[quote=āSky Catā]Thanks for sharing, Elric,
Not only did āBeastieā know what was righteous but so too did the bystanders in the pub. Of course, being attacked and then reacting or responding in self defence gives one the absolute right to do so. Your āBeastieā is there for this.
I call it the Berserker gene ā¦
Interestingly, about the Berserkers, something I read a while ago about them, was that they usually lived secluded lives, outside of towns, and didnāt socialise like other people, they were loners and were pleasant, calm and peaceful, until being triggered on the battlefield in which they would enter a trace-like state and wreak havoc on the enemy.
It seems itās a type of protector/guardian aspect of self that is summoned when āwrongs need to be rightedā.
Itās interesting about you physically changing when that happens. Well, Iām not 100% sure of the mechanism(s) involved, however, since we all have only a portion of a Whole Self (soul, oversoul and avatar levels of identity) embodied at one time (there are limits to what most bodies can take without disintegrating and there are also limits due to DNA activation), it can be that temporarily one can embody larger portions of the Whole Self.
As I say, Iāve seen red twice before but in both instances I stopped myself from getting physical (part of me knew that it wouldnāt be pretty if I did), however I did also lose my temper twice with people before; once with a business partner who was trying to be controlling and another time with a girlfriend who was trying to manipulate me. In both cases I just got angry, didnāt see red, and meant no harm, however the business partner (a big tough guy who had been a bit of a street fighter in his youth) backed off and completely changed his attitude towards me after that, no longer trying to manipulate anything. His expression showed surprise and he didnāt argue with me again. The girlfriend said, I āgot scaryā. She never tried to manipulate me again after that (I also ended the relationship not long after.) In both cases all I did was go from being softly-spoken, which is my normal way of interacting, to slightly raising my voice and displaying some anger; basically, putting my foot down but with some passion behind it. It seems when I did that, people saw something that made them realise, āOops, my game isnāt working with this one and I donāt think I should try that again.ā Of course, I donāt like to lose my temper and I donāt like to see red either, but I know that is there should I ever be pushed too far or need to take some kind of action.
I would guess that what we are talking about, as I say, is likely more of Oneself entering into the physical body, and for men who might have a role in engaging in some kind of confrontation or battle, it can manifest as a physical change and also some kind of āautopilotā that engages. I think some of us that might have certain genes have it play out more intensely, and, for various other reason, perhaps having a greater capacity to embody more of Oneself in such times. As for women, I am sure the same thing can happen, but in a different way: How many times have we heard of women suddenly displaying superhuman strength, such as lifting up cars to save their child trapped under it, etc?[/quote]
Thanks SC, most interesting.
Last night before bed I wrote a [as usual 
] lengthy response but when I hit Reply a little thingy appeared saying to add my username. Like WTF?
So Iāll try again . . . .
First thing is, do you also have piercing blue eyes?
During my spiritual awakening when I was working as a relief postie, there was this other postie, a young body builder who tried to act like a tough guy trying to intimidate me as if he was my superior.
Iād just ignore his attitude that really annoyed the guy working next to me, who told me to stand up to the turd, ājust giving him enough ropeā Iād say.
Anyway once the young buck crossed the line I jumped up from my seat, standing inches from his face staring him in the eye, and told him in an assertive manner that he was not my boss and if he wished to communicate with me from then on he better learn to speak to me in a respectful manner or Iād simply ignore him.
His reaction was interesting considering my non-aggressive words.
The guy next to me later chuckled saying heād never seen this young buck look so frightened before. āLike a deer caught in the headlightsā he said 
Half of the other workers witnessed this and took note - the post office is a weird work environment. Casual staff basically had no rights while permanent staff had an equal say on any decisions. The young fella tried to have me sacked and called a meeting. Since they all knew that he was a trouble maker most voted against his demand.
Later talking to a couple of other posties about it, one mentioned that theyād not ever seen the young buck so rattled. I had no idea myself why since I hadnāt been aggressive, just assertive. Thatās when I learned for the first time when the other said āYouāve got real scary eyesā What?
Funny thing was that for days afterwards I looked back at reactions from blokes over the years that I never understood, that this new revelation suddenly explained.
When I was going through my awakening I was learning about focused intent and I realised that I was projecting energy through my eyes so I guess that affect was magnified.
At the time I was around 32yo. Itās funny how I went through life for that long without even realising something that should have been so obvious.
All my life I often saw things that was obvious to me but that few others saw. On the other hand, I often failed to see what was obvious to others.
Since others perceived you as āscaryā, Iām wondering if youāve also got piercing blue eyes?
Iāve got a busy day ahead so Iāll come back to your response later. Youāve raised some interesting points.
