Thought Provoking Strategy For How To Control Anger And Frustration

[Bobytell1789]

Consider the unreality we live amongst each day, dealing with frustration, and the same with past generations, and those yet to arrive. The phony or fake ways we believe we are helping others, trying to impress the world, and of course our own egos, only make a stronger projection of a world gone mad and making it more difficult for overcoming frustration.

I often suggest to think about why the Course in Miracles shows us how we seem to walk the way of dreams through each day and usually each moment of each day.

I have found that we are consistently learning to see illusion instead of Truth, fantasy over reality, going from waking to sleeping and on to a yet deeper dream.

The illusions we make sink us deeper into the dream of separation where overcoming frustration seems to be a chore of life.

Dealing with Frustration

Each dream we have within the dream of life, space, and time leads us to other dreams, and every fantasy that seems to offer us light only leads to further darkness.

The vicious cycle of working at overcoming frustration become thoughts continually fragment, dream to dream, fantasy to fantasy, more illusion, on and on.

When I look back it seems that for me, the goal was also a search for the light that would end all need for overcoming frustration. Darkness remained, while a single ray of natural light just seemed unable to illumine my path.

Could it be the truth about my real self?

I knew that if I didn't learn soon that darkness can only cover my light, and not put it out, I would be lost permanently, always dealing with frustration, to the insanity the world lives by.

Light of Truth

Course in Miracles states, "The light is who and what we are," regardless of the world's view, and if can realize this overcoming frustration is made easy.

Let's face it, while in this world from time to time we'll surely need to get a grip on how to control anger and frustration.

Sure, the darkness at times still may make me feel uncertain and weary and difficult for overcoming frustration.

The light of truth always brings me back to the alertness of who I am.

Thoughts that are not so pure penetrate often, but my own right-mindedness--a term the Course in Miracles uses for glimpses of our higher Self, to this day has learned to quickly come to the rescue, offering sane thoughts of love for myself and the whole of creation.

Doom and Gloom

It seemed that before when dealing with frustration, a course in miracles the light would come closer or become brighter, I'd often fear it, or want to cool it down or dim its brilliance, so some darkness or a little bit of wrong-mindedness--the sense of frustration, we may say, could reenter and give me some familiarity.

The dark thoughts, regardless of their temporary comfort, would shrink me away from the light of truth, and the fear would continue-- usually with a "doom and gloom" attitude taking over.

The Course in Miracles teaches that, When we experience this type of seeming setback, however, we are still overcoming and advancing frustration, because our natural goal is to advance, away from fear and toward truth.

If we will accept this knowledge of the truth of who we are, the knowledge alone will drive us out of fear and frustration, and then signify a willingness to learn more.
