Willpower
The Great Strength as I jokingly call it. What is Willpower? I used to think of it as mental tenacity, then I thought of it as physical potential, then figured it was a Spiritual Force.
So why not all three? Mental Tenacity, Physical Potential, Spiritual Force. The ability to will yourself the way you desire to be. The ability to Be as you Will Be the way you Want To Be. Or perhaps that isn't willpower at all. it's like the first time I ever pondered what Love was, I had little idea on where to start. So I had to really think about it, and I looked into it a lot.
Now I'm at Willpower, (next is Balance, then after that...Well, guess~) and so I'm pondering, I'm wondering and thinking. How do we people go about each day dragging ourselves out of bed and throwing on our skins to be humane out there? How can some who trek through madness manage it every day? Honestly, where does this Will, and this Power come from? Is it linked to our Red Ray and how much we desire to live? Is it connected to the Orange and Yellow Rays concerning ourselves and others? What is Willpower, how would you define or describe how one 'draws forth Willpower?'
Kind of like how one may draw forth Love from the Green Ray and Temperance (in self-confidence) from the Indigo Ray.
Where does Willpower come from?
There's an Archetype in the Law of One called the Matrix of the Mind, and in it's Tarot (The Magician, you sexy archetype, you) is depicted a Sphere of Power, is that sphere metaphorically my Will? Is my Will basically in my hands, at my disposal, and am I just looking away like 'hurr, w'ere my willpow?' in denial? I like to attribute the Willpower to two Chakras. Red and Indigo, on one end we have the confidence to believe we have Willpower in Indigo Ray, and literally on the opposite end at Red Ray we have the capability to utilize our 'Choice' (an example is by using Orange Ray Power towards self at Red Ray level, or just using red ray level to 'control' or 'allow' your 'initial reaction/response') and draw forth 'willpower' to perform our desire. Willpower doesn't come from Indigo or Red Ray in this configuration though, I think we need to use those to utilize it though.
Willpower comes from you, you provide the Willpower to yourself in a self-recursive manner, no different from 'choosing' to be happy and 'choosing' to see things from a different perspective (Red, Orange, Yellow, potentially Green, potentially Blue and Indigo Ray all right there).
It helps to also try to see this all happening 'inside' of The Moment, rather than in the future or past, as it muddies up the concept in terms of simultaneity and purity (it's ALL happening NOW, not then or later)
Is Willpower thus, simply, us Doing?
