There are three kinds of violence: one, through our deeds; two, through our words; and three, through our thoughts. The root of all violence is in the world of thoughts, and that is why training the mind is so important.

fear - hate - emotion ........ it's out there
I'm the sort of person who feels it - who climbs inside
I think we are all conduits of this energy - our lizard brain taking and giving this flight or fight animal undercurrent
I think the energy is to be shaped into creativity - although the shape of emotion is too often distorted into theologies of confusion

I've read a book by Eknath Easwaran - on meditation. A practice I'm conscious of, but don't implement
-This is the teaching of Yoga-
-Yoga is the cessation of the turnings of thought-
-When thought ceases the spirit stands in its true identity as observor to the world-
-Otherwise the observor identifies with the turnings of thought-
