I<\/p>\n

\n

Emotion is the most primal energy in man. It is the source of all beauty, all passion, all pursuit of \u2018meaning\u2019 in existence.<\/p>\n

Emotion is also a product of \u2018knowledge\u2019 in terms of what tactics work in the pursuit of meaning. This \u2018knowledge of tactics\u2019 manifests as anger, love, jealousy, etc.<\/p>\n

Embedded also in emotion are the \u201calgorithms of pleasure\u201d – the subtle cause-effect relationships that are determined from the experiential history of an individual consciousness.<\/p>\n

Emotion is therefore the engine of human transformation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

II<\/p>\n

\n

Will is the driver, the chief operating officer as it were, that makes actions and fulfillment in existence happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will, with its relentless and singleness of pursuit of a goal, can provide the necessary stability and cold structural moorings around which the waves of emotional energy can lash.<\/p>\n

It is Will that ultimately becomes the anchor on which the ship of human stability can depend.<\/p>\n

But it is also Will that becomes the source of obdurate and purposeless journeys of experience and action that can fritter away the potentialities in a human life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will is thus the \u2018axle\u2019 of the human car, on which depends the safety and well being of the occupants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

III<\/p>\n

\n

Cognition, on the other hand, is the chief strategist, the perceiver of opportunity within experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

It represents the ability to perceive impersonal guides within the personality of life; perceive purpose within the matrix of form and function; the organizing principles around which the multiplicity of thought forms can be meaningfully organized for accomplishment in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

IV<\/p>\n

\n

When Cognition is fused with Will, the effect is a quantum event. i.e. when the strategy and structure get aligned, the basic framework for success is already put into place.<\/p>\n

Our conception of transformation uses the philosophy of using cognition as the mechanism to order willing effectively. The resultant Cognition-Will becomes the structural frame which we can transformation.<\/p>\n

When this Cognition-Will is directed to a positive fulfillment strategy, emotion becomes, as it were, purified and purged of its impassioned longings and instead organized itself into a powerful current of fulfillment-enabling fields of thought, action, and perception of existence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

V<\/p>\n

When Cognition-Will drives towards a fulfillment state, there will come with it two distinct states of being:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
    \n
      \n
    1. one, the end-states or milestones that will characterize the journey and<\/li>\n
    2. two, the process-state or platform that will be the framework within which the journey will be successfully accomplished.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
