do you have any latent anger?

[Bring4th_Austin]

I think there can be a danger in adopting philosophies like the Law of One which say that strong emotions, like anger, are a result of a distortion or blockage. We can then take that idea and, in our desire to be balanced and clear of distortion, fail to recognize when we are angry about something, or cover up and suppress our anger.

I know this happened to me early in my spiritual seeking and it has been a challenge ever since to access and recognize more subtle emotions. I hardly ever get angry any more. I honestly can't remember being angry any time in the recent past.

However, I do sometimes catch myself acting in passive aggressive ways, which means that the anger is there but just not making itself available for my experience. And now I have to play games of hide and seek with my emotions in order to realize what I have left to process and balance.
