Will can be grasped under three aspects:
1. It is
the factor of emergence in and out of manifestation. It is
the “fiat lux“, the word or command which brings in existence, which makes to
be.
2. It is
the factor sustaining the oneness of a whole, that which ensures
coherency of the parts and re-absorbs the essence of these various parts ; in
this sense, it is synthesis.
3. It is
the factor orienting action. It inspires or points out an open
direction (without dealing with details).
Besides
creative intelligence and love-wisdom there exists
“Will, dynamically applied, emerges in manifestation as power“
Alice
Ann Bailey, Rays 1 :48
“By
what power wilt thou be affirmed?
Shall I speak of power when
All folly, all ignorance, all vanity, strives for power?
But I say and attest, Our power is different.
Our power is sacrifice“
Leaves
of Morya’s Garden, vol 1 (The Call) § 353
This
sacrifice and power means accepting to limit oneself in order to achieve the
task which appears necessary. This necessity links us to a greater Will
or Logics than ours.
“Not my will, but Thy will be done.“ Matthew 26:39
This
implies our whole being in that direction, it implies to spend oneself and to
give oneself for that purpose. This assumes the ability to discern the useful
tasks, true need and to love enough the others in order to spend oneself thus.
But
is there another way of living? Is not life giving one’s being, spending
one’s existence, in order to give to the world in the line which seems essential
to us, this gift being made in a right rhythm : receiving - giving - receiving
…
We can
offer it voluntarily or to be forced to do so; there remains to know why, for
whom, and how ; creativeness, intelligence and inspiration are necessary for
that gift of ourselves.
