|
This is a little paper on improving one's life and one's self through the
|
|
constructive use of rage. By rage, I essentially mean anger. Undirected
|
|
anger is what I really focus on, and will refer to it as rage. Rage is
|
|
therefore undirected anger. This is when you are just mad at the world.
|
|
This is the "I'm gonna punch the next person I see right in the bread basket"
|
|
or "I hate the whole world". Directed anger, or just anger, is the "Oooh,
|
|
she just pisses me off" or "#$!%?, you just wrecked my favourite car". These
|
|
two are essentially the same, but that will be addressed later. Also
|
|
important are the qabalistic ideas of form and force.
|
|
|
|
A force is just that. It is raw energy. Easy examples are gravity and
|
|
and magnetism. Some others are physical force, love, and desire. If you
|
|
push on something, you are supplying it energy to move. If you are in love,
|
|
you are infused with energy to take actions you wouldn't normally do. The
|
|
same thing with desire. Note there is no distinction between 'physical' and
|
|
'spiritual' forces. This is key to magic and Qabalah, but isn't important
|
|
here. The important idea is that force is energy.
|
|
|
|
Form is the idea of constraint. Form surrounds us and keeps our world
|
|
from being just raw energy. When you burn gas in your car, the piston
|
|
directs that energy into motion you can use. When you pour water in a bowl,
|
|
the bowl provides a form for the water to shape to. When you are in love,
|
|
you still have your sanity (usually) because you execute forms over your
|
|
desire. Those form are... well... plots and plans and stuff. You take that
|
|
love and desire, and with is constrain it to buying flowers, remembering
|
|
birthdays, and planning romantic time to spend together. You are able to
|
|
apply form over forces because of consciousness. Consciousness is the final
|
|
part of the world, which I have yet to fully explore. This means the three
|
|
elements that are combined to make the rest of the universe are form, force,
|
|
and consciousness.
|
|
|
|
The point of all this is that Anger is mostly force, but partly form.
|
|
Rage is almost totally force, with very little form. Just as consciousness
|
|
allows us to apply form to force, I have found it allows us to remove form
|
|
from force. If you are angry at someone, often that Anger changes form
|
|
without our knowledge, so we snap at the next person that talks to us. "But
|
|
you're not mad at me, why are you snapping at me?" Right there you have
|
|
changed the form of a force with out thought. Wasn't that easy?!
|
|
|
|
Now then, one step further is the conversion of Anger into Rage. If you
|
|
Ever get angry, the first step is to blame it on the entire universe, or at
|
|
least some abstract concept. Whatever justification you use, it still works
|
|
the same. Astrology tells us the stars affect your life. Society has a
|
|
large part of screwing up your life. Greed has brought down many people.
|
|
Some feel Adam screwed us all by committing the original sin. Some say it was
|
|
Eve. You could just be safe and blame satan. All of these however are
|
|
merely abstract concepts. Two ways to blame the world are through chaos
|
|
theory and qabbalah (or at least my current version).
|
|
|
|
Chaos theory holds that every part of the universe affects every other
|
|
part. There are millions of butterflies. If they all flap their wings at
|
|
the same time, they could change weather patterns, and they do. Driving in
|
|
cars has some affect on the revolution of the earth. Skyscrapers as well.
|
|
This change may seen tiny, but will eventually affect us, and may send us
|
|
hurtling into the sun one day. The point is everything affects everything
|
|
else.
|
|
|
|
Qabblah holds that the entire universe and everything in it can be
|
|
explained and understood by understanding the tree of life. It serves as a
|
|
pattern, in which anything and everything fits. This means that every action
|
|
of one thing is mirrored by others that fit into the same place on the tree.
|
|
Although I do not fully understand this pattern, it does exist. It also
|
|
interconnects the entire universe.
|
|
|
|
Whatever justification you use, you want Anger to become Rage. Once this
|
|
is done, move on to the next step. Release the form of Rage. This is not
|
|
forget it. This is not bury it. This is not hide it. Nor is it release it
|
|
in a long scream. It is release the form of Rage, leaving only raw force.
|
|
Once this form is released, you should feel blank. On this note, it may help
|
|
to do something that makes you feel blank when trying to do this like writing
|
|
your name a million times or doing random problems from and Algebra book.
|
|
This force will release itself later when you need it. I have not yet
|
|
learned to control this release, but will no doubt tell you if I do. The
|
|
point is it will probably release itself when you are happy, making you more
|
|
happy. Actually now that I think about it, it releases itself when you let
|
|
go to yourself. Go to a party and you'll have the time of your life. Get
|
|
angry and you'll go beserk, but feel good afterwards. Get sad and you'll
|
|
have a temporary nervous breakdown, and feel great afterwards. Or simply
|
|
hang your tongue out, and release it into wackiness. Sounds strange, but it
|
|
works... for just that reason.
|
|
|
|
For advanced students, try turning sadness or shame into Anger. Through
|
|
this method you can turn any negative emotion into raw force.
|
|
|
|
The problem with this method is that if you are inactive, and do nothing
|
|
to expel you force, it can become unbalancing and overwhelming. Another
|
|
problem is you end up walking around with a lot of Rage that hasn't been
|
|
digested into force. This is especially true in the early stages. As a
|
|
partial remedy, I suggest wearing leather collars, bracelets, and combat
|
|
boots. These, but their very nature, radiate Rage. This radiated Rage
|
|
serves well to help keep your force at tolerable levels.
|
|
|
|
As with anything, you have to come up with you own system. These are
|
|
only my suggestions, and I hope they are helpful.
|
|
|
|
Good Luck.
