The state of consciousness called "Fight" is direct resistance: force against force. There are situations in which fighting may be necessary. This can involve literal struggle, or a metaphoric resistance against the direction that things are going. Nevertheless, allowing our minds to regress to the fight mode is a very risky proposition, as it can lead to solutions that cause more problems.

Fighting is a Primal Defense Mechanism. It is what animals do when they are cornered. When an individual switches to the attack mode, there is a streamlining of the consciousness. The mind becomes simplified. Due to the apparent lack of other options to diminish the feeling of danger, the mind instantaneously activates the bodily functions that increase the individual's capacity to engage in combat with its surroundings to break through barriers that stand between the individual and its safety.

Although it may not be the most graceful extrication from a predicament, there are times when the fight mode is our only option. The shear power that immediately comes into our hands is not entirely within the control of our thinking minds, however, which makes an angry person a very dangerous animal.

The trouble with this state of consciousness is, once we switch it on, it is hard to switch it off. Worse yet, once we are in the all-encompassing state of fight, we see nothing but things to fight. Violence creates more violence in the way that a landslide can only create more falling rocks.

There, however, a sane side of the fight response that is be essential to becoming who we want to be in life. When we realize a condition in our lives that is intolerable, we can use the emotional power to transcend limitations and change our lives for the better. It is this aspect of the fight energy that allows us to alter our life conditions and expand our inner knowing beyond the theoretical and into the realm of action.

We must use our fear response in a constructive manner. We do this by recognizing something that is profound and meaningful through our anger, and collect ourselves enough to turn this emotion into constructive motion. Do not throw away your anger, use your anger. Turn it into inspired action that leads you to change your conditions and bring yourself closer to the realization of who you are and what you truly believe in.

If you harness the creativity that comes as a result of your “red” energy, you can manifest a life that is what you want it to be. Then there will be no reason to dwell on the anger. You simply convert into meaningful action. Fight for what you believe in, and you will be on the path to becoming your true self.
