Happy day!!

"... my theory is that every man is given at the outset of life a Beast in the finest, noblest sense with whom through life he has got to settle. ... Now it's according to his dealings with the Beast that the man's great or not."  -- Hugh Walpole

Within each of us is an animal nature. How we express it, as the quote says, determines our success or failure, and our happiness or sadness. Learning about this inner nature is the first step toward greatness.

In joy,
Patty

The Nature of the Beast: Taming the Tiger Within
 

"My Tiger is what every man has within him—I don't mean, you know, a nasty habit or a degrading passion or anything of necessity vicious—only my theory is that every man is given at the outset of life a Beast in the finest, noblest sense with whom through life he has got to settle. It may be an Ambition, or a Passion, or a Temptation, or a Virtue, what you will, but with that Beast he's got to live. Now it's according to his dealings with the Beast that the man's great or not.

If he faces the Beast—and the Beast is generally something that a man knows about himself that nobody else knows—the Beast can be used, magnificently used. If he's afraid, pretends the Tiger isn't there, builds up walls, hides in cities, does what you will, then he must be prepared for a life of incessant alarm, and he may be sure that at some moment or another the Tiger will make his spring—then there'll be a crisis!"        -- Hugh Walpole

There are two types of authority: the authority of the animal nature which competes, conquers, controls, and kills, and the authority of the adult status of mind which is confident, courageous, cooperative, and compassionate.
 
We can see today aggression being expressed in so many ways, from overt violence to subtle displays such as pride, greed, and selfishness. It is clear that most people are still identified with and living from the animal nature, the beast within. We see this in our own lives, and in the world around us.
 
We are meant to experience partnership, harmony, and cooperation in our human relationships and in the world as a whole, but our animal instincts create adversarial situations that interfere with our ability to do that, causing ineffective communication and disempowering connections. Few are aware that the driving force behind all of our troubles today is our primitive animal nature as it empowers distorted unconscious patterns. If we want the world to change, we must gain authority of mind to tame and then domesticate the wild beast within.
 
In this workshop, you will discover the role the animal nature plays in our lives and ways to work toward harmony and cooperation within yourself and with others, while pursuing intentional growth for yourself.
  • Learn the origins of the animal nature, how it works, and how it has affected humanity since the beginning of time
  • Find out how the animal nature is negatively impacting the world at large
  • Explore ways to keep emotional reactivity from causing pain in your relationships at work and at home, as well as in your experience of the world around you
  • Understand the natural, instinctual differences in masculine and feminine energies so you can create partnership instead of conflict
  • Find out how relationships can be the path to detachment and self-certainty

It's your life!
Make the best of it!

This class was a spiritual journey like I had never experienced before.

I already had a concept of God aligned with my Protestant upbringing. Thanks to Patty, I came to experience a much deeper meaning of spirituality and how truly connected I am with my Higher Power, myself and those around me. It did not take away the God of my religion, it expanded my relationship with Him, with myself and with humanity in a wonderful way.

From a 12-Step perspective, it helped me to recognize my Higher Power in ways that have helped me curb the compulsive behaviors that have been detouring me from true sobriety.”
