A Power Greater than Willpower, Part One

The sparing use of will is essential for making the life you want. However, the overuse of will can do harm. Find a power greater than willpower; discover an easier way to get what you want. (This podcast was originally posted in April of 2021)

A Better Way to Do Things

A greater will and consciousness is at hand to help us in our lives.

There’s a better way to think and get things done than using self-will all the time.

There’s a greater will and consciousness within us that can outdo self-will every time.

A Greater Power than Willpower

There is a greater power than willpower; this greater power is the eternal presence at our core.

Discover your greater power — get calm, relaxed and stable. Go for a walk; read a good book. Meditate, pray, sleep more; eat well and exercise.

The Best Use of Will

A gentle use of will is usually the best.

Willpower is an excellent tool when used at the right time and place.

Willpower is basically an emergency response, narrowing our focus and creating instant action. Used this way, willpower can save our lives and preserve the good we have.

Use Willpower Lightly

The gentle use of will can help us tend a task.

Willpower, used lightly, can initiate and maintain good habits, with better thoughts and actions.

The gentle use of will, over time, can get us what we want.

Overuse of Will

Overuse of will can limit our possibilities and diminish our personal competence.

Using our will too much, and too intensely, can take us out of sync with life and put us at odds with the world.

Transcript

This is John Harrigan, Qigong Master, and founder of the website, Immortnow.com bringing you this secret to immortality podcast .

Today we'll talk about the power of our will, how we overuse our will underuse our will, and find the exact imperfect balance of will as we use it with the secret to immortality .

Again, if you haven't heard before, the secret image immortality has three parts.

One, mindfulness for immortality, where we have the thinking, the words, and the actions that create physical immortality, joyment bliss .

And two is the practice of Chigong for lasting life.

Chigong is an ancient Chinese healing art, specifically taught here for the purpose of physical immortality and self-actualization.

The third part of the secret to immortality is immortality coaching, where you work with a person farther upon the path, more experience, and more adept, a mentor, a coach, someone helping and teaching you privately upon your way.

With the secret to immortality, we become aware of the choices we make, how they affect our bodies, our feelings, our thoughts, in the world.

We become successively more and more aware of how we choose when we choose and what our motives are as we become more aware, we get more control.

The irony of growing awareness and growing control with the secret to immortality is that we really isn't much a part of it .

In the Western world, we think of willpower or willpower.

I've got to go on.

I've got to do it myself.

I've got to be in control.

With the secret to immortality, with Chigong and coaching, we're learning to step back from our will.

Will power often overcomes us in stringers us away from our immortal soul, from our eternal self that we're bringing forth with bliss, happiness, love, and consideration for others in ourselves.

In this podcast, we're going to refer to the blog post titled How to Use Your Will at Immortalnow.com.

Again, we'll be referring to the podcast How to Use Your Will.

And you can find that podcast by going to Immortalnow.com, finding the search icon at the top of the blog page, and you can find the blog page simply in the menu on the homepage of immortalnow.comcom.

So we're moving forwards towards immortality, and immortality is nothing more than the realization of our true eternal self, our our core, our soul, the blissful, happy , compassionate, loving creatures that we truly are, manifesting this in our lives in the world as ourselves.

And how do we do that?

One of the ways is looking at how we use our will .

And I would suggest to you with a secret to immortality, we don't use our willpower much.

We learn more and more to depend on a different type of power that isn't really willpower at all.

And again, the reference to this podcast is, quote, how to use your will, a blog post on immortalnow.com.

Just find the blog section, find the search icon at the top of the blog page and type in how to use your will.

So at the beginning of this article, I will read to you right now, what this article is about and what this podcast and a few podcasts after this are going to talk about and refer to, quote, The sparing use of willpower is essential for making the life you want .

We have to use willpower in some way to even tie our shoes, get something out of the refrigerator or find our way to work.

But more and more, I want you to think of the gentle use of will where you are empowered by your core that really isn't will and at all.

Quote from the blog post, However, the overuse of will can harm both ourselves and others.

Again, the sparing use of will power is essential for making the life you want.

However, the overuse of will , and I'd suggest to you that in our culture and modern cultures, almost everything is the overuse of will.

Almost everything we do is the overuse of everything.

And we're trying to dial that back so we can experience ourselves , appreciate the good, the love, the pureness, the internal core of who we are and act that out without effort into our lives, really letting that eternal core simply express itself as who we are because I suggest to you who you really are, who I really am, who all of us really are, is a still eternal core of infinite power, but it's a power that doesn't take action.

It simply is.

The sparing use of willpower is essentially for making the life you want.

However, the overuse of will can harm both ourselves and others.

Instead of self- will, find a power greater than will power.

Discover with me today in this podcast , an easier way to get what you want.

I'm going to read this once more because this summarizes the podcast today in a fewud podcasts following this on the exact same topic, quote, desparing use of willpower is essential for making the life you want.

However, the overuse of will can harm both ourselves and others.

You know, at one level that's really obvious, we all know self, really self-willed, overpowering people that want their own way, that are just impossible.

Well, of course, that's a problem.

Of course, they may be doing something wrong .

I suggest that all of us are unconsciously sabotaging ourselves by keeping pace with a will, with an agreed upon use of the will that's really killing us.

Quote,Instead of self will, I suggest to today, to you , to me that we find power together greater than will power.

And that power, I suggest to you, already exists inside you as who you are and you can find it step by step day by day on our website with everything there and by listening to these podcasts .

With me today, right now, discover an easier way to get what you want.

And I suggest to you, everybody in the world wants the same thing.

Of course, we want food, we want water.

We We want our needs met.

We want safety.

We want social status, we want friendships, we want love .

I suggest to you all this external things that we want and we desire. For survival.

They already exist within us.

And if we can collectively together, operate from this consciousness, we're not running around, trying to get our needs filled.

We are fulfilled as who we are, working together toward a greater good that we decide.

I'm referring to our blog post titled How to Use Your Will.

On our website, Immortalnow.com.

Find the website and then go to the menu, click on the blog section and the blog section at the top, find the icon for search and type in how to use your will.

This is the post, the blog post I'm referring to right now.

What is the best use of will ?

A gentle use of will is usually the best, and that seems contrary to everything Western.

And I suggest to you that everything Western and almost everything eastern and north and South is really designed to end our lives eventually, because almost everything in the world as we learn and as we look at it, is designed to take our lives.

The point of the secret to immortality is to become aware of how we are are cutting off our life force, how we are taking our own lives away from ourselves, and how we may be hurting the creation itself.

How do we use our will, our self will, our will power?

Quote, a gentle use of will is usually the best, but none of us are really trained to do that.

Some people are overcompensating.

Too much self-will can make us quiet , fearful, and not assertive, or just the oppositeite, over aggressive.

So the gentle, quiet, unassuming creature may in fact be doing the same thing that the overaggressive, difficult and troubling person is doing.

So when I say a gentle will is usually the best, I don't mean become a meek and mild person, be humble, be teachable, be calm , but keep listening to find out what I mean by a gentle use of will.

Will power, of course, is an excellent tool when used at the right time in place?

Willpower is basically an emergency response .

Again, think about that.

Willpower is basically an emergency response, narrowing our focus and creating instant action.

Use this way, willpower can save our lives and preserve the good we have.

But ladies and gentlemen , and whomever, I suggest that that is rarely ever needed, rarely ever do we need to act strongly with an emergency response?

But the unfortunate thing is all of us, a lot of us, society , societies across the world, are stuck in this emergency reaction of fight and flight with almost no in between, where we are in a constant search of for material, goods, needs, status, fame, who knows what ?

With a secret to immortality and what I'm teaching you today, we're turning that around.

I suggest to you, when we use our energy and our will, looking for external rewards.We are taking away our life force.

We are ending the world for everyone. In some way, our manner, with the secret to immortality, what I'm teaching you today.

Instead, we're turning around, that force of death, that throwing our energy out in pursuitursuit of materiality.

We're turning that around to look at ourselves .

And we already exist, I suggest to you, you already exist, as a perfect eternal being.

And with a secret to immortality, I'm teaching you, we're teaching you at immortalnow.com, how to turn around these ways of harm, really unconscious ways of harm and killing ourselves to finding the gold of our soul and living that into the world with happiness, joy, and freedom.

Use will power lightly, and that's in the post.

That's in the blog post at immortalnow.com.

Use willpower lightly, please.

That's how you get the most out of it.

The gentle use of will can help us tend a task.

Willpower use lightly, can initiate and maintain good habits with better thoughts and actions ?

This is from the blog post.

Willpower use lightly, can initiate and maintain good habits with better thoughts and actions?

All we need to do is the right thing a little bit more than the wrong thing .

Practice, practice, practice.

But it just takes a little bit of will, a little bit of will.

And then we activate that eternal bliss, that eternal sore soul, the eternal being, that we really are, but being born into a world where everyone is every life form is literally chasing down another life form in the belief that it must kill and eat it to survive.

What a troubled and difficult idea of life, and what a mass life has made of this world with that idea, that everything must hunt down and kill something else and eat it to survive.

I suggest to you that just ends creation.

It just ends your life.

It ends every other life.

It throws all of us into possibly a cycle of birth , of death and rebirth, again and again and again, where what happens.

I'm not sure anything happens, but a really a complete waste of time.

Maybe eventually we learn.

So let's learn it now.

Let's learn it today, not expect death, not playing on it.

But instead, eternal life. Quote, the gentle use of will over time can get us what we want, the gentle use of will.

And I suggest that by gently using will, we can communicate, activate, find, and belong to , that infinite God-like power that we are at our core.

And that power doesn't use will at all.

I suggests you, it's simply who we are.

And what we look at with that will, that power , of the eternal, whatever we look at comes to life, becomes what we envision.

So let's step a little bit into overuse of will.

Again, we all, could you not, we all think we know somebody.

Oh, yeah, we know that person that overuses will, but I don't.

Okay, if you're really serious about this secret to immortality, there are no I don't do that at all.

And there's no looking at other people to blame or explain or whatever.

This is all about you and you learning to relax, be calm, feel love, give something good to the world, have a life that you appreciate and want.

So what we're doing is we're looking at more and more subtle levels of willpower that we really don't have to use and we really don't need that wear us out .

Quote, Overuse of will can can limit our possibilities and diminish our personal competence.

And again, a lot of us now are thinking overuse.

Of course, yeah, I know that person the over uses as well.

Yeah, yeah.And they screw up everything for everybody at work.

No, we're talking about you , and you are looking at yourself right now, if you're really serious about the secret to immortality, about physical immortality, about joy, happiness, freedom, bringing something powerful and good into your life.

We're not looking at other people that we can easily criticicize, that we can easily, where we easily can maybe identify their wrong.

We're looking gently and seriously at ourselves in our own behavior.

When we are using our will too much and too intensely, without even knowing it, this can take us out of sync with life, and not life, as you think of it, when we're using our will, I suggest to you that we're taking ourselves out of sync with eternal life inside us and all around us.

Again, you know people that are so into self-will and so controlling.

They're out of sync with everybody in the world.

Well, yeah, that's obvious and none of us get credit for identifying people like that or condemning them.

This is about looking at yourself and seeing how, though you may think you're doing the right thing that you're actually acting from self-will, wanting something for yourself, at the exclusion of other people.

When we're acting with self-will , we're taking ourselves more and more out of sync with eternal life and putting ourselves at odddd with the world.

And I suggest to you that almost everyone is doing this.

By living the modern life, we're taking ourselves out of sync constantly. With who we are, with life, with nature, with bliss, with happiness, and love.

Self will creates mistakes, and again, this is looking at yourself.

It may be a little difficult to do if you're not used to it, and some of you are very used to it.

Take it to a deeper level.

Self will create some mistakes..

How am I the speaker to you right now using self-will , I can go through my day and evaluate it, how I've been using my own self-will too much, and not relying on the inner good, compassion, and love, whatever you want to call that higher power presence that is our presence in individually, our presence together, making something better.

I'm suggesting with a secret to immortality that you kind of give up the self-will deal.

Self-will, I suggest, is almost always taking us astray into hardship, difficulty, and death , even though we don't know it.

It may take a long time to get to hardship, difficulty and death, or you may be there now and you may have been there for years and decades, but you can get out of it.

Just listen to me today.

Follow some of these suggestions.

Go to our website, immortalnow.com.

We'll end with this today.

I try to make these about 20 minutes, and we'll have several of these following up after this podcast today.

We'll have several more that refer to this post, this blog post on our website.

Quote, Self will create some stakes.

I suggest to you that every mistake, every accident, every hardship, every difficulty, every disease and every death is a mistake.

It's unnecessary.ary.

We can undo all that together with our thoughts, our actions, and our words, with a little chigong and some coaching.

We can all do that together.

Suff will creates mistakes at the smallest level.

And this isn't about being a perfectionist at all.

This is about just taking a risk and looking inside yourself with me , not alone, but together with us at immortalnow.com, taking a look, listening to the podcast, watching some videos, taking our course.

You can find on the website, joining Immortality Lab where you have a Qigong class every week.

If you don't know what Qigong class is, go to Immortal Now .com.

We'll explain Qigong Class at the Immortality Lab.

And there are some free Chigong exercises on our website.

The overuse of will can cut us off from life, and I suggest to you, death itself for everyone and everything is caused by an overuse of will .

We're not over overusing our will, we have bliss, happiness, love, and peace, inside ourselves around us and with all of life.

Too much will can hurt us by restricting our view , our perspective.

Too much will can hurt us by diminishing our awareness.

We don't really grow if we aren't becoming more aware of who we are and what we're doing and how it is affecting us.

Too much self-will can hurt us by sabotaging opportunity .

I'm telling you, I guarantee you, there is opportunity every millisecond of the day of this golden good within you within all of life.

But when we're not looking to that opportunity of good, of grace within ourselves, within everyone, really, that exists with all forms of life, with everything manifest, life are not fast

Manifest or not manifest, we call certain things certain things non-life.

It's important to understand those are just human terms.

We have superimpose upon reality.

I suggest to you that you can think of all of reality. As a divine operation .

Too much will can hurt us by sabotaging opportunity.

Too much will can hurt us by creating errors and mis mistakes by limiting life's flow and vibrancy.

Willpower, again, will end it with this thought .

Willpower works well in limited situations like emergency situations of the house is on fire.

Yeah, get into that self well and run like heck or get into your deeper divine God's self or if you're an atheist, get into that deeper level of self when the house is on fire and gently and gently walk out protected, calm, and at ease.

You really don't have to use fight or flight at all if you're at your core of bliss.

Quote, Overuse of will can cut us off from our soul in the source of life. And end our lives.

So with a secret to immortality, we're slowly learning to become self aware, to find that bliss, happiness, and good within ourselves and live in that place from that place, in that presence where all of us are connected, where all of life is connected to a good and happiness.

Stay tuned.

We're going to continue in the next podcast with this same thought process, with the same blog post.

Bless you and keep you.
