Love is the power of will; love is spiritually called will power. When someone says “God loves”, it actually means “God is Will”. The creation is caused by the love of God, the Will to God. Our earth and heaven are governed by universal laws. If someone says “I love it to do that”, it means “I will do it”. A stronger expression is “I completely love to do that with all my heart and mind.”
Do not clutter up your nights or days with too much “busi-ness” that it makes it impossible to be in love and live with love. This is true for both work and play. It is not a cause for celebration if a day is just survived with only money as its reward. The human heart, in its purified form, is the hologram that contains the visible and unseen worlds. It is the part that reflects all of them. The human heart is the place where the Divine is most close to an individual. The heart is where we find our motivation and our knowledge. It has a strength and depth of will that the personality does not have. The heart is not abstract, metaphorical or intellectual when we speak of its integrative power. Purification and realization of the heart opens up a portal to the infinite. It also leads to a restructuring and reorganisation our nervous system. This allows us to express our full human potential. It is easy to fall into the world where we live to work, rather than to live to work. We can be too busy rushing through life and not taking advantage of the time that is available. We must have the ability to willpower in order to manage our lives for the good of others. No more busy work. There is no need to hide from your love. Give yourself time and space to grow. Now. Now! Tomorrow is not tomorrow
Love in action. The heart of love
The turning point is discipline. The pain of regret is always greater than the pain of discipline. As we move away from the ego’s short-term pleasures and pleasures to the purpose, dreams and long-term results, the control of the ego is lost and you become the lion. This is the key ingredient in the transformation of ego life and love. Discipline.
Will is a different type of power. Will recognizes there are temptations and that old patterns are still around, but that no amount of righteousness, devotion, or fanatic adherence, will be able to remove them. While they have a fear of alcohol, an alcoholic can still be an alcoholic. There is an alternative approach that can be used with willpower. It is just more important.
Will doesn’t depend on goodness or goods that can be separated from the bad. The healing fanatic will tell you endlessly about the benefits of organic food, just like the healer. That is blind fanaticism’s ego, building dogma and separation. There are good and bad sides to everything. Will is a different thing. Will asks: “What are my long-term goals and what are the best choices for me to make in order to reach them?” I could say, “I want the world to help children.” I’d ask, “When?” You might answer, “Until my death”, but I might reply, “When?” You might also add “Ok, when you are 90”. Now we have gotten past the loose fantasy with little detail to get to some more detail. We go to lunch, and you sit next me. The menu asks, “What’s your lunch?” You might think that there are many options, but you’re not serious about traveling the world and helping children until you’re 90. You might opt for organic salad to help you achieve your dreams. This decision is made using “willpower”.
The heart is the source of power.
The heart is a part of the body located just below the breast. Because humans are unable to grasp the concept of a heart outside of their bodies, there is an area in the flesh that houses the idea. This area is the most sensitive to feelings and has been called “broken” at times. However, no actual physical break occurs.
The heart is made up of thought, memory, will, reason and the ego. Our ego’s surface is our mind, and its depth is our heart. Our identity is clearly descripted by our heart. The heart is where we can feel or know ourselves as much as our ego would prefer. When a person is able to understand their nature, character, and the mysteries of the heart, they can understand the language of the ego. The heart is the key to understanding the ego and turning it into a resource for you instead of against it.
Willpower is what separates our ability to feel and act on emotions (which is honesty) from foolishness. Human nature is to experience a variety of emotions in response to the world around them. These are both the human illusion and the characteristics that make us human. Emotions across the entire spectrum of life are what make us human. A musical piece is composed of all the keys. The joy of living is the experience of emotion. However, the suffering of life can be described as acting on or legitimizing them.
Emotional reactions and action are the foundation of life. Will is the intersection of this and the ability to live below the surface in love. Our will power (God-power) becomes suffocated when we react to emotion. We become like a leaf in a storm driven by the happenings and goings around us. A life that is based on emotions can lead to uncertainty. It is a great way to enjoy the flavour and texture of life but it can also be a terrible guide system for your decisions. Will, therefore, is the gentle power that can honor emotion but prevents you from taking action based on it.
Ambition can be motivated by egotistic attachment or emotional escapism. Or it could be inspired by the human spirit and inspired calling. Ambition based on emotional escapism can be a contradiction to our goals if we are looking for love. It is unreliable and inconsistent. It tends to focus more on “How I feel now” than “How I will feel if my dreams are not realized.” It is not love-centered. It won’t attract the sacred love and health we desire to give.

You can beat yourself up if you promise to do something and then you fail. Be firm in your commitments to discipline in your relationships. Don’t lie if you break them. Admit it. You can’t let anyone beat you more than yourself. You can work on your discipline, will and love by finding a better reason for following through with your commitment. It is about having a reason to commit to something. If you are able to love yourself enough, emotional blackmail will not be a reason to commit. If someone tells you, “I won’t like you if that” then it is only if they already hate you. At this level of will, you must have a dream. A dream that you love so much that it is worth the risk.
This happens when someone loses something. A friend of mine had a heart attack. They had no willpower and were not very disciplined. After that disaster, they turned to health obsession. They were emotionally again the next year and began to eat junk food. They were afraid to be disciplined. This is not sustainable. Find a dream in your relationship that is large enough that you want to live it. Then, work out the costs of living that dream. You don’t have to live the dream if you aren’t prepared to. If you don’t have a life worth living, your relationship won’t last.
You might have trouble making long-term commitments after two to three broken dreams. Start with the smallest dreams and work your way up. The last chapters of this book contain a section on dream matching.
The will of the heart is the unbridled experience that does something you love rather than something you love. This awareness is used to bring the choice-making awareness into every aspect of your life with discernment and without compromise. Will is the heart that chooses long-term benefits over emotional expression.
The beauty of sacred relationship is not in emotional drama. It’s in wisdom and making choices that are in alignment with dreams and love. You will choose to do low-priority activities to satisfy your mind if you don’t have the will to make wise choices. These are self-sabotaging activities that do not satisfy your dreams. Your lover will likely leave you because they cannot wait for you to become a better person. Your lover will never treat you differently if you consider yourself unworthy of love, unworthy for higher purpose, or unworthy long-term investment. You are the only person who can do more for you than you do for yourself. Will power is self-love, and will is love.
Self-love is in living life and not in thinking about it. Self love is action. It’s the action of making choices. When you are worthy of your respect, you increase your self-worth. All self-deception is emotional drama, low priorities, working with other people’s priorities, and living vicariously through your children. Nature won’t allow it. Anyone who doesn’t work hard on their higher priorities to realize their dreams will be met with disaster, tragedy and humiliating circumstances. You can’t love if you don’t have a dream.
The cosmic reward for someone who can affirm, “I enjoy doing this,” is much greater than that of an ego that might declare, “I like this, because these things are what I get for doing it.” While achievements last for a few moments, life is a journey. The wealthy person, who is surrounded by material victories and achievements, can’t smile at the end of a hard day’s work or the thought of taking a walk in the garden to reflect. We find God in the eyes and hearts of our loved ones, not the buildings we build to accommodate them. Wealth is not found in the generosity of others, but in doing things that are high on our priority list.
Willpower is not the same as power, even though it is all that is available. What is the function of creation in the universe? What is the world? It is possible to will it. All chaos is transformed into order by the laws of the universe. All of the universe is controlled by five simple laws. Emotion is the refusal to follow these laws. What we call our willpower is actually God power. Emotion is the opposite of hell power. Willpower is a combination physical and mental strength. Even though our hands are perfectly crafted, they can’t hold a glass of water without willpower. A seemingly healthy person won’t be able stand if their willpower fails. Fish don’t swim with the body of fish; they swim with will power. When man is able to swim, he can swim like fish.
Humankind has achieved incredible feats because of its will power. While will is the key to success, it can also lead to failure, no matter how intelligent or strong a person may be. It is not only human power that drives us. Amazing feats are possible because of the divine power within the human body. It is even more difficult to focus on a thought if you don’t have the willpower. A person who cannot focus, can’t keep their thoughts still even for a moment means they lack will power, because it is will that holds a thought.
Rumi: “Birth and water, fire and air appeared to us as objects but before God, they are living beings. They stand as his obedient servants and obey divine Will.”
As our divine heritage, we were given a portion of the divine will. It is our awareness of it that makes it more. It becomes less if we don’t recognize it. Positive attitudes towards life increase the power of willpower. Conversely, a pessimistic attitude to life reduces its power and takes away its great potential. Our life’s progress is hampered by us. No one can be more detrimental to us than we are, because at every failure, we see ourselves as the only thing that is holding us back.
The mind becomes restless when it is forced to hold one thought for too long. It isn’t used to being disciplined. It will not let go of a thought of regret, blame, anger or pain, grief, sorrow, or failure. When the mind is asked to hold a specific affirmative thought, it often refuses, saying instead, “I’m free and I won’t be controlled.” This is the ego fighting the heart of will, it’s the ego trying to control emotional freedom and cursing the divinity that is sacred love, dreams, and joy.
Your mind must be taught discipline through concentration. Once the mind is able to focus on your work, it will become more focused. Because children lack discipline, a parent must be strong with them. Disciplined minds are your servants, not your master. Both the thoughts and actions of the heart are crucial for the fulfillment and happiness of a person’s life and, most importantly, of their relationships.
A common statement is “I do my best, but I can’t concentrate. I can’t keep my mind still.” While it may be true that they are unable to concentrate, it is not impossible that they do their best. What more could you ask for once the mind is your servant? Your world becomes yours, and you become the ruler or queen of your kingdom. Some will argue that the mind should be free as it is free. The simple answer is to observe the life without discipline. It may be filled with emotional drama and even a full bank account. They are no longer the essence of their lives, but only living shells of emotion.
Self-discipline refers to the ability to master oneself, no matter how difficult or tyrannical at the beginning. Self mastery requires discipline and will. It’s not a coincidence that great sages lived in caves with great devotion and great purpose. This is not something you should copy, but something you need to fully grasp. This is self-discipline, it’s the development of will power. This is the turning point in a sacred relationship. It takes the will to invest in your love.
Some people would spend their entire lives sitting under the coconut tree, waiting for the coconuts drop. Some would cut down the tree to own it. Some people would learn how to climb and then bring the things they need into their lives. Too many people enter into a relationship only to wait and see what happens. We make the babies and buy the furniture. We can enjoy sex without affecting our brains in either of these actions. Love is will, effort and you can’t survive without it.
If you are determined to do so, there is nothing you don’t have
First, you must put your body through discipline. This is the best way to develop will power. It must be in the correct posture and stand where it is requested to. It must not be agitated or tired by the tasks it is given. This is what yoga teaches. The body must respond to the demands made by the person it is assigned. When we start to discipline our bodies, we see how disobedient they have been throughout their history. The body is there to be used as a tool, not as a reason to live life. You can train your body with mental exercises.
Concentration is the key to discipline in the mind. Only after the body is disciplined can it occur. The mind can become very restless if it wants to think about one thing while simultaneously thinking about another. Because it is always moving, it doesn’t want to stay in one place. People often tell me that their hardest time during the day is when they want to focus. The mind will jump at this point. The mind is an entity. Your mind and body must be your servants. Your mind and body need to be your servants to help you realize your dreams. You must feed your body with food and enjoyment, and fill your mind with emotion, righteousness, and justice. To achieve true comfort, happiness, and love, they must behave as you want them to.
There is a distinction between silence and concentration. Silence can be described as a state of mind and body that relaxes. It is also a state of repose and healing. Concentration means to hold a thought in your mind. Meditation is the opposite of concentration.
The following examples illustrate this. Which time do you get up in the morning? Anytime? Or to get you to work. Most people want a flexible time to wake up, depending on their feelings or last night’s activities. Self-given freedom can have a devastating impact on one’s health, worth and vitality. When wake up time is set, life revolves around it. Time becomes a fixed point, a mark in the day. Emotion is not the master.
Another example is money. The majority of people spend on impulse, whether it’s emotional spending or retail therapy. These people are not often people who are wealthy or have earned their money. If you can’t control your emotion, you can’t control your spending. Emotional spending is a result of the desire for immediate emotional satisfaction.
Freedom is not a result of freedom to feel or act on emotion as many people believe. It also does not come from rigidity and stoicism. For authentic living, emotions must be felt. Will power is the ability not to act but feel. We act out of love, we act out of dreams, and we feel for honesty.
