Sandra Rogers & 11 points on anger & hate

In a book called, Lessons from the Light, Sandra Rogers shares insights about her physical life as well as how near death experiences (NDE) transformed her from the inside out.

Regardless of whether you have a view about NDEs, to keep an open mind serves you.  Real life experience teaches you negative energy obscures and separates you from positive energy.  Everyone has choices to think, feel and recharge.  Ponder what you gain from these 11 points on anger and hate;

1) Anger is love's energy misused.

2) When we hate others, we hate ourselves. They are two sides of the same coin.

3) An act of hostility, like a ripple on a pond, radiates out from the giver until eternity.

4) Holding a grudge produces negative energy.  It not only hurts the one you hold a grudge against, it also hurts you and others.

5) As long as you are a child of rage, you will not find the power to know your potential as a child of God.

6) When you feel tempted by the emotion of anger-retreat.  Anger is not the opposite of love, indifference is.  Anger is the expression of free will, often manifest as a result of feeling controlled and feeling the need to assert our willpower over others.

7) In focusing on sex, do so in Love, never in anger.  Sex is a gift from God to be given as an expression of Love.  Some choose to use sex selfishly, in anger as a weapon, believing it is giving them power and control.

8) When you see someone full of hatred or anger, treat them with love so that you can be an example they may later reflect.

9) Bigotry is self-hate.

10) Vengeance brings only trouble.

11) When you teach fear, you create hatred and anger.

In essence, the most profound revelation you can have is that everything is pointing to the love you either allow yourself to see or resist and selectively overlook.  Awaken to see.

"Hatred is a disguised form of love. You can only hate someone whom you really wish to love, because if you were totally indifferent to that person, you could not even get up enough energy to hate him."  - Sri Chinmoy

I just heard a speaker today who was recovering from breast cancer by being a motivational speaker , she was full of joy and found laughter to share her experience. She had been very angry when her mother died very young of cancer and as a young adult she had to transform her anger because it was hurting her - that early transformation gave her recovery skills for her illness and recovery . Out of the painful lessons of life often comes our greatest insights.

Patricia, this is a refreshing addition to the post. Sandra Rogers details in her book a very challenging childhood, adolescence and young adulthood. Writing became her saving grace. It is uplifting to sense how people can empower themselves through creative expression. The healing process takes many forms when one is ready.

Liara,
Life itself is a near death experience. Death comes in many forms. As we move more toward the end of physical existence, we shed layers of what is no longer needed in other worlds. Love is the sum of all.

I gave myself a headache today after being annoyed at the big trash collection trucks that seemed to block off my route home at every turn. That was not very enlightened of me and I felt a little ashamed of my feelings even as I was feeling them.

I better get pumping some major positive vibes out there to counteract.

Alexys, your view that every moment of physical life is itself a NDE is a reminder to everyone not to take anything for granted. Every experience is a wake-up call. You decide that you are ready to see, feel and experience.

Jannie, dare yourself to respect, accept and truly value yourself. This allows you to see the harmony that flows freely in the world. It mirrors the soul. The vibe of love pulsates through your veins. Focus there and know peace. Focus there and this is what grows. When people focus on the negative, it seems to grow. Focus instead on love.

Hi Dear Liara,

# 8 speaks to me at this moment. When we love those who are showing anger, they store up our kindness in their subconsciousness to pay it forward and thus tip our collective feeling back in favor of what feels good and bright.

P.S. I am so much more enlightened and still in my mind that the Jannie Funster who left the above comment 2 years ago!! All that focussing on love and knowing peace.

Jannie, be gentle with yourself. The essence of being or core state is enlightened. You are never more or less enlightened, but rather, more or less resistant to the core state. As you love unconditionally, you only sense unity, no separation, no 'self and other.' You sense love and acceptance reflected through all things. Everything points to this. If you see or experience anything else, you allow mental filters to obscure heart-felt clarity, and do not see the true being shining inside.
