Understanding The Inner Mechanism Of Anger
If we think, speak and act in an angry way, we leave an impression or memory of
anger within our own consciousness which results in sanskara of anger to be born.
Within the sanskara is the recorded emotion and experience of our expression towards
the object of our anger. The object is a particular person or situation. If we encounter
the object of our anger the next day, it will trigger the emergence the recorded
anger from within the sanskara. We then deepen the sanskara as we express more anger,
even if we only 'think' anger. The emergence of this emotional energy from within
our consciousness then stops us from interacting in a positive way. It clouds our
mind and confuses our intellect, weakening and distorting our thoughts, decisions
and behaviour. This often explains why we find it harder to connect and communicate
with certain people in our life. Essentially we are carrying a negative image of
the other person within our sanskara from a previous interaction with them. And
when we see them again it emerges the energy within the sanskara, which then influences
our ability to respond to them.

Message for the day 21-07-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
True detachment is to be a master of all things that we use.
Projection: Detachment is usually mistaken as being away from things because
usually while using the facilities available we tend to get dependent on them. Such
dependency is troublesome and so we sometimes give up using these facilities thinking
that this is detachment which helps us to be free from their control.
Solution: The solution lies in mentally detaching ourselves from the facilities
we are using. That means we use them but we are not dependent on them. For this
we need to remind ourselves that we are the creator and whatever facilities are
available to us are the creation. This enables us to develop mastery and control
over everything.
