“Does a bear have hair?” you ask as a way of saying, “Is that not quite obvious?  The obvious is not always that which is most visible to you.  Those aspects of the self which are known as the higher self are as obvious to you as the hair on the head.  Sometimes, however, you become so caught up in your roles that you ignore your innate loving kindness, compassion for others, and sense of fairness.  This is when you may growl like a bear, lash out with your claws, and at times even bite.  It is at these times that such behavior is so opposite to your true nature that you recognize your hairy nature.  Yes, the soul has built in safeguards to keep you from letting your lower nature run amok.  Be aware. 

You are so very loved.
