When you vent and complain, you speak to it, it gets larger and meaner. Now picture a larger, more frightening demon. Maybe he breathes fire 🔥 and hulks over you, glowering.
You decide to release it and you feel better. Your anger rushes off, an influx of cool air greets you, cooler emotions take over.
Now, where do you think the demon went?
This is where the unseen karma enters your life.
Your demon is listening carefully to your last words. How did you release it? If you spoke out any form of negativity, it will carry out your last words, viciously.
If you decide to end a relationship, it will literally cut someone loose, and the blow may be physical or mental but it will be severe. Your demon has a form in the mental and spiritual reality that exists beneath and behind the facade of material existence.
Not only does it exist, but this is your demon and you released it. You own it's karma. It's energy must be spent, and again, it is you who created and released the demon.
It does not absolve you merely because you do not realize or remember this. Thus life seems so random when it is not.
Those who think they understand cause and effect, they must think again.
Here is a little story I copied on the subject of anger:
From: TheDailyEnlightenment.com Weekly 21/04/05:
On one occasion, the Buddha was invited by the Brahmin Bharadvaja for alms to his house. As invited, the Buddha visited the house of the Brahmin. Instead of entertaining Him, the Brahmin poured forth a torrent of abuse with the filthiest of words. The Buddha politely inquired:
"Do visitors come to your house, good Brahmin?"
"Yes," he replied."What do yu do when they come?""Oh, we prepare a sumptuous feast.""What do you if they refuse to receive the meal?""Why, we gladly partake of them ourselves.""Well, good Brahmin, you have invited me for alms and entertained me with abuse which I decline to accept. So now it belongs to you."From the Akkosa Sutta
The Buddha did not retaliate but politely gave back what the Brahmin had given Him. Retaliate not, the Buddha advised. "Hatred does not cease through hatred but through love alone they cease."
I have seen the negative thoughts, emotions and energy and felt their blows. I have unwittingly released the anger and witnessed its effects, all seemingly disconnected from me - only on the surface of reality. And I have seen and understand the blowback from the extreme negative karma generated by anger.
Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.
To you, I advise, never feed the anger. And once you recognize it, never release it. Transform that little demon into a kinder gentler being. Speak love unto him and watch him blush pink. Give him a flower and shine the light into him. Never let him go until he is a kind thought or a good deed.
