The world is in the eye of the beholder, so you see what you have. Therefore, if the world makes you feel unwanted, you have no love for yourself.  

From Duality Hack #1.9 in Alexius’ Duality Hacks.

We can’t change the scenes we dislike in a movie, but we can change our perception of them to feel better. The same applies to the world where we believe in being somebody. Any event, whether considered in the present or the past, will bring us joy when we choose the appropriate perception.

In other words, if the way we perceive the world doesn’t make us feel good, we change our perception of the world to one that makes us feel groovy. Since the world is in the eye of the beholder, we can also do it the other way around. By changing our perception of ourselves to one that makes us feel groovy, we see the world as funky

How you perceive someone’s response depends on how you see them. If you have deemed them annoying, you’ll see their response as upsetting. Therefore, if you don’t want to feel disturbed by them, you either change your judgment of them or your perception of their response, seeing it as peaceful. Since you only recognise what you have yourself, this change establishes you as friendly.

You can’t recognise something outside you unless you already have it inside. That is why you see the world through what you have. If you have love, others seem lovely, and you feel loved regardless of their response. Alexius shows this clearly: although he dislikes when his cats bring home half-dead animals, his love keeps him seeing his cats as lovely. This shows you do not have to like everything others do to see them with loving eyes.

What you give comes back to you – not in another lifetime, but at the very moment you give. This is not to be taken literally, as if giving money meant you would get it back. It’s the intention behind giving money that yields immediate returns.

The sense of giving and receiving happens within you. So if you give money out of love, you feel loved, but if you do it out of pity, you feel sad. Consequently, when you know you get what you give, you see, psychologically, that what you get is what you asked for

If you want the world to respond to you in the way you define as loving, your self-hatred is exposed when you do not receive the expected response. However, instead of acknowledging that response depends on perception, most people blame others for being rude.

When you blame things such as your parents, the deep state, or capitalism for your misery, you act like a victim. This enables you to justify your actions to the world, so you can behave in ways that would otherwise be unacceptable while still appearing innocent.

The present seems good enough when you feel good. But if you feel uncertain about yourself, nothing seems good enough. In other words, your response to the present moment reflects how you feel about yourself, not the situation itself.

Whether you’re aware of it or not, you always give what you have. Hence, if what you give results in hatred, that’s what you have. No worries. Acknowledging your hatred makes you feel loved, because love and hate are paired, like two sides of a coin. See Duality Hack #8.

You can only send love to someone if you believe you’re separate from them. Since separation is the cause of suffering, it’s not love but misery you send, and as you get what you give, you immediately feel miserable. Thankfully, because every feeling is twofold and misery is paired with pleasure, you feel delighted when you acknowledge your misery. See Duality Hack #8.

Don’t shy away from your judgments of others. They’re a mirror, reflecting what you need to see within yourself to feel complete in a world of duality. For instance, if you recognise the shit you see in others as your own, it can define your purity. See Duality Hack #8.
