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
