focusers, In my previous post on the self, the analysis centered on the static part of the self. The dynamic part is far more difficult to analyse, being more complex and basically unexpressable in static terms. So we have no resort except to use "fuzzy concepts" to describe the dynamic. One such concept is that of Flux and METAFORCES. By metaforce i mean here a force acting on the consiousness of a being as a result of either a certain flux or a value pattern. We know that static patterns in time undergo change or transformation in the structure of static patterns in a Being, and also that Dynamic Quality, according to MOQ, must therefore be the agent or Metaforce of any such change/ transformation. If we consider DQ as a singular unitary metaforce, then we cannot distinguish a positive (moral) change from a negative (immoral) change and any further analysis becomes a futile effort. For a meaningful metaphysics, therefore, DQ as a metaforce will have to be considered a composite of several forces acting upon the consciousness of a being. One such meta- force is will -almost as important a metaforce as the moral force which can said to be the primary component of DQ. Again, will is an undefinable metaforce but there are a few aspects of will that can be generalised without much risk. None of these are provable of course. 1.The Will is a Personal Force that is unique for each individual, indicative of direction, talent, predilection and purpose, providing of course that this is realised and developed. It may remain latent, if not developed in the early stages, or may get totally suppressed by other forces, in which case it dies out. Will is the property of certain inbuilt structural (hardwired) as well as unknown dynamic factors, or a combination of both. The development and expression of the will is what makes and distinguishes an individual being. It can be generalised from this that the will is an indication of the manifestation of the true individual. 2.It is a metaforce that is distinct from either the moral force or the survival force although it can and does, oppose or align with either. FREE WILL THEREFORE MEANS THAT THE WILL IS NOT DEFINITELY OR FIXEDLY ALIGNED WITH ANY OTHER METAFORCE.(The survival force i mentioned in an earlier post, is the most powerful metaforce acting on a Being, but being internally generated from biological patterns is technically speaking a pseudo metaforce, like the force of social agreement or the force of general agreement.) 3. Will, when tuned with a purpose, and in harmony with the the support faculties, becomes a potent force for becoming or accomplishing a state of being or a goal. 4. It is a force that arises from within, but depending upon its nature, can be directed inwards or outwards. Directed outwards (socially), a strong will competes with the will of others (dominate or influence), and the result can be constructive (if the will is aligned with the moral force) or destructive (if the will is in opposition to the moral force.) A weak or absent will makes a Being vulnerable to the will of others, and tends to cling to the will of other strong willed individuals or just latches simply to the prevalent social forces resultant from social or cultural patterns. 5. The dynamism of a society depends upon how free is the will of its individuals, that is, how well the existing social patterns allow for the will of its individuals to express itself and even allow for those individuals to change or transform its value patterns. Radical changes are brought about by strong willed individuals, but since strong willed individuals are more likely to be distructive, a lot depends upon how the existing value patterns can channelise the force of distructive individuals at an early stage. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
