From the author: Peace and goodness. My professional interest and research into the manifestation of will in a person led to the fact that it is not enough to define what will is, but it is also important to determine its structure. A person tries to start living only with will and ends with fanaticism, a person starts with love and ends with foolishness, a person starts with creativity and ends with addiction, an alcoholic under the fence. The problem lies in deductivity, the awareness of the indivisibility of three parameters - Will, Love and Creativity. The will cannot be opposed to love and creativity, love to will and creativity, creativity to will and love. Only when a person understands that his will comes from self-love and self-realization through creativity, integrative integrity comes to him, he becomes a harmonious person. A person’s personality begins with will, namely, to will through the love of creativity and to create through love, which takes a person out of the will. Why is this so, because all human anxieties stem from the deficiency of love in childhood. A person tries to prove to himself how strong-willed and creative he is, or he protests. If we turn to such works as the Old and New Calls, it is clearly clear that the Old Call is teaching the ability to believe and will, and the New Call is a call about love. If Will is the foundation, then love is the house that is based on this foundation. We must pay tribute to William James, a psychologist-philosopher, a brilliant American who spent his entire life dealing with the problem of will. He was tormented by hesitation and inability to make a decision. In his last years, when he could not bring himself to give up lecturing at Harvard, one day he wrote in his diary: “I refuse,” the next day: “I do not refuse,” and on the third again: “I refuse.” Difficulties with decision-making were associated with depressions, during which, he often writes about his desire to find “a reason for wanting to live four hours more” - made him become so interested in the will, and it was in the fight against these depressions that he learned so much about the human will. He believed, as a therapist, that it was his own discovery of the power of volition that allowed him to live an incredibly fruitful life, until his death in his sixty-ninth year, despite his sleep disorder, eye disease, spinal pain, and so on. He begins his famous chapter on the will, published in 1890. Lack of will is much more than just an ethical problem: modern man is too often convinced that even if he really exerts his will - or what he means by this - his actions will still lead to nothing good. It is the inner feeling of powerlessness, the discord in the will itself that constitutes a dangerous problem. It was inevitable that the will should be undermined. And the fact that many people say that “will is an illusion anyway” seems to be nothing more than a repetition of the obvious. We are stuck in passivity. Let's take the problem of free time. Here the choice will be necessary for a significant number of people who will work only four or six hours a day. There is already evidence that if a person cannot fill the void with purposeful activity, then he faces apathy, which breeds impotence, addictions and self-destructive hostility. This is why the human will, in its characteristic form, always begins with the word “no.” We must confront our surroundings, be able to give a negative response; it is inherent in consciousness. Man's task is to unite love and will. They do not come together as a result of spontaneous biological maturation; their joining must be part of our conscious development. There are different views on the etymology of the word Will. Somebodyholds that will is the ability to make choices and perform actions, or it is a property of a person consisting in his ability to consciously control his psyche and actions. Or perhaps this is a phenomenon of the subject’s regulation of his activities and behavior, ensuring the formation of goals and the concentration of internal efforts to achieve them or the ability of a person to manage his actions. In my opinion, will is the ability to organize one’s personality in such a way that it leads to movement in a certain direction or towards a certain goal. Everything in life has a beginning, and so will begins from the beginning. The first and fundamental source of will is myth. This is an association with a ship, whatever you call a ship is how it will sail. Personality in a person begins with the acceptance of his myth. And what kind of animal is this - a myth. A myth (from Greek) is a legend that conveys people’s ideas about the world, man’s place in it, the origin of all things, about gods and heroes. But what is Myth from the point of view of personality psychology? The essence of Gestalt therapy is the restoration of the myth that destroys a person, namely, the lack of understanding, reliability, stability, reciprocity, or the myth that people are so full of stupidity, insanity and uncertainty. In Gestalt therapy we try to restructure a destructive myth into a constructive one. Our habits from the pre-conscious period, from the motivational conflict of conception, from perinatal development and postnatal development, materialized in the form of motor imprinting, through anticipation, imagination and cognition. The basic destructive myth is a lack of personal significance, a poor attitude towards oneself. And it’s easier this way, because if a person is a nobody, then you can live on borrowed anti-crisis management of mom, dad, wife, husband, mistress and someone else. A person is engaged in self-rejection. Why does this happen? At birth, the mother tore him out of herself, depriving him of immortality within himself, to mortality outside himself, and the person continues the path of rejection of himself. This may indicate real suicide or life-long suicide, the gradual destruction of personality. Not accepting yourself as you are. This is the first moment, and the second is a refusal of one’s significance. A person, through protest or proof, has come to prosperity, financial solvency and can safely support his husband, brothers, sisters, and invests all his funds in the family structure with which he surrounds himself. It seems to him that he is, but in fact he is not, because there is no significance in what he does. He forgot about his talents and abilities given by God. From the outside, they tell him - you are a real hero, you are great. Giving up oneself and giving up one's significance destroys a person. The Soul, the moral and ethical continuum is destroyed, what is called personality is destroyed. If a person is ready to carry out restructuring, accept himself as he is and admit that he no longer needs third-party crisis management, then he turns to his moral-volitional resource, to accepting his myth. To transform a destructive myth into a constructive myth, to show oneself to the world, and to be able to live with it, but sometimes there is not enough will for this. A person understands the terrifying thing that showing oneself is also not enough, one must fully be, be oneself. This is accepting your myth. This is a conscious appeal to the structure of one’s will. The bottom line is that a person’s development is directly related to his volitional resource, which must be demonstrated in his own name, starting with accepting himself and his significance. Every person came to planet Earth to create and create. For this purpose, God endowed man with uniqueness, talents and abilities inherent only to him. This is why and why we need to understand and realize that there is Will and its structure. Continuation of the structure of the Will in the following publications. Literature: 1.
