Anger is largely used as a means of creating distance, to gather some toward the conflict or to push some away. What anger truly is, is a modality for keeping us asleep to the reality of the perfection we are a part of. Anger isn’t real. It’s a destructive force, contrived by ego, to allow us to feel somehow superior. This series serves to point out the damaging effects of anger so we can move past it and get back to, as our last series laid out, how to be Love. February 2 – So, You Big Mad?Using the trending social media bit, “You Big Mad”, as a jumping off point, Rev. Gina shifts our tendency to play the blame-game when we are angry to a people of peace through a return to love. Drawing on steps from Neill Gibson & Shari Klein’s What’s Making You Angry? and insight from the Testament of Dan found in the The Apocrypha, we are reminded to turn to love to move past anger.
