As you evolve, your perspective changes.

You see your life in a new way.

When we seek advice, we are wanting a different perspective. When we do not know the answers, we seek them out.

This isn’t anything new, really. But what I want to point out is You.

As we evolve our consciousness, we are shifting our perspective(s).

When I was living a very difficult chapter of my life, I couldn’t see it for what it was. I am talking about a decade of working for a very mean boss. I would go into work every day, and he would belittle me. He would torment me. He was not a very nice man at all. “He” was the problem. Or so I thought.

I was sure he was the source of my suffering. It couldn’t be “me.” As I spent years of bumping up against this tyrant, I was slowly being crushed by my own karma. His relentless badgering of me eventually put me on “the couch.” I started seeing a psychiatrist. I am pretty certain I wouldn’t have gone to see a psychiatrist had my life been any easier. But it wasn’t. It was growing more and more difficult to go into work and have my anger stirred up. I didn’t know that was what was happening. My anger made it all so difficult. I didn’t make that connection … yet. I didn’t even know I had anger issues at all. All I “saw” was this petty malicious man. Not my fault. Not my problem.

Fast forward a decade or two, and I could now see how very important those difficult years of my life actually were. During that time, where my boss was belittling me every day, I had no clue, at all, that I was an equal contributor to my suffering. I couldn’t even experience that suffering without my own karma. In other words, my boss wouldn’t have anything to “stir up” in me had it not been there in the first place. It was the fact that I had a lot, huge amounts, of anger pushed down into my subconscious, that even made it possible for my boss to get me so stirred up. In a way, he was showing me my own karma. I was completely clueless to this. But, in hindsight, this was a very important chapter of my life. Those years of my boss’s malicious badgering set me up to get (myself) cracked open. An event that would change my life forever. An event that, when I got cracked open, completely changed my life. A very critical step in my journey.

Had I not gotten cracked open, had I moved to another job, had I gotten a different boss, I would have started all over again. It had taken about 10 years for me to get to my cracking point. Those years were not “wasted” in conflict. It was the conflict itself that ended up revealing to me a much deeper mechanism operating within me, within my own subconscious. I had no clue at all that I had accumulated a massive amount of anger within me. I never knew this because I never showed my anger. I had a subconscious mechanism within me, to never show my anger, but rather, to silently push it deep into my subconscious.

I was totally dysfunctional with my anger, and yet I had no clue about this. I didn’t know anger was strong-arming my life path, until I would finally find a way to get cracked open. Thank God he was such a diligent mean man. He was so right on to taunt me every day. He played his part perfectly. I sincerely thank him for his brutality. It changed my life. I probably saved my life from chronic illness that would have manifested with so much unresolved anger within me. I was starting to get ulcers and I was having digestive tract problems which all went away one I connected with my own anger and vented a lot of it out of my psyche.

Now, when I feel myself getting upset, I know it is a message for me, in the moment, showing me aspects of myself that I haven’t resolved  … yet.  And that is priceless. My perspective has evolved, and that daily conflict of my past had brought me years of struggle and strife. In the past, I could much more easily recognize its message(s) and purpose in my life.

What is getting your attention? What is getting you emotionally upset? Where are you finding yourself feeling difficult emotions? Look there … for the keys to your freedom.

Love You
