To Will For or Against Self

 

   

unlatched, given to agonies, plush carpet, rushing rivers, through tender crevices; the person that died, the old body, a newer self—as it wills itself, against its will, trying purity, acting against itself. no true mystery—the mind requires training—the body desires what it feels. what I will to do, I do not. what I will not to do, that I do. for that reason, trust is pivotal and volatile, as held in jeopardy—because—it is hard to act against something acting against, or with, the human will. the will is alert, eager, searching for pleasures, sensations, motivated by its lusts. to resist it is painful, whereby, most resist pain, as the primary motivation is for happiness; no one, unless disciplined, or younger, deliberately enters into pain seeking. the will seeks to enhance its access to happiness, serving what brings joy, in an immediate sense, whereby, the immediate, often becomes long-lasting, even, seemingly, permanent. with willing as with or against one’s inclination, comes the component of conscienceness; if the conscience is clear, one knows faith is at work. we presume that if the conscience is unclear, then faith has been weakened, as from behavior, as being out of alignment with itself. the beauty is when the conscienceness still effects the personality, still influences behavior, for once the conscience dies out, the beast takes over: each person has one trying to take control of the inner vehicle. it seems a mute discussion, while it’s a necessary discussion, where many are acting on will, either for self or against self.
