If all anger is victim thinking, then all angry fantasies are too...victim writ large on my ego.
I cannot expect to meet such as blatant disrespect with calm without doing the thought-work of “thank you” to everything. Sitting in the silence, picturing a lily of the valley and saying “thank you”…sitting in the silence, picturing a person disrespecting me in front of others and saying “thank you.”
Without thought-work (or positive fantasies), my untrained thoughts will invariably go to victim fantasy, i.e., setting the person straight who disrespected me by disrespecting him/her even bigger, stronger, uglier…and more often than not, setting the person straight who has not yet disrespected me, but I just know s/he is going to, wants to, is doing so behind my back…that kind of victim fantasy.
I have read that by giving up the belief in good and evil, or dual thinking, one moves up to deepest consciousness, known by some as the Garden of Eden, and what I call before-conception consciousness.
A simple “thank you” to everything…good, bad, boring…takes away the ego glory in perceived good and the resistance to perceived evil…and, in effect, leaves one transparent.
Thank you.
