Why does Anger feel Good?

[Jade]

I'd say anger feels good because, of all of the emotions that we feel, it's usually one of the most pure. When we are angry, we always feel it is justified. I don't know if that's the same with most other emotions. Anger is validating. Anger opens the red ray. If we follow the "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate" Yodaism, fear would be the closing of the red ray, anger into hate being orange ray activation. So, especially if one is depressed, anger feels good, because it's an increase in energy.

Have you read Frederick Dodson's Levels of Energy, Van? It's a good one, and a quick read, and I think he speaks of this. Anger is higher on the scale vibrationally than say, apathy, grief, guilt, sorrow, etc.

Here's the scale he uses:

High levels of Energy
1000 Infinity / Divinity
700 Oneness, Non - Duality, Vast Awareness
600 Bliss, Peace, Serenity, Lightness
570 Ecstasy, Exaltation
550 Unconditional Love
540 Humor, Happiness
530 Love, Intuition, Appreciation
510 Power, Initiative, Integrity
505 Beauty, Creativity, Imagination
475 Joy, Creativity

Mid level s of Energy
450 Intelligence, Knowledge, Reason
400 Acceptance, Interest, Attention, Neutrality
320 Willingness, Kindness, Optimism, Activity
275 Courage, Relaxation , Eagerness, Fun
200 Contentment, Routine, Functionality, Boredom

Low levels of Energy
190 Pride, Superiority, Arrogance
180 Antagonism , Criticism , Discontent, Complaint, Blame
160 Anger, Domination, Aggression, Coldness
120 Craving , Need, Compulsion, Unfulfilled Desire
100 Fear, Worry, Shyness, Inferiority, Paranoia
80 Grief, Sorrow, Self- Pity
50 Apathy, Despair, Depression, Hopelessness
30 Guilt, Shame, Psychosis, Humiliation, Hatred

160 Anger, Domination, Aggression, Violence, Rage, Revenge
With outbreaks of anger (160) and Violence (150) this level controls those below. This is your choleric, your dominant, your tyrant, your control freak. He is much more able to react, control and work than lower levels, but often in destructive ways. Compared to the 80s his self-confidence is radiant, compared to the 300s he has none. 160 is a shifting point for those coming from below; for them it feels like freedom, like breaking loose from all constraints. Hence anger-therapy and violent sports. Hence war. Lower levels are liberated from dullness and victimhood. Armed forces and military conquer and beat lower levels but not only in the sense of having more power than them (a general rule of the scale is that in competition higher energy always beats lower), but by the excitement and energy it generates. War mongering does weaken the 170s, 180s, 200s, but it empowers those that were in apathy. Knowing this we can see the world with more compassion and tolerance, we see that some of this "negative" energy is needed for the elevation of the sorry masses drifting through apathy-hell . No offense to the pacifists, but the macho-aggression of the US Marines along with some of the raging lunatics of military Africa or the angry rants of the religious fanatic serve to elevate the depressed and repair lower levels within mass-consciousness. An angry rant is just what those stuck on shame, guilt and apathy need.

It's a good read. I couldn't find the link from where I downloaded the pdf, but I do have a copy if anyone wants it.
