Subject: True Will

The True Will is a grossly misunderstood concept; most think of
it as a mission of some sort or destiny and while these metaphors
hint at the nature of this enigma, they are quite shy of the
mark.

Simply put, the True Will is a current of energy; the most potent
current of energy any being can harness or channel, since it is
the enactment of expression and raison d'etre of an element of
creation; the Force of a pre-existent Divine Form; the long
germinate zeal of Unity for Infinity (and thence White Void). It
is the Tao, but this metaphor does not betray to western minds
the immensity nor the laser-like focus of this juggernaut of
flowers; It is (in the particular) one of the myriad points
coalesced from No-Thing (Ayin) that forms the Mind of 
God/dess. And still I am but pointing at the Sun while my finger
shineth not.

The True Will is what Castaneda's Don Juan Matus called
Impeccability.

Accessing the True Will is the aim of transcendental magick and
is intimately connected with the knowledge and conversation of
the Holy Guardian Angel. The Angel holds the knowledge of the
True Will and dispenses it as a libation unto the Gods. A pouring
forth of Destiny; the Dharma of the buddhist is one and the same.

When one does one's True Will it is as if the winds lifted one's
movements toward their goal; the earth supports your efforts
wholly and with complete abandon. The feeling is freedom
unleashed, purpose defined, resistance suspended. The grass
caresses your foot, easing it onward. No incarnate flesh can bar
thy way, no how matter obscure thy path.

The True Will in action is specific and well defined; not an
abstract conception, useful only to the mind. The knowledge of
the True Will is a well founded growth plan with spiritual aids
placed at your disposal perfectly suited to the task. It need not
be 'some vastly complicated, life-long, harrowing, 10 of Wands,
mission'. You can be doing your True Will going to the market; it
is a state of being, not the script of a melodrama. It permeates
your life imbuing it with an economy of movement and directness
of action that is amazing. If you are doing your True Will, you
will not soon forget it nor will there be any doubt. Not that you
have to have full knowledge of your True Will (which is
tantamount to the knowledge and conversation of your Holy
Guardian Angel) to do your True Will, but doing it always reveals
it to some degree.

Namaste,
