Gustav Meyrink takes his own political beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and fretting if he is not 100% clear about some ideology or theory.

Gustav can become a workaholic, not so much because he has lofty ambitions, but because he never feels like he has done enough. Gustav Meyrink is overly responsible or overly conscientious at work, so much so that he may not enjoy it at all.

The direction Gustav Meyrink needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

His natural instinct, especially when under stress, is to passively go along with whatever is easiest, refrain from clearly analyzing or assessing his situation and perhaps even try to escape from seeing his situation clearly by indulging in fantasies, intoxicants, and the like. Dreaminess and impracticality, being unfocused and undefined (at least in certain areas) are ways Gustav Meyrink copes with stress. Gustav Meyrink also has trouble setting limits and saying no.

His development path lies in cultivating discrimination and clarity, becoming more precise, and developing technical and practical skills that will enable Gustav Meyrink to function more efficiently in the world. Finding a way to be of practical service is also important.
