The Electric Will

The Electric Will is an exercise in definition, for definition and its absence sit as the root of all things - moral, immoral, amoral.

The most effective help sometimes comes in the form of reflection. Constant positivity and the urge to increase stores of materiality are delusion; these are not help but harm. Harm is losing oneself in the dream of unreality - the self-enslavement of a frightened and soulless biological mass. To reflect is to think; to think is to consider where one falls short. All fall short of the glory of God, it has been said. Though, perhaps we have been mistaken on where that shortfall precisely is.

Our defect is seen not in the context of daily living, but beyond it. One must remove oneself from the context while keeping it in view; only then will one have seen the error: the self that is not its own. If the self is not its own, we wonder at its origin. The origin is the will. The will-to-live, the will-to-power - these are hints at a truth that is far more sinister.

The will belongs to the beyond. Our only recourse in this life that is really death is to thwart the will through a solitary and final act of will. What this act entails is the echo of eternity, which stands beyond good and evil.
