Any books that explain how to control the will? I know Schopenhauer said you can't but I don't believe him. I think there is a way he just didn't find it

The desire to control the will is already a desire.
Read dao de jing. Controlling the will is the same as not controlling it.
>4chud OP thinks he's smarter than schopenmeister
It's over, and it has always been
>anon thinks schopenhauer was some kind of super genius
actually pathetic
Different anon, Schopenhauer was a super genius.
Are you fluent in 7 languages including Sanskrit, Latin and Ancient Greek?
Learning languages doesn't make you smart. Anyone could become a polyglot if they just spent the time learning
So maybe writing a book of philosophy that builds upon Plato and Kant, being well-versed in the Western literary tradition, and being widely influential in the next two-hundred years, does make you smart? On top of the languages of course. Oh and he also studied medicine at university.
He was not well versed in philosophy. He read like 6 guys max. He literally admits this in the first page. Any random philosophy Ph.D has more knowledge about philosophy than schopenhauer
You are a fricking moron, he didn't admit such thing at all, he literally was a philosophy PhD. Please give the quote where Schopenhauer says he "read like 6 guys max."
>"I read like 6 guys max" - Schopenhauer
embarrassing post
We know for a fact Schopenhauer read:
Descartes
Locke
Hume
Berkeley
Kant
Plato
Aristotle
Leibniz
Schelling
Seneca
Epicurus
Eastern Philosophy in general
etc.
Schopenhauer also literally had a room across from Hegel and talked to him in person, Schopenhauer is more involved in philosophy than any modern philosopher could ever hope to be
Also theologians like Thomas Aquinas and Augustine. Many Christian mystics too, Madame de Guyon for example, Meister Eckhart, John of the Cross.
Oh, and Luther obviously. Neoplatonists like Plotinus as well.
yeah and you spend your time shitposting on 4chins
He was. His philosophy is the only worthwhile one.
That's an excusable assumption, one you'll have to forgive yourself for making once you read, understand, and meditate Kant's CoPR.
homie thought Rossini was the best composer I am smarter than him
Schopenhauer denied that knowledge is power because power didn't just jump into his lap while he was sitting in his couch of its own accord due to his sheer intelligence. Not intelligent enough to get OUT of his couch and his home and put his vaunted intelligence to use! Intelligence my ass if you can't even figure that! And then pretend to regale us with how jaded you've become of your intelligence! Well, as it happens, we too have become jaded of your intelligence, buddy.
Yes OP, you carry as many burdens as you desire.
You don't control anything, not even whether you're controlling or not.
P.D. Ouspensky’s works on Gurdjieff’s teachings.
The Will willed you and everything that surrounds you. It wills technology, history, suffering, thought. How do you control what wills your every action, every word?
What is Schopenhauer’s will?
Schopenhauer writes with such lucidity that even if he wasn't discussing philosophy you could tell from his writing he was a genius
And his penchant to come up with the perfect metaphor to explain an idea or phenomenon is unmatched, probably the best in the world. It's uncanny.

tldr?
It's only 100 pages anon
mfw there will never be another Schopenhauer
Nietzsche got close but is way more neurotic and schizo
nah homie, closest someone got to doing that is Buddha and you don't have what it takes to follow him. it's effectively over for all things considered.
There's no need. The Will is good.
Crowley and other occultists who discuss magick.
Jung and other thinkers who discuss archetypes.
If you want to shape the will, you need to get under its skin. You need to grapple with its shadow.
The conscious mind is solid, finite, immutable; no weapon can hurt it, no substance can change it.
The unconscious mind is liquid, infinite, mutable; here, and only here, is alchemy possible.
While biology provides restraints that must be worked with, our neurochemistry is extraordinarily vast in its potential, as vast as the cosmos itself. This vastness has yet to be exhausted.
Is there anyone like Crowley who isn't a weird creep?
>mind control
some interesting stuff in that stack
