Will is good
Will is good
Not merely good will
But will itself
To say it isn’t is
to misunderstand
+
There are two sorts of will
There is the rarely needed ooomph sort
that betokens
a resolve that needs to push
a marshaling of energy to achieve an immediate goal
like a remission of something
This is not recommended
or needed
as a daily methodology
It might lead to apoplexy
in an exercise nut
But it has its place
+
Then there is
the lovely Assagioli sort of will
merely an aspect of the choices
we make via conscious colloquy
(Assagioli gave us
psychosynthesis
a gift not all yet
know about
But they will)
+
This second sort of will
is merely a determination
a flagging
a capacity to say
this way or that
this thing or that
whatever sign one
is considering
+
To say will is not useful
is like saying
we can do without
a tenth or so of capacity
(Do you mind
if I take out
a random tenth?)
+
The will remains one way
Thus ends my catechism
