For most people, the idea
that anger is love seems like total nonsense. We
have been taught that anger is destructive, that
by being angry we can hurt someone or get hurt
ourselves. Anger becomes confused with violence.
Violence is actually a non expression of anger.
Violence comes when one does not have a healthy
respect and understanding of anger enough to
express it fully, completely and lovingly.
Anger is a way of saying
to the Universe and those in it that you deserve
to be treated in ways that are unconditionally
loving and respectful. Think of anger as a
divine “force” that cleanses and makes room for
something more loving to grow. When we speak of
anger, we are talking about expressing anger
from an understanding of the Oneness. When this
happens we come to value not only our own Selves
but also those of “others.” How can this be
true, you might ask, when to express your anger
could be hurtful of other’s feelings or get
yourself hurt?
This is where your
spiritual practice comes in handy. It is about
working with the intent of Universal Love and
Oneness. This may sound highly impractical in
“real life” but we guarantee you it is not. When
you express your anger, what you are saying is
“this is not loving and I am worthy of being
treated in loving ways.” There is nothing
hurtful towards anyone else when you express
your self worth in this way. If you truly
believe that all is one, then you are saying
that you feel the same about them and their
capacity for unconditional love. Or at least you
are giving them the opportunity to examine their
behavior if they so choose.
The point of expressing
anger in this way has nothing to do with the
outcome in the traditional sense. The person you
are talking with may change or they may not.
What you are creating is more powerful than the
individual’s response because you are affirming
to the Oneness, to Source, that you are worthy
and valuable. Think of this like a force of
nature that over time will clear out the old and
make room for something of a higher more loving
vibration. What you are doing is intentionally
manifesting.
This can be reassuring but
also creates a lot of fear. What if you express
how you feel and this “causes” you some big
problems? So many times, fear of what will
happen to if you say how you feel holds you back
from affirming that you deserve something
better. Trust in Source/Oneness is key here.
Affirm that you want to be treated with
unconditional love, ask for specifically what
you want from the person/people involved and
from us. Think of it like a healing tornado,
some things may be up in the air for a while,
but when your life clears and settles you will
find something new growing in the clearing,
something much, much better. We absolutely
guarantee you that anger is not intended to hurt
you and when you allow it True/higher
expression, the Universe will move to help you
live in a way that is more who you are. Anger is
a powerful tool created to help you manifest
loving change.
Spirituality is a process
of living in your own Power, the power of being
as your Soul in the oneness with All That Is.
Anger as part of learning to use this power is a
means of opening to who you are. It is nothing
to be afraid of expressing, since it is
expressing your Self and your love. Anger is
love.
