61 THE INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE WILL
At the beginning of the universe there was only one being and consequently there was only one will, but this being was divided to fill the universe with different beings, that means that many different wills were also created, therefore, each being must take into account the rights of others if you want to avoid conflicts with them. However, when a being acts as a leader or representative of others, it is easier for him to see that community as part of his own scope of will or as if they were part of himself. In other words, the fact of representing them may cause them to take their rights less into account and their own will more than if it is a relationship between equals. Analyzed this from a metaphysical point of view, it is as if the leader absorbed part of the will of the others, because representing them would give him more power than they and consequently, he would be closer to being a single will with respect to them than when it is between equals. Whoever holds a managerial position is also closer to the masculine pole than the feminine pole, this is related, because the masculine pole represents the individuality that acts alone or as a representative of the others, on the other hand, the governed part represents the collectivity of equals that they act coordinated by whoever directs the group.
When a managerial position is exercised, the distance that exists between the multitude of equals without government and the single individual and with a single will is somewhat less, because when representing them his will is confused with theirs, that is why it is easier than confuse your own will with that of those you represent. This is because being more powerful than each of them and representing them, it is easier for them to think that only one will counts. It must be borne in mind that in this situation the proximity of this being to a hypothetical world in which there is only one being and only one will is greater, this makes it easier for confusion to occur but also deliberate abuse. An individual separated from the rest represents the masculine sex, but a group of many individuals together but equal represents the feminine sex, therefore, the power nucleus is always masculine because with its leadership function it turns the group into a unit. This means that when there are several equal individuals, the polarity balance is obtained by choosing one as the coordinator of the others, then this assumes the masculine, red and vertical value, and the governed assume the feminine, blue and horizontal value. Power and the ability to command are qualities of the male sex by nature, that is why women with masculine characteristics are more authoritarian than feminine women. It is true that in the world there are many intelligent women and there have also been good queens, but it is evident that they would not have been able to exercise that position if they had not had many men who have helped them.
When a person ceases to be part of a group of equals and takes over the leadership of that group, then he loses part of his equal consideration towards others because his closeness to the single will increases, because in that situation his will it is more important than the one with its subjects. However, that also doesn't mean that your will is the only thing that counts. It is true that in that position he has more power than each of his subjects separately, but his power is the same as the sum of all of them together. The subjects have the same power, but unlike whoever holds the presidency they show it indirectly, for that reason, whoever has a position of power must strive to be a president but never a dictator. Upon acquiring a position of power, his passive and feminine attitude becomes active and masculine with respect to those over whom he commands, but remains feminine or the same among those who have the same level of power.
A universe with a single being would only have one will, because it would include all the will of the universe within it, and the matter that would form it would be exclusively masculine, then the femininity of that single being would be represented by the black and square void that surrounds it white and circular nucleus. Therefore, the circle is male and the line is female. In this case, both the white circle and the black square would be part of the same being and of the same will, because in reality all things contain both polar or sexual aspects within them. The existence of separate sexes is a situation derived from specialization. This determines that a sexual or polar value predominates in one being more than the other, however, this situation is balanced by being the other way around in the opposite sex. A universe made up of many beings but without a government would be exclusively feminine and anarchic because there would be many wills but it would lack one to represent the others. The will that represents the others becomes masculine with respect to them and their ability to understand plurality is less because, as they have more power, their opinion counts more and therefore, they are closer to individuality and absolute power than the individual rest.
Excessive optimism when misdirected can also lead to the opinion of others not being taken into account, because optimism is masculine and humility is feminine and the masculine sex is related to power and the individual vision of things, for that, we must ensure that optimism does not destroy the humility of the soul. Optimism and depression are two opposite extremes that need to be balanced in order for us to be happy. Ideally, our mood would be in the middle position between optimism and depression, because each one can have something good or bad. Excessive optimism can lower our guard, and a little depression can help us to be more realistic and also to keep our feet on the ground when we are not sensible enough. There is nothing wrong with being more optimistic than normal if it is exceptionally, but it is best to try to maintain a balance between the two as a general rule. Keep in mind that happiness is not the consequence of having a lot of optimism, but of things working properly.
An individual being represents the male sex, power, the vertical line, and the color red. And a group of beings governed by another represents the female sex, the horizontal line and the color blue. This is so when it comes to studying the mechanism of power and its relationship with morality, because in this case power is vertical and philosophy is horizontal. It is true that those who have a management position have more facilities to abuse power than those who do not have that position, but that does not mean that having political or economic power necessarily turns a man into a scoundrel, which does power is to make it easier for those who used to be a scoundrel to show it more clearly, but those who were decent before having that power, most likely will be decent after getting it. Due to a moral imbalance, a person can act as if they were the only person that exists in the universe and that is why they ignore the will of others, when they are in that situation it is as if they have a God complex, because they think that their will is the only one that counts. By doing this, you are applying an exclusively masculine attitude in an environment where the feminine aspect should predominate because it does not make sense that it acts as if the community does not exist when it does exist, that is, it acts as if they were not people but only objects that are part of his own scope of will.
This usually happens when a child is taught that his own will is the only one that counts, then he, dominated by arrogance and vanity, assumes that others are not people but objects without will. If this attitude is not corrected in childhood when the mind is still malleable, it may happen that upon reaching adulthood it becomes its definitive personality, because upon reaching that age the mind loses the flexibility of youth. That means that later it will be very difficult to change, and if at that moment the child has already assumed that his will is the only one that counts, he may end up becoming a psychopath, because when a psychopath considers reaching the last consequences in Regarding contempt for the will of others, the result will be crime, because that would be the only means that he would have to hide his desire to exercise his will over others without it being known. We must not forget that there is a great difference between being a president and being a dictator, God is a president but what the psychopath wants is to be a dictator. This behavior is a serious error that can only be solved when the law shows you through punishment that not only your will exists in the universe but also that of others.
