Sure we could look at my life and say 'that's where your will is being applied. It's obvious.' .... But I take from Ocean's input that she would prefer to apply her will in an unrestricted way that we just aren't able to. I think "laziness" is not the inhibitor. I think that there are many ways that each individual experiences inhibited will power, and the source is not able to be changed.I guarantee you that if one actually applies their will in some manner, regardless of focus, then there would be a result and progress made. If one has their survival needs addressed, I'm not sure where the unchangeable source of inhibition would be. Assagioli did great things as a prisoner. To be clear, you don't have to do anything to polarize besides have desire and will. Everyone has a choice to go to sleep instead. However, the life-plan may eventually make the catalyst louder and louder where one must again wakeup and address that which can no longer be ignored.
Originally, I was moving past "polarization" in my thinking.
I'm not familiar with assagioli.
I think we are applying the will all the time. That's why I say we just keep on keeping on. If I could choose to sleep, I definitely would. I don't think this is an available choice. Some of us may seek prison as a means to express the type of will we are happier to express. Some of us will break our arm to get attention from mommy.
