Diffusing anger.
Let's say the self is feeling some anger arising within,
In the context of a certain relationship,
And doesn't know why.
Allow the self to use the intellect to bring the images and emotions down into the heart of the self to contemplate in quiet reflection for a few moments.
In time,
The heart reflects back the images and feelings plus the cause of the emotional discomfort.
The self sees and realizes that it is trying to control the other,
Having forgotten that it cannot control others.
The self sees through the eye of the intellect that it is still holding onto the false belief that others should do what they are told.
And if the self has refined the intellect sufficiently,
It may also see that it is making the mistake of making its happiness dependent on others' behaviors.
If we do not take up our inner position as the master craftsman,
It is very likely we will allow someone else to dictate how our life unfolds.
And this is because our intellect is sleepy.
There is a good chance we won't even realize it.
Unless you open your real eye,
Sometimes referred to as the third eye,
The anger continues to be felt.
Notice any illusion that you are holding onto of controlling the other or feeling someone else is controlling me.
And let that go.
I am responsible for how I feel.
Only I am.
Nobody else is.
Thank you.
