Anger vs. the Outpicturing of Your Perfection

The following material was channeled by Ellen while in a semi-trance. Her guides, discarnate beings she contacts through a meditative process, have no agenda other than teaching about unconditional love and fulfilling one’s creative potential. The guides do not make predictions about the future but rather “shine our own light back to us.” During the channeling process, the channel’s own point of view can sometimes surface, so the material may not be completely free of the human element. Ellen asks you to trust your own instincts in determining what feels true for you here.

Anger is a force that flows inward rather than outward. When it’s outward it very often comes about in terms of violence, disorganization, breaking things, etc. So many of us stick to anger rather than regrettable behaviors.

There is a weakness at the core of anger. While it might look like a strength, it might engender all sorts of forceful activities, the weakness at its core can be attributed to a weak sense of self, or an unhealthy relationship with the self. Let us say more. . . . A truly angry person is often ultimately angry at him- or herself, forgetting that he or she has the ultimate power to create, to bring about results, to create his or her own “luck” as it were. So often you as human beings forget about your ultimate power of creativity, of choice making, of bringing about solutions, results, and such. When this power is forgotten you have rage. This is the rage you see in yes, a two-year-old. A two-year-old often rages at his experience of powerlessness. Perhaps he can’t get his mother to accord to him what it is he desires. Perhaps he can’t fix his broken toy, perhaps his little brother or sister won’t share. Perhaps he’s having trouble eating his peas or porridge. There are many things a small, wee one can rage about. That rage is a natural, healthy expression of frustration and a feeling of powerlessness, for the little child has got to grow into his power. And indeed, there are many things the little one cannot accomplish. But in adults, what we have is a being who can bring about whatever it is he or she imagines or desires. We often think of this in a more metaphorical sense than in the literal sense, in which I mean, yes, it is true you create what it is you want with your imagination and desire. This is the condition of your being. This is the condition of your being because that’s the way you wanted it to be.

You have the ultimate power over yourself and your life. And then you let it go. You waved bye-bye to it, you let it float away in the breeze, you dismissed it, you disowned it. How did this happen? Throughout time you saw everyone else as being more powerful than you. You saw the external world as the holder of the power.

You see a bird fly, and you see the power in that bird. It’s doing something seemingly magical. Flapping its wings, staying aloft, overseeing the land below it. Making distances seem small. Journeying from point A to point B on a whim. On a mere whim and nothing else. And this is what birds wanted to do. And you see that nothing gets in the way of their power, nothing gets in the way of their desire, their imagination. There’s nothing or nobody stopping them. And so you have to wonder why–why you believe that something is stopping you but is clearly not stopping the bird. And we see this in all the good creatures of the land, the sea and sky. We see a oneness with their environment. We see an ability to propel themselves. We see a natural support between the environment and the being, one in which there is a circular interdependence, in balance, that supports life.

But you take yourselves out of the equation. Yes you do, you take yourselves out of the equation. All these things that are apparently true in the natural world somehow fail to exist, in your mind, in the human world. Now if you think about this, you are granting more power to the mere animals, the lowly creatures that you so often place below you on the evolutionary scale. In the grand scheme of things you very strangely put these lovely animals in a place that is more simple, less complex, less intelligent, and less evolved than you humans. But at the same time what you do is you remove your unique power from your concept of self. Very strange we say, very strange. And so nothing, nothing is quite so aggravating, quite so infuriating as this sense of powerlessness. Because it is your birthright, your hallmark, your beauty, your incandescence, your magic. And you’ve taken it away from yourselves. So easy, so easy it would be to get it back. How to do that, you might ask. How to do that?

You project your imaginings outward, onto a screen. You can pretend there is a screen in front of you. Project your imagination onto it, and then wait for it to come alive. Often it will. You can go about doing what it is you do. You can see the things around you as a result of your own creativity. Now you might say but that table in front of me, I did not make it. I did not make that car in my driveway either. And that Christmas tree in the corner, no I did not make that, that’s for sure. So we say, why are these things here? How did they get there if you indeed created them? And we would like to say that there’s mass consciousness in the effort. It is a chain of events. You can understand how you didn’t create the tree. Indeed, it created itself. Now it is in your home as a Christmas tree. You were one part of the chain of events that brought the Christmas tree to you. We don’t mean to suggest that you are a king on a throne waving a wand and that things will poof! land in front of you. We would like to suggest that you placed yourself within a very broad network of interacting beings. And brought many things to yourself quite effortlessly, whether it’s the clothes on your back, the food on your table, and so on. You will find that there is a flow to the things you believe in. Some things have entered your life with a strange level of effortlessness, an uncanny flow, as if the breeze brought them in. You very often take these things for granted.

And anger is so often anger at one’s self. Is so often one’s self not registering one’s own power and one’s own beauty. It is often a result of being disrespected by others, even treated cruelly by others. This is a typical reason to encounter anger within. How could that person treat me that way? What was she thinking? How could she be so cruel, so mean? A slap in the face. It may be more a situation of neglect. Why didn’t that check come in the mail, why isn’t the phone ringing?

Universally, anger is a reaction to not seeing yourself as the sacred and supreme being that you really are. And as you draw to yourself that which you are in terms of other people, you will find them mirroring back to you your own level of self-respect. And for some reason it is easier for you to see this happening when it is externalized than when it is internally present. So you can say that anger is a result of turning yourself inside out, and then taking it back again. It is difficult and it is painful to have this lack of love reflected back at you. It seems to double the pain and the passion. It seems to increase it, intensify it, heat it up. There seems to be an almost alchemical reaction, as if the friction or the discomfort causes a heat. It has to let off steam or smoke. It’s as if you let out the heat and the anger and it comes back at you in a circular fashion. And as it turns around it gains speed, and returns to where it originated. It increased its force and then buried itself inside you. Yes, there’s a lot of motion to anger. A force propelled outward at another who is looking at you in the same way you look at yourself. And there is a time to break this circular motion. To break this pattern, to cut it off, to see it as nonproductive. To see it as hurtful. It seems to be much more easy to stop this flow of events when it is coming at you rather than coming from within you. It seems much more easy for you to say “No, don’t treat me that way,” rather than saying to yourself, “Stop treating me this way.”

So what of it? Perhaps you’re angry that you got laid off a job. Maybe you’re angry that you were underappreciated in this capacity. Maybe your salary was decreased. Your position was eliminated. You can’t get hired. You are being treated in this scenario as if you are interchangeable, replaceable, indistinguishable from the next person. You are being treated like machinery. And indeed sometimes machinery is given more loyalty and respect in a company than the people who operate it. This is true, unfortunately. And it might seem inconceivable to you that this could be true, that you could be treated with such disrespect, disregard, and that you yourself are worth far, far more than you imagined, that you yourself are quite irreplaceable. Quite unique. But we would like to say that this distance between yourself–your true self, and what you believe to be true–is quite large. When you look at these people who lay you off, for example, you might say to yourself, “They don’t care. They don’t know me. How could they do this to me? How could they fail to see how much I need this job? How could they dismiss me so easily, without compunction? Without cause? Without providing even for my safety, my security, my future, my children?” It is reprehensible, we understand. But this is the level you have all stooped to in regards to yourself. This is the degree to which you have abdicated your own authority. Negated your own magic in this world. We assure you it is true. It is a very, very, very great distance between who you are and who you believe you are. And so when you feel this distance between yourself and perhaps your figure of authority, whether it is a landlord or a boss, whether it is a neighbor, perhaps even a friend or family member, one who doesn’t understand you, doesn’t value or respect you, doesn’t see you, well, now you know how you’re treating yourself—in a similar way.

We want you to think about the dogs you might own that are snoozing by the fire, getting fed, lapping up their water, getting petted, and so on. Many of them are enjoying a much better standard of life than you, are taking it for granted, living in the lap of luxury, and enjoying every minute of it. Do you think that you could manifest these things in your life as the dog has? Would you feel guilty if you had it that easy? Would you feel decadent? Would you feel lazy?

So anger…anger is a wake-up call. Try. Try to accept more of your needs as being healthy. Whether it’s a need for attention, comfort, love, sex, abundancy, or even power. We wish you would grant yourselves these things that you desire. We do not see the life of asceticism to be one that is ennobling. We see the balance coming more when you accept these things as your right. They will not magnify in importance if you give them to yourselves when you want them. It’s when you try to deny the want that they become so large and out of balance. Yes, you are hungry for things. Your are hungry for life. You are hungry for experiences. Your are hungry for light shining back at you. You are hungry for the mirroring of your inner power and so much more. These things are merely the circle of life telling you that you are alive. Just as the fish is constantly swimming, constantly encountering a new vision underwater. You want to be fed the results of your power. This is how you know you’re alive. This is how you know you are living. It’s merely moving forward through the outpicturing of your perfection. The motion, the motion continues. And so when you project your own beauty, grace, wonder outward, you will then receive it like the fish, the dog, or any other creature. When you project an image of your own powerlessness–something that the human race is clinging to, has been for eons–you will get it back to yourself. You will not like what you see. So we implore you to be a little more selfish, a little more self-centered, a little more self-respecting.
