6th international conference of exopolitics, history and spirituality

Dear readers, welcome to the ninth part of the series on the principles of happiness by Edgar Cayce. Today's topic is about something we cannot do without. It's good to be able to work with it and it happens quite often. It is not advisable to suppress this or leave free borders. We'll talk about anger. When writing the last part, I myself was drawn into a situation where my justified anger was fully manifested. I wrote the whole article, and when the on-screen editor asked me if I wanted to save it, I pressed no because I wanted to copy the whole one first. The article has disappeared. Suddenly he wasn't. Two seconds of silence, and then an incredible rage entered me: Three hours of work are irreversible. I don't move over time and the screen is blank. I shouted, "No !!!!" and threw the laptop on the bed. Fortunately, he landed on the soft. Then I took a breath ten times and boasted that I hadn't broken it.

And that's what today's article will be about, how we better or less manage to work with our expressions of anger. Thank you very much for all the nice letters from the past, I drew all of them again and the treatment with craniosacral biodynamics is won by Mrs. Tajmar. Congratulations. And here we go.

Principle No.9: Anger can serve a good purpose
In 1943, a XNUMX-year-old housewife from Berkeley asked E. Cayce for an explanation. She believed she would get answers to her questions, which are similar to those most people ask: Why do I have to go through so much disappointment and frustration? How can I improve my relationships? What is the meaning of my life?

Cayce began his interpretation by looking at her personality. He described her character and because he worked with astrological symbols, he also mentioned that Mars has a great influence on her. In other words, she had a tendency to be angry, which he called "Justified anger". This woman was interpreted for anger for several lives, either as a Frenchman in a crusade who soon discovered that the idea with which he wanted to spread the faith had vanished into an ocean of disappointment, or as a soldier in World War II. Both events caused the woman to meet with deep disappointment at her imagination and became very angry.

This anger was not buried in the Middle Ages, but has had an effect on it today. But she had the ability to get angry within boundaries that were healthy for everyone involved. Edgar called it that justified anger.

 What is anger?
It is one of the foundations of human temperament. Just as intellectual activity, love, quality of assertiveness, or creativity can be understood as part of ourselves. Spiritual growth we understand in terms of what we do with these parts, whether we can harmonize them and use them in a constructive way, not eliminate them.

Is Suppression of Anger a Desirable Goal? We all know what it's like to be upset. Even small children are already experiencing it. Maybe we can find a suitable place for our anger and continue to create the kind of future we want. Edgar Cayace tells the story of a farmer's wife who decided to apply the principle of love in her family relationships by not expressing her anger. As it happens, when a person decides to do something like that, challenges are knocking on the door. That day, my husband came home from work and walked across the washed floor in muddy shoes. Without any remark, the woman washed the floor again. Then her children came from school and, without a word of thanks, ate all the cookies she had baked that day. Even with this clumsy behavior, she came to terms with her promise. She experienced a similar situation throughout the day, and when she was finally asked for some more service, she stood in the middle of the room and shouted, “Look, I suffered all day in silence and no one even noticed! I've had enough now! ”

This story became a favorite story of the whole family in the following years. The husband and children learned decency, and the wife became convinced that anger was not something that could be removed with firm will. Will anger become an obstacle that stands in our way? Or will it become a stepping stone to further spiritual growth? Anger is the force to be counted on. Wrath is neither good nor bad. It should not be between us and the divine goal, it should become a tool of a great deal of creative energy.

The Greeks were aware of the significance of this annoying aspect of human nature. They used the term thumos, which relates to the part of our self that loves fighting conflict and victory. Plato thought thumos for the main quality of the warriors. When used for selfish purposes, it can be very destructive. But when it is under the control of our higher self, which the Greeks called it we, it will become a better means in our maturation for a better life both inside and around us.

When is it appropriate to get angry?
Each of us would remember an incident from childhood when we went too far and experienced the justified anger of our parents. Such incidents are not forgotten, and next time it was quite easy to avoid "crossing borders".

We can get into a situation where our inner feeling of anger wakes us up to be better. Whenever we feel anger inside, we have a lot of energy to make a change, to devote ourselves more to our work, to improve in something that we cannot do completely. We can be angry point in the right direction.

We can use it to change our shortcomings, self-deception and inattention. Let anger motivate us to do something - change things. First, let him change himself. Then to give us the impetus to change the world around us and create a better future. If we do not use anger in this way, it will become very destructive not only for ourselves but also for our entire society. It was in history that the "ideal of the warrior" was worshiped. The well-known legend of King Arthur and his retinue originated in those years. However, even in those years, some began to feel that war ethics was not in line with Christian ideals. Troubadours and poets began to realize the need to redirect this warlike energy inward to change their own character. This consciousness eventually manifested itself in the literature of the time as a legend of the conquest of the Holy Grail, which symbolized the highest spiritual ideals.

A warrior lives in each of us. Thumos, Mars, anger, it's all inside us. We are not able to eliminate this feature, so what do we do with it? Anger is like any other force. He has the power to destroy and the power to create. The way we use anger determines whether we use it to our advantage or harm us.

Exercises:
The aim of this exercise is to direct anger in a constructive direction.

  • When you begin to feel anger, due to a certain situation, try to make use of two opposing options: its suppression or immediate release.
  • Try to feel his strength instead, try to become what motivates you.
  • Let him stimulate you to change your own attitudes to this situation and then to change the situation itself.
  • In the end, do something about this situation, not in anger, but with the help of the energy that anger has produced.
