My current view on the will is that I have two wills. One is my base or ego will and it is concerned with instant gratification, greed, anger, etc. The other is my higher will, the one capable of influence from God, the one aiming for my and other's true best interests and positive evolution. More later.... off for a hike.

As a few of you shared, I too am frustrated by a rigidness that is often received during verbal/writen discourse around belief. That knee jerk and invalidating response of 'you are wrong' is not uplifting. I try to remember that this behavior and response are about them. Mine are about me. I certainly have sensitive vulnerabilities - for example, a tendancy to self-identify as inferior. As I work to replace that concept, I find that I am back on a spiritual path and with a need to share and learn with/from others. Problem is, it is often ineffable, and the words just get in the way when I try. I am still trying, and hope these forums will be a safe place for me to grow.

Thanks for your welcomes. Indeed, language can be limiting - sorry there featherman
