Defeat your Anger with Love - 20 Jul 08

Musical

Yesterday there was another 17-year-old girl here for a healing session. When I asked her why she was here she told me that she wanted to forget a boy. She had been in a relationship with him for one year and broke up with him because he is 'an angry person'. She said that she was still in contact with him and she just couldn’t forget him. I asked why she was still in contact if she wanted to forget him. If you meet him how can you forget? And she said it was so difficult not to be in contact. She was sure that he still loves her very much and she could not say that she did not love him. So this means there is still love in between them, just because he is short-tempered and often angry they cannot be together.

Nobody likes to be angry. Why do we have these emotions? You need to find the reason and either eliminate the reason or change the way that you deal with it. I do not suggest suppressing feelings, you know that. I wrote about anger before in my diary and if you compare love and anger, love will always win. So if you know what you want, if you want to defeat your anger, you can do it with love. And what would be a better reason than love?

So today we took a flight back to Germany and Andrea picked us up at the airport in Munich. In the evening we went to a musical performance that Susi’s school had organized and in which students were actors, singers, dancers and also playing in the orchestra, like Susi. It was the first time that I went to see a musical and I liked it very much. It was mostly in German so I did not understand everything but I enjoyed it nevertheless. I do not really like cinema or TV but this was a very nice evening.

I totally agree with you, Mr. Allen. Your anger is still YOUR anger, even if you feel that someone else "caused" it. Even if someone else did something totally hurtful or careless, you still have to be responsible for your own emotions and reaction to it. Whenever someone says, "I have a problem with that person," you can say to them: "Yes YOU do have the problem, and it's up to you to solve it or else you walk around carrying resentment for the other person." This doesn't justify the wrong or hurtful actions of others. It just makes it easier to live with your own anger.

When I am angry I remind myself that to be angry is to suffer. If I turn my attention inward I realize that my body is stressed from this anger and my mind is not at peace. It helps me to realize that anger is created by a story in my mind. If I observe my inner dialogue I will often find a story recycling itself in my thoughts. From this thought the emotion anger arises in my body. I must take responsibility for this feeling. It is not something outside of me that has done this to me because a circumstance is always neutral. It is thinking about this circumstance that has caused me to suffer. Realizing this allows me to smile at my anger, not taking it so seriously. And so I feel much better as I cease to poison myself and others around me.

Words of Wisdom

  • Feelings

    Don’t worry what others think to find out what you feel for yourself.

    Source
  • Scriptures

    Scriptures - squeeze them and you will see blood dripping out of them!

    Source
  • Pets

    We create an animal for our entertainment and give it pain for the rest of its life. This is not taking care of nature, this is not how we should live. We should think more of the animal than of us. Does the animal like living like this? Can I give the animal everything that it would have in free nature, too?

    Source
  • Respect

    When you feel that a person is not respectful towards you, remember that he probably doesn’t even feel any respect for himself, so it is difficult to feel it for you.

    Source
  • Religion

    You can turn Hinduism as you like, you can wish for whatever you want, heaven or liberation - it is flexible enough to grant you everything.

    Source
  • Vegetarian

    Vegetarianism starts at home. Show your kids how to caress animals, your cat just like farm cows! Why can you eat a cow, not a cat?

    Source
  • Gurus

    Why are so many Gurus and Swamis in India extremely rich while it is difficult for many normal persons to get a full stomach?

    Source
  • Love

    Maybe you are sad because you still love the other one and he or she doesn’t want to be with you but you still have to love your love! Don’t be angry with yourself for this feeling and don’t switch into hate because of this advice. It is okay to follow your heart.

    Source
  • Rituals

    Does a soul get more comfort by expensive rituals after death?

    Source
  • Feelings

    Let your feelings flow. It is so simple but can be very difficult. Society taught us to suppress our feelings and tears are seen as weak. Let it flow. When you are sad, please cry. When you are happy, please laugh. Be proud of your feelings and of who you are! Let them flow and open your heart to the love that is flowing between us all.

    Source
  • Celibacy

    Why should sex be forbidden? Can sex, being physically united in love, keep you from being in higher consciousness? On the contrary, suppressing your sexual feelings does not bring you closer to God!

    Source
  • Food

    Don't eat while walking. Can't you take ten minutes to sit down and eat consciously? You are not just filling a garbage box, it is your body!

    Source
  • Love

    Love at first sight happens because you have love inside you. Something triggers it, it starts to flow and you fall in love.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion teaches that you should not be completely happy. People are harder to control when they are happy and when they are not afraid. Another reason not to follow any religion – because you want to be happy, not afraid.

    Source
  • Enlightenment

    Maybe this time, which we are experiencing now, will later be called ‘Digital Bhakti Kal’, a time of devotion through digital media. Applications and programs will be interactive scriptures that judge your spiritual progress. There will be an option to pay some money and get access to higher levels and ranks straight away. It will be expensive but those who have the money can get online enlightenment from one second to the other simply via credit card.

    Source
  • Food

    Be aware while cooking and eating that you are doing something important. Love your food and don't waste it.

    Source
  • Feelings

    Only if you make your heart soft and accessible, you will be able to feel another person’s sorrows and pain. Only then you can give love from your heart. You can help the needy!

    Source
  • Body

    Give yourself a treat by moving your body, stretching, breathing! Enjoy your body and feel good in it! Whatever you do, enjoy it! Have fun!

    Source
  • Personal

    I have never seen myself as a teacher and I don’t do it until now. I always thought of myself as someone who is still learning himself – and not someone who could teach others. I do not see myself in this light and I do not want others to see me like this.

    Source
  • Belief

    Human always wants to believe what is suitable and comfortable for them.
