with people within various past lives. Keep in mind we’ve all done horrible things and wonderful things as part of our learning process.

When you respond with instant clothes-ripping lust for someone, you probably have some major lessons to learn with each other in this lifetime.

Whether you hate them or love them upon meeting them, it’s a sign you have growth you can do together. Sometimes the ones we “hate” instantly can be the ones here to teach us what we most need to learn AND that we have the most resistance to learning. But they are often the ones who can gift us the most valuable gifts of learning.
