The power within

I am back on the topic of Will Power. It is too prominent in both modern and ancient literature to be vacantly overlooked or subtly entertained with a disengaged level of consciousness.
Here are my thoughts today on the topic. This is as always exploratory. "Will" seems to be the conversion of energy from suggestive potential energy aka temptation to fully employed kinetic energy culminating in the magnetic pull of the experience.
Will is like a muscle. The more you use it, the more "powerFULL (full of power) you become. It is like it takes potential energy which we eternally float in, and it internalises it which then enables us to change our reflected experiences.
The activation of Will is achieved by keys/tools not unlike any other piece of exercise equipment. Exercise equipment is a fascinating concept. It is a gimmick based on the fact that we can do every single thing we do with equipment just using our own body weight....the problem is lack of motivation. We buy the equipment because we believe once we have it we will be more motivated. But in fact motivation is internal is generally not altered in any true state by external props.
But in line with the exercise equipment principle I have some thoughts about the role and purpose of "objects" of desire. I now equate them to this exercise equipment.
Take anything at all you can think of that could be classified as a temptation....and you will find a piece of "will power" exercise equipment. If you look at the human population in the 21st Century, there are but a tiny few who are not able to be considered weak willed. If we truly understood that our Will was the source of our experience capability, no matter what the experience, but that we currently have a FAT BLOB OF WANT covering our lean athletic finely tuned energy being. If we only got that if we could condition ourselves that beneath our Will once finely tune, we can connect to the Will of others without being manipulated by connecting with the WILL of God.
What is the difference between "want" and "will"? Want is a temporary connection with my own intention. Will is a permanent connection to the same. Want does not link where I am now to what I am temporarily focused on experiencing ...which naturally makes for a very weak link to that experience. Hence it doesn't happen.
But when we do engage our Will, even if it is only for a short time...something extraordinary happens. We become the energy of that potential we were inspired by...and so the reflective experience must occur. Sometimes there is quite a time delay between when we Willed to have it, and finally getting it, but that is directly related to a/. how strong and permanently active our connection with the idea is.
The big question now...is what am I going to do about it.
I am going to list down every element of "temptation" that exists to me. (actually the list is not that big). The purpose is not to try to avoid the temptations....for this is futile....after all we are living inside the world that is potential. The objective is indeed to see these items as an opportunity for me to exercise my will. The most important thing is to be committed to the idea that by doing so...by exercising my will I will change my status in this world which is currently a pawn of potential in someone else's experience and become the god of my own world...controlling the outcome of my experiences.
The LIST:
Watching movies at 1.30am when I would rather be mediating and focusing my will on something meaningful to experience. Movies have been an addiction due to the fact that they help the victim I have been "acting as" escape into another realm where dreams come true in that place. (inside the movie that I immerse myself in)...but then I wake up...and I am back to role playing the victim again. Before I wrote this....I had every intention of watching a movie as soon as I signed out of this blog. It is 1.45am here in NZ. I would then like every addiction, come down out of the dream back to this place the conscious determines to be reality, and I would then be annoyed at myself for the opportunity cost ...having wasted a perfectly good evening that I could have done so many other things with.
Food...eating Wheat and sugar products....This is the most debilitating thing I can do to myself at the moment. It is a power drainer. The sugar products I get....they are high energy, so I substituting for "true" energy by giving myself an external boost when I am spiritually low because I have been focusing on escapes, playing victim or illusive external pursuits.
What then does Wheat represent? Is it another form of energy... albeit one slightly longer lasting than Sugar? Gossip is another issue for me. Focused on creating money is another...probably the biggest one.
My day is now going to change. The purpose of my day is to find opportunities to exercise my Will in a non Karma generating way.
Spare time can be spent meditating to BE Abundance energy. This is to enable experiences of abundance ...permanently....because it becomes a reflection of who I AM.
The second part I will focus on is my WILL. I WILL, WE WILL, GOD WILL...I AM!
I will be back soon to discuss results and update.
