Beautifully expressed and I love all the words you offer to use instead.
I’ve had 74 years and been through the many cycles from infant to toddler and so on. If we have a clear mind and needs met we continue to move on to the next phase. I was in a different cycle at 59 and then again at 65 ( we have 7 year cycles too) but at 74 it’s a much deeper phase. I feel the collective anger building and even the suppression. We are not too far from a collective release which I hope will be expressed effectively as we take back our world. I don’t see the majority becoming violent, although that will surely be present. I feel it being observed in the collective consciousness and together we are unconsciously making our plan to use it wisely. It can surely be profoundly beneficial done well.
Thank you for your beautiful message and as usual you have your finger on the pulse of humanity, what a wonderful gift. ❤️
Thank you Sammie! This sounds so interesting what you are saying about collective anger, ~ suppression, and ~ release. Your overview of age cycles and collective cycles is also very encouraging to me, since I believe that as individuals we (may) have a role to play in the movement and evolvement of the collective, according to our gifts. If we can release and use the anger within ourselves ~ in a constructive way ~ perhaps we can make a contribution to a beneficial transition.
Your insights are deeply soothing and reassuring. 🙏 ♥️
I am so glad that you have broached the topic of anger, which is an emotion like all others that humans have. Not all anger leads to violence. Anger is tied to justice or, rather, injustice. We become angry when we feel or sense an injustice has been done. To ourselves, to others, to our Home Earth.
I would also say that anger and love are linked, in that we often become angry when someone we love is harmed. That someone could be another human, a non-human animal or our Earth.
So, yes to good anger. It invigorates us and animates us to action.
"Anger is tied to justice or, rather, injustice." good point, Perry, which reminds me of ZZ Packer (and others) linking outrage to civil disobedience ~ which of course all relates to the link between anger and boundaries (in psychology).
Anger and love. Yes, isn't that interesting? So it's not surprising that the symbolism of the colour red includes both love and anger (both can be passionate emotions). And when someone we love and care about is harmed, the violation is overstepping our personal boundaries.
Having grown up in a 'no-anger-culture' (perhaps you did too?), it has taken me along time to learn anger (in the good way).
I love the colour red; I wear it when the mood strikes. Many of us grew up in households where anger was repressed, along with truth and honesty. They go together, do they not? So, I found my way to integrate more of these emotions into my being.
True. In my family history it all fits nicely with the protestant work ethics.
But I'm not complaining. Reading stories by people who have experienced violent anger from an early age, I'm not sure I would have had the strength to survive such fiery stuff...
Well done! I believe, integration of our emotions is some of the most important work humans can do in this lifetime.

The impulse to MOVE
A challenging emotion to stay with, rather than going out of body.
