Emily & Meg discuss those feelings that comes up for every single human being: righteousness and revenge. They explore how revenge is a powerful internal force we must seek to understand. They offer ways they practice deeper self-inquiry to find out what stories are really underneath these intense feelings. They decide setting better goals - like inner peace instead of vindictiveness - can alleviate the need to prove to others we are right and they are wrong.
“How am I making this story bigger than it needs to be? How am I getting locked into proving I am right and the other person is wrong?”
“I let go because I want to be at peace.”
“Sometimes we get so bound by the ‘liner perspective’ of one possibility that we are not open to creative input or the infinite number of possibilities that exist so we torture ourselves staying in this one narrative.”
“Inner peace is the only issue you need to concern yourself with - not faking this ulterior motive of forgiveness.”
“Be careful that you are picking your course of action from a place of inner knowing, not being triggered into responding, which corrupts your decision.”
“Underneath the reacting, is a frantic feeling of powerless.”
“What is my pay-off in this story? Am I getting attention, pity, a story to entertain people, etc.?”
“The answer and the problem are always so simple.”
