The Will Project
- Will to will!
- The will must be:
- developed, grounded, re-oriented
- and used!-- Roberto Assagioli
The resources of the human will are immense and the purpose of this project is to help in actualizing them.
A very important and urgent application of the use of the will is that concerning the great issue of peace and war.
The effective means to change one's inner attitude, both individual and collective, is the constant application of good will. Expressed and applied, good automatically excludes violent conflicts and wars. It would be well to realize this strategic point and to make a campaign for good will, in schools and everywhere, a major concern.
Of course, there are even higher uses of the will. The Transpersonal Will and the unification with the Universal Will can add a still greater incentive and means for the achieving of true peace.
The following program is intended as a preliminary map for further exploration of the will. It can be expanded and modified. It is a basis for future work which can yield enormous rewards.
An international group is gradually being formed to act as a focal point and to pool the responses and experiences of all who wish to take an active part in The Will Project.
