In this answer to a viewer's question, Guy explains that the task for us is not to try to suppress negativity through our own effort.

Classroom Talk: 2/23/2020 - The more (we) mistakenly open a door to any negative reaction that comes knock-knock-knocking there, the more it will come back around - bringing "relatives" with it - until there's neither place nor peace left in our Home that we can call our own.
