It is so interesting how words can be the catalyst to connection or the hammer of destruction. It is so much easier to find the words to express anger than to express fear, concern, sadness, confusion or any other emotion that can feel so vulnerable. I am sure there are many reasons why this is like this but I think one of the main reasons from a spiritual sense is that anger responses are reactionary in nature. When we are angry we are not filtering other information, we are responding to the anger.
This process can (notice I said can) bypass the spiritual processing system each person sets up for his or herself. As we all know, this makes things complicated. Anger is a natural response, it is not always a natural response to process before action. I watch this all the time; sometimes with others and sometimes with myself.
As discussed in The Four Agreements, words are powerful. We write these contracts with ourselves without even knowing it. We set up these shadow agreements on how we deal with certain situations, how to respond, who we are and who we are not. We unintentionally build bridges towards successful connections with ourselves and others or we tear the bridges down to crumbles.
These shadow agreements, contracts, thoughts or even traps, if you will, are dangerous. They put parameters in our lives that stop growth and block the beautiful parts of life from getting too close. Part of getting blessings or love in your life is by opening yourself to the possibilities of receiving it. If your shadow agreements are blocking your blessings, consider what you are losing in your battle to stay safe.
Once you are able to accept that you are blocking your blessings, you might have an easier time finding words to allow them back in.
May we all be so blessed.
