From: jeffrey E. <jeevacation@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2016 12:02 PM To: Deepak Chopra Nietzsche <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_Fri=drich_Nietzsche> Opposed to this interpretation, the "will to power" can=be understood (or misunderstood) to mean a struggle against one's surroundings that=20 culminates in personal growth, self-overcoming, and self-perfection, and assert that the power held over others as a result of this is coincidental. Thus Nietzsche wrote: My idea is that every specific body strives to become master over all space and to extend its force (its will to power) and to thrust back all that resists its extension. But it continually encounters similar efforts on the part of other bodies and ends by coming to an arrangement ("union") with those of them that are sufficiently related to it= thus they then conspire together for power. And the process goes on.[29J It would be possible to claim that rather than an attempt to 'dominate over others', the "will to power" is better und=rstood as the tenuous equilibrium in a system of forces' relations to each other. While a rock, for instance, does not have a conscious (or unconscious) "will", it nevertheless acts as a site of resistance within the &=uot;will to power" dynamic. Moreover, rather than 'dominating over others'=, "will to power" is more accurately positioned in relation to the subject (a=20 mere synecdoche <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synecdoche> , both fictitious and necessary, for th=re is "no doer behind the deed," (see On the Genealogy of Morals chttps://en.w=kipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Genealogy_of_Morals> )) and is an id=a behind the statement that words are "seductions" within the pr=cess of self-mastery <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-esteem> and sel=-overcoming <https://en.wiki=edia.org/w/index.php?title=Self-overcoming&action=edit&redlink=3D1.> . The "will to power" is thus a "cosmic" inner force act=ng in and through both animate and inanimate objects. Not just instincts but also higher level behaviors (even in humans) were to be reduced to the will t= power. please note Th= information contained in this communication is confidential, may be at=orney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is inte=ded only for the use of the addressee.
