Anger.

If life isn’t how we want it, we get frustrated and angry.

There are two aspects here. One is that our fixed picture is being disturbed. The other is that we recognise that our fixed picture isn’t right, and so we get angry.

Our picture is our obscured view. Here we have a problem with a clear essence seeing through the fog of mind – our concepts. The clear light is our pure view, which is translated by our afflicted mind, producing a projection.

If essence gets bound up in the projections of the mind, and comes into contact with another’s projections, we may get angry. This is logical!

The antidote to this fixed projection, this view, is recognising the presence of mirror-like wisdom of essence. Essence merely reflects, and does not get involved. It is mind that causes confusion about the whole affair.

This mirror-like wisdom of essence reflects exactly whatever appears. It is one of the five qualities of our true nature.

The object of mirror-like wisdom is to remind us that all reflections are merely temporary appearances.

The reality is the mirror, merely reflecting. The reflections are temporary appearances.

Anger is recognition of a distraction, a bright distraction. Anger illuminates the mind for an instant. This sharp brilliance is wisdom, which can either create more suffering or realise/ remember pure awareness.

Anger can either run amuck, or express love.

Increase the problem, or restore balance.
