The Future Of Will


It seems as if many people today go about their daily routine in somewhat of a disengaged state. Most of us have witnessed this on more than a few occasions where we think to our selves,"What is this person doing"?

When you actually take the time to observe those around you, you will begin to notice all sorts of behavioral differences that you would have otherwise overlooked. Once this occurs, some are driven to wonder if these people are even aware of the full extent of their actions.

Well, the answer is both Yes and No. Yes, meaning that they are aware of their actions in the sense that the attention on a particular task influences them to act in that given moment. The action itself prompting you to decide on the next course of action.

No, meaning that they might not(at least consciously) be aware of how a particular action effects those around them, and so on. We've all seen it, that person that just refuses to muffle their sneezes in confined public quarters, while someone with a weaker immune system yawns at just the right time(also without muffling) and contracts the illness, etc. Call it interconnectedness. Call it entanglement. Call it Karma, what have you.

There is a motive for every action, but who or what actually dictates this motive?  Well, basically a belief.
Someone would be hesitant to walk onto an ice rink if they had a strong belief they would instantly slip and fall. They might even avoid it all together. Obviously, they were able to gain enough knowledge on the situation to discern which action would be most beneficial for them. If you could barely stand on the ice, you probably wont start a jumping contest with a friend. Motive complete.

So if an action is based on motive, and the motive is based on belief, how can this system be integrated in a way that liberates and enhances a persons use of will? This might seem like a challenge at first, but its been demonstrated that Humans can be very resilient when comes to certain forms of practise. Where there is the will, there is a way'.
