Seeking serious advice on will (to create)
I really wouldn't be doing this if the person regarding whom I am asking did not mean so much to me (and for humanity in general).
I can give advice - and have done so - but outside advice, preferably from people who are in the same predicament (unlikely, as such people are very difficult to find), would be very welcome, for a number of different reasons.
Here is the problem.
This person I am talking about is or was a miracle maker. Or maybe a best-scenario-collapser, whatever. :-) I am talking about heavy-duty turn-arounds, improbable or even seemingly "impossible" things happening. This was so ever since this person was a small child.
This person also has an openness, a sense of empathy that borders on mind-reading and clairvoyance. This is a problem because it seems to have debilitated this person, and eventually it took away her joyful "magic".
Now, after suffering a series - let's call it an avalanche, it's more accurate - of devastating blows in the past five years, the will - the will of the Heart, that electric current that says, this will be so, end of story - appears to be gone.
And the reason why it is gone is also clear: person X does not believe any more that nothing bad could ever happen to her or to her loved ones. (Before, she did - even after it seemingly had happened!) This was the corner stone of her power.
Now,whenever she tries to reignite that old creative spark that had always worked for her before she was drained, the thought of all the horrible things that did happen comes to her mind, and paralyses her will.
(Not the ordinary "will", mind you; this person is perfectly functional. I am talking about the demiurg's will.)
Do you, any of you, know of an effective method of reigniting the Will, bypass the feedback od "experience", and avoid self-observing while doing it?
I can tell you that reasoning - even in esoteric terms - won't help.
It's as if she had some sort of in-built mechanism now that keeps reminding her of all the terrible things that happened after she allowed herself to be sucked dry of the creative "sap" by her own empathy.
Not even the memory and awareness of her previous life and "might" helps.
And please, I am not asking for reasoning why this might even be good for her (the "Ego" discussions and so forth :-)), or negotiating interpretations of "good", or how it came to this.
She just wants to be her former Self.
And frankly, so do I.
The world was a much better place when she was her old self.
She may have helped thousands of people - perhaps more - and they will never know it.
Besides, she isn't a fatalist by disposition. Or wasn't, at any rate. Maybe even that has changed.
I don't come here all that often, so if there is a reply and if I don't acknowledge it, it will probably mean that I have not read it yet. Thank you.
P.S. Thank you very much, <8>, for reading. :-)
I just came here to edit something, so I noticed.
