Whatever I hate with passion
Whenever I feel vengeful and unholy ardor
When I have that certain kind of negative emotion
that bubbles
that spikes
and sparks aggression
There must be something to learn there
My adrenaline
blocks the flow
The insanity of my indignation can be a monster
In the moment
I may attack with abandon
And in the process
Hurt myself Badly
After that
Needing hours, days, sometimes weeks of recovery
to arrive at center again
So…..
I have to ask myself
Is it worth it?
Am I justified in my reaction?
Or
Am I running a degenerate program of victim consciousness?
Am I stressed out?
Did I start a cycle of negativity somewhere else
and bring it here?
How can I break the cycle?
And create anger intelligence.
I am in process
deep in the process
of transformation
and learning about myself.
I have to learn to put it down
Stop the action
invest in a period of rest
Mind rest and Meditation
A park
A parked car
A church
A bathroom
A chair
anywhere.
Part of the adventure of consciously creating my character
is developing a way to change the cycle of anger
to peacefulness and mindfulness
even if the mind says
not right now….later on
I remember, I am training myself now
To create a victorious cycle
out of the vicious cycle
I used before
The cycle that creates pain and inflicts pain
and leads me off the path of my mission
to improve my workability
to improve my technique
of being a person
and peace by peace
Saving the world
Yeah,
There is holy anger
and I need it sometimes
to know what is truly unjust and evil in the world
but I watch myself closely
so I don’t poison myself and ruin my capacity to experience
wonder
and cultivate compassion
over and over again
There are difficult people in the world.
sure.
But I can see
the most difficult person in the world
usually
is me.
If I don’t develop a skill for regulating this shadow side
at some point
I end up alone
with this person I’ve been hiding from
and realize
That person
is really no one I want to hang out with for the evening
or the rest of my life.
I am learning to put the anger down
wait for a moment
develop a process
begin to love the process
Be a kamikaze for the process
Diving headlong into it
and exposing the ways in which my anger is automatic
Problematic
and exploding it on the rocks of my consciousness
letting it burn hot under my scrutiny
to deliver me to a place of peace and control.
More and more and more
than before.
