Blessed I am to continually be learning. A sign of a good teacher in my perspective. We do know our issues and often how to fix them, We may not act or easily experience healing for our perspective is off in the moment or often we are stuck or blocked from greater awareness just because it is how it is. What works one time won't always work the next. Tools important and request for higher views help me grow.
I was at my Masters class and had an opportunity to ask our director, John Morton a question. I don't often ask for I usually think I know what laws he will put out there for me to remember. However, I decided to ask for words on anger. I don't get irate and often think we all disconnect from our anger and then it rushes forward at some silly thing because we are not really taught how to move through this.
His answer was so shifting for me that I wanted to share what I learned. He said many things but two stood in my mind that I wanted to offer up. Basically anger is disagreement. Disagreement with another, with ourselves, with the situation that is occurring or with our creator or universe. (Use what word works for you.) This recalibrated me. Acceptance is the first law and we can't really change or shift ourselves if we don't accept what is happening first. Often disagreement with a situation, ourselves or another is this non acceptance and then can run its way into anger with things.
I have started to see where I have disagreement with myself, my body, my life circumstances and even others. When I am in disagreement, anger can grow from there. Rather than disagreeing with what is happening, I have begun to see how I can align myself to agree, not say it is OK but say this is where you are and how can you work with it. Disagreeing just stops movement and then temper tantrum girl can activate.
I don't consider tantrum girl bad or not useful. She is me at times. I like her feistiness and existence. I think she is me giving me a message. I just realize that me isn't effective in getting me to joy or lightness. So I recognize her as guidance that I am going out of balance with the conditions and seek ways to hear her and move in positive direction with that guidance. Disagreeing can be. I have disagreed with alot of things and that doesn't mean much of anything other than I share a different view or don't like what is occurring. I don't need to have issue with disagreement and carry it to anger or gloss over my dislike of things.
This acceptance of that part of me, helps me see what area needs greater alignment and a reset. How am I not working with life? Life, others and myself are going to throw me things I don't like. Sitting in my dislike or disagreement doesn't move me forward, it grounds me in. So how can I use it move beyond rather than be bitching seems the best question? Then we can experience anger, disagreement, dislike and actually use it for ourselves rather than fester. There is always preference here and it is OK.
I then can make choices to act on my disagreement or dislike. I can see it all differently. It supports me to accept anger, my disagreement as OK and not rile up in it. It is just there as preference. If I want to hang in my disagreement or anger, I will only find more of it. It can create illness and split in my body, life, emotions and mind. No need to go that far. It is easier to just get a greater understanding of anger through disagreement as one of its messages. When we are in disagreement, we work to find agreement or walk away or to something else more agreeable. It is that simple.
The other thing he spoke of was blame as part of anger. We all know blame is an illusion. If it is even considered true to us, we can't move others or conditions so it again can get us stuck. Ultimately blame is part of disagreement with the greater power of creation. We think we know better what should be occurring and if it is not, we disagree, get angry and then seek to blame another, conditions or our world. Our ego, our preferences, our likes and dislikes don't run the bigger picture of this universe. They run our small piece of it.
We often think we know the greatest good but how many times does something better come along for us? Or that we are thankful we didn't get something for it would of been a real problem? He offered me to remember that my mind is not an infinite measuring tool and can't see all things. My thinking I know best often a way to get the anger, blame, disagreement going. I often don't really know best, we have proved this to ourselves often. I just want what I want and think it is best then. That too reminded me how to get moving past my anger.
I hope these two ideas add a higher perspective to you as well. Nothing is bad in our school or even good. It is all experience and we are scientists to know and watch ourselves and see what experiments are working for us. Disagreement doesn't move me forward. It will exist along the way. He supported me to clear up many things within and without and any future ideas that I am not so happy with. He also supported me to love myself more deeply for all my parts!
There is never a good reason to beat yourself up! We must honor ourselves and our process if we want our light to shine authentically. It is all beautiful from the higher perspective! We just aren't high all the time! Teehee!
