From Frater Otto's texts:
(On Motivated Willpower and Unconditioned Volition):
[quote]
...the True and Complete Human is able to raise a 'will'. A will which has not been motivated by others nor pressured by Meme's of groups. A will that was never created by others and is not being maintained to please or satisfy anyone else. This 'will', let's call it 'unconditioned volition', raises out of the sea of consciousness like a giant whale. Visible only for a short time, it soon sinks back into the depth of the ocean of awareness. The waves generated by this appearance survive for a short time as seemingly 'unmotivated willpower'. Then, the human mind invents or allocates a reason WHY it must exist and assumes a purpose for something which was originally unconditioned, not-motivated, without predecessor, new-in-itself, and not a restimulation of anything prior. THIS SPONTANEOUS VOLITION NOW is the quality that the True and Complete Human is able to bring about, and be it only rarely and spontaenously. Being subject to the manupulation around us, it rarely is being recognized even the moment it occured and it quickly subdues to be 'rational' when in fact it was entirely 'irrational', or better 'arational', not needing any justification for its existence, nor purpose, nor an end...
