| The feature I want to talk about is frustration. Like all human attitudes, frustration can easily be | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| talk about is frustration. Like all human attitudes, frustration can easily be distorted into two opposites, both | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| destructive. Everyone knows that the inability to tolerate frustration constitutes a severe personality disturbance and impairs one's | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| severe personality disturbance and impairs one's character. When frustration is not handled properly, it inflicts pain on | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| on others. The traits that impede coping with frustration are greed, self-centeredness, blindness, and fear. The person | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| the same underlying problem. The wrong attitude about frustration is harmful for obvious reasons. It impairs relationships | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| self-respect, and inner peace. I shall now discuss frustration as it relates to the pleasure principle. The | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| pleasure, is in its blindness incapable of tolerating frustration because it ignores future possibilities. When the psyche | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| apparent contradiction ensues: the less one can endure frustration, the less one experiences the pleasure. Rigidly insistent | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| mind. When you misunderstand the importance of tolerating frustration, distorted responses, such as martyrdom, abstinence, and resignation | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| considered unimportant. But the other distorted response to frustration, insistence and rigidity with a do or die | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| the blocks that constrict you. The topic of frustration is directly linked with our first topic. When | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| so, you would not ever have to fear frustration, unfulfillment, or emptiness. Since you fear and block | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| experience the fear of nonfulfillment. Inability to tolerate frustration actually results from the fear of nonfulfillment. Fear | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| endure the emptiness, and they struggle against any frustration. The adamant demand for instant gratification says, I | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| the universe. This is, of course, utterly impossible. Frustration would not be an issue if the cosmic | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| disharmony existed, meaning where waste existed, fulfillment where frustration existed, pleasure supreme where pain and deprivation existed | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| to finding a numbness that causes despair and frustration, because it leads to self-alienation and disconnectedness of | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| depends on the ability to assimilate pain and frustration in an appropriate and truthful way, in the | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| stilted, premeditated attitudes that make all spontaneity impossible. Frustration and emptiness increase anger and rage, thus fear | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| put on the importance of giving out. The frustration resulting from not sufficiently receiving has been overemphasized | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |

| comprehend the far worse pain caused by the frustration of not giving what you have. The overemphasis | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |

| liberation and well-being require equal attention to the frustration of not giving and not being able to | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| very means that continually reproduces the rejection and frustration. In other words, you will connect the feeling | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| to hurt the female sex out of anger, frustration and revenge, the sexual force has entered into | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| delight. Thus the vicious circle continues. The continued frustration, which you believe to be caused by the | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| how to correct an unnecessary condition of fear, frustration, and pain. For even those of you who | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| sorrow and unhappiness, all emptiness and unfulfillment, all frustration and suffering are caused by being disconnected -- | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| shrinks away from it in terror. The resulting frustration confuses you, frightens you, and makes you feel | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| which increase the unconscious denial, destructiveness and conscious frustration. The soul movements in two opposite directions make | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| the sense of refusing to accept a possible frustration or denial. If you were to express your | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| the truth of life. All the pain and frustration the average human being goes through in the | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| on one force, thwarts life and produces displeasure, frustration, and restriction. When men and women have not | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| affect life; and it leads to more separation, frustration, and unhappiness -- to the painful tension produced | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| topic here, is the experience of pain and frustration. You have been indoctrinated for millennia with the | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| indoctrinated for millennia with the conviction that any frustration is pain. That is why it is so | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| and relaxation are different aspects of pleasure. Unless frustration ceases to be a threat so that the | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| behind your curtain of fear. Your conviction that frustration is pain and perhaps even danger makes you | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| out of you, you should experiment with any frustration that comes along the next time. Ask yourself | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| You will learn to let the pain, the frustration, be. You will let its movement be by | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| such frantic, struggling movements against the pain and frustration that it is impossible to come to the | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| away from self- responsibility, deny any sort of frustration, want to get by with giving nothing and | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| grasping, needless denial. The consequences are pain and frustration. This is all the more confusing when you | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| more violent your anger grows from this uninterrupted frustration. Then this anger frightens you, so that you | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| myself. Whenever I feel threatened by rejection, criticism, frustration of my immediate desires, I at once withdraw | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| and the life side must fight against this frustration. Any kind of numbing process, any attempt to | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| fight and self-division. When you fear hurt, disappointment, frustration, you fear experience per se. If you fear | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| becomes obvious that fear of emotional experience breeds frustration, discontent and emptiness which, in turn, gives rise | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| life. In turn, you fight against the inevitable frustration that results from these divided motivations. Here you | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| good illustration of the process: fighting such a frustration blindly and destructively cannot eliminate its cause. Yet | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| such a frustrating life? Only by accepting the frustration can you understand it and eliminate its cause | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| cause. Only going through the experience of the frustration can bring to the surface the emotions that | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| which numbs the feelings, which in turn creates frustration. Again I want to emphasize for the benefit | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| inner knowledge did not exist, you could accept frustration and lack with much less difficulty. For the | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| difficulty. For the very nature of unhappiness is frustration at not having what you want. Therefore each | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| fruitful life experience, or the pain, suffering, and frustration you have to bear. Unfulfillment is not even | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| Expansion and bliss belong together, as stagnation and frustration belong together. Expansion is a self-activating process that | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| face them, all their feelings are affected. The frustration and hopelessness that result from such conflicts increase | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| Moreover, misconception must lead to unfulfillment and therefore frustration and disappointment -- which, in turn, produce resentments | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| dependency on another's good opinion, by fear of frustration and inability to stand non-gratification. You thus will | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| that such a predicament induces feelings of resentment, frustration, anger, self-hate, guilt? And is it not natural | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| continue a vicious circle. The result must be frustration and limitation, which you then assume to be | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION Greetings, my friends. May my words reach your | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| up the life and energy centers. Fear of frustration is an important example of error creating tension | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| being is not, to begin with, afraid of frustration? This fear must be overcome, for it is | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| is an error in itself. The state of frustration always implies something that makes you want to | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| makes you want to fight unnecessarily against the frustration. This forces you to remain in a state | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| out of your vague thinking and feeling processes. Frustration is not dangerous or disastrous. Heed and recognize | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| recognize this, my friends. Observe your reactions to frustration. How do you react to anything undesirable that | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| hear that true self-fulfillment means the end of frustration. Now, although this is true, you cannot ever | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| this is true, you cannot ever end your frustration by fearing it and thus cramping up against | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| neither of two alternatives unduly intensifies your functioning. Frustration will cease to exist exactly to the extent | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| accept in a realistic and constructive way that frustration is an integral part of the present reality | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| reality. The childish desire for omnipotence which bans frustration cannot actualize the human being's divine powers where | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| of view of his or her attitude toward frustration by observing the following stages: 1)The most | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| and therefore troubled state is one in which frustration appears to be disaster. Hence fear and tension | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| best faculties to eventually overcome or diminish the frustration. The mature person accepts this level of reality | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| that limitations are present reality and that therefore frustration must also exist. This attitude holds true for | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| attitude has learned to encounter and deal with frustration, she or he can reach the ultimate state | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| on your real attitude toward any kind of frustration. It will give you a good gauge of | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| will also see that by tensing up against frustration you cause much more frustration for yourself, for | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| tensing up against frustration you cause much more frustration for yourself, for the very tension is a | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| condition outside you create anywhere near as much frustration as you inflict upon yourself by tensing up | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| life centers because of your defensive fear of frustration, you perpetually frustrate yourself. A great deal of | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| life, hopeless longing, a sense of futility and frustration from which you see no way out. The | 175 CONSCIOUSNESS: FASCINATION WITH CREATION |
| your grain, whenever you experience any degree of frustration, you tend to bring in your original reactions | 176 OVERCOMING NEGATIVITY |
| a precautionary attitude, just because you might experience frustration, delay, criticism, or the negativity of others. I | 176 OVERCOMING NEGATIVITY |
| same thing. Unawareness of this struggle leads to frustration and discontent, as well as to blaming others | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| the ability to deal realistically and constructively with frustration; being true to the issue, the self, the | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| of spirit; self-alienation; the false, destructive reaction to frustration; living for the sake of approval and impressing | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| Thus, the person must experience lack, rejection, and frustration. He or she then builds defenses against these | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| The first is the ability to deal with frustration, with life apparently saying No to you. It | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| justified and inviting. The former way -- bearing frustration -- implies the willingness to accept our premise | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| reveals itself to you. Until such time, the frustration must be borne in a productive way. There | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| and destructive way, both to accepting and rejecting frustration in life. The right kind of acceptance automatically | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| brings along the right kind of rejection of frustration. Right acceptance is the awareness and willingness to | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| the awareness and willingness to see that every frustration is self-produced and voluntarily pushed out of sight | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| the right acceptance with the right rejection of frustration. Wrong acceptance of frustration leads to wrong rejection | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| the right rejection of frustration. Wrong acceptance of frustration leads to wrong rejection of it, and vice | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| of it, and vice versa. When you dramatize frustration as annihilation of your world, it soon becomes | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| -- hopelessness, resignation, doom. When the small, momentary frustration or difficulty or disappointment is dramatized into a | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| is clearly illustrated here. Acceptance and rejection of frustration are not opposites but can form a beautiful | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| the right way of accepting and rejecting a frustration of life, you possess yourself. You truly own | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| into the wrong way of accepting and rejecting frustration in life, you become alienated from yourself. You | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| when none exists. If you learn to handle frustration and remain true to the ultimate reality of | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| important because of your inability to cope with frustration. There is also an element of spite in | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| of pain -- the pain of loneliness and frustration. But contact makes it difficult to maintain the | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| and by the willingness to give and receive. Frustration indicates an absence of contact, which, in turn | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |

| the way to cope well with the temporary frustration of this desire. What are the common denominators | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| and the presence of trust. If you fear frustration, unfulfillment, and their consequences, the tension of your | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| principle is most obvious in the case of frustration and anger. Many people can see relatively easily | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| Many people can see relatively easily that the frustration itself is less difficult to bear than their | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| itself is less difficult to bear than their frustration at being frustrated. The same is true of | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| Thus the crises of emotions such as anger, frustration, impatience, and depression are not recognized for what | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| Resistance is partly an expression of avoiding the frustration of wanting something that cannot be done and | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| choice to live in a constant state of frustration and unfulfillment. Physically this creates, of course, all | 185 MUTUALITY: A COSMIC PRINCIPLE AND LAW |
| with its very worst. Mental confusion creates more frustration and anger. The faulty interpretations which are supposed | 185 MUTUALITY: A COSMIC PRINCIPLE AND LAW |
| the person is always missing mutuality only increase frustration, and therefore anger and hate. On the emotional | 185 MUTUALITY: A COSMIC PRINCIPLE AND LAW |
| and you find yourself in a frenzy of frustration, bitterness and tension. Alternatively, you may manage also | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| you accept your split, a great deal of frustration is eliminated -- but by no means all | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| consciousness, to that extent you foster your ongoing frustration. You perpetuate negation of life and negativity of | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| totally egotistical and therefore unwilling to accept any frustration, little or big; you are unwilling to deal | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| willing, this will no longer present a debilitating frustration for you. You no longer depend on proving | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| to accept the anger, and on and on. Frustration itself is bearable when you fully go into | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| pathwork. The same is true with fear, anger, frustration, or whatever the feeling may be. Thus, when | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| hurt to your pride or a rejection, or frustration of your will or desires -- in all | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| insatiable demands, such as to be spared all frustration, to never be criticized, to be always loved | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| Since these needs can never be fulfilled, continuous frustration and emptiness wipe out hope, blacken vision, and | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| unfulfillment, to a hurt, a criticism, or a frustration. It is then possible to recognize the unreal | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| by looking at your life, your suffering, your frustration, and your unfulfilled longings. All levels must be | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |

| effect, that is, between lack of commitment and frustration, creates the need to seek the wrong kind | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| given up and adjusted to unnecessary deprivation and frustration. There is still much work to be done | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| that it causes you and others pain and frustration, unfulfillment, and perpetual guilt and longing. It is | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |

| can come to you. The ability to take frustration and pain are essential to giving and receiving | 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY |
| movement toward fusion. For instance, quite often when frustration is ascribed to sexual incompatibility, the sexual incompatibility | 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY |

| a painful conflict in yourself and you create frustration. True leadership cannot exist under these circumstances, for | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| to even consider is the proper attitude toward frustration. We have discussed this before, but I still | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| personality can only come when the dichotomy of frustration versus fulfillment has been conciliated. Now how can | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| the fulfillment of the desire by eliminating all frustration. Thus you never learn how to transcend frustration | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| frustration. Thus you never learn how to transcend frustration so it can no longer occur. Of course | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| be sure that as long as you experience frustration you have to learn from it. What kind | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| What kind of approach would be fruitful toward frustration and would eventually lead to its transcendence? When | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| I will learn a lesson from this particular frustration and will not act as if it were | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| your reaction of utter disgust and outrage about frustration, your fear and anger about it, and to | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| step on the ladder of learning to transcend frustration is the active, deliberate and renewed search for | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| renewed search for the meaning of any particular frustration. What does the particular frustration you are dealing | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| of any particular frustration. What does the particular frustration you are dealing with at this time have | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| and I deliberately repeat it, there is no frustration that does not contain a joyful, valuable, liberating | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| are so bent on battling the occurrence of frustration that the lesson gets lost and you pass | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| more rigid you will become, the worse the frustration will appear, the more the frustrations will grow | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| to discover you have created the illusion that frustration is an enemy. The overwhelming experience has the | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| the capacity to loosen up the tightness against frustration and consequently against all of life. Frustration is | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| against frustration and consequently against all of life. Frustration is a friend, my friends. You can make | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| wisdom, liberation, will already alter your outlook toward frustration, so that when another such lesson comes you | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| the consciousness behind all things, even behind the frustration. This is obviously a substantial step toward conciliating | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| a substantial step toward conciliating the dichotomy of frustration versus fulfillment. The further step on the ladder | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| deliberately repeat them here, for they apply to frustration as well. As you approach frustration through the | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| apply to frustration as well. As you approach frustration through the steps I have proposed here, the | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| I have proposed here, the point of the frustration will narrow; you will perhaps be able to | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| and let yourself fully experience that point of frustration, after you have learned the lesson it has | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
