Mohammed Hijab – Spirituality #01 – Sexual Desire & Anger

			So before talking about sexual desire and anger, it's important to note that Allah has Ali has his
own compartmentalization of the like, well, or the operations of the Pope of the heart, or he will
talk about the spiritual life. And it does anyway, it's very clear the difference between the pomp
the physical and the spiritual heart. So for example, he mentioned that there are three things or
three processes, if you like, or three classes he refers to as which which kind of in here in the
pub number one is, if you like the carnal desires, which includes sexual aggressive urges, which
we're going to come to now, but the other two are the propensity for the human being to, to enact
		

			Quadra to enact with power, whatever it is their will that they want to enact. And the third thing
is he refers to as basically the bedrock or the house, the hum. So the five senses. So this is his
compartmentalization. Now on the point of sexual desire and urges, Allah has any he doesn't paint
the picture unnecessarily that anger and sexual desire are negative forces in of themselves. Fact,
they have a function, if you think about and this is how we represent it, as sexual desire is a
pulling force. And anger is a pushing force. Because when you when you're sexually aroused by
something or somebody you want them whereas when you're angry is destructive. You want to hurt them,
		

			or you want it away from you, you see. So it's a pushing force versus a pulling force, the appetites
or the sexual desire, and, and the anger now, he puts forward a series of interesting analogies I
just mentioned to him, therefore time and brevity and conciseness The first is of a city actually,
in a city here, where your uncle or your your rationality, your intellect, your unemotional self,
all these things are there represents the king and the police, the Chief of Police is anger,
emblematic of justice, disciplinarian ism, and all those kinds of things. But the chief of police is
his anger. So he says that you need to put anger into good use, basically. But if there's
		

			corruption, let's call it for the sake of argument with the police and then let the police is trying
to to revolt against the leader than the leader needs must to you know, take charge of the
situation. Likewise, he puts forth another very interesting parable, He compares sexual desire to a
pig.
		

			A pig is not to be held to account for his sexual proclivities and its behavior, we see how a pig
acts as a beastly animal. That's why many people say that may not pick so many women out there say
men are pigs because this is the truth and that they can't control their sexual desires. Men have
sometimes a heightened intensity in not being able to or weakness you could say, and not being able
to control their central desire. And this is why this this kind of criticism, there's some truth in
it that men act like pig sometimes, and this is well because it mentions is that sexual desire
represents the pig and anger the dog, he mentioned this I will read this. In fact, from his
		

			translated workers come a PhD thesis. In fact, translation of the first book of the third Quadroon
hijab will call he says that the dog is angling for the carnivorous beast, and the savage dog, or
not the dog and the beast from the standpoint of their periods or color or shape, but because the
spirit and meaning of this beast to quality is savageness, and enmity, and slaughter. Now as in man,
there is the savageness and anger of the beast, and the greed and voluptuousness of the pig. Thus,
the pig through gluttony invites man to excess and abomination. And the wild beast, by means of
anger calls him to oppress and oppression and harmful acts. The demon continues to serve up the
		

			appetite of the pig, and the wrath of the wild beast, or to incite one by means of the other and,
and he makes the inborn dispositions to appear good to them. The sage who represents the intellect,
is in duty bound to ward off the plotting and guile of the demon by revealing his dissembling by
means of His ie the sages, penetrating insight and evident clear eliminations and to destroy the
gluttony of the pig. By setting the dog over him for by means of anger, he breaks down the assault
of Appletons advocacy of sexual desire he Ward's off the savageness of the dog, by setting the pig
over him and bringing the dog in subjection under his role, if he does this successfully, his
		

			affairs are set, right? Equity is manifest in the kingdom of the body, and all goes in the straight
path. What was Elliot saying is you need to be angry and he mentioned this in another book,
actually, it's everyone has a book or the book of self examination, vigilance where I cover he
mentioned why are we not angry? We are angry when people you know don't meet our expectation to see
but we're not angry when we ourselves don't meet our own expectations makes this point or we don't
meet the expectations of God.
		

			You may feel guilty but are you angry. And this is the point, we need to stop being angry with our
own selves our own shortcoming. So anger needs to be redirected. And this is why the section
aggressive desires. Freud mentioned these couples come together many psychoanalysts in the 20th
century. They mentioned those two together, are inextricably linked in this way. If you are able to
somehow get at instrumentalize and weaponize anger against sexual desire, then that is one step
closer to achieving mastery. And he says, but if he is unable to overcome them, they overcome him
and bring him into servitude. And so he continues to search out crafty tricks, and careful plans to
		

			satisfy his pig and please his dog. Thus, he is constantly in servitude to a pig or a dog. This is
the condition of the majority of mankind, whenever their primary concern is the belly sensual
indulgence vying with the enemy. The strange thing is that he disapproves of isolates his
worshipping stones, whereas if the veil were removed, and his true state word is closed, and his
true condition set before him, as it set before mistakes, Jonnie the the top guys in his eyes,
either in his sleep, or whom, by when awake, he would see himself standing before a pig, now
prostrating himself before him, and again, kneeling, awaiting his signal and his command. So
		

			whenever the pig is roused up to seek the satisfying of any of his appetites, the man is sent forth
at once to serve them and bring that for which he lust and the same thing you mentioned about the
dog. Come and show that now. And this is a very powerful image. Yeah, that is either you that's
going to put the dog and the pig to service for yourself, or you are going to, figuratively Of
course, prostrate to the dog, and the pig.
