What is the Volitional or Volitive Soul?

The Volitive Soul is the first to appear in relation to Life. In a certain sense, the Will is prior to the organic world as our ancestors understood. The earth and the orography, waters, fire and air are expressions of the Volitional Soul. The Volitive Soul goes beyond the cell and the molecules themselves. What we call matter in the strictest sense, atoms and subatomic particles, already manifest pure volitional dynamics, without the intervention of other Soul Forms. This Volition is a basic form of Consciousness. Any ordered System expresses a form of Consciousness, no matter how basic it may be, that is, what we call the non-animated material Universe, is Volitional Consciousness, ordered energy, although not organically, in the common chemical sense of this word.

Hi Oscar l, can you expound further on the use/definition of consciousness or will in the sense that they apply to order systems? If I were to Google the term consciousness, something like being aware of one’s surroundings comes up. How does one measure or determine this presence in any ordered system?

I am going to answer your question as an entry in case more questions arise about it, and we differentiate this thread the Volitive Soul per se.
The post name is Understanding Consciousness in terms of the information integration of a system.

Can we say that the volitive soul has the same nature of the Life Force, the Chi(Qui)?

Limen et Continuum

By
  Existence is Encounter. Meeting at the limen. In the limen, the masks disappear, that is, the basic intuitions of identities, such as the identity that I feel and think in relation to the tree that I see in front of me. The identity of the tree is a projection of mine: the unity of my process of perceiving the tree generates a mask in me, the ghost of a limited unity separated from everything else. The simplest form of intuitive understanding of masks and limen is given to us by numbers. Numbers intuitively express the liminal tension that is Existence. A little etymological note. Rythmos in Greek means flow. Arythmos (number) is what does not flow, what remains solidified. Numbers express the liminoid, and flow, rhythm, expresses the liminal. A rhythm becomes liminoid when we can trace patterns in it, that is, when we can construct masks of identities. Mathematics has spoken of flow using the Latin word “continuum”, the continuous. All modern science, since Leibni...

Masks and Ego

By
  The ego is the force of psychic centroversion, that which establishes points or frames of reference. Without the coordinate point (0,0), we cannot orient ourselves or act. The ego is the force that builds an unlimited number of references, of centers around which different formations of the Soul will appear. In Sanskrit, it is called Ahankara. Aham means “I”, kara is “the process of doing or carrying out”. As a compound word, Ahankara means “the process of making or uttering the ‘I’ ( aham ).” The ego is an action, a force that establishes or says the “I”, that lays a fundamental reference stone with respect to another action. For example, the human organism spontaneously performs the physiological action of seeing, the organ of sight is set in motion automatically, and automatically, a force also appears that assigns another action to the function of vision: the action that says “I ”. The synthesis is “I see.” It also happens in animals, for the acti...

Matriarcal or Uroboric Incest

By
Let us discuss some basic aspect of ego formation: its appearence out of the uroboric round. The uroboric round is the realm of the primordial waters (you can listen to my Podcast on the Primordial Waters). I really recomend you the book: The Origin s and History of Consciousness by Erich Neumann. (Princeton University Press). Neumann was a friend of Jung and member of the Eranos Group. We could understand the appearance of the ego from the unconscious through the myth of the emergence of an island from the primordial waters. Its appearance, however, is not permanent and definitive, especially at the beginning. The tides of the unconscious rise and the island is once again covered by the waters. Only a progressive systematization of consciousness leads to its permanence. To keep consciousness awake, a force of determination is necessary, which requires a display of psychic and physiological energy. For the appearance of consciousness it is necessary to exert an energy that moves...
