Guest guest Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Sat Nam everyone... I am still thinking about this idea of "choosing" something other than what we presently have. I was somewhere the other day and someone spoke to me in a cold manner and I instantly witnessed anger being stirred within me...just then I turned my head and caught a friend of mine in my glance and she gave me the sweetest smile and the anger completely dissolved in a moment flat, as my heart opened to her. I thought to my self...it is that easy. Decide to feel love instead of anger. For me, I have been working with anger extensively and I have done the work to understand what has conditioned it etc and done the healing....so now it is simply time for me to choose differently. To let go of angry feelings and fill the space that is left with loving feelings. When we let go of something, we need to fill the space it leaves with something of a more positive nature. I was driving around in my car the other day and I was experiencing anger once again...I had Snatam's new Cd Shanti in the player and I was listening to her sing...Ong So hung...Ong So hung...IIIII..am peace....and ...Peeeace...is in me. And once again I was hit with a complete shift in feelings. I went from angry to peace in a moment. I realized...peace is what I really want in my experience...to be peace in the face of any situation or circumstance. My Soul chooses peace. Throughout the last week, everytime I found myself straying from "peace" I took a moment to feel at my heart center and conjure up and remember what that moment of peace had felt like...and I would transform the negative to the positive...or go from finite to infinite...from limited feelings to boundlessness....however you want to say it. I have become very good at this in the last year, in respect to teaching and working with clients...but I realized I needed to exercise this more in my private moments. I was thinking about how I said I would describe pride as a type of self love...I feel similar about the experience of peace....I would say that, that is love as well in it's essence. It's funny...peace is a word we through around like the word "hello"...but my experience of the word peace in the last week, goes beyond any intellectual concept we as a whole might have of peace....frankly, to me it's everything...there was nothing lacking within that experience...there was "enough" of everything in those moments. Having experiences of a more blissful nature than we are used to is so important in the process of transformation. It's our contrast...reality v.s. illusion and pain...it is what gives us perspective on the darkness that we experience. Without the experience of bliss or the light...then we get swallowed in the darkness...because we just lack perspective is all. We think the darkness is all there is...and that's just because we haven't cemented in our consciousness' the experience of the light...so we can invoke that experience when needed. May we all be blessed in the Light, Sat Sangeet Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
