Over the last 15 years, thousands of people have been helped to overcome
addictions of every kind through the Kabbalah. What was learned is that
one of the most dangerous of them all is one that you wouldn’t normally
categorize as an addiction. It is anger.
Yes, anger. An addiction means allowing yourself to be controlled by something
outside of yourself, be it drugs, gambling, sex, shopping, you name it. The
sages teach us that when you become angry and enraged, you are disconnecting
from the Lightforce and permitting a negative spirit to enter you. Every time
you give into this force you are behaving like an addict.
When you are spiritually disconnected from the Lightforce in this manner, you
allow the negative force to feed you a shot of intense energy not unlike a high
from a drug. Have you ever been exhausted and ready for sleep when suddenly
something makes you really angry? Are you able to go to sleep right away? No.
What happens is you draw such a huge amount of energy, and in that moment you
have the power to do anything. Let’s face it, it feels good to throw a tantrum,
to verbally rip into someone, to break some dishes. But this is immediate
gratification. Kabbalah teaches you to get more out of life than temporary satisfaction.
Knowing this intellectually, however, is not enough to stop the force of negativity
from entering your consciousness. As anger is a powerful force, the only way to stop
it is to fight it with something far more powerful. Love.
Some people recommend releasing your anger, as one would release the valve on
a steam pipe. ‘Let it out’, they say. Good advice. Take a deep breath. Go for
a walk. This saves the people around you from your negativity, but what about
you? What do you do with that poison sitting in the pit of your stomach,
gnawing away at you?
After you restrict, you need to ask yourself why this situation is in your movie.
It is a spiritual truth that the things that irritate and annoy you in others
point you towards what you need to correct in yourself.
The final step to dissolving the anger is to inject forgiveness into the situation.
When you disconnect from the Light, the bridge back is forgiveness. Forgiveness
creates an affinity with the Light, which is all-loving. Only when you create an
opening for love to enter the picture will you be able to destroy the anger and
the trigger that caused it.
This isn’t easy. People do some pretty horrible things and you might feel
justified in your anger. But you need to remember a basic rule of Kabbalah – cause
and effect. The seed of what brought about the situation is never readily visible
and by injecting forgiveness into the situation, you are releasing the control the
anger has over you. With the anger no longer obscuring your vision, you will be
able to discover the true cause of the anger.
Kabbalists have been successfully using this technique for thousands of years and
it will work for you too. But don’t expect it to work the first time around.
Each instance of dealing with anger in a proactive manner will make it easier
the next time around. After enough practice, you will be able to break this
addiction no matter how tempting it may be.
And no matter who the person or situation is, you must remember that you are
always capable of controlling the thoughts in your head. Your mind will tell
you that this person is beyond redemption, that they are just plain bad. Don’t
listen. Even if they are truly bad, your forgiveness will go a lot further in
helping them than your hate.
Now, one final point. The Zohar, the fundamental text of Kabbalah, mentions
the Anger of the Sages, which is described as a positive anger. What the
Zohar is teaching us is that there are times when we must take a stand,
and our anger is actually passion for defending what is right. Of course,
this is a confusing area, because if misunderstood, this could easily be
used to justify your hatred, as you see happening in the Middle East.
The litmus test for knowing whether your anger is ‘of the Sages’ or from
your ego is to ask yourself, ‘is this anger pushing me to a level to do
more things, to reveal more light – or is it causing me to destroy?’
And if it is Anger of the Sages, you still must remember that there is no
stronger weapon than love. So goes the expression, ‘love conquers all.’
