Impotence in the face of a life project may turn into a cold
hatred of any enterprise that solidifies one’s weakness. This hatred underlies the temptation to
refuse any opportunity that carries the risk of failure or rejection. The desire for recognition from the outer
world is strangled by one’s own disposition to refuse risk.
We have considerable agitation and discomfort in the face of
impediments that detract from our energy to produce prized results. The
lessening of energy complicates any advance but this will dissipate as small victories
are accomplished. Incremental advances and small victories are sometimes
achievable over time and function to re-new commitment.
One cannot seek desired results often times since the
personality has security and pleasure as its aims. Any threat to security and
pleasure is immediately discarded in favor of dwelling in the unlived life. Going
for rewards in the outer world is often driven by the need for a witness of
what has been developed inwardly.
Success and acts of kindness
change their function from being drivers of practice to becoming expressions of
hidden resolves. Unconscious needs, once uncovered, become sources of right
action for they are in alignment with one’s intuitions and underlying passions.
Thought alone suffer from
failures of the will which only comes forth as an ally when summoned by the
inner guide. If will is based on deeply
held desires, resistance due to fear and self-doubt
is more readily overcome.
Stuttering starts, stops and
distractions tend to disrupt smooth journeys to end points but inflection
points where a sudden opening to wider vistas takes place may convert lassitude
into burning desires. The impotence born of fear can be overcome when there is
exposure to authoritative evidence that going outside from inside brings
rewards of closeness to others. The evidence from intimate relationships shows
that it is often brought about by the sharing of secrets.
