"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." --Anais Nin
DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE between grateful anger and dehumanizing hatred? "Grateful anger flows when you have engaged and studied your shadow. Dehumanizing hatred flows when you have ignored and denied your shadow. One is fertile, the other hysterical." (From Bob Brezny's "The Televisionary Oracle.") www.freewillastrology.com --------------------------- Angel Anger Angel and Anger are very close. There's a Left and a Right, an L and an R distinguishing them. The Lords of Language will open up hidden messages in all languages for you if you ask them. Many of the Angels became filled with Anger that they/we denied when they/we "fell". The Rage, the Anger we have inside us is at the root of our disconnection from our Selves, from God, from Grace, from peace, from ease, from fun. It is our gravity, our ball and chain, our Soul Sore, our Original Sin. This Anger/Angelic Rage needs to be healed/cleared/transmuted if we are ever going to enter the Gates of Paradise again. There's no way around it. We can't cut this Rage off and hope that it will sink like a stone in water. This method of denial, sometimes called "letting go", will only insure that you will have to go to a deeper more hellish place to recover this part of yourself. This method of "rising above" is basically denial and is still mostly the spiritual method of choice on the planet. That's why we aren't moving forward, why we are stuck on a loop of building civilizations only to watch them crash and burn. It's why we are stuck in warfare, competition, disease, pain, short life spans, disconnected from the other dimensions. It's why most people are economic robots today, working themselves to death. The spiritual teaching on the planet has been away from "unspiritual" emotions, especially anger, away from finding ways to express it, consciously heal it, healthy ways to deal with it. Instead we have repressed ways that anger comes out, like sending our 17-23 year olds off to be slaughtered en masse as a sacrifice every other generation in wars. We've had over 5000 wars in "recorded" history. Our collective repressed anger creates an ever increasing jail population that we never question why it's growing. If our system of "rehabilitation" in jails was working shouldn't there be less and less people in jail over time? The core anger in our souls needs to be dealt with or we will never heal the fallen state on earth. We need a new model for real, practical, spirituality that incorporates healthy treatment of ALL emotions, not just the socially/spiritually sanctioned ones like love, , caring, joy, but also, the ones we've been taught to avoid like fear, anger, rage, jealousy. Exploration: Look at the following picture and be as truthful with yourself as you can with your reactions...  Art by Joe Linsner, 1994, creator of Dawn and Angry Christ comics. is the picture... -counterproductive? -naive? -sacriligeous? -evil? -the wrong path? Jesus took a whip to the "money changers" that were selling doves, lambs, goats, bulls to be sacrificed to "god" in the temple in Jerusalem. By the way, what kind of "god" would want doves to have their necks snapped or lambs to have their throats slit, their blood run out into a cup and then burned as "sacrifices"? Let's get real, this is a bloodthirsty, vampirous "god" or more likely, the real God has gotten pushed aside and the greedy priests have instituted their control on the people in God's name. Jesus screamed at them "Get the...out of my Fathers House!" (It would be interesting to know what he really said.) This of course was the real trigger that made the Sanhedrin (the high priests of the day) decide that he had to be killed. When you interfere with the money machines of religions is when the behind the scenes machinations get triggered, it's when the hit men come out, when "dirty politics" kicks in. Jesus knew that he had triggered the Mind/Lucifer that day and that they would come after him. Can you feel how far away our image of what being spiritual is from being able to incorporate the emotion Anger in a healthy way? If we are at our source Love/Consciousness/"gods" or if you believe that something larger than us created us and our full range of emotions, then wouldn't we/God have created an emotion as strong and powerful as anger for an important purpose? Anger protects us and our unwillingness to let it take it's rightful place as a servant at our personal round table has opened us up to losing our freedom, our joy, our powers, our sovereignty, and losing our soul energy. Look at the ones who tell you that it's not healthy or right to express anger, look what happens if you question or challenge their authority, then they most often use anger, brutality even, to control you. It's high time for us to see through these mechanisms that get us to deny our true feelings that keep us from being free. ------------------------------------- "Mature" anger and "Immature" Anger A friend of mine explains this information about anger with the distinction between Immature and Mature anger. With Mature Anger there is conciousness, awareness of what is happening. The feelings of anger are not denied. We don't think it's bad to feel anger, we don't try to hide it, we don't try to blame others for "making us angry", we don't act out on others, we don't "kick the cat" because we're angry at something or someone else. We know we feel angry, we are willing to find out the real reason behind our anger, and we are willing to deal with it head on, openly. Immature anger is blaming others and really believing it. This is different than expressing anger at someone or something and being aware/concious of expressing it in order to get it out of our bodies and psyches and heal the feelings behind the anger. When we express conciously we know we are expressing and moving emotions for the purpose of healing/balancing/integrating them. Even though it may look and sound like we are blaming others, we are moving the held back/denied emotion and in moving the stuck energy we will transform it, it will heal and balance itself. For example, we could scream, "The fucking IRS is a goddamn gestapo." for instance, or "Women are blood sucking turbo bitch vampires." or "Men have destroyed the planet with their insensitivity, the goddamn bastards, I hope they rot in hell." And doing this while being concious of what we are doing, the emotion of anger/hatred/blame will change, it will transform. We are "moving" the emotion of anger conciously and intending for it to heal and balance. This is different than affirming or believing that we have the right to blame others. Doing this conciously, the denied hatred/anger will start to change into something more accepting, eventually forgiving, we may cry, we will probably feel a real-ease and become more energized and balanced from having healed a denied anger/energy. Being willing to feel our anger (or any emotion) openly and head on will start us to recovering lost parts of our energy/psyche/soul/being. True healing will occur. |
