All negative emotions, but especially anger, are the offspring of one dark state...a frustrated desire that would rather set fire to the object, person, or condition seen as being at fault, then turn around and see itself for what it is in reality: the unseen source of its own suffering.

The next time some hostile state takes you over, see that something foreign to your True Nature has imposed itself on you and taken over your life.

There are those who will tell you why it is wise to never forget the pain of the past but if you look closely at the anger, sorrow, and bitterness that has hardened their faces, then you will also see why learning to forgive is the better of the two paths.

First comes anger… then what we blame; The match is struck… before the flame.

Never speak out of anger, Never act out of fear, Never choose from impatience, But wait... and peace will appear.

Never speak out of anger, > Never act out of fear, > Never choose from impatience, > But wait . . . and peace will appear.

Nothing better serves to sustain anger, frustration, and fear than being identified with a level of self whose life is founded, at best, upon the sands of passing circumstances.

There is no new resistance; regardless how “fresh” the nature of a negative state -- be it fear, anger, frustration or regret...

Nothing better serves to sustain anger, frustration, and fear than being identified with a level of self whose very existence is founded, at best, upon the sands of passing time and circumstance.

Without some form of unconscious identification to nourish its proliferation, no negative state -- no punishing anger, fear, or worry -- can grow beyond the boundaries of that level of consciousness from out of which it appears.

Any time you sit, think about, and "stew" over what someone did to you, or simmer in anger about some past event, the real reason for your pain is because you're cooking your own goose!...

Whatever confuses you -- be it the pain of some negative state, how people can be so selfish, your own anger, or some compulsive behavior -- just quietly choose to learn the truth about yourself, and watch the mystery disappear.
