I know I have a leaning towards this. It is dangerous because it ignores aspects of truth that is vital in anyone's journey. It is the truth that lies within the ugliness.
They are only as powerful as far as one can see within himself.
Yes I perceive the anger and believes my clumsiness is mostly at fault. I am not shying away from taking my part of responsibility in the feedback I get from my input. I do not perceive my message is what angers per se, but rather my delivery. I have been pondering for weeks and will continue doing so. This whole thing is very transformative for everyone.
There is truth in this anger. It is not meaningless.

Quote:...When someone does express negative emotion to you, however, there is more information there than the simple hostility. There is truth. It is the kind of truth that you see in a hall of mirrors at the midway of a carnival. There are no mirrors that show you a true image in such a hall of mirrors. Every mirror is crazed. Some create a tall and slender S, others create a short and fat S. Some warp you to the right and some warp you to the left. Some make wavy lines throughout your entire image so that your eyes and your nose and your mouth do not match up and your neck is at one side and your torso at another and your leg off on the other side again. How can these images be helpful? That is the question that we ask you. How can the crazed and incorrect images of negative emotion directed towards you be helpful?
It is a brave and a stalwart soul who is willing to look into that question; to look into the nuances and the subtleties of other entities with whom you have crossed paths and whose reaction to you is, in fact, a projection of their own process. And may we say that in every situation, no matter how much distortion that there is in that entity’s reaction to you and in that hostility that is unfair and unjust, nevertheless there lies material to be mined in the quiet of one’s own thoughts all the time. For each and every image of you that appears to you is pregnant with information. Perhaps some of this information drags you where you would rather not go, into the shadow side of self that brings before you material that is painful. The injustice and unfairness of such images of the self that they project, from another whose reactions to you are negative, is seemingly completely incorrect. Yet in that moment of interpenetration of the two energy bodies there is sacredness if you are willing to accept the challenge of sitting in sacred space with such unhappy and unjust colors, shapes and images.
There is an honor to be done to those who are unjust to you, who do not understand you and who cannot see who you really are. To honor and to mine this information that you have been given is often a challenge which you need to meet only through a process of time, revisiting the thoughts that were shared, the feelings that you felt upon receiving these unjustly offered thoughts and so forth. The process is not bound by your awareness of consensus-reality time. You can revisit this moment a year from now and it will still be as fresh and real as it was when it occurred. So if you do not do this immediately, feeling the pain, being unable to go further with this material at the present time, that is perfectly and wholly acceptable. There is no time limit on work in consciousness.
Sometimes it may help in this regard for you to keep a little journal and to write down those things you feel you cannot process at a certain moment. You may find that there is a pattern to this, that certain relationships are almost entirely beyond your ability to process in the present tense, as we think of those things, shall we say, in your consensus reality, in space/time. Nevertheless it helps sometimes to note down what you can about this material, to write down how you felt, note simply what was said, or how unjust or just it might be. This is not necessary for you to do. What is helpful is simply to mark the moment and to note especially everything you can remember about your initial reaction...
We are very fortunate that this forum can act as our little journal for such work.
"There is an honor to be done to those who are unjust to you, who do not understand you and who cannot see who you really are."
This is one reason why I rarely get angry with others. Those angry at me are also doing this out of love, otherwise they would just be indifferent.
As an aside, sometimes we can also attract anger without doing much. Eckhart Tolle once said that when he is in public some people becomes angry towards him and even aggressive without him even speaking to them. He is so present that just looking makes him a danger to those who wish to continue being under the illusion of separation, even before he utters a single word. I wonder how he processes his part of responsibility for such instances.
