Soul Wisdom Abundance webinar no. 3

1. Soul Wisdom Abundance webinar no. 3 Anger Over-giving Entitlement The Seal of Compassion

2. A lot of us find it difficult to express anger Not to ourselves But constructively to others Why? Exercise (please don’t do this if driving or operating machinery)

3. Generalization....but.... It’s okay for women to cry It’s okay for men to get angry • Men who are frequently angry are often deeply upset but can’t express that • Women who cry a lot are deeply angry but can’t express that Denial of grief and/or anger = depression

4. Anger vs hate They are different. Anger will morph into hatred as a part of depression “I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” ― Dr. Martin Luther King

5. Anger as a force for change From depression the only way up is through rage and anger ... (Abraham-Hicks pivoting process) • Depression • Revenge/rage • Anger • Frustration • Hope • Positive action Cycle – those who are depressed move up to rage and offend people and therefore get pushed back down. Help is needed to break this if it is a repeating cycle.

6. Rage is not necessarily hatred Rage is powerless frustration and anger. It can be healed through ranting/shouting/homeopathy/other therapies/counseling But it must be acknowledged as rage. If it is presented as hatred it has become toxic. Rage is scary...and disapproved of

7. Good anger bad anger Look at yourself in the mirror Bad anger makes you look ugly Good anger makes you look radiant with fire Good anger is a powerful force for change – but it must be harnessed

8. Levels of Being Clarity Anger Rage

9. Levels of Helping Helping humanity (human) Helping yourself (animal) Helping tribe (vegetable) • Giving from pure joy – and repaid with spirit • Creating prosperity. • What you put out you get back • Fitting in and doing • what’s ‘right.’ Generally paid through ‘strokes’ expected to work for very little financial return.

10. Spirit doesn’t reach vegetable level directly... Most people in holistic/social/health work genuinely believe that they are working at the level of the heart/soul. They love to give. But in fact they are filling the role of helper at the tribal level ... Hemmed in by rules and regulations and ‘shoulds.’

11. Over-givers can’t refuel easily from Spirit They get exhausted, resentful, angry and humiliated...feel under-appreciated, unwanted, under-paid. What started out as a quest to be of service becomes a nightmare – but they struggle on bravely against the odds. Life often views them as victims Animal people on the other hand are selfish, pushy, demand their rights, are willing to move on to newer pastures, see the famine coming and change their habits. They say ‘I’m not putting up with this.’

12. ‘Animal people are unpleasant...and corrupt...’ • Politicians • Marketeers • Entrepreneurs • Business-owners • Media moguls • Showbusiness people • People who have ‘sold out’

13. The animal level is a level of initiation You have to discover your will to be able to do God’s will. You have to create your life. This is the stage where we learn how to deal with money and create financial stability. Vegetable level holds us back, pointing out the corruption that power brings. We want to be ‘good people’ so we don’t feel comfortable being animals.

14. But there is no way to the soul except through the animal level initiation So if we refuse to deal with the challenges of power; if we refuse to step up and create our own life then we fall back into the tribe/vegetable level and think we are spiritual. If we are broke and unhappy, we are not at the level of the soul. That’s the nub of it.

15. Once we have developed ‘my will’ ... We can then hand it over to ‘Thy Will.’ Why don’t we do that? Because we believe that we are entitled. Entitled to be looked after; rewarded; nurtured; appreciated for being ‘good.’

16. Being ‘good’ is the bare minimum required of us It comes with the kudos of admiration from other people in the tribe. ‘Oh she’s so brave...’ ‘He’s so good to his family...’ ‘She’s always so kind. Nothing’s ever too much.’ That’s what it means by ‘virtue is its own reward.’ People get a hit from being virtuous. The law of attraction just gives us more chances to be virtuous.

17. Working with God When you work at the level of the soul you must take all conditions off God. You don’t get to say what you do or where. You allow chaos (God does not do reasonable. God does not do logic). God will take you where you are needed to be.

18. Oddly enough, when you get there, this is a delight But you will only get there by passing through the Animal level. It’s like learning to ski. Or ride a horse. Or sail a boat. You can go with the flow. But only because you can see what’s coming and take appropriate action. You row half a mile an hour faster than the flow. This is called Co-creating with God. If you go with the flow from the vegetable level, you’ll smash into rocks.

19. Working successfully with the animal level requires: • Learning about appropriate anger and getting therapy for depression and hatred • Taking power over your own life • Becoming an individual • Earning a living at something others want to pay you for whether it’s your own company or working for others • Ending resentment and envy at others’ success • Getting off the pity-pony

20. ‘I wanted to do it but I didn’t have the resources.’ Several of us on the FB Soul Wisdom Abundance group have come up with this one. Most recently when a good business idea was ‘stolen’ by a former partner who went ahead and made it real. This is classic vegetable level response. ‘Poor me; I couldn’t do it and I resent the one who did.’ The vegetable level plays the blame game.

21. The other got to the animal level first • Animal level doesn’t work with the ‘don’t have resources’ aspect. It just does it anyway • Animal level raises money, borrows money, does it on a shoestring. It’s active The good news is that there is always a new and better idea. And if someone nicks yours – they will be busy doing that and you can animal it off with the new idea. But DO it!

22. Prosperity teaching is ALL about the animal level • It’s a vital part of spiritual work – especially for those who are ‘good.’ • It is resisted, derided and defamed by those at the vegetable level who are threatened by it. • It’s a very important step along the way BUT it is not the final destination. • The final destination (soul work) can only be undertaken well if the animal level is sound.

23. Animal and Human levels work together • Discipline of daily prayer/meditation practice • Discipline of continuing spiritual growth • Discipline of ending conditions on God • Discipline of ending illusion of entitlement • Discipline of getting out there and letting people know your work exists • Discipline of getting up again (and again) and starting over

24. To link the two perfectly... Use the ‘Seal of Compassion.’ This will ensure the success of a petition, prayer or desire. To do that, you bless others with the abundance that you are asking for yourself.

25. Love your neighbour as yourself If you were making a petition for a job, you would also include in the request all others in need of employment. If you have toothache – by all means pray for your healing from it – but also petition for any others in the same situation – yes, and animals too. In this way, your petition becomes vast, it becomes Godlike. And, as such, it becomes irresistible to That which loves all beings, and all souls.

26. Trust that there is enough • Now, this can really push the ego’s ‘security button’ – “But it is me who must have a job!” And this reveals whether we have truly understood Abundant Supply yet, or not. The All-accomplishing Power is infinite; It created – and continues to create - worlds without number. It created - and continues to create – trillions of cells in your body.

27. Realise that we are all one • Can All-accomplishing Power really be limited by one or ten thousand jobs? Is it strained by the needs of one planet amongst countless others? Of course not – how silly. The only limitations upon It are those which – because of our gifted free-will – WE impose on It!

28. At the soul level... Be a blessing to the world. Once you have made peace with the animal level this will become much easier to do. And you will never (well...rarely!) over-do it; over-give or live your life on the pity-pony again. Take life in both hands and dance.
