To my knowledge very little has been written or studied about that most important function of Consciousness – Will.
Sri Aurobindo, a recent Master and one of our greatest teachers. had this to say.
From Sri Aurobindo: Life Divine, page 14... “…Will is only consciousness applying itself to a work and a result.
What is that work and result, if not a self-involution of Consciousness in form and a self-evolution out of form so as to actualize some mighty possibility in the universe which it has created”?
COMMENT: What does it mean that “Will is only consciousness applying itself to a work and a result”?
Everything is Consciousness. It is the first manifestation from the Source, and the origin of everything in manifestation. There for it is consciousness or intention, applying itself to get the result It desires. That is what is meant by “self-evolution (Consciousness creating from Itself) in order to actualize its own possibility with an eye on manifesting its goal.
