I also dislike the idea that one must get over the anger to start healing. I'd say anger is a part of healing and very relevant and justified in many cases. What I have learned is to deal with that anger in that it doesn't have a hold on me anymore.

I am not sure that what ray was saying was for people not to be angry but more as an encouragement to find that peaceful stage. However, just desiring peace doesn't make it a reality. This suggests that there are more complex issues influencing the outcome.
