Well, why am I choosing to go with the anger rather than the awareness? Take another example is anxiety because, and even if you scratch the surface of anger, what you're really gonna find underneath is fear. It's always fear. So let's put the welcome medal for our fear or anxiety and just invite it into the present moment. How's it feel in your body? Where is it in your body? Is it in your jaw?

Is it in your chest? Is it in your shoulders? Is it in your fists or fingers? And then you ask yourself that same question, is my awareness of all this anxiety anxious? And the giveaway is you're going to find that it's never anxious. No, it is not. It's not anxious.

And so that's a kind of, it's like you're reclaiming the territory that is your birthright, who you really are underneath your age, your name, your gender identification, all of that stuff. Who are you really can't be put into words. Maybe poets can do it. Maybe if you were a haiku poet, you could do it in three lines. But what if you turned your whole life into poetry?

Then you wouldn't need the poetry. You'd be the poetry. And it's a love affair and it's infectious too. If you ever meet somebody, I've seen this a lot around the Dalai Lama who had privileges, spend, you know, a number of different occasions with pretty up close and personal.

They can't even see him, but they know he's there and people will start crying. And why is that? I've always wondered, why is that? And it's not just because they have all such projections about how perfect or wise he is, and especially if you actually are in a room with him.
