WILLPOWER

1. To contrast the appearance of doing (acting) with the essence of being, as one would contrast the will with the soul, power with contentment - not least of all in relation to the noumenal axes, germane to space and time, of metachemistry and metaphysics, wherein the will and the soul have their respective per se manifestations.

2. To contrast the quantity of giving with the quality of taking, as one would contrast the spirit with the ego (mind), glory with form - not least of all in relation to the phenomenal axes, germane to volume and mass, of chemistry and physics, wherein the spirit and the ego have their respective per se manifestations.

3. The notion of a 'will to power', à la Nietzsche, is really a tautological paradox; for power is of the will and the will is power, whether in metachemistry, its per se manifestation, or in the 'bovaryized' contexts of chemistry, physics, and metaphysics.

4. The will, in short, is an expression of power, whether the latter happens to be metachemical, chemical, physical, or metaphysical, depending on the type of will.

5. Conversely, power is an expression of will, whether the latter happens to be evil, good, foolish, or wise, depending on the type of power.
