True Will is a term found within the mystical system of Thelema, a magical society founded in 1904 with Aleister Crowley's writing ofThe Book of the Law.
Crowley defines True Will as the will which "does not rest content with things partial and transitory, but...proceed[s] firmly to the End", and in the same passage he identifies that "end" as the destruction of oneself in love.
It is defined either as a person's grand destiny in life or as a moment-to-moment path of action that operates in perfect harmony with Nature. True Will does not spring from conscious intent, but from the interplay between the deepest Self and the entire Universe. Thelemites in touch with their True Will are said to have eliminated or bypassed their false desires, conflicts, and habits, and accessed their connection with the divine. Theoretically, at this point, the Thelemite acts in alignment with Nature, just as a stream flows downhill, with neither resistance nor "lust of result". Crowley's ideas on the subject partly originated with the teachings of Eliphas Levi, whose magical books emphasize the magician finding their magical identity – his or her 'true self', which Levi referred to as the "True Will"
With this previous magical or occult terminoogy of will, let's use it in a more mundane sense of that drive that take us to take any kind of action to achieve something we want, need or dream.
I recently saw thew new music video and single from Metalcore legends The Ghost Inside, wether you're a heavy music listener or not, you gotta check the recent story from this amazing band, not going to delve too much into it, you can google the whole thing, but yeah i wanted to make a post in honor and respect from this musicians, who portray perfectly and embody the magicians concept of "Will."
I leave the music video down here, heads up is a very positive and emotional song, so if you're sensitive to "the feels" prepare to shear a bit.
