Rejecting the urge
            If  you  find  it  difficult  to  reject  in  the  sense  of  throwing
        away, what you have to do is to refuse assent. As for instance,
        as regards voices or suggestions, not to listen to them, not to
        believe what they want  you to believe, not to do what they
        want or push you to do.
                                     *
        Anger comes from the vital nature or if it has been driven out
        from there rises back into it from the subconscient or from the
        environmental Nature.
                                     *
        It [rejection] is the way to get rid of these things [anger and sex
        desire] — when rejected they either sink into the subconscient or
        pass out into the surrounding (environmental) consciousness
        through which one is connected with the universal forces. They
        may try to rise up from the subconscient or come in again from
        outside; but if one always rejects them, calling in the aid of the
        Mother and does not allow them to take hold, their force of re-
        currence dies away and finally they come no more. Sometimes
        a very decisive rejection gets rid of them at a stroke once for all.
                                     *
        These things [anger, desire etc.] can only be got rid of if you do
        not accept them. When they come, you must stand back from
        them in your mind, look at them and say, "I don't want this." If
        it comes in spite of your not wanting and refusing them, then
        it shows it is not your own movement, but something thrown
        upon you by the outside Nature. If you can once see that and feel
        them as not yours, then by degrees you can get free of anger,
        desire and other things that trouble you.
                                     *
        Psychic being and Righteous anger
            It is not at all unnatural that the anger brought back peace
        and harmony: for this anger was a form of loyalty to the Divine
