Hi Em. So, whatever happened to no pain no gain? Adversity builds character? Take the bull by the horns?Seems to me Sedona Method is for pussies.

He was telling us that the quickest path to God ("although not recommended") has been said to be through anger at God: Apparently you are unaware of the paths to god through Raudra Rasa and Krodha Bhava. Although not recommended, they are considered the swiftest means of god realization. Sort of counterintuitive, but I remember a story of some kind about how being consumed with anger toward God makes God more real to the angry person than does simple devotion. Don't know if that has anything to do with what emptybill was talking about, but it does make a certain amount of sense. In Judaism, it's OK, even sometimes desirable, to be angry with God: The Talmud says that a man is not punished for what he says when he is troubled. Life hurts. Sometimes we may need to be unreasonable, sometimes we may need to shout and cry. God wants us to offer Him our wounded souls with all of their “ugly” realities, including our anger. That is a real relationship, and it is the only path to real healing, spiritual or otherwise. http://www.aish.com/sp/ph/Trauma_Anger_and_Confronting_God.html http://www.aish.com/sp/ph/Trauma_Anger_and_Confronting_God.html I wonder whether the notion that anger can be of great spirtual benefit is what Share has been tap-dancing around. Thanks for the clarification Judy. Now it is more understandable. Also, fascinating concept of anger, extreme anger, being a path toward knowing God. I can see how this could be so in certain situations but I think I would prefer to find a quieter means of "getting there". I'm just not that good at holding onto anger or at nurturing it. Anger doesn't ever feel good to me. > So, why does it seem like you're angry at Share most of the time? I can understand why you'd be angry at Barry, but it looks like to me that you and Emily and Judy don't like her and want her to leave the group. Maybe I'm wrong about this, but that's the way it looks to me. Go figure.
