Rex, I think having this as a forum would be the most useful.


1. Anger is complex

2. Questions/individual trigger could be discussed individually without confusion.

3. Maps out what is being specifically discussed.

I am sure that there will be alot of over lap, but it's own forum will cut back on a lot of confusion.

Hi Rev Rex - What about a sub-forum devoted to mental health issues? It could be entitled "Mental Health" or "Self Improvement" - something along those lines. I could think of alot of different issues, including anger, that could be addressed: negative vs. positive thinking, guilt, depression, relationships, self-love, communication, just to name a few. I would venture to bet that most people who come here are at least interested in doing some kind of inner work, if they haven't done a great deal already.

Best of luck in your new endeavor - it sounds exciting. Frankly,I've always felt that we should be teaching basic life skills and emotional fitness starting in kindergarten. Keep us updated!

Very good idea, and in keeping with that, here it is! Thank you Lightkeeper!

To qualifications: I feel only he/she that is free from the belief in anger is qualified to judge, yet he/she that is qualified would not judge. I remember a time I wanted to give a class on spiritual Healing at the Unity Church. I was asked for my qualifications, I replied: As far as I know God does not give certifications.

My belief is that no one hurts another unless he/she is acting out of a pain he/she feels him/herself.

From the perspective of being attacked, I see I am the creator of this experience. I take full responsibilty. I would also like to add, that being attacked has brought the best out of me : ) Even though it is most often painful, it forces me to look into my beliefs, and acknowledge that which is holding me back from experiencing oneness.

I think a thread for the "victim" or "believers in anger" would be better than for those expressing anger. I truly don't believe that someone that is angry is going to like being refered to a thread to look into the cause of his/her anger, which is judgemental all together and only causes someone to feel even more angry. That would serve no purpose.

And another thought:
When I was a teenager I had to wear glasses. Suddenly I saw everyone wearing glasses. The same when I got pregnant, everywhere big bellies : ) What we see in others is a reflection of ourself. If we see anger in others instead of fighting it, resisting it, pointing out the "mistake" in others, how about looking within ourselves and asking: Why is this being brought to my attention? Do I believe in Anger? Is that how I am creating this problem? When we are truly honest with ourselves we can find that we are the creators of everything that is reflected in our life, on this board and in this world.
