Disarming Frustration and Chronic Distresses Triggered by Situations Out of Our Control

The sense of opposition -- or of frustration -- is a self-generated sensation, whatever the circumstances, however much those circumstances may justify feelings of opposition or frustration.

Those sensations -- frustration or opposition -- are a stress reaction that lies dormant until triggered by an experience similar to a remembered experience -- generally, the memory of opposition by someone or in some form.

Frustrating situations leave behind memory impressions -- impressions of both the situation and of our reaction, as triggerable behaviors, of going into distress and of its sensations.

That memory imprint of triggerable distress-behavior can be triggered by circumstances that may or may not really apply, circumstances that may be controllable, manipulable by learned actions.

Because those similar circumstances may be manipulable, efforts to remedy a stress reaction triggered by memory of a stressor may tempt us to control the similar circumstances in a similar way as before.  That temptation is likely to lead to persistent or repetitive conflicts.

A better approach is to disarm the situation from "the other end":  Give people the means to release themselves from their own stress reactions, whenever needed, without situations having to change, first.

The TetraSeed Awakening Invocations serve that purpose.

That way, disturbing circumstances are far less likely to perturb us, so we can retain more command of our own intelligence.
