While someone COULD describe it like this, this is a very un-HAI attitude.
:)
I think the only person who might be definable as an enemy within HAI, would
be someone who cannot respect your choices, ie a rapist or something like
that.  And I know Peter Rengel at least would argue against that.

Check amazon for his books. These are independent of HAI, written/published
by him, but they do give the essential flavor of HAI.

Some quotes from "Living Life in Love"

"Acceptance is feeling love in your heart for the police officer who is
writing you a speeding ticket."

"Religions create labels such as Jewish or Christian or Hindu, making paths
appear different. The holy mountain favors no one. The same Truth is
revealed to each as love's universal secrets unfold. If we stop believing in
these labels and start listening with out hearts, then we can join together
as one."  (Note, speaking ABOUT religion does not create a religion!)

"When the human race decides to stop racing, love can take the lead and then
everyone wins."
