Universal Will

Share This

Universal Will is the capacity to support others. We use the term “universal” to differentiate it from personal. So a universal aspect is for everyone, and not just for the individual. This differentiation is clearly seen in the essential realm.

Universal Will creates a sense of immense strength and solidity, a confidence in one’s capacities in relation to others. Hence, it is quite important for personal relationships. When Universal Will is present the feeling is that one’s personal Will is supported by a bigger, more immense and more universal presence. It is quite impossible to appreciate what we mean when we say it is an immense presence, without having the direct experience. It is like feeling one is solid, immense and immovable, like a mountain. There is nothing like it in ego states. – The Pearl Beyond Price: Integration of Personality into Being, An Object Relations Approach, Ch. 26
