What part of you is it that has such an aversion to injustice?
Why is it so compelling for you to respond to it?
<It is my nature reacting in a very impulsive way,
however, in real life I have not acted out these angers...
maybe only verbal confrontations, some close to violence.>
I "hear" what you are saying. Let me paraphrase:
I am reactive instead of active. --- this means my past experiences control
how I am going to respond. I am impulsive --- this means these experiences
control me so much I dont even have time to think first.
some close to violence --- this means God/dess might beat you over the head
to get you to process what these reactive states are really all about.
What is the lesson of the Peachy Doll and the Grizzly Bear and the Forest?
We are giving many user friendly ideas, but prefer to lock them in a trunk or
run into the dark forest in fear instead of making them useful. Later on, we
find out how useful they can become if we put our mindfulness to them. And if
we dont use them, lock them in the trunk or run away in fear? What then?
Well, we find out we lost an opportunity for one thing, for another, we miss
out on many blessings. For another, we might cry over spilled milk, and look
back into the past and wish we had done things differently. Funny part about
that, is it is foolish time spent while we could be mindful on the next
opportunity just around the tree. (corner) This is why fear is the enemy
worse than any Grizzly, and we need to live only in the "here and now"
without any attachments, (or any old experiences "sticking" to us, creating
bias and fear) lest we miss all the blessings meant for us to have...
Maria missed having the bear as her friend. What better friend could you have
while facing injustice and dealing with that issue? The bear fends off
anything one could ever fear. He came to heal, transform, and walk you
through your dreams in the dark forest, so you no longer have to be impulsive
and fearful, reactive and potentially stuck in violence. He is a visionary,
opposed to the darkness of the forest.
If I were you, Maria, I would be anxious to go to sleep so I could search and
call for your friend the bear... LOL
Blessings,
Cat
