....arguable the most common and certainly most original manner of Selfrealisation got in the course of mans histories discriminated as outcrop of ego, defamed as antisocial and reprimanded as immoral, whereas Self suffered denials and Will became synonymous with wishes and desires. There have been plenty of attempts, famously by Buddha and Lao-tse, to reconnect man to his so called true Nature/Self/Will/Atman, and were doubtless easier in “old times”, than in the current division/multiplication process (progress) that has become synonymous with western civilisation. In the Occident “Do what you will” was mostly confined to philosophical discussions and apparently neither understood nor applied as a way of Selfrealisation, since Will got divided into a divine and a human property, latter characterised by emotions (like wishes & desires) which in turn are the driving forces of its fragmentation. And as the latter seems to grow exponentially, and with it the confusion and helplessness of its subjects, Do your Will becomes more urgent than ever, as it overrides the restrictions of Dualism and thus enables Selfrealisation according to ones true Self/Nature/Will/Atman.
without a reasonable self restraint, as universally practiced as possible, there are difficulties created in life that need not be. there are of course, just as much restraint that is gratuitous for anything other then a kind of exercise to strengthen the ability of self restraint. the balance i think, is to not kill imagination, while at the same time avoiding the causing of socially and personally debilitating psychological pain. and we need to understand that this needs to be without arbitrary bias either, because if you're not respecting universally, are you really respecting at all?
