Two Wills, Two Souls to Guide Us

“Know then, my beloved son, that if thou wilt keep the Light of Nature within its own proper bounds, and make use thereof in just subordination to the Light of God; thou must consider that there are in thy Soul two Wills, an inferior will, which is for driving thee to things without and below; and a superior Will, which is for drawing to things above. These two wills are now set together, as it were, back to back, and in a direct contrariety to each other; but in the beginning, it was not so. For this contraposition of the Soul in these two is no more than the effect of the Fallen State; since before that they were placed one under the other, that is, the superior Will above, as the Lord, and the inferior below, as the subject. And thus it ought to have continued. Thou must also further consider, that answering to these two Wills there are likewise two eyes in the soul, whereby they are severally directed; for as much as these eyes are not united in one single view, but look quite contrary ways at once. They are in a like manner set one against the other, without a common medium to join them. And hence, so long as this double-sightedness doth remain, it is impossible there should be any agreement in the determination of this or that will.” ~Jacob Boehme

Light of Nature

What Boehme s calling the light of nature is normal, physical light. This could be light from the physical sun, from the stars, from fires, or from bioluminescence. It even includes artificial light from light bulbs and LEDs. While they are not natural, they are part of the physical world and the light they produce is the physical kind.

Light of God

This is the other kind of Light that is far too often ignored. It is spiritual light and comes only from spiritual things. Its ultimate source is God, but God channels it through angels, stars, and even our souls. From our perspective here on Earth, the primary direct source of this Light is the Spiritual Sun.

The Inferior Will

Boehme says we humans have one soul with two wills. We in Cosolargy see it differently. We say that humans have two souls. We have an inferior Mundane Soul that is a part of the body-mind complex, and a Divine Soul that is part of the spirit, not the body. This inferior will or mundane soul deals with things in the realm of matter. It knows nothing beyond the realm of matter.

The Superior Will

The superior will is your Divine Soul. This soul is your direct link to the worlds of spirit and the spiritual beings that dwell there. But it functions that way only if it has been awakened. While some other techniques might be effective in some cases, the best way for most of us to awaken the dormant Divine Soul is to take in Light from the Spiritual Sun. This light not only awakens the Divine Soul but is, in a sense, food for the soul. The soul grows and develops using the energy from God that is channeled to us through the spiritual sun. This will (or soul) is superior because it not only knows and understands the physical world, it also knows and understands the spiritual ones. So as Boehme says, with the two wills, we must let the superior will rule and give guidance to the inferior will, the mundane soul.

Two Will Together

Just awakening the Superior Will of the Divine Soul isn’t enough to put it in charge. You must convince the mundane soul and the ego-mind to allow it to be in charge. This isn’t easy. What is recommended is that you tell the ego and mundane soul that they are mortal and will die when the physical body dies. But by listening to the Divine Soul, and doing as it advises, you will eventually become a fully integrated being. Then when the physical body dies, the two wills (souls) will go on eternally as one being. Failing to do that means they will separate when you die. Two wills shouldn’t mean two beings.
