Day 152 – Don’t Tread on Me II

So, picking up from yesterday, a cool point, to point-out, is that it is really not the event that is the topic, it is who I am within the event; or rather, it is who I am accepting and allowing myself to be in relation to the event.  The event is the trigger – that point wherein I accept and allow myself to go into a reaction of some-sort. 

In this case, I was here with myself watching myself go into these reactions where I gave myself permission to go into these reactions almost for no reason at all.  It was more of an impulse, like here I am, I have this event, and this event is a great excuse to start reacting, let’s do this! 

I suppose there is a whole personality system that was activated that relates to this event or events like these, where part of me was just itching to go into this personality as if it were pleasurable to do so to a certain extent.  I say this because there was a sense of pleasure while going into this reaction in a certain way, with in regards to the humor I used, the anger reaction- the totality of the reaction event that lasted for like an hour was very specific and I like knew how I was going to be before going into this, like a whole personality system that I recognized and liked and was looking forward to going into.

I could have stopped myself.  I was here watching myself, and I decided almost impulsively to carry forward with the whole reaction sequence that activated.  Like, I had no real internal dialog about whether I should react, or breathe.  I just allowed myself to react.  Why did I do this? 

So, yes, I am writing about that one moment, that moment where I made the decision in a split second to go into reactions – where I could have remained here and breathed, yet I did not. 

Perhaps also, it’s because I had all this fear energy building up and that reacting was a way to release this energy.  Perhaps I was already reacting the whole time, before I made the decision to go into the reaction / personality, and then it became too much and at some point, I let it all out.  So, like, I became overwhelmed by the title-wave of emotions and fears that were already rolling through by the time I was able to really see myself for what I was doing – and in that moment, I surrendered to the forces within the belief that it was too much for me to stop and then I just went into the energy of the tidal wave even more and lost myself within it until the energy wore down.

So, why did I make the title of this post ‘Don’t Tread On Me”?  Well, I don’t really know exactly.  These words were just in my head at the time of yesterday’s post, and it too was a bit of an impulse to make this the title.  Yet, that was also based on a feeling / energy that I had at the time of the reaction.  I was like defending ‘what’s mine’ within my anger towards this customer.  Like, I perceived this customer, to be infringing on me to a certain extent.  Like, he is going to cost me money because of his problem with his picky-ness and lack of consideration for the bigger picture; and as a result, I am the victim where I loose what I have a ‘right to’, which is the money earned from the job, which pays for my way of life, and the things I need.  So, it’s like me against him in a way, where he is using his bullshit to have his way, which affects me, and thus I am standing up and saying ‘back-off fucker!’  Yet, I am really not standing up to him, I am just doing this without his awareness / without expressing this to him.  When I actually see this guy it is all smiles and yes sir, ‘I will get that re-ordered for you.’  So, this makes me feel better and makes me feel like I am standing up for myself when really, I am just reacting and becoming emotional.

So, I will pick up again on my next post.
