Sorry I missed this one. Anger in me is often mysterious. When I acknowledge that force inside screaming at me for attention, I reflect for a short moment that I have always found that it is smaller than I thought and my assumption that it would kill me is a mistaken belief. In a culture that does not provide permission or space for it to be expressed, I was taught some mistaken strategies for hiding this part of me. I hope that the session empowered everyone to touch this one. What lies beyond is more responsibility and freedom for me and I hope for you too.
YES, David. I love your wisdom: "in a culture that does not provide permission or space for it to be expressed..." I would go further and say...actively shuts it down, avoids, denies and represses it EXCEPT in forms of violence that we see for example in culture, video games, movies, etc. It's a big topic. I think we'll spend more time with it next week.
