Everyone is born with will as part of their senses and is located in the nerves at the back of the neck. From there it transmits the individual perceptions of the other inner senses to the conscious mind. These individual perceptions i.e.. pain or depression, are then formed into a complete perception of the inner reality in image and word form, which the person’s conscious mind can then assert as their inner truth.
The force of will lies neither in physical nor mental power, but in its irresistible strength, which develops when it aligns with inner truth.
Pain and suffering need to be understood as a warning sign by one’s natural protective system. It is often the only bodily messenger that can get our attention to tell us that something in our body/mind complex is out of balance. Without this message, the condition could lead to serious illness. Seeing pain as an enemy causes a person to fight the messenger rather than identifying the root cause of the disturbance, thus creating an inner warfare between the will and the body.
Retreating from fighting immediately eases the pain.
A person’s will may also be held in bondage by the belief that life is a pre-written script “written in the stars” or determined by karma carried over from past lives. Or passed on by heredity “written in the genes”. A sense of doom prevails and a sense that some dark fate is in the making from which there is no escape. Such views mistakenly picture the Cosmos as hostile, indifferent, or even “a set of mechanics”. The irony is that the person who holds such views projects them constantly into reality; thus one believes that they are true. One needs to realize that the parallel reality one creates through projection traps us in one fate after another.
The effect is an unaccountable depression that constantly undermines the will. The mood quickly synchronizes itself with bad weather conditions, negative news reports, prophecies of global fates, etc., all of which keep one locked in the negative vortex created by the underlying belief in predestination , and its complimentary belief that one cannot do anything about it.
I encourage everyone to read The Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce Lipton.
