| pseudo-solutions: (1) the quest for love, (2) the quest for power, and (3) the quest for serenity | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| 2) the quest for power, and (3) the quest for serenity. The misconception behind each one is | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| of self-preservation leads the soul to adopt the quest for power. The distorted instinct of procreation leads | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| instinct of procreation leads the soul to the quest for love. Yet either instinct may serve both | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| necessarily mean that contradictory tendencies, such as the quest for love, are not also present. Also, I | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| there are many variations possible. For example, the quest for power may predominate without any apparent aggressiveness | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| self-preservation will lead to the pseudo-solution of a quest for power, with all its demands, aggressiveness, and | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| to the pseudo-solution of submissiveness, compliance, appeasement. The quest for love is supposed to solve all problems | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| receive pleasure. The third pseudo-solution, namely, withdrawal, the quest for serenity, is secondary. It is the result | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| distorted instinct of self-preservation and its pseudo-solution, the quest for power, predominate, a vital part of the | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| distorted instinct of procreation and its pseudo-solution, the quest for love, predominate, vulnerability and helplessness increase until | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| This, of course, cannot work. For instance, the quest for power aims at love and pleasure in | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| simultaneously bring you so much admiration that your quest for love will be fulfilled. You never see | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| is done. Those whose predominant pseudo-solution is a quest for love to obtain pleasure will compromise by | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| opposite underneath. If the predominant tendency is the quest for power in order to be safe, with | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
