‘Negating the will’
Comment from Danny.
There is a lot of material here, let me just comment first on the phrase ‘negating the will’. That’s an idea that echoes Schopenhauer, perhaps, or else a kind of Buddhist reflection on ‘cessation’. In referring to the path in time and the path beyond time the issue of the ‘will’ must arise, along with our feeling about that, the optimism of the dweller in time, or else his pessimism, as with the first noble truth. You can’t really ‘will’ your passage beyond time! That’s all I meant.
