The Wild Wonderful World of Will

[DanJones]

What Will in this diagram represents is something totally alien to most people.  The popular conception is things like "Mind over Matter" and "it is a matter of will to get things done" and so on to describe events in the Tonal. 

But from the above diagram we see that Will is something that connects to Seeing, Feeling and Dreaming which most people have a vague notion of but it also connects to two of the strangest worlds there are, the Tonal and the Nagual. 

From the above diagram Will acts like a mirror reflecting what is below it into things above it. 

Through Will we can See into the Tonal and the Nagual, or Dream the Nagual or the Tonal, or Feel the Tonal or the Nagual.  I am stating the obvious but real Nagualism is couched in the obvious and the common and the simple.

Will is inexplicable and it is what our Life Force is composed of, a vibrating binding force that holds the energy fields that make up our being together.

Using Will when I See or dream something I experience a feeling and it sort of goes like this. I will have feelings/sensations in my body as well as knowledge of what the object is and also what it looks like based on what has been selected from the Tonal or the Nagual. 

Will is where the view of the Nagual exist while Reason is where the view of the Tonal exist.  At the ultimate center of Will one can witness the Nagual, the indescribable void where all the feelings, selves and beings float like barges forever unaltered by the passage of time. 

We need to open our gap to project our will into the world around us.  I have had people clasp me with their will at times and when they do my muscles contract and sometimes spasm painfully if the Feeling is a negative one.  If the Feeling is positive the clasp can be quite pleasant, such as a kiss or a hug.

I really don't mean to be disrespectful Dan but could you tell me if Will as described in the diagram is something you your self have identified and know about first hand? I am all up for debates about things. I for example have first hand experience of having a gap and being open but as yet know nothing/am not aware of will firsthand.

When you need to take a piss... that is a will.
If you wanna know firsthand what will is close your eyes a imagine a projective that is circling infront of you, not an object, just the move of it and trajectory... that is will.
Problem with will, thats there not much words, which could really describe will as will is not understanding, but impulsive.
Will is what makes Tonal to move at all, Will is the proccess of the move - its perception, Reason makes position, same it is with Nagual.

When I read how Don Juan showed Carlos how he could clasp things with his will and one time escaped from a female mountain lion by stroking the lions tits with his will and caused the lion to lay down and relax I was floored.  The idea that something can snap out from my body and join me to anything in my surroundings was earth shattering.  I was riding the bus home one night and as a women walked to the front I did something I am not proud of.  I wanted to see if I could clasp her with my will.  I grabbed her with my Will like how Don Juan did to Carlos and she stumbled and dropped her umbrella onto the floor and I said Oh My God it is true.  Another time at a friends house with a surly pit bull I was sitting across the room from the snarling animal and I could feel the predator-prey relationship being played out.  I closed my eyes and reached across the room and clasped something in its luminous shell that pertained to humans beings being caring towards animals.  Feeding them, throwing the ball, scratching their back.  I then pushed this energy and replaced what the dog was doing with what I have.  I opened my eyes to see the dog staring at me in bewilderment.  I wanted to bite this man but now I want to go over and let him pet and handle me was in its eyes.  And that was what it did.  After that we were fast friends.  I threw the ball and scratched his belly.  This was a pit bull that was aggressive and territorial by nature.  What I did was old school.  I cast a spell onto the animal using my Will.

So yes Littlepaw I have first hand experience with Will.  I have more stories and experiences that I can count learning about what my Will is capable of and more importantly what other people's Wills are capable of.  You have Will too, the  only problem is you have been taught to have doubts about what you are capable of and you dissolve your power into thinking about it rather than letting it be a part of you that has no affiliation to your mind.

Draco, as I read your posts, I like what you contribute.  You have an ability to move your assemblage point fluidly and it shows up in your writings.  Do keep up the good work.  Like what Dreamways says is "we all need to become competent Sorcerers" because this is our time.....

Littlepaw, I like your intensity and commitment to truth in what we are doing.  Thank you both.
