Angry for no reason
…really?

Sometimes we just ‘blow up’ for no particular reason – or so it seems. Something small happens, we read or see something and maybe repeat this to someone else; we get an adverse reaction (or even no reaction), and there it is…pow! Was it just that moment, or did this ignite something from the past – an annoyance or anxiety – and those pesky likes and dislikes came to the fore? Tibetans might call this a ‘mara attack’, but lately I’ve put ghostly mara down to a cultural idea. There are enough demons walking among us and that includes us!

The outcome of these outbursts will be dictated by our capacity. There are nine ‘vehicles’ of confidence; if we are confident, then there is no point in arguing as this only serves to make the situation worse. We read about rage and its effects in the papers every day, and we could easily become one of those statistics.

That is why spiritual psychology in the moment is so valuable – really experiencing and understanding causes and effects.

When a situation confronts us and we run away,
We live to be confronted another day.

At the time, we may wonder, “What on earth is going on?” We are usually able to get along with people, but if we get too close… 😉 A five minute chat is fine: fifteen minutes and we start to see the horns! At any and every moment our karma ripens, and we either go insane or stay in our ‘vehicle’ of sanity.

This realisation creates
Happy for no reason
…really?
