Love is on the other side of Anger

[Sacred Fool]

You describe very well, EP, the Path of Confusion.  According to Confederation sources, you're doing things just right.  You're thoroughly confounded and confused.

I know it damned well it stinks.  I've had similar experiences of tromping around in the same territory endless times, looking for a way out.    That's the catalyst.  So, what's the solution?  Start looking in a different place for a way out.  Where is that?

I can't show you where your heart is.  You have to find it for yourself.  But that's the place where the sturm und drang suffered in the realm of the lower energies can begin to interweave with the higher energies and relieve that suffering.  Verily, I say unto you, friend, until you can rest in the peace of the heart of your own being, your suffering--although it may change hue or tonality--will never leave you.  Again, that's the catalyst you evidently chose to offer yourself during this brief terrestrial sojourn.

So, how do you get there?  Naturally, I can't say how you will get there, but I can offer some things you could try.  First, where possible, put yourself in the presence of holy beings and holy places so that you can get a feel for what divine love feels like when its offered extrinsically.  

As for the intrinsic experience, the general guidance there is that all of these active energies in your lower centers (the complaining, the suffering, the conflicts, the avoiding, etc.), all of these must come to understand that the only way forward is for ALL of them to make a pilgrimage to, you guessed it, to your heart.  

How do you organize such a mass pilgrimage?  First, you must discover your heart and its potential to love and to heal.  Second, begin bringing portions of yourself there for comfort, then more will follow.

How do you initially discover your heart and its potential to love and to heal?  You use your everyday catalyst to practice repeatedly choosing love as a response to it.  The more this happens, the more deeply you will discover your own capacity to give and receive love.  As you progress, you will become less interested in giving the love that comes from you in favor of offering that divine love which can come through you.

This process can take a lifetime, so don't be in too much of a hurry.  If you find yourself in a hurry, bring that anxious part of you to your heart for comfort.


I have a personal policy of generally trying to not give advice.  For some reason, this just slipped out.
