When we want to understand someone, we need to place ourselves into the "shoes" of that other person, like the old saying. But still we might not even understand, unless we have been in the same/similar situation. Then we know. Then we know.

Yes - indeed meditating negatively on another can cause harm.

Kabbalah And Meditation

In your lecture Rabbi Gurkow, you tell us that meditating about G-d, or another person with deep concentration, one can reach G-d as well as that other person. My question is if another person thinks evil about us, doesn't that person creates an evil soul who would turn against us? The same in turn would be if we love G-d and seek him with all our heart and soul we would be close to him.
