For Patrick: It's not about getting rid of the will, or the intellect for that matter. It's linking these up to the heart, the higher self, and divine guidance that is on a level beyond them. You are simply giving them direction and their proper place in your overall 360 degree system of mind body spirit complex, vs devaluing and trying to separate from them.
Do you understand that the approach of suppressing, diminishing, or getting rid of: the will, intellect, ego, personality, emotions, etc. is one of (not so)cleverly disguised separation? Do you understand unity comes through integration and everything working in its proper context in relation to all else? I think deep down you do, but there's confusion with semantics you are using that imply separation. Using those terms has lead you to believe it a bit on a surface level(dare I say an intellectual level?...), but there's a cognitive dissonance because you really know better. Consider the idea with any faculties you wish to employ, and see what your higher self says.
Enlightenment and transcendence are not achieved by separating the higher from the lower, but by the adept knowing that they are one and the same and actualizing this truth as much as possible within themselves.
