Why all the anger?
QUESTION: Masters, I would like to understand the reason for the amount of anger that I’m continuing to hold in my body which seems overwhelming a lot of times and would love a spiritual perspective on managing this. I also seem to struggle a lot with being comfortable on the physical plane – I feel like I’m unable to make connections with most of the people I encounter…would be wonderful if I could understand why. ~Irene, India
ANSWER: There are only two kinds of energy on planet Earth: positive and negative. Positive energy is love in all its magnificent sensations. Negative energy is fear in all its permutations: anger, hatred, doubt, loathing, betrayal, revenge – anything that is not love. You have been holding on to negativity and not letting love replace it within your being.
All people have freedom of choice concerning the actions in their life. Most people in this third-dimensional Earth plane cling to negativity because it is what they feel most. Life lessons come to everyone in the form of negativity so people are more comfortable with it. Don’t the people you come in contact with spend most of their time talking about what is wrong with them, lack of money, illnesses, trouble with family? Few talk about beautiful sunsets, possibilities, or successes.
As for you, when things don’t work out the way you expected them to, you feel angry. When others don’t perform the way you want, you feel angry. You are harnessed to your expectations. That is a need to control, and it is impossible to control others unless they consent. Your comfort level also has to do with your expectations of what you want others to do and how you want to be treated. If you were not so demanding in your expectations, the world would flow around you and interact peacefully with you.
You first need to set aside your expectations. Stop and observe the world around you. Find the beauty and discard the ugliness. Feel the love that is inside you and let it grow to cover the negative anger you have built around you. See that love extending out into the universe – it will become a beacon to draw loving people to you. Relax, and whenever you sense negativity – anger or otherwise – turn it into love for the magnificent journey you are undertaking.
