Key Lesson: No event itself creates anger
(in us) anymore than a flame causes a moth to fly into it and be consumed.
Events serve to reveal our nature (to us) by stirring and releasing from its
un-plumbed depths some quality or character within it, bringing up and into us
an awareness of its (unimaginable) potential.
Agree
to Be Changed
Events in our lives serve lessons. Lessons
serve truths. And each truth that we will submit to changes us into a human
being more whole than we were prior to the event.
What
we suffer over in life is lessons we have yet to learn. When we are in pain, it's because a lesson has been refused.
For example, let's say
you're talking to somebody and you see that you can't stop from saying
something cruel. In the split second you see that you can't stop yourself from
making that cruel comment, you have a flash of painful understanding that you
weren't what you imagined yourself to be prior to the event. Then up comes
resistance to that painful truth, meaning everything in you finds a way to
justify what you've just said instead of recognizing that you had mistaken
yourself to be something you are not. In that moment of instantaneous
recognition of the truth of yourself is the lesson riding in on the back of the
event.
