Jerry:

Thanks for the question.  also thanks for the many answers you
sent to me. It will take a couple of days for me to digest and
answer.

Only reason I did the selfish/unselfish distinction is that to me
motive plays an essential part.  Actually will is quite colorless
and if the motive is selfish and personally directed, the will
follows it in implementation.

Subject: Theos-World To Dallas on Will


>>I[t] is exactly on the difference between the two: desire
(selfish)
and Will (unselfish-if true) that I was thinking.<<

Dallas, why do want to make desire selfish and will unselfish?
What about the desire to help others? What about the will
to earn money in order to control people? What happened
to motive?
