II.   Mind (PSY)

Will, also known as “volition”, is the wish, want, desire, purpose, goal or meaning underwriting a particular intention that leads to motive in the connection between mental impulses and physical actions of a form of Mind. Hence Will leads to intention, intention leads to action, with the relationship between intention and action defined as motive.

The word Will originates from the Latin word velle meaning “to wish, want, desire, purpose, determine, meaning”.

Will is an attribute unique to each particular Mind.

Will is not equivalent to intention in that intention is the mental exertion of a Mind caused by an underlying wish, want, desire, purpose, goal or meaning being Will.

Will is not equivalent to motive in that motive defines the relationship between intention and action caused by Will.

Free Will is the ability for a Mind to choose its own thoughts and actions, or determine what reasons are acceptable motivation for actions, without being forced to do so by external forces. All forms of Mind possess Free Will.

As all higher order life forms possess three (3) Minds being Lower Mind, Higher Mind and Absolute (Divine) Mind, all higher order life forms possess three (3) forms of Free Will simultaneously being Physical Will, Higher Will and Divine Will:

(i) Physical Will is the unique Will possessed by a Lower Mind, sometimes referred to as “Animal Will” or “Animal Instinct”; and

(ii) Higher Will is the unique Will possessed by a Higher Mind, sometimes referred to as “Conscience” or “Inner Voice”; and

(iii) Divine Will is the unique Will possessed by an Absolute (Divine) Mind, also commonly referred to as “God’s Will”.

As each form of Will within a life form is unique, it is possible for different Wills to be in conflict with one another, especially due to the effect of mind viruses affecting Physical Will and then Higher Will.

A conflict of Wills between the Minds of a higher order life form necessarily implies a lack of cooperation between the levels of Mind which is a prerequisite for external influence, manipulation and temporary possession.
