ABSTRACT

Understanding the transformation of aggression within the ego complex via the implementation of the eightfold path of nonviolence forms the core of the chapter. The reader will come to understand the complexity of aggression and its role in the development of consciousness through the implementation of nonviolence. While nonviolence is a powerful weapon, it is a formidable spiritual weapon when wielded against evil, and the question is circumambulated throughout the chapter, as to whether or not nonviolence can transmute evil. A compelling and complex chapter, the reader will be stimulated and informed about their own challenges with aggression and the effectiveness of living a nonviolent life.
