Are You Angry Enough?

“Oh! I shouldn’t be angry, I’m a Buddhist!”
That is correct for the lower vehicles, and incorrect for the higher vehicles.
The quality of emotion reveals the quality of wisdom.

Do not read on if you want a cosy life

(but if you get to the end, you may understand the value of emotions.)

As seekers of truth, we should be angry at suffering.

The world is in its darkest hour and could get darker; much darker. We are easily tricked! These are tribal, medieval dark ages, driven by technology, and nothing is learnt from the past…or is it? From the point of view of control, much is learned.

There are wars, killing, cultural divides and breakdown due to open borders; corporations and governments manipulate public opinion (the only time they are not lying is when their lips are not moving); food industries are allowed to put toxic chemicals into food; pharmaceuticals profit from suffering arising from the actions of the food companies and health ‘experts’; video games churn out violence, preparing people for zero empathy; loss of skilled careers creates low self worth; religion is polluted with soporific ‘sweeteners’; education has become left brain orientated, lacking creative thinking; councils make money by tricking people with speeding and parking fines in the name of safety; high streets are dying because of tax-avoiding corporations; the sense of family and friendship has broken down…

We are all consenting and conforming to the old boy network of self-serving controlling agenda.

Are you angry yet?!

Worse still is that all of this is having a traumatising effect on children – the next generation – which is the pathway to middle-aged depression. In our youth, we were affected by the confusion between right and wrong, and left it to the politicians to tell us who the enemy was, when in fact, they act not for the people, but to further their own politic agenda; as a result of this, we are the enemy. We then traumatise our own children with entertainment, sugars, neglect, TV, processed food and lack of discipline. Political correctness puts doubt in our minds, banishing common sense and creating fear.

This was all predicted in the Mahabarata.

Are you angry yet?!

We have been cheated, scammed, lied to, made too speedy, made too dozy, kept busy and taxed to pay for killing ‘the enemy’ in manipulated, corporate wars. We have been divided to hate and

fear those who are brothers and sisters in our spiritual family.

Are you angry yet?!

You are here on Earth to realise your true nature, and not to feed ignorance and indifference.

If you’re not angry, then you are not ready for higher spirituality. You have little empathy or compassion for others. You give money when you’re told to. You sit on your meditation nest to feel good. But remember…you may return to earth as a human in the next incarnation and have to face the consequences of this indifference.

Are you angry now?!

If there is no strength in our passion, then everything becomes subdued into tones of grey. The opposite emotion – wisdom – will also be feeble, lacking vibrant wisdom. In order to develop love, we need to experience anger and hatred – but not act them out! Love can only happen in those conditions. Smiling at one another could be recognition, or it could be fear.

When the negative poisons are strong, this gives the impetus and energy to work in a positive way to counter them.

In these terrible, turbulent times of strong desires, the emotions are alive and in your face, blasting reality at you. A delicious energy arises from them, not to destroy but to illuminate. Experiencing these strong emotions is the fastest route towards enlightenment. Playing with fire can keep you warm or burn you: it’s your choice.

It is said that the stronger the passion, the more effective the Vajrayana teachings.

If you choose to live in the god realm, progress is very slow – and may even put you in reverse!

If you let others pull the wool over your eyes

…you let them!

Are you angry?
I am!
