The reality is that people express anger in very passive aggressive ways or even aggressive ways. Once you see this you can't unsee it. To deny anger is present in your life I think is delusional. See I'm getting at the crux of the issue here and it's not being seen, which I already anticipated. I know this drill, I've had this conversation many times before. There's a desire to deny anger. I would suggest becoming directly aware of your anger more. But this is not going to resonate with people who want to pretend they are above anger. Anger is real in every person. How they deny their anger or try to conceal it is a different matter, If you know someone long enough you can forecast their anger. And your anger too, and my anger. This is not just about pointing the finger outward. You have to accept your own anger and not see it as bad necessarily. Don't try to pretend you have no anger. This is not going to float well with spiritual people, but I want to stay honest and true and I'm open to discussion. Tell me where I'm wrong again please.

The reason I ask is because emotions are already on shaky ground in spiritual enlightenment discussions. For me to even say emotions go beyond ego is already going to be unpopular. So this is an uphill battle for me. It's not really a battle, but it could easily devolve into one, which I'm trying to avoid.

Are you open to having a conversation about this? I don't want to insist if it's a touchy subject.

I disagree. Criticism always follows from anger. We might disagree here. I didn't say criticism is the only source of anger. I hope not.

Absolute Love is Divine Feeling. This is just a pointer. You have to find this for yourself. But you asked me, so that's my pointer.

Nobody behaves this way.

I'll frame it like this, show me someone who never criticizes anything. That's someone truly without anger. And that is very rare.

Yeah we need another deconstructing deconstructing.

This is the game. Ready, play.

To counter you here what I find is a denial of ego that is most revealing. This is the archetype of the faker revealed.

It's best to take this with a grain of salt so to speak.

I would say this would be the wrong approach. This is way too theoretical and nobody will integrate this.

I've had this debate many times already. If this feels right to you, I would say keep on keeping on with it.

This just shows me you don't know what Love is. This is common. People who know Truth don't necessarily know Love.

This is not Love.

I'm trying not to be now. Have at it.

Okay.

Really?

It's good to be mindful of how much theory you actually put into practice. Think of all the plans you made that you didn't actually implement. We go to theory thinking it will help us with practice without realizing there is no guarantee at all here.

You seem to be selective when you use and when you omit "you". It's not consistent.

I would agree with this take if people who believe this would actually put it into practice. To me this is a weird conceptual layer almost like a philosophical religion.

I think there's a myth in spiritual enlightenment groupthink that anger or being triggered is always caused by ego. Ditto for all emotions seen as belonging to ego alone.

Yes. And then we have Intuition which is part of Beauty IMO. But Truth is the foundation.

You're trolling now bro. Come on.

Nope.
