Some Points on Anger I (53)

Introduction

The following three posts are a list of some salient points on the very human characteristic of anger, or in Gnostic terms the ‘I’ of Anger.

These points if considered carefully will help you to better understand how anger works in the human being. And understanding always brings a change in us, a change in our perception and what is the most important of all a change in our actions.

So I end this introduction, wishing the best in your studies of anger and may these 32 points provide you with light on anger so that you can become free of it.

Point 1

Anger is the protector of the structure of the ego (it never comes alone).

Point 2

It is impossible to get angry without words and thoughts (we can’t get angry without thoughts, words and concepts).

Point 3

It is principally the use of force to remove an obstacle.

Point 4

Anger always has a goal or an objective.

Point 5

Desire is present in every manifestation of anger (anger is an effect ego, the ego behind the anger is the cause ego, which is some sort of desire).

Point 6

The stronger the ego behind anger the stronger the anger will be.

Point 7

There is no anger without a sense of loss, harm, damage, disadvantage, injustice, breach of safety etc.

Point 8

Anger comes when the essence or consciousness in us perceives a void or a lack of force.

Point 9

Anger is a lack of conviction (it lacks reason or truth, it uses force as a reason, and lacks the force of reason).

Point 10

Anger is the conditioned use of force that becomes violence. The force in anger is conditioned by relativity and duality. As anger is the force used to remove obstacles and as it is conditioned force, it uses force against others or sometimes ourselves to remove that obstacle. Our essence uses force but in an intelligent way that does not harm ourselves and others.
