Contrary to the old idealists
Contrary to the old idealists I
think the "will" is objective not subjective. The idealists
and the old religious and philosophical gurus in effect considered
the will evil and something that should be blocked so as to have more
"objective" religious and aesthetic experiences.
But those religious
experiences seem to be the subjective product of the mind blocking
the desires of the body (which Buddha and Christ called for) with the
resulting hedonistic bliss defined as Godly, or higher objectivity.
It seems highly arrogant of human
beings to think that they are experiencing real Godhood or high objectivity because
life, including human beings, must evolve far beyond the human
species to reach real Godhood.
We can "experience" the
material will within but that is not God, it seeks Godhood by
activating life to evolve toward Godhood. This requires not blocking
but paying attention to the will---here called the material
spirit-will-to-Godhood---and then helping the material evolution to
Godhood as best we know how.
The will is the objectively-oriented
and Godhood-oriented activator of life toward absolute objectivity
and Godhood. But there probably is no absolute objectivity or
absolute Godhood because there appears to be no beginning and no end
to evolution, only many starts, stops, new beginnings, and even many
Godhoods along the way.
