Session 31 - As a Gay Man, I think Ra's take on Homosexuality is idiotic

[YinYang]

Would you say that lashing out at another self when angry is ok ?  Yes since all is ok, but for someone polarizing positively, there are more skillful choices.

We can work with our anger without repressing and without lashing out.  Not an easy skill I know.

All I am saying is that while we are acquiring this skill, not lashing out (and not replying angrily to posts), is going to polarize one positively since it would have been at the expanse of another self.

My life is so much better and easier since I have started applying this.  I am not repressing anger, I am choosing to work with it in other ways other than transferring some to others.
 

I would say that in certain situations anger is justified. Are we not all things? I have seen many instances in my life where anger in a situation (either my own or someone else’s) was just the ingredient that was needed. In general I'm someone who diffuse escalating situations.

Carla told a story once where her brother Tommy came to her and insinuated that she was “busy with the work of the devil” or something to that effect, and she lashed out at him in anger. I think it was one of the podcasts where she said it, and she said in that particular situation anger was just what was needed.

Anger is linked to fear, whenever you become angry, there is an element of fear involved, but it’s part of the growing process. The path that we’re on eliminates fear eventually, and then anger also vanishes.

Every situation is unique, every entity is unique. My point was basically that I don’t appreciate inauthenticity. Look what a wonderful and educational discussion this thread has turned into because of people’s authenticity and blue ray. Continued disharmony essentially destroys though, so it's a fine balance.

P.S.: Loved your post in the meat thread by the way.

Thanks! Those two teachers are amongst my favourites! I believe Prentice Mulford was first to use the wording "Law of attraction", before it became mainstream. He was very big on "thought currents", what you focus on, you attract.
