As the saying goes, we are spiritual beings having a human experience. We are here to experience pain, anger, frustration, disappointment just as much as we are here to experience love, joy and bliss. Sure, we all love walking on clouds, dreaming of rainbows and petting kittens, but that is not our reality. Those clouds burst into rain showers, rainbows fade and kittens can bite…hard. Ouch.
As we spiritual beings explore our human nature we can scream out loud when we’re angry, flip off someone who cuts us off in traffic and punch our pillow. It’s all okay. Life happens. We are indeed human.
What I found curious is when a well-minded person posted the below joke spiritual meme, there were the few seriously spiritual folk who took offense.

“The woman in the photo is really not grounded. Her chakras are not aligned.”
Sigh. Now, I will leave explaining satire for another post, but here’s the point. No matter how many times we meditate during the day, no matter how aligned our chakras are, we will FEEL how this woman looks in the photo. As spiritual beings having this human experience, we will feel angry and disgusted. And being angry isn’t a bad thing. It is an emotional experience to learn and grow from.
A well-minded, grounded and spiritually aligned person would let out a curdling scream to release all that energy, say, “Wow, that felt good,” and gain some insight as to why they felt angry in the first place. “I hate when people cut me off in traffic. I hope they get to their destination safely.” BOOM. Spirituality restored! Back to walking on rainbows.
We can be angry, even have an angry reaction and then…poof…it’s gone. Being spiritual doesn’t mean we can’t feel negative emotions, or have no reactions, it means we have greater insight and awareness surrounding the experience.
So, don’t sweat the spiritual shit so much that we deny ourselves this blessed human experience.
NAMSTE BAD ASSES!
