Re: You are an eternal soul....

Hi
Wow. I don't know if I can help in the sense of past lives or anything because I am a bit of a skeptic. I guess I use that as armor against anyone who might be less than honest or downright mental. That said, I too have had such thoughts. Funny thing is, I didn't realize that I haven't had them in about two years. I did have an abusive childhood, and I have had problems with anger and anxiety. I have been in therapy for a while. Usually, my thoughts centered around throwing hot coffee on people. Often, while in a college class, as I sat there listening to a lecture, I had constant recurring urges to throw hot coffee on the instructor. I did not act on these thoughts, and my therapist acted like it was no big deal (maybe he thought I was dangerous). I know that I have had a lot of breakthroughs and the more spiritually centered I've become, the less angry and hostile I am. I wonder if it's not just frustration about your life in general. Perhaps you're putting the cart before the horse in the sense that you are thinking that your hostile thoughts are stopping your spiritual growth, but perhaps it's the other way round? You are stopping your spiritual growth by having hostile thoughts. Just a thought, but I have the impression that you have a lot of self doubt and that you are very frustrated with your life. You feel you aren't worthy of having a satisfied and happy fulfilling life because you'd have to give up certain things you don't want to. I think that the more spiritual you allow yourself to be the less likely you'll have these thoughts. If you feel you need to, discuss it with a therapist but considier this: Why would you want to be so negative? What are you getting out of this?
