Anger Inherent in Many Egos - (1434)

Introduction

Anger certainly exists by itself as an ego in its own right. Even though it exists by itself it works always in conjunction with other egos such as pride, fear, self-love, self-compassion, lust, laziness etc.

What is interesting is that within some of the egos that anger works with, there is some anger. This is because the qualities of the essence that are trapped in these egos such as pride, fear, self-love, lust etc. contain some force.

Force in Pride

Pride being conditioned dignity, majesty and balance of our essence, certainly there is force inherent in each of these qualities. In love there is force, the force of love is tremendous, which is what the egos of self-love and lust trap or condition. There is also force in trust, which is the quality of the essence that being conditioned becomes fear.

Can be Confusing

I wrote this post because sometimes it gets confusing when working on pride and anger. The protest that pride has are always very forceful and strong and so one may think that this force is coming from anger. In most cases it does and it also comes from the force that within pride.

If we observe all the very pride people over the centuries such as Napoleon, Hitler, Margaret Thatcher, you will certainly see that they were forceful and had a very strong will. This is because there is force and will in pride, and of course they could have also used their amount of will and force that was not conditioned by the ego.

Conclusion

Basically we have to work the anger within the ego just as we work on anger itself. They both obey the same principle and can be dissolved using the same methods or antidotes.
