How's Your Rage Level These Days?
On a scale from none to losing your sh*t?
[The Righteous Kind of Rage]
In multiple conversations lately the topic of rage has come up. And it's the good kind.
This is a healthy rage.
A long overdue rage.
A planet that is tired of us shitting on Her and Her creatures rage.
A tired of feeding everyone else while starving rage.
Tossing off victim and collapse energy rage.
Ending associations with people who refuse to grow their identities rage.
A system that won't take another minute of your bullshit rage.
A dragon borne, world-changing, life affirming, soul transforming, alchemizing-rage-into-fierce-love, kind of rage.
The days of imagined powerlessness and mindless consumption are over.
There is work to do.
Stop wallowing and stand up. Stop allowing seeds to be planted in your energy field that grow trees with thorny twisted trunks.
Stop giving toxicity access to your Life Force. This means people, TV, news, social media and I am really bad about all of this. Except people who I mostly keep at arm's length for this season of my life, lol!
Social media knocks me unconscious and I can lose hours. TV dazes me and I fall asleep and wake up more tired. Don't even let me near a radio playing NPR!
Rage at my mind being purposely manipulated to stay on the apps or consuming media longer helps me burn through the ropes binding me to my phone.
Rage when my work is not getting to the people who can benefit from it the most fuels me to write, and post, and write some more, and keep experimenting with courses.
Rage when my joints hurt from eating grains keeps me on my fasting plan. I deserve to feel good in this Body and I get mad af when I forget and ignore an emotion that then drives me to mindless choices.
The right kind of righteous rage burns clear, clean, and efficiently through your life. Burning off the deadwood and debris, creating fertile ash for new growth, motivating you to shake off the nonsense and get going.
Victim energy, helpless, impotent rage leaves you bitter, hopeless, and resigned. It simmers, acidic, caustic, in your cells. Microscopic cellular stewpots that create madness and disease and poison that feeds addictions.
I'm good friends with both kinds! I know now how to tell the difference and believe me, honey bunnies, a lotta y'all need to tap into that Righteous Rage more often.
Here's to burning down the prisons in our Minds!

My rage hit "11" this afternoon (which means losing my shit AND having zero interest in cleaning it up). This essay arrived at the perfect time and describes exactly where the rage is stemming from.
