Wenn das Begehren nicht erfüllt wird, entsteht Frustration, und daraus Zorn. Zorn kann ein sehr mächtiger Antrieb sein und unter Umständen dabei helfen, einen Menschen auf die nächsthöheren BW-Ebenen zu katapultieren, sofern er konstruktiv genutzt wird. Oft äußert sich Wut und Zorn allerdings lediglich in zerstörerischem Verhalten und in der Einstellung Was ich nicht haben kann, sollen andere auch nicht haben. Zorn als dauerhaftes Lebensgefühl macht Menschen reizbar, nörglerisch, cholerisch und verbittert. Wer zornig ist, ist oft nicht in der Lage, seine Bedürfnisse auf konstruktive Weise zu formulieren. Der Schritt aus Scham, Schuldgefühl oder Apathie in den Wutbereich ist ein enormer Fortschritt und fühlt sich für die Betroffenen sehr gut und machtvoll an, so wie sich grundsätzlich jede BW-Ebene im Vergleich zu den darunter liegenden Ebenen gut anfühlt.

 

Viele Menschen schaffen den Sprung von Angst zu Zorn, wenn ihnen das Wenige genommen wird, das sie noch hatten. Angst haben kann nur, wer etwas zu verlieren hat, und sei dieses Etwas noch so gering; geht es verloren, so gibt es einerseits Menschen, die weiter absinken in Apathie und Hoffnungslosigkeit und andererseits können Menschen, die nichts mehr zu verlieren haben, ihre Angst überwinden und im Zorn beachtliche Energien mobilisieren. Revolutionen begannen des Öfteren durch Frauen, die daheim nicht einmal mehr das Nötigste hatten, um ihre Kinder zu ernähren, und die dann vor die Paläste der Reichen zogen, die in großem Luxus lebten, um Brot zu fordern.

1.1   Zitate von D. Hawkins

 

  • Ärger wird vom Ego als Ersatz für Mut benutzt, der natürlich erfordert, dass jemand entschlossen, geradlinig und seinen Verpflichtungen folgend lebt. Das Ego pustet sich durch Ärger auf wie ein primitives Tier und versucht unbewusst, stark und großartig zu erscheinen. Erleuchtung ist möglich, S. 153

 

1.2   Zitate (engl.) von D. Hawkins

  • There is no such thing as justified resentment. Unknown

 

  • Although Anger can lead to homicide and war, as an energy level it's much further removed from death than those below it. Anger can lead to either CONstructive or DEstructive action. As people move out of Apathy and Grief to overcome Fear as a way of life, they begin to want; Desire leads to frustration, which in turn leads to Anger. Thus Anger can be a fulcrum by which the oppressed are eventually catapulted to freedom. Fury over social injustice, victimization, and inequality has created great movements that led to major changes in the structure of society. But Anger expresses itself most often as resentment and revenge, and is, therefore, volatile and dangerous. Anger as a lifestyle is exemplified by irritable, explosive people who are oversensitive to slights and become "injustice collectors", quarrelsome, belligerent or litigious. Power vs. Force, chapter IV

 

  • Question: What can you do when you get angry about another person?
    Answer: Ask God to forgive you for being angry. Ask God to show you the innocence of that person. Sedona Seminar Practical Spirituality, 25. October 2008

 

 

  • A variety of the lifestyle is seen in the clinical expression as the 'explosive personality disorder', as well as 'borderline personality disorder', where rages can be triggered by seeming trivialities. Transcending The Levels of Consciousness, chapter 7 'Anger', S. 139

 

 

  • Let go resisting the anger coming up in you. If you do, you will see it and see what it’s about. You are angry for a reason. You will start to see it. Just let it come up and you will see what it’s about. The more you let go resisting it, the more it will come up. Then you will run it out eventually. It’s not limitless. It has to be fed all the time and something is feeding it. Maybe you feel you are being blamed about something. There is probably some karmic propensity there. Maybe you are angry about being back here on Earth again and are angry at God. You are probably scared to be angry at God! We don’t want to see that consciously.  Sedona Seminar God vs. Science, 17. February 2007

 

  • [...] to disassemble anger may require the willingness to surrender the pride that underlies that anger, which in turn depends on surrendering a desire. This means surrendering the fear that energized the desire, which in turn depends on surrendering a desire. This means surrendering the fear that energized the desire, which again is related to the undoing of imaginary loss, and so forth. Motivations are thus intertwined and mutually interactive, and operationally surrendering them leads to the next levels, which are comprised of dualities. The deeper layers, therefore, tend to surface one’s beliefs about God, programmed spiritual expectations, and belief systems. Spiritual work is therefore a matter of exploration that transcends mentalized concepts, such as those of cause and effect. Discovery of the Presence of God, S. 64

 

Paraphrased

  • Righteous anger and indignation are moralistic inflations of positionalities and expectations of others. I, Reality and Subjectivity, chapter 12, S. 197

 

1.3   Zitate von anderen Quellen

  • Das Gewahrwerden – die bewusste Wahrnehmung – ist ein wenig wie Magie; es ist die Alchemie, die die niederen Metalle in Gold verwandelt.
    Wenn du wütend bist, so verdränge deinen Zorn nicht; versuche ihn einfach wahrzunehmen. Ich bin wütend, ich bin wütend, ich bin jetzt die Wut. Das Wunderbare daran ist, dass Wut und Gewahrsein nicht gleichzeitig existieren können. Die Wut verschwindet. Denn nur wo Unbewusstheit herrscht, kann es Wut geben; das gilt auch für die Mordlust. Es hat sich in den letzten Jahrtausenden gezeigt, dass es nicht viel nützt, den Leuten das Morden abgewöhnen zu wollen, indem man ihnen die zehn Gebote predigt. Moses hätte seinem Volk lieber Methoden der bewussten Wahrnehmung beibringen sollen, um zu erreichen, dass sie mit dem Töten aufhören. Günter Nitschke, The Silent Orgasm. Liebe als Sprungbrett zur Selbsterkenntnis, S. 53, Taschen Verlag, Köln, 1995

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place (opportunity) to the devil. Ephes. 4, 26 (NT)

 

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. Ecclesiastes 7, 9 (NT)

 

  • [...] most research now says that catharsis – "letting it all out" – isn't helpful and, in fact, may increase a person's hostility, according to a 1999 study by psychologist Brad Bushman, PhD, and colleagues, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (Vol. 76, No. 3).

Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor has recovered miraculously from a rare stroke after eight years. She who has become more compassionate than in her first life shares on the "90 Seconds Rule" and the physiological wiring of anger. Being angry is a loop, a circuitry inside the brain, restimulated by one's angry thoughts.

  • It takes 90 seconds for any emotion to come into your body, flush through your body and surge out of your body. Any emotion.
    If you feel yourself becoming angry I encourage people to 'Don't get hooked up in your anger, but feel the anger in your body, and then look at your watch, and then recognize that after 90 seconds it is totally gone from your body. And yet if you stay angry for longer than 90 seconds it is because you have consciously chosen to think the thoughts that bring you back into running the anger loop.

    [...] I call it the 90 Seconds Rule. People are always shocked on it. It's absolutely amazing. [...] And actually it works. [...]
    You are biologically designed to experience the moment, experience a thought, experience an emotion. Surge it through your body for 90 seconds, have your reactivity, and then move on to something else, come back to the present moment.

  • Sadly, there is an enormous amount of angry men. [...] Women always want to know what male anger is about. I can tell you that when a man explodes with his partner in a relationship it's almost never about her or anything she ever said. Men get triggered. Their old stuff [...] literally stuffed down in their psyches, for 10, 20, 30, even 40 years. They stuff that pain, instead of dealing with it, because that's how they grow up thinking they were supposed to deal with it. Every time somebody says something that remotely triggers it they explode. I had a terrible temper. [...] none of us are particularly angry men anymore. audio interview with Dave Talamo, founder of men's circles Wilderness Reflections, presented by Coaching the Life Coach, Episode 8, Personallifemedia.com, host Jason McClain, excerpts minute 24:27+

 

  • It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence. Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

 

  • Anybody can become angry – that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not within everybody's power and is not easy. Aristoteles

 

  • Anger is a necessary part of the dance of love. Think of clean anger as the voice of the wise serpent on the early American flag who says, "Don't tread on me."
    Without anger we have no fire, no thunder and lightning to defend the sanctuary of the self.
    No anger = no boundaries = no passion. Sam Keen, professor for religion and philosophy, presented by SamKeen.com

 

  • Honor your anger. But before you express it, sort out the righteous from the unrighteous. Immediately after a storm, the water is muddy; rage is indiscriminate. It takes time to discriminate, for the mud to settle.
    But once the stream runs clear, express your outrage against any who have violated your being. Give the person you intend to love the gift of discriminating anger. Sam Keen, professor for religion and philosophy, presented by SamKeen.com

2.1   Overcoming Anger

President Abraham Lincoln who struggled with his depression held together the opposites of darkness and light in his own psyche as well as his country at his time.
At a special prayer day he had asked the troops of the north to pray also for the south troops. To his critics who felt that this is undermining the moral of the troops he said:
"We need to be able to remain human even though we are fighting this war."

 

There was one of Lincoln's very rare outbursts of anger in 'Soldiers Home', a cottage in the country on a high hill, where Lincoln ruminated on emancipation proclamations and more.
An officer came to him in need as his wife had drowned in a ferry boat in the Potomac river. Lincoln reacted infuriated due to the disturbance:

"Why do you bring that up to me?
Go have someone else in the White House deal with it!"

 

Following night Lincoln could not sleep all night. He sat up that night and recognized his mistake. The next morning he took care to find the hotel where the officer stayed in. He knocked at the door and apologized to the man assuring him:

"We will find your wife!"

    Aggression occurs among virtually all vertebrates and is necessary to get and keep important resources such as mates, territory and food. We have found that the 'reward pathway' in the brain becomes engaged in response to an aggressive event and that dopamine is involved.
