Hey There,

warning: strong language

today's episode is very dear to me.

aggression is my go to emotion when I feel powerless or too sad for too long.

It is the most misunderstood emotion ever, as I find.

I will be covering the pain body as first described by Eckhart Tolle and past wounds. In future episodes I want to provide you with tools on how to untangle yourself from feeling trapped in all this.

Unknown: 00:01:09

it's all going to be fine. I'm gonna be patient and bite

Unknown: 00:01:15

through it. Because you're so worth it. I want you to have the

Unknown: 00:01:20

best quality when you choose to spend time with me. So let's

Unknown: 00:01:27

dive in. Today, I announced yesterday, I announced that I

Unknown: 00:01:34

will be talking about emotional pain and aggression. Let's talk

Unknown: 00:01:40

about emotional pain first, because I feel emotional pain is

Unknown: 00:01:47

the first step that leads us to be aggressive. Do you care carry

Unknown: 00:01:54

pain around with you and don't even know it? How do you find

Unknown: 00:01:59

out? There's this awesome guy called eco tala. And he

Unknown: 00:02:05

describes said as the pain body. So if you think about your

Unknown: 00:02:12

physical body, now imagine your emotional body being just as

Unknown: 00:02:21

susceptible to pain, then your physical body. And when someone

Unknown: 00:02:29

is attacking us when something hurts us, it creates a scar on

Unknown: 00:02:36

our emotional body. And can you imagine how it would look like

Unknown: 00:02:43

feel like be like to have these wounds visible? I would hope

Unknown: 00:02:52

that we would all be way more gentle with each other. But

Unknown: 00:03:02

let's think about all the stuff that has hurt you in the past.

Unknown: 00:03:07

And did you really get over it? Or is it still bugging you

Unknown: 00:03:11

today? We can go even into your childhood and everything that

Unknown: 00:03:17

happens between zero and seven years of age is kind of burned

Unknown: 00:03:23

into your heart where and that stuff is really hard to dig out

Unknown: 00:03:31

and expose and get rid of because it's really burned into

Unknown: 00:03:39

our little spongy brain. sponge because we soak everything up

Unknown: 00:03:46

when we're little. So all the experiences that you've made so

Unknown: 00:03:54

far, have left an impression on you. You made your conclusions.

Unknown: 00:04:02

You might have found resolution and closure. But no one

Unknown: 00:04:09

navigates through life with a clean shirt. So to say we all

Unknown: 00:04:16

have stuff that we had a hard time to let go. That is still

Unknown: 00:04:21

bugging us. And when we get injured when we get emotionally

Unknown: 00:04:27

attacked. Then what our brain does is detaching from that

Unknown: 00:04:35

experience. Or whatever comes up in the future that reminds us of

Unknown: 00:04:41

that experience will have a huge impact on us and a huge reaction

Unknown: 00:04:49

will arise because of stuff that is being triggered. We learn

Unknown: 00:04:56

then to avoid or resist or fight Everything that reminds us of

Unknown: 00:05:02

that pain that has happened to us in the past. And maybe you

Unknown: 00:05:06

are doing this consciously. But most of the time, that stuff

Unknown: 00:05:12

happens unconsciously. And we just see it in how people react

Unknown: 00:05:18

to us. And sometimes we don't get why people react in a

Unknown: 00:05:22

certain way. Because we are so unaware of how we behave, that

Unknown: 00:05:27

we only focus of what is happening

Unknown: 00:05:31

outside. And why is that a bad thing? It is a bad thing,

Unknown: 00:05:38

because we usually then retreat into victim mentality and blame

Unknown: 00:05:46

others see all the faulty things that happen outside of us, but

Unknown: 00:05:52

we can quite see what is happening inside of us that we

Unknown: 00:05:57

could correct and where we have the power to change. And so if

Unknown: 00:06:05

we learn to avoid pain, resist or fight potential pain, because

Unknown: 00:06:14

it is our brain who can see the danger, but because of a

Unknown: 00:06:18

distorted view on reality, yeah, you are so scared of being left

Unknown: 00:06:25

alone again. Let's say if that was one thing in your childhood,

Unknown: 00:06:32

that now every time the slightest moment of loneliness

Unknown: 00:06:38

comes up, you just freak out and you have to, like try to

Unknown: 00:06:44

suffocate that ugly feeling of love, loneliness. And we can

Unknown: 00:06:50

really learn we can unfuck ourselves, so to say from from

Unknown: 00:06:55

those avoid and detachment behaviors and can reintegrate

Unknown: 00:07:06

and become the person we were supposed to become, again.

Unknown: 00:07:12

Because when we close ourselves up, and like, try to protect

Unknown: 00:07:18

ourselves too much, then we also close ourselves up to love and

Unknown: 00:07:23

the most beautiful things in life that asked from us to be

Unknown: 00:07:28

courageous, right? Like when you live in fear, when you live in a

Unknown: 00:07:33

constant state of protectiveness, then you really

Unknown: 00:07:37

miss out. And that should be enough of a reason to dig up old

Unknown: 00:07:44

stuff and look at it and then put it to peace, put it to sleep

Unknown: 00:07:49

forever. So let's look at some examples. We have racism, we

Unknown: 00:07:56

have heartbreak, we have accidents, we have

Unknown: 00:08:00

disappointment, that all can happen and deeply injure us and,

Unknown: 00:08:08

and even shape our perception, on life and on society and on

Unknown: 00:08:17

people in general. When we make these experiences than usually

Unknown: 00:08:25

we see black and white, there is racism from white people against

Unknown: 00:08:30

black people and from black people, against white people. I

Unknown: 00:08:36

experienced it when I was living in South Africa. Like for four

Unknown: 00:08:40

months, I had really a taste of what racism feels like. And I

Unknown: 00:08:46

know how crippling it is and scary. But I refuse to see South

Unknown: 00:08:54

Africa as a racist country like it's not just to then make a

Unknown: 00:09:01

general like radical conclusion just because I had a bad

Unknown: 00:09:05

experience. Same with heartbreak. Yeah, when you go

Unknown: 00:09:11

through a really terrible heartbreak. Of course you have

Unknown: 00:09:14

to heal and rest and rejuvenate and everything. But there comes

Unknown: 00:09:19

a time where you have to go out there again with a complete open

Unknown: 00:09:25

heart and mind and be curious about the other person and

Unknown: 00:09:31

noticed when your mind is trying to protect you when when you're

Unknown: 00:09:36

trying to run away from intimacy again. You're probably wondering

Unknown: 00:09:43

when I'm finally get into aggression, but I'm getting

Unknown: 00:09:46

there. Be patient with me. So when shit happens, it is burned

Unknown: 00:09:53

into a memory like a scar and to avoid future pain. We

Unknown: 00:09:58

subconscious We change our behavior. And that is so tricky,

Unknown: 00:10:04

because, as you probably know, subconscious means that we are

Unknown: 00:10:09

absolutely not aware that our behavior is changing, that we

Unknown: 00:10:14

becoming more dark or more

Unknown: 00:10:17

heavy or more aggressive even. And that affects how we relate

Unknown: 00:10:23

to people and things. And in turn affects what we bring into

Unknown: 00:10:32

our life attract into our life, you don't have to be all too

Unknown: 00:10:37

esoteric to understand that I don't want to say because I know

Unknown: 00:10:43

you can follow me. But once you shout into the forest, you

Unknown: 00:10:48

receive back, there's a quote like that in German, please

Unknown: 00:10:53

correct me if I'm wrong. If you have a bad mood and you behave

Unknown: 00:10:59

aggressively, then there's a huge chance that the feedback

Unknown: 00:11:05

will be negative as well, except if it's a person who can cut

Unknown: 00:11:10

through your bullshit and see your pain. But usually, it has

Unknown: 00:11:14

to be a person that knows you for a long time. So your

Unknown: 00:11:18

behavior changes on a subconscious level. And you

Unknown: 00:11:22

attract things out of some that you don't really want. But you

Unknown: 00:11:25

don't understand why. And this is because of the emotions that

Unknown: 00:11:30

we send out into the world, and that make us feel stuck and

Unknown: 00:11:36

influences greatly how we make choices, our decision making is

Unknown: 00:11:42

hugely dependent on how we feel about ourselves and others. And

Unknown: 00:11:48

this is what I want you to be aware of today. And that even

Unknown: 00:11:53

changes the way you see yourself and you feel about yourself, and

Unknown: 00:11:58

you see and feel all that others, all of it is affected.

Unknown: 00:12:03

So let's go deeper into an example here. Let's say that in

Unknown: 00:12:09

high school, you were bullied that one time because you were

Unknown: 00:12:14

not a good sports man, sports woman, and people started making

Unknown: 00:12:19

fun of you. So how do you step into the world, then you step

Unknown: 00:12:23

into the world thinking that you are not sporty, not capable of

Unknown: 00:12:28

any physical activity, and you retreat you may be not because

Unknown: 00:12:34

of a passion, become an artist, because you think you're not

Unknown: 00:12:40

worth being a sporty person, because he had that shitty

Unknown: 00:12:44

experience. And it can be the other way around too. You can be

Unknown: 00:12:48

born into a family of intellectuals and bankers,

Unknown: 00:12:53

accountants, whatnot, but be born into a soul being an

Unknown: 00:13:00

artist, a singer, a songwriter, or a painter. So how do you feel

Unknown: 00:13:07

about yourself when you bring back a painting from school and

Unknown: 00:13:12

your family says well, but your math grades suck. But your

Unknown: 00:13:18

English skills suck. So how do you feel then about yourself of

Unknown: 00:13:24

course, you're going to think that you're a useless piece of

Unknown: 00:13:28

human being who has nothing to serve the world. So the

Unknown: 00:13:34

experiences you made in the past that might have shaped you that

Unknown: 00:13:38

you maybe have forgotten about and and really affect the way

Unknown: 00:13:43

you see yourself and then the society around us that at

Unknown: 00:13:47

sometimes some point in our life has taught us that we are not

Unknown: 00:13:53

okay how we are and we have to change to fit in because

Unknown: 00:13:58

otherwise we get excluded or whatnot. And I feel this is the

Unknown: 00:14:05

root cause of aggression and aggression is the most Miss

Unknown: 00:14:08

understood emotion that there is because yeah, you can be an

Unknown: 00:14:13

aggressive car driver or sportsman, sports woman. But

Unknown: 00:14:18

aggression among people is deriving because of feeling

Unknown: 00:14:24

misunderstood, feeling, powerless, feeling not seen and

Unknown: 00:14:31

feeling as if you don't matter. It's a deep feeling of sadness.

Unknown: 00:14:38

That turns people into evil, aggressive people. And I can

Unknown: 00:14:46

talk from experience because I've been there and I have not

Unknown: 00:14:51

completely healed from it yet. I still have tremendous aggression

Unknown: 00:14:55

inside of my chest, but I learned to channel it out. And

Unknown: 00:15:00

to be aware of it and go deeper, if you can think about a

Unknown: 00:15:05

pyramid, aggression is more on the top level of the pyramid of

Unknown: 00:15:12

emotions, and lower levels of emotions, like

Unknown: 00:15:16

the deep base of aggression can be shame, and sadness. And if we

Unknown: 00:15:24

would learn to see it in ourselves, and then reflect that

Unknown: 00:15:30

into the outside world again. And if we could teach people to

Unknown: 00:15:34

see it in other people, and not react to the aggression that is

Unknown: 00:15:39

happening, but seeing the bullshit that is going on

Unknown: 00:15:43

underneath, we would be such a strong society and so supportive

Unknown: 00:15:50

with each other. I don't know if you can hear it in my voice. But

Unknown: 00:15:54

this topic is really dear to me. aggression is really a tricky,

Unknown: 00:16:01

tricky emotion because it pushes people away, when you want them

Unknown: 00:16:06

to be closest, when you finally want to express yourself, yeah,

Unknown: 00:16:12

when you held back your sadness and your powerlessness and your

Unknown: 00:16:16

shame for too long. And it just bursts out of you, and you want

Unknown: 00:16:21

to make people hear you. But it comes out as this aggressive,

Unknown: 00:16:27

ugly language, where people have two choices, they can make this

Unknown: 00:16:36

how do you say they can play them? not hearing, not seeing,

Unknown: 00:16:44

just receiving, but actually being shut down. So they keep

Unknown: 00:16:49

being in your presence, but don't really understand you and

Unknown: 00:16:53

just wait until you're done. Then there's the other person

Unknown: 00:16:56

who snaps back, which makes it most of the time even worse. And

Unknown: 00:17:02

then there's the person who can see that you are in pain and

Unknown: 00:17:06

then cuts through and just gets in there. And it's there for

Unknown: 00:17:11

you, even though you were aggressive. And those are the

Unknown: 00:17:14

people who really get you who really want to be close to you.

Unknown: 00:17:19

And we have to learn to express ourselves better. And that

Unknown: 00:17:25

aggression is a nice tool is an awesome, awesome emotion to

Unknown: 00:17:32

sometimes get things done and to be successful. But when we

Unknown: 00:17:37

interact with others, when we want to feel understood,

Unknown: 00:17:40

aggression can be the way to go. It pushes people away, it scares

Unknown: 00:17:45

people, especially when it is a man and a woman and the woman is

Unknown: 00:17:50

the enabler and the man is reacting aggressively, then the

Unknown: 00:17:55

woman will not change her behavior. The way it'd be best.

Unknown: 00:18:01

She will be scared she will be defensive. And she will

Unknown: 00:18:05

manipulate and fuck you up in other ways then you actually

Unknown: 00:18:09

want so this is my first episode about aggression, aggression,

Unknown: 00:18:16

aggression, and it was not the last.

Unknown: 00:18:20

I'm finding it. Awesome to talk about it. It helps me a lot.

Unknown: 00:18:25

If you follow Bill Burr, if you know the comedian, then look up

Unknown: 00:18:31

some stuff from him. He's hilarious and he talks about his

Unknown: 00:18:36

aggression quite openly. I'm going to leave you at that. take

Unknown: 00:18:41

really good care of yourself. We covered a lot today. And don't

Unknown: 00:18:46

forget iTunes, Spotify and Stitcher are the platforms where

Unknown: 00:18:52

you can find me in the future. Lots of love Aurora with
