Review: Oscillations

G1: we easily notice what is to our advantage and almost reflexly seek to serve our self-interest.

G3: we naturally handle our exposure when our position is threatened and calls for a contest.

G5: we instinctively seek control in emerging situations by exerting influence on others.

G7: we naturally awaken ambitions when our expectations are either met or not met.

G2: we should organise risk-taking cautiously, often seeking advice from others.

G4: we should manage exchanges with careful consideration for what both parties will get from the interaction.

G6: we should maintain affluence advisedly in order not to waste energy on impractical or unprofitable ventures.

G1: you cannot always act in your own self-interest, but there will be occasions when you must take advantage of the situation.

G3: you cannot always be exposing yourself to social contests, but you will find it necessary to periodically rise to the occasion.

G5: you cannot always be seeking control but sometimes an emerging situation threatens you and requires this attitude.

G7: you cannot always awaken ambitions—it would be too exhausting—but at certain times you will notice that their realization may be possible.

G2: you must be continually monitoring and organising your risk-taking or something untoward will occur.

G4: you must be continually managing your exchanges with others because these are likely to have knock-on and cumulative effects.

G6: you must constantly maintain affluence because any reduction to your standard of living is undesirable.

G1: To serve your self-interest in a situation, you look inwards to be sure what is actually in your interests because the situation does not tell you this.

G3: To handle your exposure in a situation, you have to look inwards to determine whether it is worth putting yourself into the limelight.

G5: To seek control in a particular situation, you have to look inwards to know whether your weight is sufficient to have an influence.

G7:When an event might awaken ambitions, you can only appraise its significance by looking inwards.

G2: To appraise organisation of risk-taking, you must look outwards to where the risk lies and determine the nature of the risk and how best to handle it.

G4: To appraise management of exchanges, you must look externally to the nature of the exchange, the practicalities, and the likely future consequences.

G6: To appraise maintenance of your affluence, you have to look externally and compare your state with the standard of living of others whom you view as your equals.

G1: Having looked inward and decided what will serve your self-interest, you have to direct effort outward into altering the world to get the benefit.

G3: Having looked inward and decided to expose your position, you have to put your effort into contesting in public.

G5: Having decided that seeking controlis sensible and to your benefit, effort must be put into the social situation to exert influence and get the benefit.

G7: Having awakened ambition in response to an event, you must put effort into pursuing the aspiration within the situation that has emerged.

G2: Having chosen to take the risk, efforts must be applied internally so that you are not thrown off kilter by emotions like fear and excitement.

G4: Having decided on an exchange, you have to direct efforts internally to avoid being boastful, self-aggrandizing and conceited (if you think you won) or regretful and remorseful (if you think you lost).

G6: Having chosen to maintain affluence, efforts must be applied inwardly to enable additional determination in the face of frustration or loss.
