transforming someone else's fury

Goodmorning, dear ones. I don't know if I have time to do this, but I'm going to try-
I want to share with you another story about the transformative power of compassion.
You know how anger is contageous? I've often wondered how to deal with someone elses anger when it is suddenly thrown at me and it's just THERE.
Yesterday as I was doing the morning school run, I was driving down a narrow road through a village. Cars were parked on the opposite side of the road and a driver approached coming the other way. He started to stop, as the parked cars were on his side. Then suddenly, he swerved out into my lane and floored it, causing me to have to slam on my breaks. His face looked so angry, and he was shouting something out through the windscreen. I felt his fury, and my initial reaction of course was to think "What a jerk... what's his problem? He could have caused an accident..." But I didn't want to feel that toward him. I found myself yet again with someone else's unwanted energy. I didn't want to keep it. I didn't want to send it back to him.
Then I remembered the transformation that took place that I wrote about in my last blog where the energy went into my own heart and changed.
I thought "Do I really want to take that into my heart?"
Well, having seen what compassion can do- why not?
So I first pictured that angry man. Then I remembered all the times in my own life when I had reacted to something with anger... and realized that he was carrying the anger before and it has nothing to do with what he was releasing it at. I held the image of him in compassion. Then I opened.
All that jarring, jagged anger zoomed in- but the weird thing is, I couldn't feel it. I could feel it's vibration, but not the anger itself. I could feel only love.
As the anger entered, the love increased.
The anger BECAME compassion.
I then sent it back to that poor furious fellow.
I wonder if he felt it?

I wanted to share this with you, to illustrate what you already know- that there is only love. We as humans are just beginning to explore the incredible, awesome power of this love.

I suppose I should say here "Please don't try this at home"... but then it's not about the taking in of negativity as it is focussing on the love that sustains us all.

I will be offline now for the next ten days- but will keep you all in my heart.
Gratefully yours- Antimorphic
