Once upon a time there were social engineers who thought the cause of all wars and conflicts in the world was aggression.
So they pursued to create a more soft, gentle and peace-loving human.
According to books like “Acid Dreams” and “Weird Scenes Inside Laurel Canyon”, the 1960s hippie-movement didn’t arise organically, it was set up and promoted by the CIA and U.S. Military (yes, the same people hippies protested against). The movement revolved around gentle music, sexual liberation, anti-war, peace and love, men growing long hair, exploring consciousness with psychedelic drugs and no longer eating meat. The era produced some of the best music humans have ever made.
But in the long run, the great softening, especially of men, made them less individualistic, less strong-willed, more docile. This radical feat of social engineering is easy to see if you compare movies from the 50s and 60s with movies today. Or the wild and rebellious kids from bygone days to the submissive ones today.
The peace and love movement was diverted to a dystopian one where psychedelics were gradually replaced with pharmaceuticals, toxic foods and negative entertainment mind-control.
I consider myself an example of strong-will and aggression while being peaceful. Due to the propaganda, most people can’t compute being aggressive and peaceful at the same time, so let me explain.
So-called “aggression” is the intensified version of willpower. It is life force itself. It is your FIRE. 🔥
The social engineers wanted you docile and asleep because it’s easier to manage, control and steer men and women without will. The world was going to become 100% hive-minded if it weren’t for the social engineers overplaying their hand during the Covid years.
Strong-willed people can seem annoying. When women show strong-will we call them “Karen”, “Bossy”, “Bitch”. But it only becomes annoying if it’s suppressed. Then the aggression is exaggerated to compensate for the suppression. When men are strong-willed we say they are “stubborn”, have “anger issues” or even speak of “toxic masculinity”.
But if you knew how to deal with your fire it would not manifest as anger but PASSION and people would be less annoyed.
When I play tennis I usually play leisurely, friendly. My nice-guy mode makes for a relaxed time, but it rarely wins me the game. Sometimes I switch to beast-mode and rev up some real anger. I clench my teeth and pretend I’m fed-up, livid. I feel my solar plexus heating up. I imagine violently, ruthlessly destroying the enemy. Countless times this internal shift made me turn the match. Opponents are puzzled. This is not the only or even best way to win – the better way is a higher state of consciousness – the flow state of relaxed concentration. But if you’ve fallen into complacency anger will get you out of it.
In my book Levels of Energy I taught that Anger is only “bad” if you’re above that level. But it’s good if you’re below it. What’s below anger? Shame, guilt, apathy (complacency) and fear. A society that forbids anger, forbids people ascending from shame, guilt, apathy and fear.
In addition to anger as a tool to get out of complacency, there is also righteous anger. This is when you feel a passion to go up against oppression, manipulation and injustice.
I have the capacity for violent aggression, but I’ve never hit anyone in my adult life. I follow my passion – research, writing, coaching, seminar-creating. The heat is channeled into creative works. People who are physically violent have suppressed their fire. They are not achieving, producing, creating anything and let their frustration out on weaker people.
It’s easy to drug violent people and to lock them away. And it’s easy to drug hyperactive kids and sit them in front of the TV. But this is not the best way. Drugs numb your will. Numbing the will leads to Depression. Yes, the drugs given to solve depression really lead to more depression (big pharma knows this and they don’t care because it makes them a lot of money – if this creates righteous anger in you, that’s a good thing).
Much more is achieved by redirecting aggression to something useful. Do something! Build something! If you have anger-issues it means you really want to make, construct, create.
“Peace through Strength” is a different peace than the one’s our social engineers tried. Some of you have never been bullied because bullies know you could destroy them if you wanted to. Your compassion stops you from using that destructive power. By that we see compassion and mercy are signs of real power and violence is usually a sign of powerlessness.
When anger comes up, realize that some of this can be good to get moving, get going. Instead of thinking “This isn’t good, I need to get rid of this”, re-frame it as fuel to achieve something, as a call to action.
