Frustration—state of feeling that arises in a person when he or she has set a goal and is failing to reach it. This is true regardless of what the goal is or what is preventing the realization of the goal.
The part of us which is conditioned is conditioned to do easy things. We tend to become weak and live by the 4dbus, loosing the power to do.
Real doing is going against some strong impulse of so called nature (4dbus) The doing implies a degree of liberation from mechanical living, thinking, etc. The idea must be given force or be actualized in life for it to have any value. To act (inner) —-making up the mind to do some outer act by going in an opposite direction from the usual automatic routine.
If I think being free is to satisfy the egotistic impulses (4dbus) I have not accepted the responsibility to serve higher power—being consciously awake.
I am usually conditioned to drift passively to ease, to please, to be comfortable with a new set of ideas as justification to satisfy A and B.
Essence is born as potential in each. Personality (A and B) is acquired or learned, imitated, copied, ingrown, and with it there are habits and pleasures, etc. Consciously or unconsciously we must make effort to see and thus to overcome the inertia of the matter of A and B. When A or B dominates I disintegration takes place in the essence. I, or the essence, must be developed to dominate A and B. We must see the harmful effects A and B at work on our essence and work to ask ourselves the question “Do I see the what I am doing?”
Goal setting verses aim direction.
1. Is my happiness dependent on having, doing, being, or others doing, being, or having blank, blank, blank, whatever it may be.
2. Has this person agreed within not to be happy until the goal is realized?
3. Would you be anxious to reach the goal?
4. Is to be anxious to have feelings of frustration and emergency?
5. Does this frustration and emergency result in in bodily preparation to fight or run?
6. Does this produce internal conflict and stress?
7. Does it not appear that I have an unconscious motivation to be frustrated?
Escapes and substitutions. The following are automatic escapes from reality:
1. Drink
2. Sex.
3. Religion.
4. Pursuit of education.
5. Distraction, such as worry and anxiety.
6. Civic work, doing good, helping others.
7. Political ideologies, race and creed.
8. Health foods, all other causes.
Do I create something as an escape? Does this compound I’s problem as trying to escape the escape? Does this lead I into endless theories by those who profess to help with problems? Are these theories only more escapes? What is it that I want to escape?
A self originating being, a good guest, sees when to cooperate and when not to cooperate.
