In short

Shi Heng Yi discusses “ill will” as a mind-state behind anger, arguing that anger feels different in each era but is fundamentally the same, and that healing means integrating feelings rather than eliminating them.

Guests

Shi Heng Yi (guest; spiritual teacher focused on inner mastery). Host: Lewis Howes (asks questions; promotes his book and the Daily Motivation Show).

Key claims

Ill will is a hindrance if ignored; triggers vary, but the underlying anger pattern repeats from youth to adulthood. Overcoming involves de-identifying from the emotion, standing above it to gain perspective, and consciously tapping into a full range of feelings.

Notable examples

anger after not getting what you wanted as a teen; modern anger when something is taken away; coaching yourself by imagining how you’d guide the “other person” you’re observing.

0:30Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:41One of the other things you talked about that I've seen you talk about online about mastering the inner self and the things that hold people back is ill will. and I think you know it's like if you look in the mirror and you say oh there's anger inside of me there's judgment inside of me is that also associated with ill will is it towards yourself towards others to the world what does that mean ill will to the mental state whatever triggers it is pretty irrelevant you know it's sometimes also just think about it when we were young and we didn't get what we wanted, we became angry. As a teenager, somebody took something away from you, you got angry.

1:28Nowadays, 21st century, somebody takes something away from you, you are angry. The reasons why this anger came up are always different. But the anger is always the same. The anger you feel today is the same anger that you felt when you were in young ages. So that means there might be the feeling that outside circumstances are triggering something inside of you. Yes, it's triggering something. But what eventually comes up is what you have not been able to adjust in the proper way yet. And the same is like ill will. Ill will is a state of the mind. it's not just doesn't matter if it's towards yourself towards another person towards an animal towards your colleagues it's always the same ill will it is something inside of you which if you don't pay attention to is going to be a hindrance along your way of walking how do we heal or integrate ill will so that it's no longer inside of us how do we reevaluate it mend it heal it go beyond it go beyond it i think is the more proper expression because this is not really playing with the words but it's still important because we don't try to get rid of all of these things.

3:07You don't want to get rid of the body that it's never going to be inside of your body anymore. You don't want to get rid of your jealousy when it comes up. You don't want to get rid of the joy that you feel. You don't want to get rid of your feelings. You want to have a very great variety of different feelings that you can tap into. The only thing which makes the difference is if you are tapping into this world of feelings consciously or if that world of feelings is just unconsciously imploding inside of you this makes the difference and so to overcome it means to realize it is there yeah but now like sometimes what to do you need to find something a state of your the state of level on which you are coordinating which means you have to stand above you learn to get into a perspective where you are standing above you which means this is not about you at the moment this is not about you stand above it it is about you see okay you you see that person at the moment has an issue how would you as somebody watching at you help him how would you coach guide how would you coach yourself guide yourself to the better version and this is what it only means to sometimes

4:57de-identify yourself with this one yes if you are caught inside here i think it becomes difficult

Your anger isn't new.

Shi Heng Yi makes a point that lands hard: the rage you feel today is the same rage you felt as a kid when something was taken from you. The trigger always changes. The anger never does.

That means the problem was never outside you.

It's something inside that hasn't been adjusted yet. And the way through isn't to suppress it or destroy it. It's to de-identify. Step outside yourself. Observe yourself like a coach watching an athlete fall apart, and ask what that person actually needs.

That shift in perspective is where the real inner work begins.
