When faced with the shenagians of the Mind River (which is always on and is the the same mind everyone uses) I simply recognize that it is the Mind doing its thing and I have the choice to disengage in that thought (all negative emotions are thoughts-- they do not come from the HEART they come from the mind).
Sometimes it takes a moment to realize that the Mind has slipped momentarily in the drivers seat of my body... and then I simply displace the Mind again and send it back to the Mind River. I re-Mind mySelf that the Mind is a Tool from which I draw from... not who I am... but simply a Tool.
Then, if in my momentarily lapse where the Mind was in charge (the Mind knows the Cost of Everything and yet values Nothing)... I apologize and Love and Learn from the slip that allowed the Mind to be in Control. And like a agressive submissive dog, (a dog that wants to submit but is too afraid so it bits and acts out toward the Master) the Mind truly works better if it is not in charge and is only called when needed.
I have also learned to let go of the thoughts and the stories we make up surrounding the thoughts. The only moment that truly exists is the one we are having at that moment... LOL although the Mind would like us to think that those moments that are before this one are more important than the one we are having at this moment. To truly be at peace one must be Out of Your Mind and in Your HEART.
What Ra calls catalyst I call the Mind. I see no reason why one would actively engage in Mind games with the Self--- this is not truly living for in doing so one is simply spinning the wheels of life stuck in a Mind Mire that holds the soul captive. We have a choice to no longer do this and to use the Mind as the tool it was meant to be used as.
Now, when I experience Anger, I am able to say. Ahhh so this is Anger... and allow the Anger to simply flow through me not engaging in the Anger but simply observing it and allowing it to flow on by. I find mySelf now laughing about the Anger and Loving it for what it is... and in certain instances in life, Anger is a tool for Action and Movement forward-- It is simply a tool of the Mind.
Love--
