How does one heal (open up) the orange-yellow ray blockages?

[anagogy]

I feel I am healing family relationships, and am pretty comfortable with group activities at this time in my life.

I find I still have trouble with unknown, imagined "groups" - for example, people who vote against common sense or against their self interest, people who espouse survival of the fittest philosophies, people who want to suppress certain groups, people who listen to hate-filled radio programs, people who broadcast hate filled radio, etc. In other words, it is a kind political anger against imagined groups. Oh, another imagined group is "the people who are ruining the planet." "People who are killing the fish and frogs." I think you can see what "groups" I am having problems with.

So - is this a 3rd chakra issue? Or fourth? What is it exactly, and has anyone reading this found a successful way of dealing with this kind of anger?

Yes, that is green ray blockage.

The way I deal with it is through the understanding that all realities are maintained and manifested through the attention that is given them. All realities exist, from the most ignorant to the most enlightened. The spectrum will always exist, and always has. The question is: which portion of this spectrum do you want to tune into? Its understandable that one might look upon the attitudes and philosophies of society that partake less purely in the Law of One and to be angry that they do not have more light in them. But realize it is almost like getting angry at a child for not being an adult.

It's a stage of evolution. The caterpillar is not wrong because it is not a butterfly. Whatever stage of growth it is in serves a purpose. And the world is not wrong, because it has not wholly embraced love and light. Again, it is a stage of evolution.

Focus on being the change you want to see in the world. Focus on the groups in alignment with your current state of evolution. And from that powerful and positive platform of focus, you will be a powerful influence indeed. But as the old adage goes, hate of war does not bring peace. Only love of peace does.

Your attention merely perpetuates whatever you focus on, whether you hate it, or you love it.
