Expert explains how to deal anger, pessimism and resistance
Expert explains how to deal anger, pessimism and resistance. Very good lessons, explained in an easy way.
I often feel overwhelmed by anger and that anger makes me throw my spiritual practice really out of the window.
It's like a big importance that I feel pessimism so it's not going to work anyway. It that's one thing and the other thing is i also feel very often that something is wrong, some didn't.
I need to take some action to correct something that probably is just imaginary. In reality there is no action needed most probably, but I have to do something about it.
When I get carried away by that.
For example right now my heart beat very strongly and I guess there's no reason for that.
Well you know you're doing public speaking right now so maybe that's why. That's fine. You're just acknowledge that the heart is beating and you let that be.
What they're in the feeling that something is wrong that's not a personal problem of yours.
It's a universal human condition that to carry that feeling inside that something is wrong, and then the mind looks from for what can I do about this orbit ways? A ways of thing that's wrong and then it misinterpret situations.
When anger comes of course the energy field of it immediately flows into your mind and the thoughts that you then think are reflections of the anger.
The anger makes you think certain thoughts and as you put it all that spiritual stuff obviously doesn't work.
This is our thoughts that come out of the anger the energy field.
Whatever I do it's going to be a always the same and you know no point of it because it's not going to work for them. It's the kind of thoughts that it generates.
Next time it happens see if you are able to in addition to thinking those thoughts. At the same time you can be aware that these are thoughts that have arisen out of the energy field of anger.
In other words see if you can have an awareness. It's not easy with anger because it comes to suddenly.
Whether you cannot have an awareness not only that is the energy of anger flowing through you, but also perhaps that the energy of anger which may be old anger that has lived in you for a long time: pain body i call it.
Which can easily then rise into your mind and control your thoughts. Are you able to be a stay aware while it happens and recognized anger as an expression of the pain body.
What if you are thinking angry thoughts to realize that these are the thoughts of anger. Anger is thinking these thoughts.
They are not true so they are simply thought that reflect the energy field of anger so the experiments then is whether you can stay aware as the observer or the witness of those thoughts and of the energy field of anger.
You may not. I'm just suggesting it as an experiment.
Whether or not you're able to stay present depends on how much presence there is already in you? how much presence power there is already in you?
Perhaps after having spent some time here with us, there may be more presence power in you because this energy field is helpful for drawing that knowledge of you.
Once you are there as the witness then changes begin to happen.
You don't even have to do anything.
You know what i mean by witness is simply to witness to be aware of the energy so that you don't become completely identified with it.
The witnessing consciousness is in the same way that you know witness.
Perhaps a certain nervousness: your heart is beating, there may be a certain nervousness as you stand there, and you witness there's the nervousness and there's the heart beating.
The witness allows everything to be as it is but there's a thin a deeper dimension you from where you are. We can say my heart is beating, I feel nervous, energy inside me.
These are still verbalizations but to be on the verbalization. This ability to simply see it, so to speak, then that will change all the old patterns some more awareness comes in the more the old patterns will change.
So you don't have to change yourself because that's complicated. Many people try to do that. I have to change myself but that the most powerful.
The real change comes with becoming aware of whatever is happening inside you so that the anger is no longer you.
The anger is anger and you are the awareness.
You know it is you, you feel it. There it is and that's s the decisive shift from being the anger to having the anger in your energy field and observing it.
It's a wonderful shift, so use anger as your spiritual practice.
If you fail, of course anger will immediately say you see you failed again. You can't do it. That's the anger speaking. There's something wrong with you.
Particularly that there's something wrong with me.
I don't know if we may be surprised to know that there are millions or billions of people on the planet who have that same sort pattern.
There's something wrong with me because it's part of the human eagle.
But so you bring in the awareness and that will change everything.
That's the only true key. If you fail next time you're the anger arises. what happens? and you will become aware in immediately after the anger has subsided and then all that was and I wasn't present.
Then that moment will come when you are there in the first if you can catch the anger and the first moment it comes. Or if you might even see that it's could be the result of a thought that creates the anger, and if you can be it be there in the first moment because before it becomes to fully blown anger.
Then you can stay there and he might not even become fully blown anger if you catch it the first moment. You can feel the first stories of anger.
You may only have three seconds. You may come very quickly and anger is like an explosive energy.
You may only have two, three, four, five seconds to bring the stay there with your awareness and feel it all, that it's coming: that's the pain body, the angry pain body coming.
If you catch it in the early stage don't suppress it.
By catch it I mean feel it be there is a witness then you can stay even as it grows. The witness grows with it. It may not even grow. You will have to see whether it's still grows into full-blown anger or not.
That doesn't matter and so you be thankful for your anger because the anger can be come a very important spiritual practice for you.
Because through it awareness can grow. It's a sometimes strange for people to see you can be thankful for things that you think are the most difficult obstacles in your life, but they can become the greatest opportunity for spiritual awakening.
Use it as part of your spiritual practice.
You have to be recognized that these are thought forms. They are thoughts that arise in your mind. When you're aware you don't need to believe in every thought that arises.
You don't no longer and that's an enormous freedom. You recognize it as a thought that comes from anger. Not the truth. It's a thought form that comes from anger, the pain body.
If a thought comes from anger, it's not the truth. It's a distortion.
Recognize it and you think oh there's another thought form that says something negative that says nothing you can do. You might as well give up. Whatever thoughts come, recognize that it's a thought form.
Do you see how important that is?
Well perhaps we will meet again in a year's time and it's always interesting to see how things have evolved as you practice now what happened to you as you bring awareness into the anger.
See what happens to it a year later.
It's just wonderful to see consciousness evolving, awakening in the different human forms in different ways.
We can be thankful for everything, especially the difficult parts of our live because without that, there would be no awakening.
It's the challenges that create the necessary energy for the flowering of consciousness. It's not only in the movies where things need to go wrong.
In every movie if nothing goes wrong there's no movie. The character doesn't develop. Everybody remains the same.
In a bad movie that which goes wrong is resolved on some external level, but in a good movie as the character faces his or her problems, he or she grows, changes, develops abilities he didn't have before.
In very good movies there's some kind of spiritual realization, but only because something went wrong.
