Dharma Paths
Q: Certain associates can say things to me that spark an aggressive reaction. Why is so easy to spark this feeling of negativity if there is not an accumulation of energy behind it?
A: This is because of your pattern of clinging to the idea that you should have all the good things, and nothing that bothers you should ever happen, as i explained earlier. This is wishful thinking, because the nature of the world is not like that at all. The ego game you have planned is itself the explanation for how easily your anger is sparked. Because you have planned such a delicate, impossible game, and there are many things that can happen, anything that jeopardizes the plan of your ego upsets you. It is not an accumulation of energy but the pattern of clinging that is at fault.
