Will emerges from the need for self as a vehicle within all, and the logic of being part of a connected sense of possibility in a way that grants power. When will expands, courage is experienced. When maintained, it flows into joy or presence.
The urge to hold onto will, or resist shifting into joy or presence, habituates held courage into patterns of control. Control patterns generate requiring hunger for embedded experiences of empty self. This includes conscious awareness (self-consciousness) and the challenges of craziness and morality (in self or other).
Awareness of will reflects the universal need for self to express through center/heart and the need to respond to others through change. Will is the meaning-independent vehicle of rational self-awareness. Together with acceptance and wonder, it generates flowing self, the source of spirit.
