Except in certain Mystical Traditions, what you find in Western religions, is the idea that God is somehow separate from Reality and the Laws of Nature. Well, it is a fact that people will always emulate the qualities inherent in their beliefs about God, so if someone believes that God is separate from Reality, and the Laws of Nature, then in their own minds, they will also imagine a separation between themselves and Reality and the Laws of Nature
And if a person believes that their Loving God is an abusive, dictatorial Monarch, who can be bribed by worship, and praise, then they will adopt those qualities into their egos, and express them through their behavior. If a person believes that their religion is their only connection with God, then they will do anything their religion tells them to do, and you can be sure that the people running that religion will know this, and take advantage
I look at so many religions, and how they describe God as a small-minded, insecure, selfish, greedy, and ego-centric being, and I have to wonder how such a mean little monster could have had enough imagination to create the Universe we live in. I see religions describing a God whose character (they say) is quite inferior to my own (and probably yours, too), and can only conclude they they believe these things, because they are afraid not to
Now let me tell you a little bit about my own experience of God. The Divine is not separate from Reality or the Laws of Nature. God IS Reality, and the Laws of Nature. So what is Reality, and what are the Laws of Nature? Those are things that we have to discover. We have brains, because we are supposed to use them
Separations between things, exist only as constructions in our own minds, and never bare up upon close scrutiny. Beliefs are not truth, and more often than not, beliefs get in the way of seeing what the truth is. In Spiritual development, you are likely to spend more time discarding erroneous beliefs, than in making discoveries of what the truth is, especially at the beginning. It is also likely, that as you proceed along the Path of Discovery, that you will need to discard newly adopted beliefs for better ones, as you go along
The Path is a process, and not an end. There is no final summation of what can be discovered, and no cap on the Pyramid of Enlightenment. It is Infinite on an order of magnitude no one can comprehend, which is no reason for anyone not to try. The Universe is a Web of interconnected Life, and we are a part of this whole, whether we know it or not
There is the Language of Words, and there is the Language of Deeds. In the Language of Words, one can tell the truth, a lie, anything in between, or manufacture a fantasy. In the Language of Deeds one can only tell the truth of what you have chosen to hold within you. Pay attention to what you say... and to what is said

Anger focuses the Mind, but it also narrows it. You never find a solution when you are angry.
There is an interesting thing about the things that make us angry. When you share a good trait with someone else, that is never a problem. It is always easy to share a good trait with someone else. On the other hand, when someone possesses a bad trait that you also happen to have, it will drive you right up the wall with anger. It is nigh on close to impossible to share a bad trait with someone else.
So there is a big clue as to why you get angry, & what will trigger it, but how to deal with it is a more subtle matter. You have to understand the process. Emotions always seek expression. If an emotion you are holding onto, doesn't get expression in one way, then it will express itself in another. Since you have developed some occult abilities, your emotions can express themselves through them.
Spellwork is a formal, and conscious process for expressing ones desires, and bringing them into Manefestation. BUT, the same processes are operative through our attitudes in general, and the feelings we hold subconsciously. This is why meditation, Devotional work, and the refinement of character, should always be coupled with occult development. You can work a lot of damage without consciously intending to do so.
The affixing of blame to external things, like other people, and apparent conditions in the Material World, is something that the UnEnlightened Ego is wont to do. It's really quite easy, after all. However, situations, and conditions in the external world never occur, unless there are present conditions on the higher planes that allow them to come into Manefestation. Thus, nothing can ever happen in the external world, without there being some component within yourself, that lets it happen. So when you are dealing with some sort of conflict, you should find what part you played in it. Most likely, it will be only some tiny thing, but that is quite enough to get the ball rolling, so to speak.
Now I'm not saying that you are completely responsible for everything that happens. I'm just saying that when you discover what part you've played in it, that it will become something that you can deal with. Releasing attachment to conflict, selfish desires, and the affixing of blame onto external things, will go a long way towards changing everything that can possibly happen around you.
