Anger, Our Great Adversary

My spiritual teacher once showed me several pictures taken of various individuals using Kurlian photography. I was amazed to see not only the fascinating colors and combinations thereof, but also shocked to see the energy patterns that surrounded an angry person. The shapes were those of pointed daggers shooting out from around that person in all and every direction. Observing my reaction, my teacher, a dear sweet lady, wise and angelic, said to me, "Do you see why it is detrimental to anyone to hold on to anger, even if he feels it is justified? Just look at the tremendous amounts of negative energy that's being expelled outwardly."

I thought about this for a moment and realized that if so much energy was being expelled, then it must surely mean that now that person would be experiencing a great loss of energy to his own body. Would that not be detrimental to that person's health?, I asked. My teacher replied, "and to the person on the receiving end, also!" She further explained that certain vital organs in our bodies were directly affected by our different emotions, cautioning that sustained emotions like anger could cause life threatening disease to the corresponding organ.

Recently, listening to a lecture in Montreal, Canada, the teacher made a remark that was even more shocking. She said, "Anger kills cats." For those of us who love our pets so dearly, beware, for I've actually witnessed this type of scenario. It had been eighteen years before since I had seen those pictures, but the words of this teacher brought back vivid memories of the ugly and most disturbing auric field of one very angry man.

Interestingly, my spiritual teacher's auric field was absolutely gorgeous, extending very far outward, but especially so over her head, in stark contrast to that of an envious woman that had the color of a dirty green, while the photograph of an oversexed man was the dirtiest, dullest red ever! I remember a massage therapist/energetic healer once saying to me that the body doesn't lie. I will add to that that the aura doesn't lie either!

Taking this on another broader level, just think of the millions of angry people who inhabit our globe, in addition to the countless others (including some of us) who get angry ever so often or even once in a while--what potent, destructive energy this is for humanity, for the earth, for the animals, plants, the mineral kingdom.... Are we not even upsetting the Earth's energetic fields as we collectively send these powerful, negative energy blasts?

Worse off than those who are the recipients of the negative energy of anger are the ones who are delivering it. How so? Because "Anger, like acid, destroys more the vessel that contains it than that upon which it is poured."
