Fun to watch Curtis (and Edg, but to a lesser extent because he isn't immediately involved) stand on his head to avoid seeing what's actually going on here, exercising his creative powers to the utmost to come up with an alternate story line that will allow him to feel less bad about himself.
Two hints: (1) Not looking for a guru in Curtis; and (2) anger *per se* isn't the problem. It's the Hulk- like transformation the anger triggers that's the problem. Or maybe Jekyll/Hyde is a better analogy. At any rate, Curtis might find it of benefit to do some reading/thinking about Jung's recommendation to acknowledge and ultimately accept one's Shadow side. If you can make friends with your Shadow, you're a lot more likely to get it to work with you rather than against you. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" <curtisdeltablues@...> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Duveyoung <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > Curtis, > > > > Have you considered that Judy is like Guru Dev when he was looking for a > > guru?
