Find Your Rage, You Find Yourself . . .

Find Your Rage

Rage cuts through the BS. It gets to the heart of things and sweeps all else away. There’s nothing like it to get things going in life. As a psychotherapist and writer, I want to make sure you understand that rage has nothing to do with losing your temper – a destructive act. A person in the midst of a temper fit has lost hold of self; they’re possessed by a dark emotion that hurts, maims, and ruins what has the potential to be good. So, the kind of rage I’m talking about is not temper. We find our rage by bypassing our temper and tapping into an assertiveness that sets things right.

Rage Gets to the Heart of Things

When everything goes crazy, emotions are mixed up, and the situation becomes confusing, tap into rage as assertiveness. Let yourself zero in on the bottom line of what’s causing pain. In Goddess of Everything, a young man and his wife are troubled. Their marriage is suffering. Things are confusing. Dealing with the dark magic at work takes cutting through the BS of the husband’s denial. Getting to the heart of things is the only hope of releasing yourself from the swirl of psychic confusion and destructive living. Rage, assertiveness that sets things right, can help take you from crazy to hope.

Rage and Let the Fates Tell the Tale

“You find your rage, you find yourself,” said the old healer in Goddess of Everything. Rage is a gift if it sets things right. It helps us and others heal and grow. Not all respond favorably. And that’s their problem, not ours. The dark witch, hidden behind the black cloak of religion gone awry, howls and jettisons terrible black magic against those who oppose her. Goddess of Everything puts things on the line – use it or lose it – rage! A husband and wife’s fate depends on rage and its power to confront wickedness and let the fates tell the tale.

The Magic of Metaphysical Reading

/in , , , , , , , /by

Metaphysical refers to what is natural but outside the ordinary realm of human perception. It’s about realities lying beyond empirical data usually picked up by our five senses. As a psychologist and writer of metaphysical thrillers, it’s magical to move into the realm of the unconscious mind. Images and feelings flow in creative, startling, and sometimes life-changing ways when I open my mind during therapy and writing.

As I opened my computer to write this brief essay this morning, I felt an inner prompting. I like short essays and slim volumes. They catch the inspired vibe without thinning out the spirit of the work. The inspiration I feel is a touch of magic from what William James, father of American psychology, called a great unseen realm that affects our daily lives. So, I’m touching the keys, writing, and letting word magic flow.

Word magic in essays or stories touches our imagination. The words, sentences, ideas and narratives are living things. They impart life. Before sleep, I read metaphysical fiction. It’s magic! It stimulates my soul, the reading encouraging my unconscious mind to roam freely. And, out pop unexpected characters and dramas, angels and demons, and catch-me-by-surprise psychic encounters. And, inevitably, there’s an embedded message.

Reading metaphysical fiction stimulates the mind, embedded imaginal messages downloaded from page to soul. You needn’t pick up a book on symbol or dream interpretation. The feeling of the story, whether in a dream or a piece of fiction, conveys all we need to know. Feelings are triggered, something in us shifts, and our minds are opened a little more. It is common for imaginations to shut down; rigidity, snarkiness, and emptiness are signs of a malnourished imagination. Images and symbols in dreams and stories are the soul medicine we need to reinvigorate and get us going again along our life path.

So, dipping into the magical realm of the unconscious mind when dreaming and reading can give us a life reboot. It’s why we feel better after a good night of sleeping and dreaming. And it’s why we can feel open and even excited about living in a world that lets us tap into the unconscious mind, the spiritual realm. And lastly—a little embedded thought—reading metaphysical stories is a waking dream that takes us deeper into the imagination, images and symbols that kindle magic and invigorate our soul.

The Mystic Garden

/in , , , /by

 

In a mystical garden, a young woman, Aria, encountered an insightful and gentle healer named Seraphina. Seraphina brought solace to the souls who entered the garden. Intrigued by Seraphina, Aria approached her.

Seraphina smiled.

With gentleness and sensitivity, Seraphina became Aria’s teacher. Over many years, she taught Aria the art of healing. Aria learned to be sensitive and work with the life energy that would mend nervous minds and restore lost spirits.

Aria discovered the art of listening with empathy and providing comfort and guidance to those in need. She helped to create a nurturing and loving environment in the mystical garden.

As Aria’s healing abilities grew stronger, she encountered resistance from spirits trapped in their pain. They resisted healing. They questioned her intentions, doubted her abilities, and lashed out at her in frustration.

With the support and guidance of Seraphina, Aria learned to strengthen her trust in her healing abilities and the transformative power of empathy. She deepened her sensitivity to holding space for pain and resistance and offered a healing presence without attachment to the outcome.

Over time, patience and compassion dissolved walls of resistance and opened new pathways for healing. With every healing encounter, Aria witnessed the impact of compassion and connection, their positive energies reverberating throughout the garden.

The air became charged with a serene energy. Plants and flowers swayed gently, their movements synchronized in a graceful dance. The sweet scents of their blossoms filled the garden, carrying with them a sense of peace and renewal.

As Aria matured in her healing abilities, she and Seraphina continued for years to come to offer their healing touch to all who entered the mystical garden, a quiet realm of compassion, connection, and transformation.

And so, the mystic garden, infused by the subtle radiance of compassion, thrived and emitted its essence into the fabric of all of life and sensitive souls the world over.

The Boy, the Words, and the Magic

/in , , /by

In a far-off land many years ago, a boy named Ayaan lived in a village surrounded by gentle hills and abundant forests. Ayaan was known for his warm nature, captivating eyes, and perpetual smile that could brighten even the dreariest days.

Ayaan’s days were brimming with thrilling escapades as he ventured into the woods, marveling at the flight of birds overhead and attentively listening to the secrets whispered by the wind among the leaves. He possessed a connection with nature and shared a special bond with all living beings.

One morning, while exploring deeper into the forest, Ayaan stumbled upon an oak tree. Its branches stretched towards the sky like weathered fingers yearning for heaven’s touch. Intrigued by its presence, Ayaan cautiously extended his hand and gently touched its bark. To his astonishment, he felt a comforting warmth coursing through his fingertips as if the tree had acknowledged him.

From that moment, something within Ayaan shifted. He began experiencing an exhilarating tingling sensation in his heart whenever he discovered places or met new people. It was as though an invisible guiding force was whispering clues and nudging him towards paths of goodness and peace.

Once while Ayaan was enjoying a moment by the river, he suddenly heard a voice in his mind. The voice warned him to step so he wouldn’t slip on a stone and fall into the water. This experience amazed him because it felt like something other than luck. It felt like magic.

As Ayaan grew older, his intuitive abilities blossomed. He had a talent for sensing when someone was feeling blue and always seemed to find the words to offer them comfort. The villagers were in awe of his ability to predict the weather. They started seeking his guidance on matters of love, nature, and life’s challenges.

However, along with Ayaan’s gift came difficulties. He felt the pain and hardships that others faced. It was overwhelming. Then, through his intuition, he discovered ways to alleviate suffering and lighten people’s burdens.

On an evening illuminated by moonlight, Ayaan sat beside an oak tree that seemed to radiate wisdom. As he closed his eyes in thought, he sensed a connection with the spirit of the old tree. In this moment of clarity, Ayaan realized intuition was a gift for fostering empathy and understanding.

From that point, Ayaan dedicated himself to using his intuition to assist those in need. He became a beacon of wisdom and understanding within his community, offering guidance with inspired words.

As days turned into years, Ayaan’s renown went beyond his hometown. Travelers from distant lands flocked to seek his guidance. And tales of the boy, the words, and the magic reverberated for generations.
