			<description><![CDATA[During the assimilation stage, progress can remain slow and remain invisible for a time. However, those in the creative orientation understand that these periods do not inhibit the development of the result but enhance it. Furthermore, it reinforces the structural tension towards what you want by highlighting the distance to it. (page 200) --scribilus]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[An exercise in primary choice:
1. Make a list of everything you want, from now through the rest of your life.
2. Re-read your list and make sure it contains all the major components of what you want.
3. Test each item with: "If I could have that, would I take it?". Formally choose each item you want with "I want this result...".
4. Continue until you have chosen every item you truly want on your list. (page 180) --scribilus]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Most people have learned to compromise rather than choose. The ways we can undermine our power of choice include:
1. Choice by limitation - choosing only what seems reasonable
2. Choice by indirectness - choosing the process instead of the result
3. Choice by elimination - eliminating all other possibilities and taking what's left
4. Choice by default - use inaction to "decide"
5. Conditional choice - imposing preconditions
6. Choice by reaction - choices designed to overcome a conflict, or avoid pain.
7. Choice by consensus - polling others
8. Choice by adverse possession - thinking like a powerless victim (page 166) --scribilus]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Civilization and culture provide a shared framework for collaboration and creation. However, their very existence also necessarily limits the perspectives and scope of such creation. Take ancient cultures such as the Egyptians or Maya for example, or modern day capitalism. These systems all allow their participants to build upon a common framework, but also implicitly influence and limit the scope of their visions. The real danger is that this tunnel vision is difficult to become aware of for those in a particular system. (page 145) --scribilus]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The conception period feels like play. Concepts are general and allow you to mentally try different possibilities. Once you have formed a concept, the next step is to crystallize it into a specific vision. How do you want to see the concept manifested? When you focus a concept into a vision, you are limiting many ways into a single way. (page 127) --scribilus]]></description>

You can shift to another, more useful structure, but paradoxically you cannot change it based upon your dissatisfaction, because this motivation is in self part of the original conflict.

However, these still produces an undermining effect, since the addiction itself (positive or negative) is an avoidance mechanism. (page 102) --scribilus]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Conflict manipulation means to agitate one of the tensions (e.g. create worry of failure) in order to "spring" the system in moving in the desired direction. This may appear to work at first, but the opposing tension ultimately brings things back to equilibrium. Ironically, this reinforces the sense of helplessness. (page 93) --scribilus]]></description>
