I have often tried to drop or forget my rage - but somehow now it is coming out of me stronger than ever: perhaps it's been suppressed too long and is demanding expression. You could say it's futile, but then so many things can seem futile, including life itself. It's not that I'm constantly in a state of rage, but when it does come I don't deny it anymore. And yes, I guess it's the Self I Didn't Want to Realise. It's manifestation itself.

Ken Wilbur once described the bodymind as "the battered self" (as opposed to the infinite Self)and I guess some of my rage is not unlike that of a battered wife or victim or someone who feels bullied. I feel sorry for what these body/minds have to go through - not just mine, but everyone. Although I have yet to come to the Realisation that it's "All Me" still, as Ben says, there is the Mystery and there is no control (or very little) over what is happening etc.
It has just occurred to me, incidentally, that the process of embodiment is perhaps why I'm feeling all this rage - my body doesn't like it here! It is and has been often threatened; it will remain so; it is always suffering, will suffer and die one day. My mind - who knows whether that lives on or not.
Anyway, thank you all for being patient with me as I rant my way through this one.
