The situation we can find ourselves in where we say: "There's nothing to do..." I think can only happen when we get above the necessities of basic survival. Basic survival is obviously something to do. Something to keep one busy. I don't just mean a job one goes to everyday. I mean, when you have to make your own shelter, grow your own food, make your clothes, etc. When those things get easier we realize we don't have anything to do, and instead of seeing it in the context of basic survival having become easier due to culture and civilization we live in we make of it a philosophical thing and we get all existential about it. It's a full belly talking.
But also: when we *do* have free time to pursue higher things, like B Influence, that is something to do as well. Meeting A Influence demands is something to do, but then pursuing B Influence too is something to do. It is when you exhaust, truly exhaust, B Influence that you can *really* feel there is nothing to do.
But then you still have C Influence to contact and engage. But that requires a new level of valuation and effort.

An interesting point arises in my post: the valuation that we develop for B Influence is not the same valuation needed to contact and engage C Influence.
I've had the valuation for pursuing C Influence in a big way in the past. It is a very active, NOW type of thing though. It can *really* come and go. The valuation we develop for B Influence, once we have pursued it to the degree of developing Magnetic Center, can be pretty steady and always there.
C Influence requires a different level of valuation. That is obvious, but just being awake to the fact is important.
