Yes, one would have to laugh
to imagine that one of the most notoriously known violent boxers and anger-management favored athletes decides to parlay his career into an industry that is known for smiling families,
dancing children, musical accolades and a place where the good guys always win.
Two nights ago, Nayka received a notice on her door from a community "organizer" in the
building who was rallying and encouraging our local residents to attend a town board meeting that night to get necessary repairs in our building worked on. Our buzzard system and locks have
been faltering along with a host of other complaints and I felt compelled to attend this meeting, if only to encourage other community "activists" to indeed
keep.........."being activists." I walked over and met "Earl," a guy wearing a Vermont T-shirt and long, gray hair. (Do all activists insist on wearing a Vermont T-shirt?
Is there something about Vermont that makes it more or less MORE peaceful than other states? Is Vermont more peaceful than let's say IDAHO? If so, should I, too, be out there looking for a
Vermont T-shirt to sport as well?) Upon arrival, it was clear that residents were quite angry and fed up with the property management's handling of the repairs and one had to wonder why you
would volunteer yourself to an end-of-the-day-anger-fest to simply get the necessary amenities of modern living accomplished.
The next morning, I received a call from the
producers of WIFE SWAP who were looking to find a "Tantric couple" to go on the show and were willing to pay $20,000 if agreed. The stipulations were that you had to be married with
children. I had to politely decline and wondered afterwards if I HAD chosen to be on the show, what kind of "swap" I would have really been anyhow. I can't imagine imposing my
Tantric lifestyle onto children who are not old enough to be understanding Kama Sutra. Perhaps it would have been interesting to encourage the children to be little mini Dakas/Dakinis wearing
gold ankle bracelets, meditating and practicing yoga and listening to Punjabi music. However, I may have surprised them to be the kind of "Wife" who simply does this: I would have
honored the natural souls who they uniquely already embody. As the REAL TANTRIC secret is to accept your own soul's nature and to accept and love all of the strengths and weaknesses one's own
soul and physical body already entails. I don't think I would have been very TV entertaining except perhaps in my biting sarcasm of other realty-based TV shows that I might catch the
"other families' children" watching in my presence. What fun would a TV show life WIFE SWAP be if every time a child was having a tantrum or a husband didn't complete the chores
that I would reply: As your soul chooses to reveal, so shall you set your own path to be?
Not but an hour later, I received continued stalking and harassment threats from a man
who's wife left him and who recently became obsessed with me, trying to get me to come to ATLANTA and when I had to politely explain that I cannot make it happen, decided to reward me with
constant threats and even a hack job to my webmaster's server, causing all of our site's to crash with him emailing me every 5 minutes with an apparent update to further demonstrate his
mental instability. I try my best to be patient and understanding with every person's need, but there are some times I wonder whether my own safety is being jeopardized by trying to assist
certain strangers in the first place. I mean you really cannot imagine my sadness than someone else's loss has resulted in stalking and harassing "The Heartache Helper?"
By
1pm, I had some children "mysteriously" run into or purposely remove my bike rack from my car. Ahh, my beloved 6am bike rides at the nearby park are temporarily put on hold. Where
shall this goddess get her solace and reassurance for each day's necessary journey without a little help from the neighborhood geese? I feel a little Tony Soprano-ish in my connection to
these birds, looking forward to feeding them and watching their babies grow, but the serenity of simple nature seems to bring me back to the simpleness of life.........before community
meetings, server disruptions, TV shows and missing property.
Needless to say, I am answering the phones during all of this. :)
Anger might be the immediate reaction to such a
day. When we are not in control of our environment or those around us, we might let anger fester in our body and take us to levels with other people that damage our internal goodness or
intention of "have a nice day." It might just make you decide to want to "bite someone's ear right off." (wink) Anger is a necessary emotion and is often not discussed in
terms of any LOVE practice. However, I fully believe that it is a necessary emotion to address and become CONSCIOUS of in terms of how it may be affecting your body currently or how it may be
affecting your relationship as we speak. When used effectively, anger can help you move in the right direction towards fulfillment. It can unblock years of damage on the soul, thus freeing
you in ways you never thought imaginable. Anger has an actual energy to it and unless you truly acknowledge its effect on your body and your life, you may never master anything
except...................frustration.
So what is the answer? I believe the secret to unleashing anger safely is to befriend it, talk to it, figure out what the heck is REALLY going
on. Do not be afraid of REINVENTION. Perhaps ANGER would be better used as a new hobby, a new life change, a new practice such as meditation, yoga or dancing? Give ANGER a new energy and let
it release itself, thus freeing you enough to make open for new things. I mean hey look:
MIKE TYSOON WANTS TO ACT IN BOLLYWOOD MOVIES.
Doesn't that just demonstrate how ANYTHING is possible these days? *************Smiling.
I look forward to hearing and seeing you very soon. I am available via the phones 8
30am-11 30am and after 7 pm.
Your Un-Swapped, Anger-Free, Bike-Trapped, Vermont-Loving Activist, Mike Tyson fan goddess,
NAYKa xoxoxo
