Will was allegedly cultivated only by sorcerers. It cam to the practitioners veiled in mystery and purportedly gave them the capacity to perform extraordinary acts.
The will develops in a warrior in spite of every opposition of reason. (Power, 81)
The world is held up by reason makes all of this into an event we can watch for a moment on our way to more important things. All we can say about it is that a man is lying in the grass in the park, perhaps drunk.
Thee world held up by will makes it into an act of power, which we can see. We can see death whirling around the man, setting its hooks deeper and deeper into his luminous fibers. We can see the luminous strings loosing their tautness and vanishing one by one. (Power, 113)
The sorcerers’ explanation says that each of us has a center from which the nagual can be witnessed, the will. (Power, 273)
It works only when the warrior learns to focus his will, there is no way of practicing it…at a given moment in the life of a warrior it simply happens. No one knows how. (Power, 235)
She added that the problem the Nagual had left for us as a challenge was whether or not we would be capable of developing our will, or the power of our second attention to focus indefinitely on anything we wanted. (Ring, 327)
But at least your know you are waiting for your will. You still don’t know what it is, or how it could happen to you. So watch carefully everything you do. The very thing that can help you develop your will is admidst all the little things you do. (Reality, 149)
It is the area of will and also the area through which we all die. (Reality, 198)
The womb, or the area below the belly button; the power to select or assemble. (Eagle, 136)
Ancient Toltecs masked it and made it more horrifying than it is…something sacred…the new seers took a closer look and called it will, the will of the Eagle’s emanations, or intent. (Fire, 80)
“The mastery of alignment”–the energy that comes out of the alignment of emanations; will makes us behave the way we do. (Fire, 218)
The aspect [of alignment] that makes [the assemblage point] stationary is will. (Fire, 218)
The trick was in the will. (Reality, 121)
A warrior has to use his will and his patience to forget. In fact, a warrior has only his will and his patience and with them he builds anything he wants.
You have started learning the ways of sorcerers. You have no more time for retreats or regrets. You only have time to live like a warrior and work for patience and will, whether you like it or not. (Reality, 245)
A warrior knows he is waiting for his will.
Will is something else, something very clear and powerful which can direct our acts. Will is something a man uses, for instance, to win a battle which he, by all calculations, should lose. (Reality, 146)
Our will operates despite our indulgence.
[Will] is not a thought, or an object, or a wish. To stop asking questions is not will because it needs thinking and wishing. Will is what can make you succeed when your thoughts tell you are defeated. Will makes you invulnerable. Will is what sends a sorcerer through a wall; through space; to the moon, if he wants.
Will is the force which is the true link between men and the world.
Will is a relation between ourselves and thee perceived world. (Reality, 147)
